Meanwhile In Pakistan

The people of Pakistan are brave and fearless. To prove that statement I need not to persuade further if and only if you are a Pakistani. This photo was taken on Lahore Ring Road near Mehmood Booti. Now if you live in Lahore or visited this city whatever is your status you must have seen people crossing the roads exactly from under the walk over bridges which I presume Government intended to built to walk over them while crossing the road, but again according to the words in quotation "we are who we are". But here is an interesting fact, as I told you earlier Pakistanis are brave and caring especially when it comes to their assets. This man has no care for himself but he cares a lot about his herd as you can see in the photo. No matter what he earned a Nobel Prize for animal rights.
