Download or watch Classic Ptv Pakistani Dramas.
Posted by umair in Pakistan, Popular Media on February 23, 2010
Guest House or Sunehre din, Alpha Bravo Charlie or Dhuwan these are all the Dramas that Media deprived Pakistanis of the 90s were hooked on to. A Pakistan that had just opened its eyes after the long rule of Gen Zia, looking for entertainment had the best of his/her time with these Classic PTV Drama series which were the epitome of Drama making and the holy nectar of creativity.
With all the development and the media infiltration and commercialization of this industry good drama making has more or less died and disappeared. But Pakistanica Tv is keeping the electric pulse of those times running wild on the net. All you need to do to indulge in those old days and get a dose of Nostalgic memories is to sit back, relax, fire up your browser and watch em on Pakistanica. We hope the developers keep it running and updating cause it is one great step taken to keep the heritage alive and show the Directors of today what real Drama is.
Pakistan of the 90s and the Art of drama making nothing comes close to perfect :).

Top 10 cities with the most pickpockets.
Gawal Mandi, Food street these are the places where i have seen pickpockets taking wallets and stuff in front of your eyes and disappearing in seconds. I always thought Lahore and Karachi would be the biggest city for pickpockets but no it isn’t so this report by Times tells us the top 10 cities with the most pickpocketing accidents causing nuisance for travellers, tourists and locals alike.
1. Barcelona, Spain. Las Ramblas, the wide pedestrian walkway, voted the “perfect place to get your purse poached.” One reviewer compares Barcelona pickpocketing to football - a generally practised and accepted sport.

MQM does it once again.
MQM has done it before and i think although i live in Karachi and respect Mustafa Kamal for what he has done as i have seen him change this place before my eyes but after seeing this video i think they need to clean up the psychopaths and minions and throw them out or they will never be able to make inroads into main politics, yea if they wish to remain in Karachi forever then let it be so. Listen to this stupid guy and judge for yourself. Some questions are stupid but some answers are more stupid than anything else in the world.
Now watch this:
After watching this video i miss the old days and the patriotic people like Ashfaq Ahmed. I wish Pakistani leadership was like this guy who has passed away to god .. not like the monstrosity in the video before. All the politicians are just a fragment of the society and time who will be swallowed in the black hole of hell.

THE RAIN IS BACK, WHERE HAD IT BEEN.
I study in Karachi but i am from Islamabad, Karachi is mostly facing a dry spell and all of us travelers or pardesi as many would call us love rain. Karachi means if you see rain it will be heavy and then you’ll see people praying for it to stop. The infrastructure is so that water stands all around hampering daily life. I love that situation where people are helplessly wading around and its wet and happy but thanks to the thankless people they start praying for rain to stop. Rain also has a heart you know she never comes back after that been a year that i hadn’t seen rain in Karachi.
