Talibs Enjoying their Game in Early Hours
By: Haroon Baloch



After signing in my office on bright and sunny morning of Islamabad in spring 2011, while having my breakfast at "Dhaba" behind the posterior boundary of my office, it was amazing to see these young chaps playing cricket in a vacant plot of CDA (Capital Development Authority).

Changing environment and Pakistan’s crises

Haroon Baloch January 07, 2011 The pace of development in South Asia has always remained questionable, mainly attributed to outsized populations.
