TO GO WITH 'PAKISTAN POLITICS TRANSPORT' BY MASROOR GILANI In this photograph taken on September 23, 2014, Pakistani painters decorate a truck in Rawalpindi. Pakistan rickshaw and trucks not only move people and goods but also deliver political messages and have started claiming space on social media in a militant-hit nuclear armed country. The truckers had long been carrying inscriptions 'Salute to Pakistan's military' and 'I miss you after you stepped down' in the memories of 1960s dictator Field Marshal Ayub Khan with his uniformed portrait painted on the rear. The rickshaws which traditionally carried poetry on their rears are now being seen with hard-hitting inscriptions, often sarcastic, for instance 'Honk low, the nation is sleeping' written on the back of a rickshaw and became viral on social media, screams about the general apathy of people about their condition.

(Original Caption) Pakistan: Water Way Of Life. The river, the stream, the canal set the pulse of life in the countryside of East Pakistan. Human activity flows and ebbs to the rhythm of countless waterways that thread through the land. Supporting (sometimes destroying) crowded villages that cling to their banks for existence. Crammed into an area only slightly larger than the state of Arkansas, East Pakistan's 42 million inhabitants are attuned to their giant water clock. When the country's many river are 'normal,' the living is easy. Bountiful waters irrigate crops, furnish abundant fish, and serve as highways for small boat traffic. But the waters are never 'normal' for very long. Early summer, ironically a time when other peoples of the world are enjoying water sports, can be a grim time for East Pakistan's river folk. Drought sears the land; daily temperatures bubble well over
