Pakistani efforts that make waves
Hi… Hello… ASAK… Namaste… (Basically whatever rocks your boat!) I got to know of your site from bandbaja.org … Though i seldom do this, (maybe because there is seldom anything Pakistani yet worthwhile on the web), but your blog is a commendable effort.. Please keep up your blog as long as u can! I hope [...]
I’m positively amazed
Very very nice! I’m positively amazed at the quality of the content. Good culling skills indeed. This is really a useful info source. AmanPakPositive: Now that’s a unique way of describing Pak Positive!
Decision to locate the IMAX theatre
The decision to locate the IMAX theatre, in the “Doongi Ground” near the Mini Market in Lahore, is a bad one. This ground was the only one in the area for children to play. Commercialising it speaks poorly of the regard the authorities have for the needs of the residents of the area. The IMAX [...]
Positive perspective of pakistan
Hang in there. I can imagine how the negativity must be getting to you, this country is making me more depressed day by day. As for making the site better – hmm, maybe add a section with articles on pakistan or even ask people to write articles on their positive perspective of pakistan or even [...]

You really are doing a great job, every time I get disillusioned I click on your blog and sigh in relief that there is something good going on in this country. Oh, and to mention something positive, Strings [...]
Misses an editorial voice
This is a response to your ill incommunicado appeal. First of all, you should have post-centric comments. Many a times, I would like to say something, (ok, snarky but that is excusable) but it is not possible. Secondly, your site, as valuable as it is, misses an editorial voice. Perhaps you should interject a post [...]
Excellent comedy troupe
Just wanted to share an article that I liked. It is about an excellent comedy troupe from Pakistan. They were also chosen to perform in UK on a couple of occasions. I am a big fan and would like to see them go places. http://www.bandbaja.org/issues/009/features/blackfish.phpPakPositive: We could surely use some sense of humour as a [...]
Photos are great
The photos you posted are great! I’ve always found it difficult to find good pictures of Pakistan online.PakPositive: Even I was pleasantly surprised to find some ‘actual’ pictures, having almost always encountered fake porn or the usual minar-e-pakistan, jinnah-tomb, k-2 or faisal-mosque, etc.
