Dear Readers,
T
he land of Pakistan holds a special meaning for the residents here. It has a magic that lifts up the spirit and puts a smile on your face.
This quarter, we unveil some of the magical sights that take us back to the glorious past; the Tomb of Jehangir with its architectural splendor, the beauty of Faiz Mahal in Khairpur, the stately tomb of Allama Iqbal, next to Badshahi mosque and the aplomb of the Flag Staff House in Karachi. An inside of the Wazir Khan Mosque is presented here with a unique view of its structure, layout and the expanse of it. Moving on, some of the outdoor activities take center stage including the adventurous trek along the famous Chitta Khatta Lake, Baqar Lake and Shogran. For cultural enthusiasts, a take-home souvenir guide with amazing traditional and cultural pieces is indeed a treasure trove. Likewise, a wrap of chunri delves into what this colourful world offers and the magnificent allure of its charm. Last, but not the least, our cuisine explores the delicacy of Kashmiri Chai that remains quintessential during winter season in Pakistan. A trip to Kartarpur Food Street in Rawalpindi is a feast in itself. One of the fascinating festivals that we feature her is the Shandur Polo Festival that has become a pride for Pakistan. We take you to the Shandur polo ground, to the helm of winning the best of what it offers. Happy reading!
