the Italian job Paperazzi came across a young lad from Italy who's knowledge and insight about Pakistan not only intrigued us but left us wondering how this Italian could see many of the wonders in our beautiful country that most of us yet haven't been able to. We pick the brains of Federico Arata, a fine, charming and free spirited fellow who was an absolute delight to chat with as he tells us about how he came to fall in love with the country we call home. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Hi! First of all, let me say how happy I am to have the possibility to share my experience! I am a 30-yo Italian, from Genoa, that grew up in Rome, but has studied, worked, and lived abroad for the last 10 years (Paris, London, Bahrain, and now between Zurich and Milan). Travelling has always been fundamental in my life, having now visited more than 80 countries, with a preference for the nontouristic ones. I graduated from Cass Business School in London, and was a banker at Credit Suisse before falling in love with your country, its people, and assessing first-hand the many possibilities that it offers. First of all, tell me when was your first visit to Pakistan? My first visit to Pakistan took 32

place a year ago. A good friend of mine, met in London, was so kind to invite me and my parents to his beautiful wedding in Lahore. And that was the perfect reason to come to Pakistan. And - as usual - go off the beaten track. We stayed 3 weeks that first trip, and besides the exotic fascination of the wedding celebrations, we went up North, to visit the Kalash in the Chitral area, and then the entire Karakorum Highway, from Islamabad to China, and back. Including deviations to Taxila, Hunza, Gilgit, and Fairy Meadows. What got you so interested in it in the first place? Why Pakistan? Well, before coming and experiencing directly, I was interested in the country by the simple fact that it was not a touristic destination - at all. And since I usually try not to be a sheep and follow what you are told to think and do, this was already a great reason. But also geography and history. Being myself a mountain lover (I am, slowly, doing the Seven Summits challenge), Pakistan offers three of the highest mountain ranges in the World, with the Karakorum, Hindukush, and Himalayas. But it probably was history that played the major role, since Pakistan boasts an incredibly old and rich past, with some of the greatest civilisations on Earth leaving a mark on these lands. And history is fundamental. We in the West
why your country is so special. So why Pakistan? Because being such an underrated place, and actually offering so much, it's a continuous surprise. And not just for tourists: Pakistan offers infinite business opportunities in a wide range of sectors to people that have their eyes open and have a holistic vision of things. My background in business and macroeconomics probably help in seeing the "big picture" of Pakistan, but again, the main point is going the extra mile, think critically, don't take anything for granted, and come and see yourself (that's what I tell them)! tend to forget where we come from (because of relativism?), but a tree without roots simply dies. As simple as that. Our past tell us who we are, and what we can achieve. When I learned about the Gandhara civilisation that’s when I fell in love with Pakistan: a country with such an exceptional culture, deserves a completely different treatment, by foreigners and Pakistani alike. It should be respected, admired, and rightfully claim its place in world affairs. Back in Europe, do you get asked the same question a lot? (Why Pakistan?) If yes, how do you respond to them? Yes, absolutely. But now they get used to me promoting Pakistan! I can't stand hypocrisy and Western media brainwashing (the one-thinking diktat as I call it), so, yes, I am never tired of explaining
So where all have you been to in Pakistan? I have done five trips to Pakistan so far, besides the first one which was a holiday, the other ones I had the ambitious objective of properly understanding the better I could your country, culture, and people. As well as following-up on some already existing projects, and preparing the basis for more ambitious ones - again, I might have an adventurer side, but my background is business. And Pakistan has everything to be a land of opportunities‌ Going back to your question, I went to Karachi and got inspired by its vibrant economic activity (which once also my birth city, Genoa, had), Lahore and its decadent old city as well as the most elegant mosque I have ever been, Islamabad - where decisions are taken, the Unesco’s Takht-i-Bahi Buddhist archaeological complex, Peshawar and its bazaars, Taxila and the surprising historic marvels it still offers, the Katasraj Hindu Temple - which made dream so many friends back in Europe when I showed the pictures, Hunza and Gilgit and their breath-taking sceneries as well as surrounding majestic peaks and never-ending glaciers (and then wealthy Pakistani go to Switzerland or New Zealand to see them!), Abbottabad, Fairy Meadows and Nanga Parbat, the Killer Mountain, Chitral and the incredible Kalash people, Gandhara-rich Swat Valley....and I even skied at Malam Jebba! Share with us a memory from one of your trips that you will cherish for life. As said, I have been to more than 80 countries... But only with Pakistan I developed this genuine and strong link. It's difficult to explain rationally. Good memories, inputs, and feelings are so many, touching different aspects of my being, and we the humans are so complex that is difficult to define or limit ourselves! But maybe I can select two of them. I was in Taxila 2016

it. The Kalash alone offer an incredible fascinating subject, and even if it's not the first documentary ever depicting them, it's the first since many years, and with the precise goal of reaching a mainstream audience and winning awards, thanks to refined filming, and sophisticated and accurate storytelling, as well as careful and precise post-production & distribution. It's going to be a series called the Lost Europeans looking for long-lost, little studied, IndoAryans populations. That's amazing! And when will we be able to watch it? Fundraising is about to start: that's the key step before filming! Good luck then. I am sure you will be successful. The project sounds great, and even more your goals. Actually thanks for doing this for our country. and the guide showed us the base of what was a stupa: friezes included Hellenistic, Buddhist, and Hindu architectural elements in an unique fusion of artistic and ideological influxes. Something simply mind-blowing. A culture taking the best of different worlds, to combine them and move its culture to a higher level of sophistication. Forward-looking people while preserving their heritage. An example for today, for everybody. Another incredible moment took place while visiting the already incredible Kalash people, their ancient and peculiar physical features as well as their culture - a mix of history and myth. I was inside one of their pagan temples, and an old man was explaining a child that the altar of the temple was facing the West because that's from where their ancestors many centuries ago arrived (supposedly the Macedonians with Alexander the Great). While he was telling this (translated in real time by my guide), the sun was setting behind the mountains that probably were already in Afghanistan... an epic and dreamy moments that just inspired me for more travels like this before it’s too late. Oh, did I tell you about the documentary about the Kalash? No! Sounds intriguing, please tell me more. Well the Kalash are of one Pakistan many unknown gems, largely ignored in the West (as always when it comes to Pakistan), but when I showed my pictures to friends back in Europe - they simply couldn't believe there are people looking like them so far away. And when I told about the Kalash unique culture and that they claim to be Alexander the Great descendants, the "wow" effect was guaranteed. So given that my best friend Tommaso Marzotto has a movie production company, I proposed to make a docufilm on the Kalash, with the idea of promoting their beauty and fascination to a broader audience - and an ambition to starting changing the perception of Pakistan by showing one of its treasures, and generating curiosity in people. Pakistan to be associated with positive terms, and not just terrorism, extremism or corruption. But my other personal aim, is to make Pakistani themselves proud of their country and willing to visit it and promote 34

How do you really feel about the people of Pakistan (and you can be as honest as you like :))? I am an outspoken person - I think you can already guess it at this stage! - So I am honest when I say Pakistanis impressed me with their warmth hospitality and kindness. From the richest to the humblest, Pakistani have always been welcoming and smiling. Never during all my trips I felt scared or threatened – not even once. Also my parents were impressed, and even if some famous guidebooks, moved by politically correctness I guess, in every country you go they tell you are going to meet the best people on Earth, well when it comes to Pakistan I can say it has been the reality. Maybe I was just lucky. But I don’t think so.
Having lived in Europe most of your life, how different would you say Pakistan really is, compared to the common perception of our country in the Western world? Pakistan is generally perceived as a wasteland of terrorists. Period. Nothing is known about history and culture, K2 is known as being in Himalaya, the association with Pakistan is often not direct. And economic wise, only few "brave" industrialists and traders are already here, only a very small percentage of the Westerner business community. This might change suddenly (look at Cuba and Iran), with then everybody rushing in, incredibly changing their minds literally from day to another... Unfortunately most people need to be told how to think and what to do, before actually doing it themselves...Concerning Italy, we have an excellent Ambassador, and true lover of Pakistan, which is working hard to change the perception and proactively strengthening the relationships between our countries, with remarkable successes already accomplished. Would you say Pakistanis and Italians have anything in common? Yes! Pakistani are to me the Italians of Asia (along with Iranians perhaps). A great culture, very ancient history, a continuous influx of civilisations coming, settling, and going, a diversified territory (we have the Alps in the North), a variety of people and traditions (we have a marked North - South split). And, without falling too much into stereotypes myself, outgoing and loud-speaking people as we are! I would have also said respect for the elderly people, and relevance for the family in general, but this is changing very quickly unfortunately (don't copy us!). So in a nutshell, a rich and long-dated culture and outgoing & warm people. Which is the most beautiful place you have visited in Pakistan and would recommend our locals for a "must see"? List is long, as your country offers so much. I cannot choose one. From Gandhara remains to snowy peaks, from the marble mosques of Lahore to the domes of the Katasraj temple, your country is amazing. And still much remains on my own “must see” list: Multan, Kashmir, the tropiclike sea in Baluchistan, etc. Tourism is an industry which Pakistan is still developing slowly. Having traveled so much in Pakistan, is there anything you would really wish to recommend towards the growth of this industry, which may perhaps have made your trips easier?
There is an obvious lack of general touristic infrastructure, from hotels to proper access roads and reliable flights (in the North), but personally it's part of the general fascination and feeling of remoteness, and adventure. Still not everybody is like me or has my age. A few ideas would include a proper high quality marketing campaign (starting with UK) to start changing a very negative perception. Then including the possibility to get tourist visas on arrival at the airports - that would make things much easier. PDTC hotels could be a great engine for tourism, but they need to be massively renovated. And more are needed (as far as I know there is none next to Takht-i-Bahi sanctuary and Katasraj temples). Let's not even forget that are very few
updated guides on Pakistan (think of Lonely Planet), so contacting them to write one, would help a lot. In case of negative response, invest in making one (but should be in line with Western quality). More important in financial terms, I would also say improve and upgrade planes and airports in Northern areas as now flight are still heavily affected by weather patterns - and that's not acceptable in 2016. Also because the alternative are extremely long journeys by car. If you could write one message about Pakistan to invite friends or just tourists living in the west, what would it be? Think with your own mind and don't believe what you are told. If not reading a proper book on Pakistan, just Google it or read the Wikipedia page. If you have a minimum of curiosity and interests, then you can't still stick to common opinion. And to Pakistanis? I would say the following: London or Dubai are ok, things work properly there, but your country has some many wonders and a history that these places can only imagine, and no matters how much effort and money they can put in, they will never be able to have. Visit your country. Because it's your country. And because it's beautiful. Then explore the world (if you can afford it, obviously) and bring back the best of it. But first comes Pakistan (…Pakistan Zindabad, right?). 2016

work like a boss
In honour of Father’s Day, we spoke to a few young, hardworking and extremely inspirational individuals about what their father taught them in the working world. In response, we received examples of their father’s influence and bits of fatherly wisdom. Here's what they shared:
3. What were you like as a daughter in your teen years? I’d like to believe I was the perfect model child during my teenage years (I’m sure my parents have a different story!) 4. Does your father have a nickname he likes to call you by? Oh! There are lots! I think I’ll save myself the embarrassement! 5. What makes him out of this world and one of a kind? I think just generally, he is such an outstanding human being that it translates into his role of being a very loving father and from the way he treats my mother (who is equally as amazing), ive learned what it truly means to love your spouse which is a blessing in our home. He works non stop to achieve his vision for the company yet no matter how exhausted or busy he gets, he always makes time for us. He is a very patient, humble and loving man and he goes out of his way to make sure all of us are always happy. We are three siblings and our personalities and career choices could not be more different, however, he has always encouraged us and made us believe we can achieve anything as long as we really strive for it. 1. How has your father inspired you in the choices you've made in your life? He taught me the essence of things forgotten in our society today; value relations and never compromise on integrity over any materialistic gain.

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT LEAD. DAUGHTER OF ABRAR HASAN, CEO OF NATIONAL FOODS LTD.
1. How has your father inspired you in the choices you've made in your life? He’s always been one of my role models and I’ve always aspired to be like him one day – strong in my morals and successful in my career. He has always wanted the best for me and has always told me that hard work and honesty matters the most as it builds character . I recently joined his company and before I started working he said the day he considers himself successful is the day I go further in life than he has. I think that has resonated with me the most and has pushed me to work hard for what I want to achieve and ultimately has impacted the choices I now make. 2. What do you value the most about your relationship with your father? I think at this point in time, we’ve reached that stage in our relationship where he is my father when he needs to be but my friend when I need him to be. We have a great relationship. There is a lot of love, respect and trust between us. 38

1. How has your father inspired you in the choices you've made in your life? His sincerity towards his work. 2. What do you value the most about your relationship with your father? The fact that he hasn't spoilt and pampered me too much.I feel that in a way has made me a sensible person. 3. What were you like as a daughter in your teen years? Very obedient! I never broke any house rules. 4. Does your father have a nickname he likes to call you by? To annoy me he sometimes calls me Ali Khan because of my tomboy habits INVESTMENTS DIRECTOR. DAUGHTER OF AYAZ KHAN KHATTAK, MANAGING DIRECTOR KHYBER GRACE GROUP
5. What makes him out of this world and one of a kind? I have yet to come across a person as humble and grounded as him.
1. How has your father inspired you in the choices you've made in your life? Abu has inspired and continues to inspire first and foremost through his example. underlying his various roles as an entrepreneur, family man, activist and philanthropist is the lesson that if you are honest, believe in yourself, and do not give up, there is nothing that you cannot achieve. 2. What do you value the most about your relationship with your father? That he has been a constant in our lives; a constant us brothers could rely on for anything, with whom we can discuss everything and who taught us impossible is nothing. All of this unconditionally. Now that's something. 3. What were you like as a son in your teen years? That you'd have to ask my father. 4. Does your father have a nickname he likes to call you by? Kukkar/Kukkri and puttar/puttri. He uses those for all of his children, grandchildren, nephews and nieces. That's a habit he picked up from his mamu Dr. Muhammad Anwar i believe though he may disagree. 5. What makes him out of this world and one of a kind? Wordly achievements often come at the expense of time shared with family/loved ones. No matter how busy abu was/is, he was/is always there for his children and now grandchildren.

primer
A mattifying primer will fight the scorching heat and will prevent your make up from melting to help it last longer on a typical hot summer day. Smashbox photo finish, makeup for ever skin equaliser and prime time by bare minerals are a few of my favourites.
go light weight Tinted creams, BB creams and breathable light-weight foundation would make your skin look smooth and even-toned without giving you a painted cakey feeling. Double wear tinted mosturiser by Estee Lauder, Smashbox camera ready BB cream and Rimmel BB cream.
set it up
Invest in a lightweight mineralized powder this summer to help give a matte/soft look and prevent the unwanted oil while making sure your makeup isn't going anywhere throughout the day! Mac Mineralised Skin Finish and NYX mineral finishing powder.
creams & gels
A cream or gel blush shall be used this summer so that they are absorbed well into the skin instead of adding a layer of powder. Tarte cheek stain, L'Oreal visible lift and make-up forever blush.
waterproof/sweatproof
Avoid the smudging ,melting and flaking by using a good waterproof mascara . Beat the heat by trying out these few that I've listed . Hypnose waterproof by LancĂ´me, cannonball by urban decay and ysl luxurious waterproof mascara.

Have you considered that what's going down on Monday may have nothing to do with you? Reflect on the size and style of another person's shoes. And then, on Tuesday and Wednesday, relax into the idea of your smallness in the world -- not as any comment on your influence, but just to enjoy a healthy and productive instance of modesty. Like most emotions, this will pass. Thursday and Friday you're feeling the polar opposite of modest: You are huge. You are Paul Bunyan. The world is a forest and you're going to chop it down. Saturday and Sunday see you acting equally ambitious.
The world is made up of the same shapes as always, but everything has been colored in with bright markers. Everything looks snazzier. For the subtlest reasons, your day-to-day life seems more exciting to you, and, on Tuesday and Wednesday, more dramatic. Dramatic turns to daunting on Thursday, and what daunts you is likely a financial question. Be conservative about the financial risks you take at the end of the week. Friday is a philosophical day, and the weekend has you feeling very connected to the earth, sure of yourself, enlightened. Sunday is a good personal day.
If you have siblings, they figure strongly into your life on Monday, or else it's a partner of some other kind whom you feel deeply connected to. You have a lot of energy at the beginning of the week, but it will burn off quickly. Don't commit to social plans on Tuesday or Wednesday, because you will likely end up canceling them. Thursday is a fine day for friends, but something one-on-one is better than dinner for a party of ten. An intense conversation on Friday and a confusing Sunday round out the week.
At the beginning of the week, the road you're driving on abruptly transitions from smooth pavement to jolting cobblestones. And you'll be aware of (and wary of) other cars more than ever before. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you'll see exit signs but will have no clue which off-ramp to take. By Thursday, you'll be resigned to the idea of getting lost, and you'll opt for an exit that takes you to a serene and comfortable place. A field of corn, perhaps? Your adventures this week are adventures of the imagination, and this weekend you might not feel like leaving the house much at all.

Who knows whether you're right, but everyone's agreeing with you at the start of the week. Your confidence is up, and confidence is attractive. Romance kicks things off on a fun note, but before you know it you're taking everything super seriously and digging deep. Follow your intuition -- that's the way to go deep in an honest way. Thursday and Friday are fiery and passionate. Romance, adventure, stuff like that. Lucky you! This weekend, rather than hunting for more fun, figure out who needs your help and offer it.
A magical object from the outside world captures your eye today, but is it worth the purchase? Or is this just a fleeting impulse? You'd like to splash out at the start of the week, but you want to do something meaningful. Tuesday and Wednesday, spend some time indulging an intellectual interest of yours (you're in for a trip to the library or, saving that, a couple hours of web surfing). Toward the end of the week, you snap out of it and show up for a family obligation. Good for you! You will be rewarded (with affection and creative inspiration) this weekend.
This time of year is crisp and beautiful, and on Monday you can't stop thinking about it. Sure, the holidays are frantic, but they also have a defined aesthetic that, in a strange way, can be comforting. Also, you're lucky in love right now. Midweek, you're wrapped up in thinking about material possessions -- maybe the looming holiday season, with its expectations of presents, is on your mind -- but Thursday and Friday return you to a sense of happy balance. When you express your feelings, people respond well. Nevertheless, it will be a weird weekend, and your head will be in the past.
Ideas are like tennis balls at the outset of the week. You and a couple comrades are tossing them back and forth, for fun, to see what comes of them. The ease of a luxurious afternoon game defines Monday, but Tuesday and Wednesday are highenergy and magnetic. You are radiant. The larger issues of the day -- current events, that is -- are on your mind on Thursday, and your thoughtfulness leads you into philosophical terrain. Philosophy figures strongly on Friday as well. This weekend, a couple of business matters occupy your mind and your calendar.

On Monday, whatever you would naturally do, out of habit, is to be avoided. Have lunch at that lunch place right next to the place you usually go. Or talk to that one person in the crowd who looks like they have the least in common with you. You will be surprised how well this pays off. Toward the middle of the week, your career is all you can think about, but on Thursday someone reminds you that the universe is humongous and full of opportunities. Spend Friday around friends, and welcome Saturday and Sunday at home, in a relaxed position, with a magazine in your hand.
It's nowhere near spring, but you're in a spring-cleaning mood at the start of the week. Your wardrobe, your bad habits -- everything is on the chopping block. The idea of change doesn't bother you at all. What bothers you, a little bit on Tuesday and even more so on Wednesday, is the sneaking suspicion that someone is taking you to the cleaners. Or at least, that they're getting more out of you than they deserve. Obviously you shouldn't stand for that. Pay attention, be aware and give others the benefit of the doubt at the end of the week -- but stick up for yourself.

The start of the week feels a bit like an episode of 'Law and Order' to you -- with you as the star. A legal matter figures into your day on Monday, and you undoubtedly have your adoring fans. But fans do not make a star happy, and in the ensuing days, you're trying to figure out why your life is going in certain directions. Just out of curiosity. It interests you, your life. Friendship is king on Thursday, and a compliment on Friday is going to lift your spirits even more. (It's true. You love to be adored. But who doesn't?) Over the weekend, show off your original mind and wit.
Here's a good analogy for Monday: If you were a video game character, suddenly you'd have the power to shoot fireballs. It's a terrific power to have, but you unfortunately have terrible aim. On Tuesday and Wednesday, spend some time honing your skills. Practice. Take your time. And don't proceed until you have a plan about where you're going. The end of the week is also about discipline (even things that seem impossible are possible, so long as you stick to your guns). This weekend, plans and projects go in your favor. Impress the pants off someone.
