It has been our aim to provide a window into what Pakistan really is, Pictures speak a thousand words and by showcasing the diversity that is Pakistan we have been able to gather an audience from all over the world learning about our country, our people, our places and our heritage. <br />
<br />
Social Spaces are very effective because they are interactive and many people from Pakistan have effectively used Social Media to effectively portray Pakistan in much needed positive light. <br />

Hello Readers, <br />
Hope you are all doing well, I know its been a while since I have regularly updated this blog. The reason for that has been that I have moved cities and now do not have access to as many photo ops as I did while I was in Lahore. Over the Years Lahore Photo Blog has tried to depict the life of an average Pakistani City. Even though not regularly updated Lahore Photo Blog has been nominated for Best photo blog in Pakistan Blog Awards I would appreciate it if you could go and vote for the blog.

In some Shi'a societies, such as those in Bahrain, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Iraq, some male participants incorprate knives or razors swung upon chains into their matam. This practice is permissible by major Usooli Ayatollah such as Muhammad Shirazi and Sistani, however some major scholars such as Khameini have banned it in Iran temporarily, while others such as Fadlallah deem it permanently impermissible. In general however, the act is controversial."</p>Destitute Rebelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14706187924135646590noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272299508431869190.post-84863680830627578012009-12-25T16:13:00.002+05:002009-12-25T16:18:43.845+05:00Muharram Alam<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8pYn1Xdn4a-oajLMdvkWfYBdLfQ9EVuLvJQfk_CPrUhr5IFehsubJ2vkZHL59U0sHe4nUV-Fds74qQ5QL0or1Q-UKLW68j8Q27dIhWNGWDTydSXE-besqZx3SZVX9AuItPdZdbDt9gaM/s1600-h/DSCF2956.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px; display: block; height: 240px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5419130774187518386" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8pYn1Xdn4a-oajLMdvkWfYBdLfQ9EVuLvJQfk_CPrUhr5IFehsubJ2vkZHL59U0sHe4nUV-Fds74qQ5QL0or1Q-UKLW68j8Q27dIhWNGWDTydSXE-besqZx3SZVX9AuItPdZdbDt9gaM/s320/DSCF2956.JPG" border="0" /></a>Taken during a muharram procession in Lahore, an Al'am is of spiritual significance for the Twelver <span class="mw-redirect">Shia Muslims</span> in India, Pakistan and other areas.

Art and Music is highly appreciated by a majority of people in Pakistan, but sadly events like these even with high security are the targets by subversive elements of society who deem art as an evil anti islamic activity. This particular festival had a bombing in its last few days, fortunately no lives were lost but it was enough to discourage people from attending.Destitute Rebelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14706187924135646590noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4272299508431869190.post-23005729130454493962009-02-11T17:12:00.000+05:002009-02-11T17:12:00.453+05:00Hafiz Sahib<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRJvIFa9649joHVn7sCVMbXuhQcM423gNWdnV1c_iO6mQOuakBaww9-c6haBoXFZ3kLz3BUjd1lQbvokmFHvi_R4GGGkyZ5JHsyoA7GaLFl9VKV-R2onLCdftCoptW9H5KJynSxO8-9kk/s1600-h/DSCF1148.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRJvIFa9649joHVn7sCVMbXuhQcM423gNWdnV1c_iO6mQOuakBaww9-c6haBoXFZ3kLz3BUjd1lQbvokmFHvi_R4GGGkyZ5JHsyoA7GaLFl9VKV-R2onLCdftCoptW9H5KJynSxO8-9kk/s320/DSCF1148.JPG" /></a></div>Since I started Lahore Daily I have been showing buildings and sights from lahore but not showcasing people of the city, the main reason is that people are reluctant to be photographed.
