Junior High School Students inside the Lahore Fort


These boys from a neighboring school near Lahore Fort helped me go to Jahanir's Maqbara in Shahdara, the year was 2009.

Very sweet and extremely helpful!

They told me that they are at a stage in life where they need guidance and that's something there teachers hesitate to talk about! Only one of the boys had a computer and internet facility. I sent this photo to the guy on extreme right but I never heard from him, the email he gave me was his sisters' - which isn't an issue but anyways!

Thanks you all for extending help and sharing your thoughts and a quick chit, chat!

There uniform is different from uniforms in Islamabad - what we lack in Pakistan is uniformity. :-)

ORANGES AS TRASH IN PAKISTAN

Winters  are saying goodbye.
After many years they  were considered harsh this  year.  just like the good old days. Fruits  are plenty  and they are dirt cheap! Rich and poor enjoy them alike, the  image above tells all!

튀김 (Ttuikim) Drizzled with Tteokpoki Sauce (Halal Korean Snacks)


.....This dish called Ttuikim is very similar to Pakistani dish "Pakoras"  which is a combination of pan-fried vegetables or squid dipped in flour batter as seen in the picture below.It is a halal dish found in every nook and corner of Korea, mostly being sold at the make-shift carts/stalls or by a chain of restaurants called JAWS.

One Ttukim is 500 won and 5 are enough for one serving costing 2500 won or 2.3USD - just 2$.

HALAL BURGERS & PIZZA (ITAEWON & DONGDAEMUN))

We are lucky as a Muslim community to have it's first HALAL Fast Food restaurant in Itaewon, near the mosque. It is actually located across from the main gate of Bokwang-dong Primary School...which nobody can miss out if they visit Seoul's only mosque - also known as Muslim Center or Islam Sawon (이스람사원).

The Halal Burger &  Pizza (P&B) shop is run by one of the twin brothers whose family hails from Iran, Turkey and Turkmenistan. The other twin runs the similar business with the name "Pizza Plus+"in Dongdaemun near exit no:5 - selling halal burgers and pizzas for past couple of years, serving Muslim tourists in particular.

Whether thin and crispy or deep-pan - what do you think makes the perfect pizza? For that go to this very clean and modest restaurant and check it out for yourself!

Prices are unbeatable ( 5USD or 5000 won only - cheaper than even 'Pizza School Chain' and quality is good for the price it costs. There are more vegetabes and olives alongwith cheese than you will get for the same price at other places.

I have tried their vegetable and chicken pizzas but have yet to try their burgers though. They have a long list of burger varities...

If you are in Itaewon area, check out this place for sure and if you are a student, simply don't miss it out!

How to get there:

Take exit 3 of the Itaewon Station and go straight until you reach the traffic signals. Follow the directions for reaching the mosque but instead of turning left on the road where the mosque is located, just go straight down the road and after a 3 minutes walk , you will reach the main gate/entrance of the school. Across from it is the P&B Halal Burgers and PIzza!

MUST Check it out!
