**Salams guys!

Firstly, Happy 62nd Pakistan Independance Day…Pakistan hazaar saal aur jiyay! Secondly, let’s take a minute and thank our ancestors for what they have left for us, we are truly nothing without our identity and nothing without what all those people have done for us, through the thick and thin Pakistan is still standing. Lastly, let’s hear your opinions about the following questions…let’s see how alike/different our thinking is. Just take 2-3 minutes of your time and give brief answers (detailed if you prefer) Shukriya!

Pakistan Zindabad! :jhanda:
