Red roses, balloons, and stuffed toys have become a symbol of defiance in Pakistan. The bans against Valentine’s Day celebration cause unwarranted turmoil.
For all their colonial underpinnings, postcards from Hyderabad also inadvertently preserve a trace of local memory: a glimpse of a street, a face, a forgotten name.
Indian toymakers are now exploring new markets, but they want govt to negotiate a trade deal with US soon, introduce incentives and subsidies to make the industry more competitive.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.

Ours is a hidebound, traditionalist society mired not so much in physical backwardness as in mental backwardness. Only a sick society living in the past would indulge in the kind of extended Sharia debates which seem to be one of our regular pastimes. Ayaz Amir, 14/2/14 The News.
A man offering A rose to someone whom he loves, is such a beautiful sight! I don’t understand with what logic these self proclaimed “Thekedars” object to these beautiful human feeling. Most surprisingly never herd of them Objecting to people openly defecating on road side. Strange are these religious biogots.
I think Valentine’s day poses to be of great danger for the religious fanatics. The Fringes go bonkers when this day arrives be in India or Pakistan. In public you can spit, litter, pee, quarrel, shoot, throw acid, cat call, molest but no, the only thing that needs to condemned is couples, people in general celebrating love.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Let love take over.
Surprise, both the Indian and Pakistani right-wings agree on something!!!
