65 pictures that perfectly capture the daily life of ordinary Pakistanis
Pakistan is a fusion of colorful valleys, rugged mountains, hard-working people, old traditions, and rich cultural diversity. Media, news channels, newspapers are inundated with images and videos showing the absolute worst or best about Pakistan. Every day one picks up a newspaper, one gets to read reports on blasts, murder, suicide, rapes, violence and aggression. Thanks to the media, when one thinks about Pakistan, certain images of Pakistan come to the mind of people living in other countries. The extremes are covered, and we don’t realize that every day, life takes place in Pakistan too.
Despite all the odds, ordinary Pakistanis still get out of their houses every day and enjoy their lives. Children still go to school, boys still play cricket in the evenings. A man is still late for work and a woman is running after her kids. A rickshaw driver still waits for the passenger and a fruit vendor is still busy getting rid of flies from the fruit.

Pakistan has load-shedding, crime, pollution and what not? But, despite all these problems, ordinary Pakistanis still carry on with their lives. Ordinary Pakistanis wake up daily like others do, they eat, go to work or college, meet friends, criticize the government and live normal lives.
