Everybody after looking these images and reading the action of the Indian Finance Minister Parnab Mukerjee's advice to Provincial Chief Ministers for action to control the prices of vegetables, would like to think that will our Finance Minister will be moved to have similar concern. Alas, Pakistani people should have such lawmakers who can feel similar concern of their electorates.

Seeing this picture, I felt as if I was in my home-town in U.P. I am an American
citizen and have been living for over 43 years, but I have not forgotten my home
town. We have plenty of fruits and vegetables here, but they do not taste as good
as the similar fruits and vegetables in India or Pakistan. So much so even the
eggs and poultry do not taste as good. But thanks God, they are available.
Pakistan and India are like twins. They can not survive without each other.
I wish there will be peace and harmony in the region so that people can visit
each other as they wish.
