For the heart that bleeds ‘green’
EVERY year, as soon as the month of August begins, and the footpaths are encroached by vendors selling big and little Pakistan flags and so much more associated with Pakistan’s Independence Day, no one seems to mind the encroachments as everyone gets into the spirit of the occasion to shop for something or the other from them. The memorabilia available at these temporary little shops, which quickly wrap up after August 14, is much more than just flags and badges. There are a variety of green and white masks, different style caps and hats, hair and head bands, Alice bands, bandanna, clips, green and silver bangles, other jewellery, including green and white bead necklaces, wrist bands and so much more.
