HOW about a ‘Happy Pakistan’ postal stamp with a smiley or something similar? After all, we have beaten all our South Asian neighbours, as well as China, in the recent world happiness report.

This speaks of the resilience and spiritedness of Pakistanis who have remained contented despite decades of instability, trepidation and dire socio-economic conditions. The stamp would remind the world of brave and happy people who can remain stoic in any adversity.
