paki day

I have never seen a Pakistani Independence Day!!! Have you?

Reality- I saw it today in Chicago!!! There are too many things to experience, things I never thought i would be part of.

It is a big rally taking place........with floaters( the kind of things u see in the republic day parade in tv....the huge car like thigs with various motives). They have it al here and along procession. The road has been blocked specifically for the rally, notified for the last seven days.
While they shout "pakistan zindabad" and swirl their flag, everyone is a part of it. Indians who have come to see, localities who see it with strange surprise.....

I couldnt take a pic, that is what I missed. Wish I was out before with the camera.

Amazing is it not. And tomorrow with our independence day.....its a long days of events. Tomorow is the flag hoisting.......in downtown chicago, which I will be covering for my newspaper. The rest of the events will take place in the following days in Navy Pier and warren park. I am going it miss it, since am going back to oklahoma on 16.
