Local businesses

On my rcent trip to Pakistan i had my d6o with me. On the Grand Trunk road which goeas from Lahore to Islamabad through many cities in between ....i clicked many times on the way in the moving Car and was really impressed by the Quality ........ few below are the pics of daily routine.

This one was taken in Gujranwala a city which i found really crowded. Here the no Parking sign means you can start your business here....the authorities have almost failed to make people abide the law......because of these small illegal stalls the road shrunk to half of the size.....
This guy was selling old used jackets on a very busy road.....in Lahore...these used jackets comes in the form of aid from western countries for the poor......but they never make it up to poor thanx to the very corrupt administration.
This one was taken in Jhelum downtown to be precise. With no electricity this guy is selling Vegetables in light from Gas Lamp...you guys can see the tube light in the background....this picture actually tells where Pakistan is going....actually we are going backward from modern to old times bcoz of energy crisis.
Now enough on Pakistan Government....... below is a picture of a guy selling corn.....the corn is boiled and then burried in the salt and sand in the big basket you see on the Donkey Cart and is sold with special spices and lemon.....one of my favourites from Pakistan.
