Pakistan is just like a coin, and each coin has two sides. On the one side of Pakistan are large number of crimes, terrorist factions, honour killings and corruption. This side hardly defines what Pakistan and its population is all about.
The other side is about passionate, hardworking and successful men and women who do everything to make this country proud.
The media always displays a negative image of a country, especially Pakistani media. Pakistan is much more than just darkness, and people all over the world need to know how this transitioning period of our nation is producing gems from diverse backgrounds, working to promote a better image of their nation. While recently women have been power-housing it the past few months, it is now time to shed some light on the men of our country:
