Wanna Serve your country? Try This
Pakistan since its independence is still unstable, due to many reasons like terrorism, corruption, lack of patriotism, Poverty, lack of unity etc. we, the people of Pakistan especially young have to come forward to serve our country.
Many young people think that there is only one way to serve our country and that is to join any defence force, but that’s not true, there are many other ways by which you can play your role in serving Pakistan.
Let us take patriotism and poverty. Many poor people lack patriotism, and that may be because they don’t have time for it, I mean to say that they pass their whole time in earning some money to feed their family, so when do they show patriotism? And how can they serve the country? As W.C. Brann said, “No man can be a patriot on an empty stomach”. So our role in serving Pakistan is to provide them (poor) health, food, education and other old age security programs and then spread the awareness among them regarding our beloved country, make them feel proud being a Pakistani, tell them that our country is calling us, she needs us, and awake the sleeping patriotic in them.
We awaked few, they will awake more, and very soon our whole nation will be awaked and will come forward to defend Pakistan, to play their role in its development.

Build Parking Plazas!
Build parking plazas!
The roads in most commercial areas of our cities are constantly clogged as there is no adequate parking arrangement, and therefore cars are parked on the roads, blocking lanes and causing traffic jams. It is shocking that so far, no city government has come up with a serious, viable plan to solve this problem. One solution, which has been successfully employed in large cities across the world, is the construction of parking plazas at strategic commercial locations. The city government can either outsource their construction and maintenance, or build them itself. Parking spots would be equipped with digital metres, which would charge by the hour. Thus these plazas, while reducing the chaos on the roads, will end up generating a handsome amount for the city’s exchequer. One hopes that the city managers and planners in Pakistan are alive to this possibility, because we need these plazas urgently!
