I wish the government would pay attention to Lahore Fort and Shalimar Gardens and other historical sites.

If you add insecurity and anger to it then we have a society that is what Pakistan is today. There is no sensitivity or pride in our culture present or past.

I've always wondered what's the point of having architecture as a subject in our colleges & universities when we see so little of their input in the workings of the Ministry of Culture & Heritage.... the state of our historical buildings is a sorry reflection of our aesthetics as well as of our sense of pride in our heritage!
