Minar-e-Pakistan hairdo for the win!

"Even women can celebrate August 14 as much as men do," says Lahore model.

Web Desk August 13, 2012

GUJRANWALA: Put up a flag on your car, paint your face green and roam around the city because it’s August 14. But this way of celebrating Pakistan’s independence is as clichéd as having pakoras in Iftari.

Lahore-based model Madhu decided to do something different to express her love for the country. She travelled all the way to Gujranwala to have her hair styled as one of the greatest national monuments – Minar-e-Pakistan.

Hair dresser Ali spent eight hours to make this unique hairstyle. He twisted, moussed and sprayed Madhu’s hair to create a Minar-e-Pakistan replica.

Madhu further decorated her hair with a star and a crescent, wrapped herself in a green flag and joined Independence Day celebrations with others.

The enthusiastic model said her reason for donning such an unusual hairstyle is to tell everyone that even women can celebrate August 14 as much as men do.

I was almost as impressed by that guy's killer moustache as I was by the model's hairdo.

On a serious note...Azadi Mubarak to my fellow Pakistanis - praying as ever for a strong future.

@ Awan whats the harm if a lady is expressing patriotism. If you have so much problems with Pakistan and Pakistanis you can buzz off by all means. PAKISTAN : LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT. Happy Independence to all Pakistanis. Strive hard to steer it out of turbulent waves. PAKISTAN ZINDAABAD

Awans | 12 years ago | Reply @Zafar: The above Anthem I shared was Approved by Jinnah and Why after the Death of Jinnah New Anthem was brought then??? . Also why the National Anthem was Changed from Urdu to Persian?? Why the founding father's approved Anthem was changed??. How it is impressive when even it is not even in your official language. It is in Persian to mark the former slavery of Persian empire imposed on this region. Until now I am not been able to understand all the wordings of the Pakistani national anthem.. Can you give me any example where dignified nations like Americans and Europeans have national Anthem in someone's else language. Can you expect that America will have its national Anthem in Spanish??. Just ask any School going child that do you understand the Pakistani National Anthem written in Persian and he will obviously say NO.. It is not about what sounds nice. It is all about that how we mauled our history in a perfect manner according to the needs of the nation who is in Inferiority complex of being Indian but pretending to be Arabs and Persians to live in fake dreams of glory.

@Awan. the present national anthem is way better than the earlier one you posted. the only qualification i can see from your point of view is that it was written by a hindu. Otherwise it would make for a good nursery rhyme, and not as impressive and expressive as the one written by Hafiz Jhallandri.

Awans | 12 years ago | Reply Fake Nationalism based on fake stories, fake anthems and nothing else. Someone on this independence day should tell these kids that the National Anthem you are singing was not approved by Jinnah. Quade Azam approved the National Anthem of One Hindu Punjabi Poet whose name was Jagganath and as soon as Quade Azam died the national Anthem was changed because it was written by a HIndu and soon after the death of Quade Azam fundamentalism started to roar. Just share this Speech of Jagganath and especially from 3:36 where he is saying that He dont wanted to leave Lahore but he was forced to leave and his Anthem is the first anthem written for Pakistan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TtMn5Kc0rg&feature=player_embedded#! And here is the First National Anthem of Pakistan Link which will never be shared with you written by a Hindu and approved by Jinnah, http://pakistaniat.com/images/Pakistan-First-Anthem-1.jpg http://pakistaniat.com/images/Pakistan-First-Anthem-2.jpg
