Excellent opportunity, you can at least tell the world what you are and what defines you as a nation.
Excellent opportunity,at lest you can tell the world who you are and what defines you.
Her unadulterated beauty and graceful silence speaks a language which the heart FEELS and makes all verbal communication superfluous! She is the best voice of the voiceless women!

Very good Faridi.You can be another Malala.Please work and work and go forward. You people are our future.
The great resident of Faisalabad are true role models for whole country. From working hard to paying utility bills honestly, they are proud representatives of this nation.
Speaking in front of UN is like "cast pearls before swine". So nothing important to appreciate..
