I don't have time for metaphors, spit it out.

Hi,

This is a wonderful american expression---" sometime you are the ball---sometimes you are the bat---sometimes you are the fly---sometimes you are the swat "---.

You have enough time at your hand to think about it---.

Pakistan Railways obsession with English....they are basically operating like the the former North Western Railway which became Pakistan Railway in 1947. No respect for local language.

Raiwind Railway Station. Where is the Urdu and Punjabi? Why only in English? Is Raiwind in West Yorkshire or Lahore District?

Narowal Railway Station. No Urdu or Punjabi signs. Just English.

Yusuf Wala Railway Station...written in your baap ki zabaan English. No Urdu...no Punjabi. But they remember how to write proper Arabic.

Pathetic!

Sibi Junction....written in English because your fathers were English...no Urdu...no Balochi....but they remember to put Kalma in Arabic at the top....they respect every other language, except our own languages.

DEAD NATION. Shame on Pakistan Railways.

Great Example, Japan has all things done in their own language

a) Programming
b) Banking Machines
c) Software Application all done in their Languages
d) Signboards in country


There is no reason why Pakistan should not Prioritize Urdu as a Unified Language , in all Provinces and English as a Secondary Language
yh i agree i have watched many japan documentaries and their proffessors speak in full japanese except some english words here n there. plus they write in japanese too. they are proud ppl, they dont let no foreigners ride on them.
