You got bad eyesight or somethin'?

Yes. At 56 it's not what it used to be so please cut the chase and get to the point.

It says VAGETABLES. No pun related to body parts intended.

May be it is time to consider bifocals?

It's a private enterprise (I assume). You can't blame people for trying to make money. If the person running it didn't, maybe their kids would be hungry too?

You mean this guy who's the owner of this place and supported by Sindh government, as is shown in the post bellow which he posted on his twitter is some poor bloke who cant feed his kids

Unless someone set up a restaurant with government funds in an area where people are dying hungry - i won't knock the owner. I don't know the first thing about him, so i could be wrong, for all i know it could well be set up with government funds or whatever. IDK - until i know, it's just a restarant which belongs to a guy.

No rubbish about hiding 'Pakistan' behind Desi, Apna, Asian or Indian.

I dont think they do that in Pakistan

Yes, but I wonder where the "vagetables" come from?

Dear Lord can you be more "annoyingly subtle"

VAGETABLES

illiteracy rates in Sindh are sky rocketing

 

[Pakistansdefender]

Great place. Too far south for me but if I was ever in Sindh I would love to try it. And as additional bonus I notice the cuisines are listed as Pakistani, Chinese etc. No rubbish about hiding 'Pakistan' behind Desi, Apna, Asian or Indian.

So they should.

Well it pained me to see this arid desert.
I can feel warm even in cold winters.
So easily it can be turned into a meadow or an oasis. But people don't have food to eat how would they think about trivial things as landscape and trees .

Deserts have a charm all their own. Economic development will follow the money brought in by tourist to such cafes and hotels, gradually. This is a good start.

Pakistan has a lot of It.
We are not big in size as US as can have vast wastelands.
Ofcourse with climate change and specially. Pakistan greatly effected by it , the waste lands which are not sandy desert (Pakistan has those sandy deserts too) can be turned into a vast jungle of trees by using human waste as manure and sweage water through drip irrigation. We have green trees that survive 55c and grow quickly.
They would result in more rain by changing and can change weather patterns.
Plus most of the smog coming from India can be filtered through these wilderness as mostly these deserts lie between pak and India.
It would also provide refuge for the birds that come from siberia every year.
The people in this village are always dying due to no Water. No. One can understand the importance of Green then those people .
We lack Vision

The first thing Pakistan lacks is not vision, but water. Trees are good, but they need water to thrive.

 

[Last starfighter]

No beef on the menu?

No cows in that. Hahahaha

No cows in that. Hahahaha

No seriously previous governments have destroyed beautiful pakistan.
Ruling families have made properties in London and dubai etc.
Neglected pakistan. But soon insha'Allah retribution is on its way

They do have enough water if they make enough dams.
After that we don't treat our sweage water and waste it totally.
That can be used for horticulture.
They are doing this in many countries

And how many billions - which Pakistan does not have - will it take to build all the needed dams and the water treatment plants, and even if there were the money available, how long would that take?

 

[Pakistansdefender]

Look I know it sounds very hypothetical..
But Pakistan is not utilizing its total water storage capacity.
Immediately so many large dams can be built that can for half a century solve Pakistan need for water.
About 50 to 60 billion dollars investment is needed.
Several dam such as bunji, diamer bhasha, and several others works are just ready and only need funding .
There is a huge money problem.
If we do have money and good planning experts., we can start them now and they would be ready in 4 years.
We are still making suki kinari and thakot dams with the investment of China.. They are big dams.
Dasu is another funded by World Bank, which is another big dam in the initial stage.
