@ghazi52 I challenge you to find pics of 'Ration Cards' from the early 1970s?!!! I do remember them!! Zulfi Bhutto's 'Nationalization' policies hit the Pakistani economy hard after he took power 1971/early 1972. He had the mandate for 'socialism' in Pakistan.

Anyway, Pakistan had food issues in the early 1970s. I distinctly remember having to walk to a neighborhood shop, carrying a 'Ration Card' to get some food. Flour? Bajra (Millet)? The slogan of 'Roti Kapra Makan' (Bread, Clothing, Housing) of Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (the PPP) was not only common in Pakistan. India, in the 70s, made a movie eerie similar to that called 'Roti, Kapra Makan'.

I might find our Ration card at home. I think it might be in my Father's office files some where I'll ask him

This bicycle was bought for Rs. 153 and in 1948, it still has a receipt and the bicycle.

You know PIA was a favourite airline of many celebrities in 1960s & 1970's.

Many of you may not known that Pakistan International Airlines has an enviable history of excellence. It was the first Asian airline to fly Super Constellation, Boeing 737 and Boeing 771, first Asian airline to fly jet aircraft (Boeing 707), first to show in-flight movies, first Asian airline to be certified by the American FAA and Europe’s CAA.
