This video clip just made me cry. The Queen visited my west Pakistan and then east Pakistan. It made me nostalgic for the old days of a united Pakistan. I saw again President Ayub Khan and Amir Muhammed Khan of Kalabag. We used to joke among our friends about his utterings. He said in one public meeting, "Qanun Kya hai? Qanoon Hamara Mocho ka Tau Par Hai. Ham Jo bolega wohi Qanun Hai". We enjoyed acting like him.

Then I saw General Azam Khan, the Governor of east Pakistan. He was sooo popular here that finally Ayub Khan sacked him fearing a revolt. He was a very strict disciplinarian, but also very humane in nature. This is why people here loved him.

No more we will interact with all those tall-bodied Punjabis and Pathans. That chapter ended in 1971.
