Tuberculosis has been curable for decades now, but multiple drug resistance (MDR-TB) often develops among those who cannot afford to continue proper treatment. Recently, the disease has emerged in an even more virulent form described by WHO in early 2006 as extensive drug resistant or XDR-TB.
The Global Plan to Stop TB 2006 - 2015 is […]
Mark Brawner has scanned a photograph of Walter Kaufmann from the book Man’s Lot and kindly shared it on this website.
Other updates include recent bookmarks (mostly related to image libraries and collections), and the bird guide and botany slideshows put together with the help of www.flickr.com. The special image links now appear on the ‘Bookmarks‘ […]
The suicide bomb attack in Peshawar last Saturday, the death of CCPO Malik Mohammad Saad, DSP Khan Raziq, other policemen and civilians on 27 January 2007 brings genuine grief to many of us. Malik Saad was known to be one of the best policemen in NWFP. Thinking of his wife and three young children makes […]
Pakistan, circa 1860s
These photographs have been kindly shared here by Malik Naveed Khan and Shiraz Khan. The exact dates and name(s) of the photographer(s) are unknown, and there is also some doubt as to the specific locations in some instances. Fortunately, what is most well-preserved is an accurate depiction of a certain age evoking […]
Ghani Khan Revisited
Thanks to the tremendous hospitality of Nasreen Wali Khan (niece of Ghani Khan), Bahram and Mashaal (grandsons of Ghani Khan), I made another visit to Ghani Khan’s home in Utmanzai, Charsadda with Dr. Aftab, Dr. Fuad, and my father. Dr. Fuad was nice enough to bring along his Nikon D-70S camera; he took […]

Taxila, 17 November 2006 - Saadullah Bashir
These photographs are from a cloudy afternoon visit to Taxila on 17 November 2006. Saad and I had been planning to go there since the past few months but kept delaying it owing to serious preoccupations such as a small measure of habitual sluggishness, and a great deal of […]
These photograhps were taken on a single day in a monsoon afternoon this year. Rain had subsided and there was work to do in the overly busy city center. In retrospect, it is strange to see such tranquility in the snapshots which were environmentally overwhelmed with a great deal […]
Here are a few photographs of the Badshahi Mosque in Lahore from the rooftop of Cuckoo’s Cafe. I had never imagined looking at it like this before. If the lighting leaves something to be desired, at least, it suggests a nicer way of illuminating such structures at night in the absence […]
The picture of the cat and kitten was captured outside a small Hindu temple in Saddar Bazaar, Rawalpindi. The necklace she wore and the comfort with which she treaded the threshold of her familiar domain made it clear that she was being looked after by the pandit’s family.
Some active creatures in a lazy afternoon at […]
I was telling a friend the other day how a rather plainly built single room dwelling with a small veranda could be made both aesthetically pleasing and very livable. I told him how I would never have a simple brickface on the outside plastered. The windows would have square panes and be painted ivory (#FFFFF0 […]
Toward the end of his life, Freud was asked by the BBC to provide a brief statement about his decades-long career in psychoanalysis… here, in English, he offers a succinct overview… The “Freud Conflict and Culture” web site said this:
“On December 7, 1938, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) came to Freud’s Maresfield Gardens home in […]

Katas, 18 September 2006 - Saadullah Bashir
Yesterday, I made a trip to Satghara-Katas (pronounced Kataas) with friends/photographers, Saadullah Bashir and Jim Stipe. Detailed and reliable information about the place is hard to come by, but I have transcribed below the brief outline provided by the Department of Archaeology, Punjab. If the account sounds clumsy, incredible, […]
