Pakistan's love affair with FOUNTAINS- Pictorials ONLY

Muslims throughout the world and Pakistanis in particular LOVE Fountains, so its deserving to have a dedicated thread to showcase the history and variety of 'fountains' in Pakistan.

Fountains serve many purposes in urban, rural and educational settings. Intellectuals, love birds, families and broken-hearts are all pulled towards them. They also could make commuters relax a bit when witnessed on roundabouts etc.

So here is a tribute to FOUNTAINS!

Please do contribut to it.

The escalating persecution of Pakistan's minorities is reminiscent of a poem by German theologian, Martin Neimoller.
"First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak because I wasn't a Catholic.
Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me."

We need to learn from past, and we need to do it real fast, before its too late.

Yeah! I myself always loved fountains. I always wanted to paly in this one, near Faisal Masjid in Islamabad. But I never got the chance. I guess it wasn't allowed. But I always loved passing besides it in our car.

Nice intro Pakia!
