Almost every blog in our sphere wrote about political turmoil and friction in Pakistan but one can find very few bloggers writing about effects of emergency on financial institutions of the country. This post by Qurratulain Akhter asserts the impact of emergency on the stock market. Though, the length of post is that significant but still it highlights this important aspect of emergency.

10. Mirza Ghalib and Allama Iqbal

This post (by Fahd at Chorangi) compares two of the great poets. Fahd had pointed out the basic difference between Mirza Ghalib and Allama Iqbal. He claims and argues with examples that Mirza Ghalib was a person who used to believe in obscurity and in contrast with Ghalib, Allama Iqbal has clear cut thinking. Though I can't find any reason of this comparison but even then it is a good sign that pure literature is finding place around in Pakistani blogsphere
