@Shah Let me be the first. What is with the western dresses? Pakistani clothing is among the most beautiful and colorful in the world. Why would anyone abandon that for these dresses and shamelessly copying the west? Perhaps copying is the easy way to go - even monkeys can do that.

Some elements in Pakistan have entered the Hidonistic stage, due to disparity in distribution of wealth. While millions live on less than $5 a day. There is a small, ultra-rich segment, which flaunts the wealth shamelessly, and don't know what else to do but to go crazy, experiment and push the boundries of decency and morality. And that, I am afraid,. thanks to out of control media in Pakistan, that influences millions, by broadcasting all these events and pecadilos of elitist mentality, that will lead to the moral decay of our society! I hope someone in the power base, the government of other institutions are paying attention.
