The jungles. The mere fact that tigers roam the city of Bombay at night sometimes is chilling.

Never heard this before. Is there any nearby forest in Mumbai?

No idea. It was Bombay or Delhi, don't really remember. Read about tigers roaming some major city in India at night a long time ago.

Nonetheless, not only that. The wildlife of India is very intriguing.

That's Borivali National park. And it was a leopard not a tiger. The park is being encroached on all sides by buildings and shanties so these run ins with wildlife do happen frequently:/

And so I was right. I didn't know that people were attacked but the mere fact that such a huge city can be so close to the wildlife is very intimidating.

I mean you live in Isloo which is a city inside a forest. I dont know how it is now but I visited around 10 years back and we would often find deers or wild boars crossing the street to go from one side of the woods to the next.

Islamabad was a beautiful city with a lot of trees, greenry and forests but because of mass deforestation, Isloo only shows a glimpse of the past. PMLN Govt. was even worse for the cause of Islamabad's beauty as they chopped down thousands and thousands of trees (continue to do so) to make useless buildings and roads.

I don't find anything fascinating about Pakistani Punjabi's or Sindhi's, whereas Pashtuns and Balochis are not in MSM, so I don't like or hate anything. Its just another country with good and bad people. Pashtuns and Sikhs have history and they are revered here.

Never knew there is a national park in Borivali, Mumbai. Thanks for sharing.

Actually music is the one thing where we have a clear leg up on India. Aek taraf Tajdar-e-haram, Afreen Afreen etc... Dosri taraf munni badnaam hoi, fevicol se chipka deh etc


I mean come on dude. Indian classical music was amazing with Rafi, Lata etc but now their music is just cringeworthy. Obviously you get a few hits in a year that make you sit up and take notice, but those are like needle in a haystack.

You are only comparing 'hindustani music' in both countries. That is barely half of India's musical tradition .The other half is far older and has an incredible lineup of stalwarts, unfortunately, any music outside of Hindi/urdu languages isn't subcontinental enough here it seems.

Disappointing to hear as the area around Islamabad has a lot of beauty, but deforestation is a worldwide problem that goes hand in hand with development. Are the roads and buildings really that useless? We have a similar dilemma in the UK, here it's the green belt which is under pressure, but I would have thought in Pakistan there would be a lot more brown belt areas which could be developed. It's probably the natural beauty and climate which is driving the development round Islamabad rather than any genuine need.

So if Indian's find Pak ladies to be stunning it means they must find their own ones to be so very average. Indeed, most Bollywood actresses look so old and terrible without make up. South Indian ladies can be very exotic and alluring though I find South American, Persian and Russian ones to be the prettiest. Pak Music and drama's are well ahead of Indian ones where as Bollywood is on a different level to Lollywood. Thing I like about India is how they influence the world through soft power. This is indeed a skill that we Pakistanis in particular can learn a lot from.
