With the Coronavirus pandemic on the rise, nation celebrates Pakistan day with simplicity. Without a doubt the coronavirus outbreak has shaken the whole nation, spirits are generally low, however we think that we’re lucky that a day like today comes as a reminder of how working hard and standing shoulder to shoulder with each other, surpassing personal biases can lead to a better tomorrow. We today are a part of the reality that only existed as a dream 80 years ago, showing the power that lies in the human spirit, the resilience of a Pakistani soul.
