Hey, ya'll this is Aniqa Mashkoor, a proud Pakistani <3

I have loved Pakistan from my heart since my childhood and I am a patriotic individual who wholly solely lives for her country. But before this, I have never penned down anything about this enormous lovely country. So a huge shoutout to @steemitblog and then Steemit Pakistan for arranging and providing us a platform through this contest to sit and think positively about all the goodness of our country.

Being Pakistani I have witnessed many things, not all of them have always given a pleasant vibe but some touched my heart. I am going to list down 3 reasons why I love my country.

1. The land of flavors and spices
2. Gigantic mountains and natural greenery calls you for travel
3. Enrich culture and family traditions spreading love everywhere

The land of flavors and spices:

---

Without any doubt, Pakistan is one of the topmost countries which is globally recognized and known for its flavors and spices. The food from different parts of this country has made its own identity in the heart of people. Being a foodie and Karachite I have eaten many different dishes from many different corners of the city. Besides this, I once got a chance to visit Lahore and Islamabad so I can surely say Pakistan is on the top list for producing tasty and spicy food.

Food from the street corner hawkers to the big restaurants, each has its own unique taste that no one can beat. I have traveled to different countries too but have never found the taste similar to my homeland. So for me, one of the reasons to love and feel proud is the yummiest cuisine in my country.

The name of some common traditional dishes is biryani, pulao, qorma, karahi, dalee, payee, and dal chawal. Besides the eatery, the beverages are another reason to fall for this country. Lassi, shakes, satto, ganne ka shrbat, natural limo pani and there is another huge list of drinks that make this Country stand ahead of others. I would recommend you all to try different eateries and food and I know you will also fall for them.

Gigantic mountains and natural greenery calls you for travel

Pakistan is popularly known for its natural beauty. The Northern part of this country covers a huge area and beautifies it with high peaks and vast greenery. No matter if you are looking for deserts or frozen rivers you can find everything in this country. We have a cold desert too.

We have places like Sawat, Kalam Kashmir, Neelam valleys, and lot of other places that add beauty to our country with their highest peaks, lush fresh valleys, flowing and freezing glaciers. All these places are a huge source for the advancement of tourism in our country. People from different parts f the globe come to Pakistan to explore them and conquer the peaks. And it's difficult to decide from a long list which route to choose and what to see.

Without any doubt, Pakistan is a wholesome country in this regard and we thank Allah for everything He has blessed this country with. If you are having a road trip then let me tell you, you are going to witness one of the most beautiful and lovely journeys of your life. So come here and just give Pakistan a try <3

Enrich culture and family traditions spreading love everywhere

---

Pakistani culture is so vast and there is a lot to talk about its culture. First of we have many different provinces and each of them represents a different culture. When we talk about culture then it has so many things not only about dress code but there comes different sports, cultural events, and other traditions.

Families and joint families are a symbol of love and respect in my country. We prefer to live with each other and stand with each other in both happiness and difficult time. We have the utmost respect for our elders and for us, our parents are the superior and head of the family. For us, family comes first. We tend to celebrate different occasions together.

Apart from traditional culture, when we land in the history of Pakistan its historical art and craft and cultural heritage have always made it prominent. The unique architecture of our historical buildings has added beauty to our cultural heritage.

Now let's talk about what are the three changes I would love to see in my country.

1. unemployment
2. Poor law and order and political disasters
3. Education for all

Though there are numerous problems that I want to change about Pakistan being at the career urge of my age for me these three are the topmost issues.

Unemployment:

---

I have recently graduated in 2021 and soon after my graduation, there was a marathon to find the right job. Being a telecommunications engineer I always wanted to pursue my career i my own field but to my utter disappointment there are not many employment options.

Every year thousands of students are getting graduate from different universities but there are no quality or suitable jobs in this country. Pakistan needs to improve in this sector a lot by setting up some good multinational industries that settle for no other thing except for quality education and skills.

Poor law and order and political disasters

---

To be very honest I am so pissed off with this country's poor law and order situation. Since I have gained my senses I have never seen Pakistan prospering in political affairs. In this country laws are not the same for everyone and this leads to serious mismanagement in the country. The increasing number of street crimes and terrorism in the country has made the situation worsen day by day.

Recently we have seen huge political chaos in the history of Pakistan, this has spread a very negative image of Pakistan across the globe. Pakistan has never been blessed in terms of good politicians being the national citizen of Pakistan it's a wish from my heart to see my country in safe hands, the hands that know how to rule the world with balance.

Education for all:

---

This is like a dream come true for me. The thing that I want to change the most is to make education the same and free for all. I believe that we as a nation have failed to do so. My heart literally cries when I see poor people roaming around here and there for the education of their children and those who belong to the lowest class can't even afford schools and their expenses.

We have talent in this country but we don't have people who know how to value it and utilize it for the betterment of the country. We have to understand that these kids are the future and future representatives of Pakistan and if can't do that we will stay behind in this modern era.

This was all from my side. I love Pakistan and I am a proud Pakistani. I'll always keep striving from my end to ring the positivity and prosperity in my country. And will try my best to reduce the factors I have mentioned above that I wish to change.

Beside this, all the people are welcome to come and explore these beauties of Pakistan either in terms of food or places
