India-Pakistran Border Ceremony

 From the title you might think that the India-Pakistan border might be a dangerous place, and perhaps sometimes it is.  However, every evening just before sunset, both countries' borders stage a super show when they close their borders.  Lots of strutting, horn blowing, cheering from the packed crowds, and overall just plain fun....why can't this happen in real life?    Here you see handsome two strutting Indian guards.

All borders should be so festive.

Oops the title does not appear on the screen...
I wish this example will lead to more understanding on both sides.

I guess the people who get to enjoy this pageant would be disappointed if they didn't close the borders every night. Love the helmets!

NOT QUITE AS BIG

 In 2014 I posted  THIS PHOTO  of the Genex Towers along with one other. In the meantime, the Brutalist-style  Genex Towers have been sold. ...
