Dear Pakistanis,
 
Assalamu Alaikum!
 
This week YesPakistan Team has developed a new section titled "Wellness" (http://www.yespakistan.com/wellness/), featuring articles dealing with health, social, and fitness issues, such as, depression, violence, weight loss, self-esteem, nutrition, and more.
 
Mariana Baabar writes about the Afghani storytellers in the legendary Qissa-Kahani Bazaar of Peshawar, where hundreds of eager ears gather everyday to hear the latest from Afghanistan.
 
Anwar Ahmad, a columnist, discusses the impact of US's war against Afghanistan on Pak-India and Arab-Israeli relations.
 
Read about the enlightening experience of an American woman's day with Hijab in public.
 
In addition, Dr. Bader Zuberi, an Assistant Professor at Dow Medical College, Karachi, informs us on the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of Anthrax disease.
 
YesPakistan's most used service is our Event Calendar. Have you advertised your local community event in YesPakistan's "Events Calendar" @ http://www.yespakistan.com/cal/cal_month.asp lately? Utilize this easy-to-use calendar to inform others about your activities!

Please pass this newsletter on to others you know.

Thanks.
The YesPakistan team
