A food street is a pedestrianized area that has been designated for restaurants and cafes. Such areas are found in several major Pakistani cities. The food street is lined with food stalls, restaurants, and other food shops, and are typically pedestrianized. Food streets, and food parks, exist in several metropolitan cities in the country, and attending them has become a social norm, with people using them as both formal and informal meeting areas.
The first food street in Pakistan was Gawalmandi Food Street located in central part of Lahore.[This has been followed by Melody Food Street and the food street in Blue Area in Islamaba
In Islamabad, prior to the creation of Melody Food Street, restaurants were scattered around the city. Members of middle class society prefer them because they are less expensive than hotels or high-quality restaurants.

Gawalmandi food street
A taste of history
After partition, Gawalmandi was the first properly developed area outside of the walled city in Lahore. It had already become a residential community after 1911. Later on, it was the Gulberg of its time,” Shakeel explains.
According to Shakeel, the families who migrated to Lahore from Amritsar and other nearby cities settled in Gawalmandi. Among them were craftsmen and even some businessmen. A lack of employment opportunities for the newly-arrived families meant that some of the individuals started setting up small shops in front of their houses. The skillful craftsmen made a living through their trade while some of the individuals put up food stalls along the streets.

“The food stalls gradually mushroomed until each corner of the street was offering something unique. For instance, the Sikhs from Amritsar who settled in Gawalmandi introduced gram flour-coated fried fish. This was the famous ‘Sardar Fish’. The recipe has almost become an identity of Lahore now.”
Similarly, barbeque techniques and various types of falooda were introduced by the families whose ancestors were pehelwans. The Kashmiris brought with them Hareesa. The rich doodh-jalebi concoction also found fame in Gawalmandi and the diverse population each brought something unique, Shakeel says.
“Gradually, there came a time when Gawalmandi became associated with great food even though there were other businesses operating here. But it was the food here that stood it apart from the rest of the city. Nowadays, people have recipes written down in books and that’s how they make their food. But these were people who had taste in their hands, so to speak, from generation to generation.”
It was in 2000, when it was first suggested by some food aficionados and the local government to turn Gawalmandi into a proper food street which would it give an identity globally. So Shakeel, along with the authorities, went about convincing the community about the initiative.
“The people living here were hesitant first because they did not understand the concept. But gradually, all were in agreement and the historical structure around the street was preserved while the residential buildings were bought by the government from their owners. The photo studios and other shops were also turned into restaurants.”
The historical structures around Gawalmandi food street have been preserved.

It was after the American consul general visited the place that the Gawalmandi food street really took off, though.
“He was shocked to see such a diversity of food and the men, women and children all out in the street. He obviously had a very different view of Pakistan. After that diplomats from several embassies visited until the food street became a tourist hub.”
Anarkali food street
Internationally known for its rich food, Lahore food streets hosts thousands everyday with their traditional cuisine. The food street, Anarkali is a modernized version of a rich tradition of cafe life of Lahore. Anarkali is one of the oldest surviving markets in South Asia, which dates back to at least 200 years. The bazar derives its name from a nearby mausoleum of a courtesan girl who was punished by Mughal emperor, Akbar for having a love affair with his son, Salim who was later known as Emperor Jahangir. It is the oldest bazars of Lahore with great memories of great personalities, shops and buildings. The food street, Anarkali has served generations of students of nearby university and college.

A successful marriage is a natural commitment between two people who love, trust, respect, and understand each other, and who are also willing to put forth the effort to communicate and compromise in order to reach shared goals while they grow and change together and individually. However, these are only some of the key components that contribute. Marriage, Oh wow. They say a marriage is a blessing as well as having a child. It is definitely a milestone in life that comes with a lot of ups and downs. For me, I have been married to my husband a little over a year and we have been together a little over five years. Trust me when I say the road has not been easy but it is definitely worth the struggle and the hassle. I believe the keys to a successful marriage are love, trust, honestly and most important God. Love is a successful key to marriage because if you don’t love a person how can you spend a lifetime with them. What is love? Love is a force of nature. However much we may want to, we can not command, demand, or take away love, any more than we can command the moon and the stars and the wind and the rain to come and go according to our whims. We may have some limited ability to change the weather, but we do so at the risk of upsetting an ecological balance we don ‘t fully understand. You have to have Love in order to even begin a marriage. Love cares what becomes of you because love knows that we are all interconnected. Love is inherently compassionate and empathic. Love knows that the “other” is also oneself. This is the true nature of love and love itself can not be manipulated or restrained.
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person
Love honors the sovereignty of each soul. Love is its own law. What is not love? Love is not what the movies and hit songs tell us it is. Love doesn’t hurt. If it hurts it’s something else. Fear. Attachment. Idolatry. Addiction. Possessiveness. Nobody’s heart aches out of love. In pop culture, love gets conflated with desire all the time. From childhood we learn you can like something, or you can love it,
Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate
Suddenly, we worry more about the appraisal value of our home than the value of our relationship. We check the health of our retirement account far more often than the health of our marriage. Or we spend more time taking care of the car in the garage than the other person in our bed.At first, when we have nothing but each other, we focus intently on the important building blocks of a healthy and successful marriage. But as our relationship continues forward, “stuff” begins to accumulate and begins to distract us from the very essentials of what makes a good marriage.Things begin to accumulate in our homes and lives and soon demand our money, energy, and precious time. As a result, we have little left over for caring for the very elements of a happy marriage.Wise couples realize that a nice home, car, or retirement account may appear nice to have, but they do not make a successful marriage. They understand that there are far more important principles at play They have learned to invest their money, energy, and time into the 8 essentials of a healthy marriage:
Three most important thing for Good marriage
Know Yourself.
Know Trust.
Know Forgiveness
Some couples have to work harder than others, and in my experience couples who make time for each other struggle less than those who are so busy that they forget they were a couple before life’s demands took up all of their free time. For instance, my brother and his wife get along well and communicate with each other. They still make time to go out on dates without their two small children regularly. In contrast, my sister and her husband were just on the brink of divorce, because they rarely get out of the house together and don’t voice their personal needs to each other.
In general, marriage can be described as a commitment between a woman and a man, which is strongly connected with love, support, tolerance and harmony. Actually, creating a family means a new stage of social advancement. Marriage founds new relationships between males and females, what is thought to be the highest and the most important institution of our society.When it comes to marriage, the first thing we all think about is a long-lasting relationship. That’s really true. A marriage is one of the most important decision in everybody`s life. You choose to live your whole life with one person. When people decide to get married, they actually think and dream of having a lovely family, raising their children together and dedicating their life to each other. They promise to keep their love through the whole life. The circle of our existence is like that.
