“Dedicated to the people of Burma in their hour of need…………………but stands there, the government and its obstacles “!!!
Hidden in its pain and in its awake,
Humans of no relation to me,
Different their faces and features
Different their customs and language
Only in common, the humanity
More than enough to last and bind
The distant strangers, as of […]

Confrontation is Imminent»By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman
Pakistan People’s Party’s excuse to not to restore the deposed judges at once with the mere resolution is that it would invoke the present PCO Supreme Court judges and in reality President Musharraf to have a direct showdown with the parliament.
Timidity in front of diminishing dictator means giving him new life, and that is why […]

If Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz leaves the coalition and withdraws from taking active part in the affairs with the PPP, over the issue of judges, then all the political points will be scored by PML-N, and if PPP would remain in the government then it would have to remain there as the PML-Q incarnated.
Becoming another […]

These blank sheets of paper
Often ask, often wonder
As I stare in dispersion
Invites me they to begin
An empty fine existence
Into lands – unknown!
Arrival of ink with thought
There stands me,
To witness, its story
Of paper and words, in fusion
To see its pain, to see its face
Moments of acceptance
As we all fall, as we all rise
From these podiums of […]
