About two weeks ago I got in to an intense argument with a few friends over dinner, the nature of the argument was the much-discussed current economic and political issues facing Pakistan.
it all started with me describing the last few years ruled by the army as ”disastrous” in all aspects. It was not surprising to [...]
Both of the houses of the parliament are populated by those whose only ‘qualification’ is that they are elected by a constituency. Why they have been elected, and how they have been elected is just beside the point. There is rampant manipulation of the process of election be it direct or be it indirect: before [...]
As our president once again leave Pakistan to come back again, people of the country, millions over millions of them look gloomily and sulkily at these luxurious visits and the glossy lifestyles and then at the killer Ramadan, in which they lost life and dignity while fighting over sugar and flour and then hopelessly at [...]
Time and again we’re given the sugar-coated pill to swallow and pretend all’s well in Neverland! Every government action has an unintended reaction, or shall we call it inaction.
Media reports point out that fresh hike in the prices of POL products has added fuel to the already blazing fire of inflation in the holy month [...]

Daggers are drawn, cannibals are out there, hunting stage is set, altar is almost ready, vultures start flaping their heavy wings, and the hunted commences squealing along with his kittens. Well, as usual the Pakistani people are spectators and wonder as why that is needed and if that happens what will be the gain, and [...]
I have always been observing that our way to welcome thing is totally abnormal. We, most of the times, welcome guests in an unusual way, we welcome a new day with the lights gone, we welcome new government with the bundle of hopes(and they never come true), we welcome special days and events mostly in [...]
A pigeon couple traveling from a far area back to their nest land disembarked the journey due the night fall. They stopped in a thick jungle with no bird around. “It is wilderness around and I feel too alien and disappointed,” said the female pigeon. “I wish there had someone around and we could talk [...]
