Where is My Eidi ?

Suffocation in the shops, smell of heavy sweat, hot weather and extreme humidity are not the reason that people are finding it hard to head towards the markets in the first Eid of Summer after almost 36 years, rather it’s the security situation in the country, which has put the whole country in uncertainty and nobody is feeling safe outside dreading that any pervert suicide bomber could struck anywhere following his brainwashed senseless mind.

Another reason which is not any lesser than the threat of terrorism and which is more certain and palpable is the extreme price hike and the record poverty. The salaried class the lower middle, middle and lower classes have even stopped thinking about celebrating the Eid, and they would only go to the Eid congregations for prayers amidst tight security and uncertainty of terror threat, and would return home to start a day long of trying vainly to convince their children as why there are no clothes or food or Eidi this year for them.

While our leaders observe Eid in the land of maters and in the land of oil, and their children are vomiting after over eating, millions of Pakistani children will remain deprived of even their Eidi.

    I wish you show some of your ” Rung. meri khushion K sang ” for a change in near future. I am feared to see you as a habitual complainer if you continued this negative trend of thinking. We don’t live in a perfect world, and never did in history of man “Female” kind. We are blessed with million of things we must cherish, enjoy be happy about them as well and thank the giver and creator of this world and man-girlykind.
    Wish to see Rung with your sung
