All hail the Messi-ah on April 19, 2016If you are a sports lover, there are times amongst prevailing chaos when one thinks about things that bring one joy, about feelings that transcend the boundaries of the physical realm. They are things that are not tangible like valued possessions or loved ones, but which invigorate one’s being in no less a way, bringing […]
Freedom of loss on April 18, 2016Without wasting our time and effort to go into the worthless details of Eric Allen Bell (the director of the film), Nakoula Basseley Nakoula (the producer, who is a Coptic Christian immigrant from Egypt and and not a Jewish American) and the imbecile Terry Jones ( advertiser and supporter ), let us conclude something. That […]
Aalim offline on April 16, 2016In the last few days, I have been privy to a few heated debates among the social literates regarding Quaid’s sect (him being a Sunni or Shia) as well as a recent research where half of Pakistani population considers Shias as heretics. Firstly, it really makes me wonder why does it matter if he were […]
Despicable we I on April 15, 2016Pakistan is a country comprising of a few short of 190 million simpletons. Every five years, the politicians suddenly remember us, if in case the esteemed defenders of the nation are gracious enough not to intrude and overturn the apple cart their way and throw remnants to the blue-eyed some. Come election time and they […]
Catch-44 II on April 14, 2016Senator Iqbal Haider of the ruling Pakistan People’s Party and Sarvat Ejaz Qadri of Sunni Tehreek openly accused the Pakistani state of massacring Shiites and Barelvi Sunnis, especially in Karachi and the Gilgit-Baltistan area. Two weeks ago, 22 Shiite Muslims were brutally murdered by the same elements in Babusar while they were travelling in buses […]
Catch-44 I on April 14, 2016Pakistan’s 65-year history of missed opportunities seized by other rapidly developing nations like Korea, Turkey, etc, tainted by military coups, political infighting and a form of crony capitalism that has stifled its economy were enough of the destablisers, and when it seemed like it could not go any worse, the cat dragged in the leviathan […]
Excuse me, Mr Khan II on November 12, 2013You say: “Suicide bombs are a reaction of the collateral damage caused by drone attacks.” You still do not have concrete figures regarding collateral damage from drone attacks, yet you continue to emphasise that suicide attacks are a result of them. If this logic holds true than a heavy number of suicide bombers should emerge […]
Excuse me, Mr Khan I on November 11, 2013Dear Mr Khan, You stated on numerous television channels that once your mind is made up, you never change your opinion. You even stated that others are confused on the Taliban issue while you have been steadfast and absolutely clear about the rightfulness of your opinion for the last nine years. While you are absolutely […]
The Khan delusion on October 6, 2013Dear Pakistan, it brings me immense pleasure to finally see that all political parties have bowed to the narrative that I had been presenting forth since I came to understand the conspiracy behind the Taliban issue and its importance vis-à-vis the future of Pakistan. With a heavy heart I must state that had the political […]
Tsunami interrupted on June 16, 2013On March19, 2013, Fauzia Kasuri returned to Pakistan from an unquestionably triumphant yet exhausting four-week fundraising tour, which covered nearly 20 cities in the UK, US and Canada. Having easily exceeded the target of $ 1,000,000 set by the Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Imran Khan, she disembarked in Islamabad, and instead of going home […]
