A country of 180 million plus people, so skeptical of a country, that influences their lives so immensely. If your guess is Pakistan and the US, you are right on the money. No one is denying that there is a basis of such feelings, based on a troubled past. However life never completely dwells in [...]
We must be in a Bermuda triangle or something. It is one hit after another. People call it reactionary media, but what else is media supposed to do. Report exactly what it gets to see.
The latest incident in Karachi, where the rangers killed an unarmed teenager, have caught the attention of everyone, for one and [...]
Mr. Sharif’s recent statement of implicating US in the PNS Mehran attack is a bit perplexing. Now PML N is supposedly the second largest political party of the nation. Not to mention, he is two time PM of this country. Who was once seen making a mad dash to New York to meet President Clinton, [...]
If one had any doubt, who is the real boss in the “Land of Pure”, it became abundantly clear by recent developments. The spin zones at our channels and electronic media are giving all kinds of ludicrous analysis. At the initial stages, came the denial, that OBL was not there at all. Its all a [...]
Qureshi Sahib is sounding more and more like some one with the “sour grapes” syndrome. Undoubtedly, as a Foreign Minister he had a considerable clout.

In our beleaguered nation, we are a divided lot, based on ethnic and linguistic lines. The usual bickering [...]
The city once known as “City of Lights”, has literally turned into a city of sheer darkness. This is not just another usual rant, that you get to read, here and there, but heartfelt and real.
The Karachi I grew up in was devoid of the linguistic and ethnic demarcation. It was 70’s, we were all [...]
So now that Mohali madness is said and done, where does all of this take us to. Perhaps some rational thinking and sound logic is what we badly need. Cricket like any sport is a combination of many athletic and strategic skills. The team that plays well, gets to win, no ifs and buts about [...]
No kidding. After years of bitter rivalry, and calling each other, all sorts of wild and bizzarre names, both Immy and Altaf Bhai have decided to become allies. What a happy ending, typical Bollywood movie style.
A few years back Immy Bhai went on his “London Yatra” and met with his legal team and made all [...]
