Talking to mountain is a unique experience, catering for wide-spectrum results with ‘release of tension/ purgation’ being the positive one. Though apparently a fool’s domain, the experience really works marvels if given a try in various circumstances and moods. However, the adventurers and enthusiasts are advised not to practice it at haunted mountains in their [...]
The very idea of revolution is an attraction in itself since man is instinctively never satisfied with what he is or what he has. Fight against tyranny, slavery, injustice, and corruption are the tested popular slogans to instigate masses for a rebellion, though the ills may either not be present actually or be far less [...]
Let us recall the vision of Allama Iqbal, serving a warning that fate of a nation would remain unchanged unless the people themselves secure it. A lot many examples of the thesis can be cited across the globe and in annals of history. However, a way forward may be found in a country where people [...]
Creating soft image is an instinctive impulse since we feel happy when eulogized with open arms acceptance. This psychological perception also creates the ignoble ‘fool-sycophant’ business, ever committed to promote ‘make and break’ euphoria.
As we have learnt, the noble do not require certification of their deeds since their contended conscience is more than sufficient for [...]
It is more than satisfying to see uphold of self-respect by a police officer to the extent that he simply resigned for true officership. Mr Tehseen Anwar Shah! Sir, any man of honour would have done the same as you did by just resigning as DG FIA, when ordered by CJP to work under your [...]
The call for Mohajir Sooba (province for immigrants) seems to be a mysterious epitome of the violent acts staged in my dear Karachi in the revisiting spate of vengeance (a broad term with various connotations).

On a fine morning at Islamabad, the newspapers of 9 June 2011 also served a ‘hope’ with a disclosure that there exists a cordial relationship of mutual respect between bench and [...]
Among many states, Pakistan presents a classic test case where democracy, bureaucracy, civil and military martial laws, besides an amalgam of the all were given a chance to deliver, but futile. Still, the dilemma is that none is aware of the irony of fate; and more frequently, we bring own downfall, both at individual and [...]
The daily ‘NEWS’ dated 14 April 2011, portrayed a report titled ‘ISI chief reaches Turkey, makes covert visit to France’. To make sure that the report does not miss readership, and is projected to the maximum, rather blown out of proportion, it was prominently placed on front page (as if we would have starved or [...]
It is extremely painful to watch, all helplessly, the wasteful, self-centered and counter-productive policies and ruthless drain on national exchequer. Amid the dilemma, the most adored police has once again taken the lead.
The 1 Apr 11 newspapers (as if playing April Fool to the nation) mentioned that Islamabad police had decided to upgrade the already [...]
