One solution and an equally viable one is to eat less and spend less in Ramadan to avoid price hike. All those Pakoras, Samosas, Kachorees, Dates, drinks, Chats, Dahi Balas, Chicken, Beef, Mutton, Chutnees and other things could wait to go in our never-satisfied bellies. Why is it necessary to adorn the Iftar table [...]
When today, I gave myself a break from “yearning for justice” and went to buy flour, I got shocker my life, as despite of roaming about the whole locality and then half of the city, I was unable to find a single bag of flour.

Loa tay tay Loa tay tay [...]
Though the man has ran away from “Putli gullee”, and is nowhere to be seen when nation is reaching for their pistols after not finding his much touted bumper crop, we could beat the line by discussing was he really there to understand our economic woes, or any moron could boast about positive economic indexes [...]
18th February elections in Pakistan are somewhat different in the sense that they are not yet another Nora-Wrestling match between Nawaz Sharif and Benazir Bhutto. They are perhaps yet another dealt-with, pre-decided, Nora-Wrestling, but this time between new players for the new stakes.
