About two weeks ago I got in to an intense argument with a few friends over dinner, the nature of the argument was the much-discussed current economic and political issues facing Pakistan.
it all started with me describing the last few years ruled by the army as ”disastrous” in all aspects. It was not surprising to [...]
As our president once again leave Pakistan to come back again, people of the country, millions over millions of them look gloomily and sulkily at these luxurious visits and the glossy lifestyles and then at the killer Ramadan, in which they lost life and dignity while fighting over sugar and flour and then hopelessly at [...]
Time and again we’re given the sugar-coated pill to swallow and pretend all’s well in Neverland! Every government action has an unintended reaction, or shall we call it inaction.
Media reports point out that fresh hike in the prices of POL products has added fuel to the already blazing fire of inflation in the holy month [...]
I am really ill at ease blogging about issues like war on terror, power shortage, sugar and flour crisis and the corruption of the current rulers. I dare to ask where is the governance, where is the vision of this government, whats the plan and where this government intends to take us, and what goals [...]

Opposition leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has made it a habit of scolding government bitterly at the start of every assembly session, and then he goes [...]

Daggers are drawn, cannibals are out there, hunting stage is set, altar is almost ready, vultures start flaping their heavy wings, and the hunted commences squealing along with his kittens. Well, as usual the Pakistani people are spectators and wonder as why that is needed and if that happens what will be the gain, and [...]
I have always been observing that our way to welcome thing is totally abnormal. We, most of the times, welcome guests in an unusual way, we welcome a new day with the lights gone, we welcome new government with the bundle of hopes(and they never come true), we welcome special days and events mostly in [...]
A eon couple traveling from a far area back to their nest land disembarked the journey due the night fall. They stopped in a thick jungle with no bird around. “It is wilderness around and I feel too alien and disappointed,” said the female eon. “I wish there had someone around and we could talk [...]
Misinformation, violence, media frenzy and angry mobs are not how democracy functions. In Pakistan the nascent democracy is already crippled and can be rolled back within an eye blink, so we have got to be extra careful.
