Mian Sahib & I

If NYT is to be believed then Mian Nawaz Sharif has not paid his taxes for the past 3 years. Neither have I. Does that mean we're even? Well I would like to believe so but then the fact that he lives in mansion sprawling on 750 acres and I live in house just over 1 kanal, doesn't make us even, does it? Hmmm there's something wrong somewhere. Something's not adding up right!
O well!
Jevay jevay jevay Pakistan.....

Hallelujah

Bible says the meek shall inherit the earth. Guess what folks our very own meek Mian Nawaz Sharif has inherited the earth. Lord be praised! How? Well how else could you ever explain a former 2 time prime minister of Pakistan not paying his taxes for the past 3 years. Dahhhh.... well he's poor idiots. He makes no money and owns nothing which is taxable, yet he was PM twice.
Lord be praised again.....

Walking in the Rain

Mian Shahbaz Sharif walking in water pool turned streets of Lahore. What a joke! Is he their to clean up the mess or for photo op! If only the "intelligent brother" had banned the manufacturing and use of plastic bags, streets would have looked like streets and not tributaries of river Ravi.

Back to the Future

From ethnic cleansing in Punjab and Bangal in 1947 to recent genocide in Gujrat, simply nothing has changed in the this part of the world. With the same aggressor (Sikhs and Hindus' in Punjab in East and Muslims in the West)), and the same aggressed (Muslims in the East Punjab with Hindus' and Sikhs' in the West), we've simply refused to learn from history. The same landscape, same methods, same indifference by the authorities and the same and perhaps the worst of this madness; no hope of learning from our past for the sake of a better tomorrow.
The roots of Godhra, Gujrat, massacre however lie in the contents of Sacher Commission Report. Simply put, Muslims were butchered at will, however to date, I have yet to hear or read that someone was held responsible and as logic would demand was sentenced to death. Not one. We have refused to learn from our past.
In the light of the aforementioned, it is hard not to believe in the usefulness of the moth-eaten 2-Nation Theory.

Terror without Cause

In the backdrop of recent suicide attack at Data Sahib, I have come to the conclusion that Pakistani suicide bombers and their handlers are terrorist without a cause. Unlike the Tamil, Palestinian, Iraqi, and Afghani suicide bombers, often citing foreign occupation as the reason behind their suicidal attacks, Pakistani suicide bombers don't even have that as an excuse. They are loose canons, criminal thugs, if you will, perpetrating terror simply for the sake of terror.
