Phenomenal Occurrences
Some occurrences are so phenomenal and mind boggling that we fail to extract a logical explanation to quench our thirsty curiosity. Most of the people do not even take notice of such incomprehensible episodes of life. However, I would like to mention here two types of happenings, which have a regular trail of repetition in my life since early childhood.
I started noticing at an early age that whenever I felt too much emotional inclination towards a person and I expressed my true sentiments, I lost him. It mostly happened on the same pattern. I have always been very selective in choosing friends and the ones that I picked had something exceptionally different from the common lot. We shared a lot with each other including private moments of solitude to exchange innocent words of heart and other little secrets like saving five paisas in a week from pocket money, having a chance of sneaking a quick look into father's wallet, thinking about using shaving razor but without a blade in it etc. etc.
Only God knows why but I mostly had one friend's company at a time. And there has always been a ferocious battle inside whether to tell others about that friendship or not. I mostly succumbed to the temptation of disclosing the truth only to be punished with a break-up without any apparent reason. And those break-up never reverted again. It occurred when I was only 6 and it occurs now when I'm 54. Is it not phenomenal?
The second most puzzling coincidence of my life is that whenever I visited or passed through a certain place frequently without any forethought, it just happened that either I soon got a job within the vicinity of that place or was forced by the conjured up circumstances to spend long hours of time there. A sort of compulsive binding pushed me towards that specific place or area for weeks and months onward without my conscious realization that circumstances were driving me to comply with their will. Such routines continued for certain duration and then everything came to a standstill as if nothing unusual had ever happened.

It's Hillary ... Hillary ... Hillary ... not Hallery Clinton, dumb foooools !
What the hell is the problem with Pakistani non-English electronic media?
Where on earth the newsreaders, reporters, talk-show hosts, most of the frequently appearing guests and commentators live in this age of information technology?
I have not seen a single creature of the above species pronouncing Hillary Clinton's name correctly during the last three days or so. Even those newsreaders whose Urdu pronounciation makes me a bit jealous pronounce it as Hal-ery.
What the producers, directores and writers of news scripts do in their free time beside taking sips of hot coffee and tea?
Then what's wrong with the newsreaders? Don't they have any common sense to check the spellings of the foreign noted celebrities before facing the camera?
Have they all gone mad or are they all damned dumb fools not ever to read the name of Ms. Hillary Clinton?
For God's sake be sensible and honest to your duties and responsibilities as newsreaders, reporters, talk-show hosts, and commentators.

OH MY GOSSSH ... WHAT A BREAK-THRU !
A News Item
“The meeting is a breakthrough as two major political parties expressed their will to work for the continuity of the democratic system,” Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Babar Awan told The News.''
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The two political party leaders (not national leaders) met 11th (or perhaps 12th) time to achieve what : this so called BREAK-THRU . . . sheer nonsense!
The miraculous breakthrough, in the simple words of naive Raja Zafar-ul-Haq was that N.R.O. was not mentioned even once during the 90 minute long meeting. Wow, what an outcome of 90 precious minutes of the valuable time of this pitiable nation's President and the patron-in-chief of a friendly (?) opposition.
So, it was a meeting not for negotiations to devise some strategy to get the country out of hot stormy waters but for repeating the same crap that we have been seeing in newspapers and on television channels time and again for the last more than a year.
And then there was dinner about which a delegate diner of PML (N) said that the best thing in the dinner was '' ROTI ''. Poor invitees !
Sharm tum ko magar nahi aati
UmeedeiN poochhti haiN wahshatoN ka raqs kub ho ga
zameeN par abb lahoo ki baarishoN ka raqs kub ho ga
sar-e-bazaar naachay ga koi majzoob-e-uriyaaN kub
abaaoN, pagRRiyoN aur wardiyoN ka raqs kub ho ga

HEY TALIBAN ! PAUSE AND PONDER.
Hey Taliban! If you have a strong conviction and faith in your cause, stop killing the innocent people and better fight against the internal oppressors who are the real culprits and devouring the roots of our Pakistan. The external oppressor will automatically run away to escape.
Killing innocent people and battling with Pak army means you are programmed by the ememies of Pakistan and planted here to make their dreams of harnessing our nuclear capabilities and putting a big full stop to further scientific development come true. If so, I hate you from the deepest core of my heart alongwith millions of other Pakistanis.
Now it is upto you to decide who you are sacrificing your lives for; Islam and Pakistan or the enemies of Pakistan and oppressors.
Your version of Islam is merely a fabricated ideology and wishful thinking. Should you be honest with God, the Prophet (peace be upon him) and with yourselves, break the shackles of myopia and self deception and realize the truth. The whole scenario would change and masses will salute even shadows of your existence.
Just pause and ponder, you hell-filler foooools !

PEOPLE ARE NOT SERIOUS !
In my humble opinion people of Pakistan are not honest to themselves and to Pakistan as well and their wishful thinking and dreaming about a revolutionary change in the country is only superficial. The proof is their emotional attachments with their political and religious parties respectively.
My question is who is responsible to bring the corrupt, selfish, coward and money/power hunger politicians back to power? It's people of Pakistan including the poor masses who always suffer the most.
Have you ever seen PPPP workers and loyalists (jiyalaas) to demonstrate against corruption, unjustifiable price-hike, social injustice and other social evils etc. in the tenure of their own government? Have workers and loyalists of PML (N) ever raised their voice against their own government? Never .... never. Why? Are they not among the sufferers, oppressed and suppressed? They do but they are blackmailed and bluffed by their own emotions and sentiments.
Under these circmustances and with this weakness of a national character, how can a revolutionary change be expected?
Some of my friends may not like it but I would say that we '' awaam '' are the only hindrance in the way to our own destiny.
Allah bless us with true wisdom, freedom of minds, realization of our rights and recognition of the real dirty faces of our disguised party leaderships . . . aameen !
