War Mongering

Have you ever seen the footage of the people living under siege, of people living in war zones. Have you ever met the people who have fled war zones? Have you ever listened to the horrors of what they went through trying to flee those areas? Have you heard them telling you that their loved ones are left behind? Have you seen the dead bodies washed ashore trying to flee the war zones? Have you seen the pictures of crippled people who were bombed, attacked and were shelled?

War is never going to bring peace! Modern warfare is soo different from one to one combat! It is one missile doing soo much damage that we will not be able to fathom the result it will reap. Be it Afghanistan, Iraq or Syria, have we not learnt enough already to plunge our self in a mess that can not be cleared up even after decades!

Having said all that, I am of the opinion that we should not let these war mongers have their way. We should answer them in a way that they should never try do that again! And time is of prime importance. And wars are a very serious matter and should not be made fun of!

The Royal Visit

Oh my! From where should I start? There are soon many thoughts in my mind right now that I don’t think I’ll be able to organize them on paper (digital paper that is)!

Anyway, the whole affair, is given soo much attention, so much details that it makes one think if the whole thing is actually real? I mean how can one go out of his means and back on his words and everything that he stands for just because a royal person is coming. Maybe, it is all because money makes the world go round!

Anyway, when the royal plane entered the Pakistani airspace, the PAF’s F-16 fighter pilots gave it a royal protocol, I am sure that a country whose whole economy is drowned and is in jeopardy, could have afforded it. The whole of Capital was shut down, I am sure we are a nation that could have afforded it! The whole of Ex-PM house or a University( still don’t know what it really is) was refurbished, given a face lift, made fit for the Royal Prince. I wonder where that money came from?! The shahana protocol seems as if we are a very rich nation and would welcome all our guests like that but hey!money makes the world go round! We would sell our self and our self respect for money. The other details just leave the mind of a very stupid person like me bonkers. Sadgi and simplicity gone down the drain!

The most respected Prime Minister saved fifty bucks of the chauffeur by driving the car himself!

What’s In For Us…

The Prime Minister has gone back on his words of not taking loans soo many times that people are either mocking him or blindly supporting his way of doing things. I agree with the previous views of IK that no one would give you money because they like you. There are terms and conditions that make you their slaves when you ask for money.

The other day, IK’s advisor said that it is only because that the Prime Minister is an honest man that the world is coming in to invest in Pakistan. Like seriously ?! Are they that naive?? The colonists invested their interests not in the people who were loyal to their tribes, people or country but in those who were loyal to them. A lot of questions have been raised in the recent money and financial and business investments that are being done in Pakistan. Are they all for the benefit of Pakistan and local people? Only time will tell as CPEC has not yet done anything for the local people of the Makran Coast.

Recently, the information minister said that they will crack down any extremist propaganda on social media against the government. Does that mean that we are living under the dictatorial regime? Why is there such hush hush about the terms and conditions on which IMF and rest of the world’s bailout package for Pakistan??

I don’t know about the rest of you, but all this is very unsettling for me… There is always more to it than what seems and the facade may paint a rosy picture for us all but the molded interior will soon eat up its beauty.
