Election 2018 – My Point of View

My friends have been asking me lately that what is my take on outcome of #Election2018 #Pakistan. Some are wondering whose side I am on exactly. Well! To start with, let it be clear that I am for Pakistan. A Pakistan free of chaos and poverty and injustice and corruption. A politically aware Pakistan. Now that this is out of the way. What is my opinion on outcome of the election held in Pakistan in 2018?   I remember writing about General Elections in Pakistan in 2013 before the elections actually took place ( http://butthetruth.blogspot.com/2013/12/2013-review.html ) and predicted that #PML-N would emerge as winner and that they would be strongly challenged by #PTI.

In absolution, I want to finally sleep Hear me! Hear me! One last time. Muhammad Ali Monday July 18, 2016

Living In Bubbles

Living In Bubbles Most of us live in bubbles and bubbles are all but durable, vulnerable is the word synonym to bubbles. Prey mostly to external dynamics, bubbles can burst at any given moment.  People living in bubbles, I think, although as vulnerable as their dwellings are, they do not share same situations, feelings and emotions; rather have different and varied states. It all depends where the bubble is, floating in the air, high or low; resting on the ground and if on the ground; where on the ground and, most of all, how well aware people are where they are. It is an irony to me that people living in bubbles, floating high, think they are the fortunate ones. Well! Soaring high is a good thing, it always has been, however, these people tend to forget that such elevations are not realized through their own wings but mostly because of and subject to external dynamics. They live most part of their lives structuring their bubbles rather than growing their wings. To me it is not ju
