Living!


Sometimes playing safe no longer remains the option. Sometimes it is but living on the edge. If one is not accustomed to it, this can be scary. If someone claims it isn’t, he or she is in a state of denial. This fear, however, can very easily be transformed into self-exploration adventure expedition, if confronted head-on.

I see it as leaving the warmth and comfort of a home and camping in the woods for the first time among scariest of the predators, darkness and fear playing at the max. You are always on alert, your defense mechanism triggers itself against the predators, listening to the faintest of sounds and reacting to the smallest of motions. Your sight sees nothing but darkness in the beginning, even when eyes get used to darkness, the visibility remains limited. But when sight partners with fear, it looks beyond limits, exploring further and deeper, analyzing everything and everyone that is or potentially can be a threat or an oppertunity and that is when one learns how does it feel living on an edge.....and the adventure begins!

Osama Bin Laden and Pakistani Security & Intelligence Agencies

Waking up on morning of May 2nd only to learn that we will have to face utter embarrassment and shame for years and years to come as a nation.

We are being mocked around the world for our categorical denial that Osama was not in Pakistan, yet to find out that he was living for years right under the nose of Pakistan Army's biggest and premium training facility. What a shame. ISI stands to the day the most powerful Intelligence Agency in the world, yet they were sleeping when it happened. Where do we stand today after a loss of 30000 lives on American war on terror, our economy is in teeters, our people and suffering and yet we are being cursed today? It’s just because of

Change 2013

Being a Pakistani, i should have been sure by now who to support in Election 2013 as the voting is hours away. However, i have my reasons to be undecided yet. I am all confused. No one seems to be with clean hands. The only one who has not been tried yet is IK and seems a reasonable choice in this confusion, however, his so called revolution and promises, by far, sound unrealistic and need only miracles for them to happen. 90 days for elimination of corruption, sounds very unlikely, given very deep roots of corruption and wrong doings in societal setup of Pakistan. I am also very much vary of the social media campaign of PTI, i am not sure if the most of the admins of all those Facebook pages and twiteers' supporting PTI are friends or foes. To me whatever is being said and depicted on social media reflects the very nature and kind of the followers PTI have and i must say, to me, it is, by far, not impressive, instead, it simply drives me away from the party it represent.  They say
