Caught in Catastrophe

I am not heartless or empathetic nor am I saying that Pakistan Army isn’t doing enough for flood victims. It is a mega disaster of history.

But looking at this picture, made me think how one can catch a food bag thrown from such a height?
Chances are that bag will burst and float in the flood water, making it inedible for the people who are there waiting for it to arrive, but properly. Am sure there are better ways such as repellent technique etc.

At another point, they are doing more than their capacity. May be our government, keeping up with the tradition is only begging for aid but failing to provide sufficient survival aid to victims. Hence, Pakistan Army cannot do much but to manage within the available resources.

Long live Pakistan Army

 May GOD be with you and the flood victims !!

Sponsoring Suicide

If you have any intentions of committing suicide, let Pakistan sponsor you.

The whole country is hit by natural and un-natural disasters. First it was only Talibans and their jackets, which can blow you into pieces. In return, you family gets meager amount of compensation and that too after struggling through red tape policies.

But that’s old. The nation got used to it so much that hearing only 30-40 people died in a blast is a thankful situation. One may hear, “Chalo shukar karo buhat ziada log nahi maray” or “Abhi to dekho, hospital jakar kitne maren gay”. We Pakistanis have become immune to terrorism.

So, now if we don’t get killed in a blast, we have other sources. You may flying in a plane, anticipating the landing and guess what? You are murdered at Margalla Hills (Islamabad) leaving others never to look at the hills in a way they used to.
It’s ok if you don’t like being burned down like this. We have floods to offer as well.


Millions displaced and thousands killed by the floods in northern and southern Pakistan. There was a time when we were crying for water shortage and bad crops due to no rains. When it came, it came like cats and dogs. I prefer to call it bitchy rains.


You are also most welcome to Karachi or Quetta. Both are the hubs of ethnical clashes. There are various choices such as target killing, torched buses and cars.


If not by this, than by that but options are infinite. Choose at your ease.

Sissy Brothers

MPA Nighat Orakzai offers her duappata (veil) to Shahbaz Sharif after his statement for Taliban.



Speaking at a seminar on Sunday Shahbaz had said,

“Gen Musharraf planned a bloodbath of innocent Muslims at the behest of others only to prolong his rule, but we in the PML-N opposed his policies and rejected dictation from abroad and if the Taliban are also fighting for the same cause then they should not carry out acts of terror in Punjab (where the PML-N is ruling).”

The above statement came after Lahore rocked by Taliban attacks on March 12.

When the time calls for unity on all terms, Mian Shahbaz Sharif igniting people in the name of dictator and provincial difference.

According to SATP, in 2010, Pakistan had 90 bomb blasts incidents out of which only 5 were in Punjab. I think CM Punjab needs to be reminded that Pakistan is not only Punjab but has other provinces and territories as well, which needs security from Taliban. We cannot afford killings in any city, town, or village of Pakistan, let alone Punjab.
