- UN To Appoint Puppet Leader in Syria, Approved by USA On the 4th February 2012, the most consistently unsuccessful peace keeping organization – the United Nations – will vote as to the removal of the Syrian leader Bashar al Assad and replacement with a USA approved puppet for furthering America severely flawed goals and foreign policy objectives. Possibly the only member country with a spine [...]

The off-white lined paper of my favorite Moleskine just somehow pushes creativity [...]
- Maya Khan and the Size of My Bermuda ShortsPakistani Blog... The streets of Pakistan abound with informal, but highly effective moral policing, enforced by a snide comment here, a leery look there. And to those who think it applies only to women (well, it does mostly), think again. The amount of times I was told not to wear shorts! Not just any teeny tiny chaddi, but good ol' respectable Bermuda shorts. And not only in some middle or lower income group area, but smack middle outside one of the most elite, posh schools of Karachi.
If there's a perfect example of the genre 'truly perverted comedy', this video is it. One can only watch and cringe with shame as this huge mob went about administering un-asked for justice to whichever hapless victim...

- Time for a Free, Secular PakistanPakistani Bloggers Guest... I am not against religion, what I am against is, is the use of religion to exploit the masses.
Whether sacrificing humans (war prisoners) in an Aztec Temple, bringing down the walls of Jericho by the ancient Jews, murder of hundreds of thousands of women on suspicion of being witches by the Christian ecclesiastics, or using suicide bombers to target people on the streets in the name of Allah, the most beneficent and the most merciful, religion has always been exploited.
The common people have always been exploited and led to 'believe' that their faith alone is the right one. Who to believe and who not to believe, that's a question that ultimately rests in the hands of an...

- Peoples Party's Suicide MartyrdomPakistani Bloggers Guest... Just like suicide-bombers are losers in real life who have no future and nothing of value to give to the society, in the same way the current PPP government has given nothing of value to the Pakistani nation.
It seems that the government knows that its turn for looting the nation's assets is over, that is why it has come up with an ostensibly brilliant (and time worn) strategy. Become a political martyr. However, just like the suicide bombers their martyrdom will after all be called - a suicide.
Looking from a bird's eye view, it seems that the PPP is on a suicidal mission to political oblivion. The action of the PPP government certainly bears all the hallmarks of a suicide...

- Lies and Legacy of Zardari & GilaniPakistani Bloggers... It is the general belief amongst the people of Pakistan that Asif Ali Zardari is a corrupt politician whose rise to Presidential power has witnessed the ascent of corruption to new heights.
Long after he is swept from power people will remember him as the worst thing that happened to Pakistan, his administration will forever be marked in history as the most corrupt, the most inept, the most uncaring and the one that destroyed Pakistan's infrastructure and plunged Pakistan into the dark ages with black outs closing factories.
Having experienced the arrogance and vagaries of military dictatorships; Pakistanis tolerated this democratically elected government while praying for a...

- Why I Wanted to Leave PakistanPakistani Bloggers Guest Posts The main reason why I always wanted to leave Pakistan was that I didn't like the way daily life moved. In Fact, I was trying to find excuses to speak bad things. I was a famous unpatriotic person among my friends. I used to get annoyed by the honking bikes and polluted traffic.
I remember clearly that I never thought for a single moment to improve things, at least to keep a positive attitude and optimistic approach towards things. All I did was I ran away.
Today I realize that the efforts that I put and the money that I spent in order to get aboard and leave the country; If I could just spend a half of it over making something better, I would have been something. At least I...

- Let's Send a Pakistani to the Moon!Pakistani Bloggers Gue... Now go on laugh, of course I can't blame you, can I ?
How can a nation suffering from electricity and gas shortages, strikes, war, death and destruction, who doesn't (apparently) has money to build even a dam can ever EVER dare to hope to put a man in space let alone the moon.
It seems like disrespect, mocking if you like, to the sufferings of a nation consisting of 180 million souls, 63% of whom fall under the age of 25 and where the literacy rate hovers somewhere around 50% and whose population still believes that Neil Armstrong really did hear Azan on the moon despite the fact that sound needs air to travel - And there's no air on the moon!

- Imran Khan and the Messiah PoliticsPakistani Bloggers Gue... It's a tradition of humanity and not of just individual cultures, that people are always expecting a messiah to come and solve all their problems. When evil has spread everywhere and vice is holding sway, people think that the time is ripe for a messiah to come and solve all their problems.
The messiah factor has come into play repeatedly throughout various millennia. From early age, we are exposed to that messiah culture.
Remember Lion King? Simba is shown to be Messianic, as he and only he is entitled to rule and bring prosperity to Pride Rock. Remember Spider Man and Super Man? When the town police just take a doughnut break and let our super-heroes save the day (so much for ...

- Pakistan's Elitist Education SystemPakistani Bloggers Gue... The educational system of Pakistan is such that we don't even need 'waderas' and 'jageerdars' to impose class system in our country.
How may times you and I have witnessed those O level students shooting contemptuous looks at their Matric educated peers in student seminars and events. Due to this very discrimination and the imposition of educational division, these "low-level" students throng the overseas education consultants offices to get on an even scale with their elite educated peers. Needless to say, these foreign education consultants are raking in cash in these days.
The elitist educational system ensures that the class system in Pakistan remains intact. From grade 1...

- Joining the Rejuvenated PTI BandwagonPakistani Bloggers G... The recent joining of Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri has given the analysts much to think about on the political nature of this party. Just a couple of months ago Imran Khan was being labeled as "Taliban Khan" and "pro-Islamist" by the political pundits but taking even a cursory glance at the people who are joining PTI at the moment, these political "pundits" will be left scratching their heads.
"Only Musharraf remains to join PTI", read one comment on one respected news channel's website that had published the story about Khurshid Mehmood Kasuri joining PTI.
This rejuvenated PTI seems to be a conglomeration of people who are anything but radicals or rightists. In fact they seem to...

- Facebook Revolution in Pakistan?Pakistani Bloggers Guest ... According to SocialBakers.com the current number of Facebook users in Pakistan is more than 5 million (5887400 to be exact at the time of writing) and is still increasing. Only in the last 6 months, about 1210100 Pakistanis joined Facebook and many more have joined other social media sites, from blogs to forums.
Now here's an opportunity for the unheard of parties and individuals to come forward and share their ideas and thoughts, so that minds can be enriched and action plans be formulated. The success of PTI has given a wakeup call to the other so-called "mainstream" political parties of Pakistan but funnily enough, their social media activities and promotion efforts read like a bad...
