and Pakistanis inherit cataclysm and Presidency..though latter being more deplorable..

The last two weeks have been deadliest in the recent month with a plane crash costing 152 lives and crew, flood killing more than 1400 people and 2.5 million homeless and rescuers are struggling to reach more than 30,000 people still cut off by the floods, which are the worst in 80 years. Worse is the fear of outbreak of diarrhoea and cholera among the homeless while food is scarce and water supplies have been contaminated by the floods. The things had not fallen down when Karachi went mad killing more than 50 people after an MPA was killed on August 02, 2010.

So a country would expect its leadership especially government to set aside all task and take up humanitarian assistance and rescue/ rehabilitation work at priority.

Correction, its Pakistan! People of Pakistan inherit catastrophe and presidency with latter being more deplorable.

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari is continuing with his plan, to enjoy family's stately home in the French countryside and to visit Britain to make him understand war on terror and 'beg' despite outrageous remarks made by Prime Minister David Cameron in Bangalore, at a time when the country is struggling to cope with what is being described as its worst floods in 80 years.

Yes his presence in the country would not, in any way, be conducive to rescue and relief efforts. But in such circumstances isn't it common practise that heads of state or government, at least make symbolic gestures of solidarity by putting off pleasure trips. But oh yes, launching political career of Bilawal 'Bhutto' zardari is far more important than the lives of half of population of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and millions of displaced people. Besides, we have 'rich precedent' of axing life of millions of people and billions of Rs. from national enchequer to personal accounts in name of earth quake and internally displaced people.

The outburst of anger against such reckless and mind boggling heartless behavior has been overwhelming , be it online blogs,print media and electronic media. The question remain, who is listening? The governments with quacks like dasti, fozia wahab debating non-issue through senseless talk or the Prime minister Gilani who kept addressing public rallies in connection with a coming by-election despite the havoc in country?
Sad state of Affairs of Country and hearts.
Please spread the message of ways of helping the people affected by floods

Reaction to statement of Raisani in The News: Thank you, Raisani

Thank you, Raisani

It happened one bright sunny morning in the Land of the Pure that one fine gentleman, Mr Raisani of Balochistan, announced to the whole world that cared enough to listen: a degree is a degree, genuine or fake, it doesn’t matter. Armed with this information, my gardener, who is quite apt at the art of digging things, decided to go for a mid-career transition, and opened a dentist’s shop. I say shop because the word clinic is not in his lexical range. He is very happy, this gardener. He digs at people’s molars and slashes pieces of their tongues, and beams at a newly acquired piece of framed paper that adorns half of his clinic’s… errr... shop’s wall. It’s a fake degree, ladies and gentlemen, bought at the local meat shop. But what does it matter, a degree is a degree even if it is acquired from a butcher, we don’t care. Talking about this honourable Mr Butcher, he, as a side business, has opened up a fake-degree issuance bureau under the direct patronage of 144 or more members of parliament. Since he is very good at cutting guts and cleaning them inside out, he is thinking of getting a surgeon’s degree for himself. Would the respected Mr Raisani, who thinks a degree is a degree even if it is fake, allow this newly inducted member of the medical community to perform a surgery on his esteemed being? It needn’t be a gut surgery, a simple realigning of the reality-check hormones would do.I must say I am a bit resentful of Mr R who has taken so long to establish the worth of genuine degrees. I mean, why didn’t he say so when I was wasting the most precious years of my life writing assignments and reading obscure philosophies to get my genuine degrees? Why didn’t I just buy some fake ones? But it is never too late. Next time I go for a job and my employer tells me that I need a PhD in order to get a permanent job, I will simply invest in a fake degree. Can Dr Awan please guide me in this particular field? I would also request the HEC to please allocate a special fund for buying fake degrees so that the poor members of the academia, like me, could put decent food on their tables.All in all I am quite looking forward to the impact these golden words of wisdom might have on my students. As soon as the summer holidays are over and these students are back, I plan to spread this new mantra of prosperity among them. “Haven’t you heard?” I’d say, “A degree is a degree and it doesn’t have to be earned.” Imagine the relief; no designing courses, no sleepless nights reading books, no marking of papers, no keeping of records. In fact, no universities! Oh, here’s an idea: why don’t we just close these places of indulgence and turn them into gambling dens?I recommend a career change to all the people who work at universities. As far as I am concerned, I’ve already decided what I am going to do with my life. I am going to join the Defend-Zardari movement. It’s new, it’s happening, it doesn’t require an unblemished past, and above all you get great coverage on the media. The only thing I will have to do is change my name so that it begins with an F, and learn the art of bullheadedness in the face of intelligence. The perks are amazing. I will get free grooming, free face-lift, free wardrobe for Capital Talk, and yesss, a 10 per cent from the latest ‘Buy-the-lawyers fund’ every time I say the words democracy, danger, sacrifice and revenge… not to mention non-state actors, whatever the hell they are.

PAK Ministers diagnosed with viral Conceit disease!!

“Conceit is the weirdest disease in the world. It makes everyone sick except the one who has it.”

It is now confirmed that the present government of Pakistan and the higher ups (esp. Chief Minister gigit baltistan and elected representatives) have fallen victim to the disease known as 'Conceit'.

Symptoms: It is a contagious disease that spreads by eyeing for power, handshakes with people in power and ignoring people without power. The patient suffers from memory loss and self denial from his own statements, desires to listen to music of misstated self-praise, addicted to gaining attention through false statements at press conferences, loves to move around uselessly under brigade of protocol, steals resources from national en chequer due to physchological disorder and evades all duties assigned.

Moment of self respect:
I am genuinely proud to belong from Hunza. Not for the sake of some identity crisis but today the courageous people of hunza showed that they are different, utterly refusing to accept charity from conceit stricken politicians and ministers who loomed above in their helicopters like bats and then shamelessly announcing that there is nothing but their 'moral' support for devastated families and flood prone area.

This is the reward that the land of hunza gets for presenting the ownership of their land to Pakistan after fighting off off dogra, after sacrificing lives in 1965 and 1971 wars and their red sacrifice for Kargil (not to mention when the NLI soldiers were left alone upfront to fight while other brigade 'chickened out'). The land which generates gold and silver through tourism and fruits is not entitled to compensation because PM announces that there is economy faces financial crunch?? What about millions spend on SUV, protocol, helicopter safari rides and perquisites? I am disgusted to see how indecisive and incomprehensible the PM is to even think of coming to hunza to announce such an absurd statement.

All this was enough to boil the blood when the 'dethroned and self proclaimed' Rani of Hunza jumps in the scene like mowla-jutt to show support and launch a protest campaign, sitting in Islamabad. Also giving a hilarious statement calling for 'whatever' commission for inquiry!!

Just to remind that Hunza is not asking for charity (sick idea of Bait-ul-Maal chief of distributing rice biryani and equally attention seeking PM to inaugurate the 'daigh' by cutting a ribbon, so what is next a chicken inauguration ceremony). People need compensation, land for themselves and some infrastructure support. Hunza people can handle the rest!
