Why such incompetent and stupid leaders get elected

2009-06-21T02:14:59Z

Let me share with you my recent experience. Yesterday I went to meet my friend at his father’s pharmacy (medical store) located in old city area of Karachi (one might call it not so developed or a bit backward area). My friend was filling in for his father as cashier. Two more friends were also with me. We stayed there for more than an hour. Pharmacy’s salesmen were attending the customers. Less than 20-30% customers came up with prescriptions. Though prescription is mandatory by law but in Pakistan we get medicines from our area pharmacy just by calling up medicine’s name. Actually I want to share with you the manner and approach that how customers were asking for required medicines....

Safe and sound - Pakistan's nukes

2009-06-15T10:47:14Z

This is in reference to The News editorial of June 8 titled "Safe and sound". While I am appreciative of the broader position taken by you on the safety and security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons, on which there must be no doubt, western propaganda notwithstanding; there are at least two aspects that need to be seen in the correct perspective. Firstly, while your assertion that Pakistan has invested heavily in the security of its facilities and weapons is absolutely valid, your interpretation that the warheads are 'stored in a disassembled state in more than one location. No warhead is attached to a delivery system. No delivery system is located in the same facility as the...

UK immigration atrocities

2009-06-02T10:53:59Z

In WWII, refugees were sent back to die by the British government. Evidence of atrocities in Europe was ignored, and Tory Foreign Minister Anthony Eden is remembered for his remark that Britain had taken its quota and would take no more. His successor in the Labour government, Ernest Bevin, was hated by the Jews who fled. He refused the ship Exodus when it arrived on the shores of Palestine, and the refugees on board had to go back to Germany. Today it is doing the same, under Home Office Secretary Jacqui Smith. A Guardian article of 27 May tells how two men deported to the Congo were tortured, one of them sexually abused. All this despite graphic evidence from a former Congolese...

The politics of listening to the elders

2009-05-27T03:22:34Z

It is not possible to decipher correct information through print and electronic media, nor is it possible from hearsay. Getting unbiased information is only possible through experiencing it. Let me put forward my arguments: Looking at the Pakistani soaps, dramas, movies, sitcom and all such mediums claiming to represent Pakistan; an outsider would think that Pakistan is a place where there is love everywhere, Pakistan looks something quite similar to UAE or Thailand, and that girl-guy chasing around is very obvious. But let me assure you that Pakistan is nothing close to such notions. Similarly, we all hear from people visiting the US that the family structure there has annihilated. We...

How to increase blog traffic

2009-05-17T07:28:42Z

There must be thousands of "how to increase blog traffic" posts and articles out there on the internet. From experts in SEO to link-builders to black-hats to link-buyers to ping-traffickers to directory submitters. But simple things are often forgotten. It is true that having a blog means nothing if you don't have people to read it. Pakistani bloggers too, like almost all bloggers, yearn more readership, for recognition, fame, and thanks to Google AdSense, fortune. Here I'm attempting to share some experience with fellow bloggers. Some of the tips below may sound terribly obvious and no-brainers, but these are tried and trusted. Having said that, building traffic and loyal...

Taliban

2009-05-16T18:14:22Z

This saying appears in many different forms, but the earliest version is probably that of the poet and philosopher George Santayana: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." I cannot believe that the government has no idea what "appeasement" means - learn from history - Hitler took Czechoslovakia without a shot then went on to take over Europe, Africa, and parts of the Middle East - Do you really think that extremist criminals will be satisfied with Swat? Learn from history - destroy these criminals while you can! More ...

Give Pakistan its Due - Please

2009-04-14T04:34:51Z

Pakistan is no joke. It is the 6th most populous country in the world with a population of 175 million people. 175 million people with aspirations, needs, wants and potential for positively impacting the world. Have we forgotten the zenith we reached in education, sports, music, aviation, politics, nuclear technology and irrigation systems? Have we forgotten the heroics of Dr. Salam, Imran Khan, Jahanghir, Jansher, Islah, Qaid-e-Azam, Benazir, Nusrat Fateh Ali and Edhi? Don't we remember how Pakistani Economists helped Singaporean and South Korean economies start in the right direction. I think we are as good a nation as any around, however, passing through a difficult phase. The...

Pakistan needs to follow Chinese economic blueprint

2009-03-16T18:59:22Z

There is a stretch of hundreds of miles of border area between one of the most advanced manufacturing super power houses in the world and the most fragile economies of scale. Internal and complex policies that lay paralyzed in the hands of friable leadership across the world and yet there are nations that are building more advanced cities of permanence in the world. The instability of the general world market can be quantified by the benchmarks of last two decades. The price of basic ingredients of life has increased 1000%. Electricity and gas supply to industrial areas are at a halt. One can only imagine what goes on in the local communities. All third world countries that have been...
