Leak that (universally) ruined the week...

Chalo jee. I never expected this when I was growing up, and of all the days in the week, it had to happen on Monday, the start of the week. I thought when I will grow up, everything would be nice and dry. Unlike childhood which is filled with embarrassing memory, I thought things would get better with time but then came school life where a lot of things leaked. Secret leaked, exams paper leaked, and even the results leaked. Finally, you step into your adult life (or like in 90s, they used to say "practical life") and you find out there are more leaks. Leaks that made adults leaks. If the world is really ending, I think its leaking towards the end.

WikiLeaks has surely made a quite mess for people. The problem lies with that USA had forefathers. Had they got any mother in between them, she would have told them that sharing is good. At least sharing honest opinions would have helped them and the world.

The Cablegate has made quite a tangled up mess. It has made leaders around the world, worried. Very worried, indeed but I guess nobody will learn anything from this leak. And if there are countries who are wise enough to investigate the actions mentioned in these leaks then Pakistan might not be the one in them. These leaks would end up on talk shows at dinner where they will cause nothing but sound pollution. The lack of confidence that our brotherly nations' leadership has shown towards Zardari and Sharif should make us ponder and question about the options we have for our next election. Picking any of the two would be grave mistake for Pakistan. Furthermore, we should really think about our stance in this "War against Terror". In 10 years, we have sacrificed a lot but we have never received any appreciation.

The information in these leaks are quite scary. Had they been printed as fiction, it would have been a bestseller in no time. These leaks are a true of reflection of time; a point upon which the leaders and the people of the world have to notice that there is too much hate prevailing in our hearts. We need to sort out our priorities, for our children and their children.

Khair, what happened, happened. In order to stay free and peaceful, the leaders should ALWAYS use a far-sighted sensibility rather than short-term greed so that their people can all have a happy period.

Sexting, Arresting...

Chalo. Last night when you are about to sleep, you hear that a plane crashed in Karachi and you get curious if my city is under a curse of some sort. All the three flights that have crashed in Pakistan in the past five months were linked with Karachi somehow. Allah bless all the departed souls and the people who got injured or lost someone in these accidents.

Khair, you go to sleep only to be disturbed by your little sister and your mom who tell you that there is police near your house and to remind you that a plane has crashed. The first thought in my mind is that the religious political group at the end of your street has something to do with planes going down but then I learn the police has cars parked outside my house. I got scared, I thought Zardari post of mine was read and I am going down for blasphemy). However, the police were for my neighbors which gave my active imagination to search for new theories until I heard the real story, this morning.

It seems that old habits die hard. The Punjabi neighbors of ours have sons and one of them tried to threaten a girl and thought he would get away with it. The girl must've been smart and told the police. The police with all of its glory (I mean, those shiny new Hi-Lux) came to our neighborhood to investigate at 0400am. Thanks to a stupid move, almost everyone in the neighborhood was awake. It seems that guys in Pakistan love it learn it the hard way. Under new laws, women have the right to complain about anything which can threat them.

Sexting can be one of them. Recently, a friend told me that he has girls for "doing" it on MMS (and it gets better if you have a touchscreen phone). With hormones all charged up, both parties send each other pictures in their birthday suits. Those "for your eyes only" pictures are usually stored in the phone memory and then "sharing is good" happens. If things get messy, there can be a chance where a girl can report the police about the "indecent exposure" and the complaint would be taken seriously. It can make a guy end up in jail and thats not one very cool place to hang out. Guys can do the same thing but they would not because they think they are plenty fishes in the water.

This topic is meant for guys out there who are acting very irresponsible. These guys forget that they would "kill" their sisters for sexting but they would encourage other girls to do it. They should also know that times are changing and girls are now empowered with law than some years back. The topic at the same is for girls too. They should think twice before making bold steps. It is a fact in the "girl world" that guys are jerk and then they would be stupid about it. It is better for both of girls and guys to keep their shirts on and belts tight on this matter. Sexting is fun but doing it with pictures, it can go severely wrong.


P.S.: My neighbour never "sexted" and later I was told he was investigated for a suspected part in robber (wtf). WOW! What a good bunch of buddies he has.

Lunch with free add-ons...

Chalo jee. There are times you go to restaurant for lunch and you wish that you could have a nice time eating. You want to consume your afternoon meal without noticing the harsh realities of life because at dinnertime, you know Kamran Khan will tell you that apocalypse would come any second and we all are goners. Thanks to him, I have gained weight over the last time as I might be binging.

Khair, lunch is where I need peace so I often eat at an eatery near my office. Today was sandwich day. As I ordered, it turns out there was a brawl in the kitchen over the wrong set of buns offered with an order. The consumer wanted round ones rather the long ones (I am still confused why). Muhajir supervisor threw the long buns on Pathan cook and then it all started. Without thinking that there was a restaurant to run, the supervisor and the waiter started with verbal abuses of all family kinds. All the other waiters started to reduce the emotional temperature, leaving only one behind to tackle all twelve tables.

The things cooled down for a second but then they reappeared. Apparently, the Pathan cook talked with his Pathan friend and the Muhajir supervisor heard there was something going on Pushtu which was enough start Round 2. This time, Muhajir supervisor targeted the "Superman" t-shirt wearing better looking Pathan cook who looked fairly younger. The supervisor was quite offended by the use of Pushtu language. He was so crossed that he threatened him with ready-to-find weapon, a raita bottle and promised to throw a plate on his face later. Meanwhile, I was half done with my sandwich but there were hungry costumers waiting for their orders to be either taken or delivered. The Pathans were ready to attack as well.

The funniest bit is that the whole brawl cooled down when a Bengali interfered.

Now everyone would think that I am being racist and in my defense, I would say I am human. This whole brawl was quite amusing to look at but it was a harsh reality that got served with my lunch bill. We as a nation are now getting very intolerant. We quarrel on small non-productive issues at a time when we have big issues on hand, and most of our quarrels are cooled down with some type of interference from external sources. It shows that the actions of our politicians is doing nothing but creating a mess.

As for me, I think Kamran Khan may not be wrong, the world might be really ending.

Hush Zardari, Shoe Zardari!

Guess who went on a vacation. Our President, the beloved Asif Ali Zardari. First, he went to Paris, and borrowed a French Army helicopter for trip to his château. I hope he had some French wine and the scenery must be real great because he needs that. A President and his false-named prince needs to be pampered. Everyone should hush up as President is a father and a vacation with his children is due. He lost so much time in the jail and never had the time for a vacation until now when half of the Pakistan is flooded. So vacation it is. When Pakistan calls its President for help, they might get to hear the melody close to the following one.

Indeed hooray! Hooray for Hyatt Regency London to be the most frugal option for our President. Hooray for Lord Nazir Ahmed who declined to meet the President. Hooray for the Labour MP Khalid Mahmood who reminded that the trip is pointless but our little old President had a country to save as he was "protecting" national interest. As it is taught in business schools all over the world, an investor should always protect his interest, and we all know the 10% interest that Mr. Zardari has on basically anything interesting.

Wise is that son of our President. He plainly refused to launch his political career and became a pauper for the devastated people of Pakistan while the President was proclaimed a "King". President Zardari and his pals in UK thought that a party would be a great end to his vacation. They made plans and they made lists of people who should be invited. You know a King's Ball is not open for all and you have to be special to be invited. So, they booked a hall in Birmingham and made sure that the party starts fashionably late. But what's a party without a Cinderella moment.

Off came the shoes! The rest is pretty much history. If Mr. President is of sound mind - a story for another day, he should know by now that he has been shooed not by the British Government, or the Overseas Pakistani but from people inside his circle. As for the people like Qaira and Babar, they must be sleeping as it is a habit of PPP leadership to doze off whenever they feel like. The footage from PTV indeed shows that there was something fishy, and the crowd was lesser than expected. The Telegraph quoted a number of 1000. The whole PPP needs to wake up and smell the Java. The reality on ground has changed. The leadership is faulty and the communication inside the PPP is worse than ever. They need a new face and a new vision. It would be best if it came from someone mature and not young, especially the ones who have drunk photos on their Facebook account.

Later on TV, Sharmil Faroqi gave a statement that Prime Minister is the Chief Executive, and he was here. According to her, President Zardari gave all his powers to Prime Minister. However, she overlooked one tiny detail, President, unlike the norm, still runs the PPP and Prime Minister is a part of the party. So we still have the same thing in a new packaging.

Oh well, as I suggested PPP needs a new leadership quotient but if they are thinking, Bilawal as the next big thing. Then they should use the following song as their new hip anthem.

As for Mr. President, he had a trip to Europe with his boys, took a joy ride in French Army helicopter and in the end, an "admirer" gave him new shoes. Not a bad trip for Mr. Even with all the hush and the shoe going on, not a bad trip for the President and for the puppies. Hush hush, Durrani. Don't get carried away now.
