Assasinations, weddings & the hunt for milk, bread and water! - Part 2


Amidst all this chaos, while people were stranded on the roads, without access to the outside world since phone lines were down. Weddings still had to happen, i was actually a part of a great wedding. A close friends wedding where she had about 24 guests flying in from london, india, ukraine and brazil. How was this going to actually happen considering the groom and his friends arrived the morning after Benazirs death? Well it happened and it was rockin' the father of the bride was king on this momentous occasion, security was arranged for, guest houses were arranged for transport was looked after and well the booze intake was definitely going to go into overdrive.
We all partied non stop from dusk till dawn, we derived our own pleasurable insanity from the chaotic insanity that was taking place in the outside city. What did the guests have to say? They loved it!! They actually understood that the news is just completely outrageous and just blows things out of proportion as compared to what was truly happening within the country. Yes we sheltered them but come on the city was not as bad as they showed on the foreign news channels. And fox news, im sorry to say has some major racial and religious issues, they just talk utter crap and they should just be pulled off air. We met some great people during this wedding, it was a breath of fresh air, they loved the city, and im hoping they loved the people, we had the mayun, a chaotic and confusing nikkah ceremony, a rocking insane party at a prestigious restraunt which gave a beautiful view of karachi to our guests, than a beautiful mehndi and beautiful shadi. Was everyone in over drive? Hell yeah, everyone was on utter and insane overdrive but trust you me it was well worth it! Oh yeah and if anyone from the outside world is reading this, im taking everyone up on there invitations and will definitely be flying to your locations to party like the madmen us pakistanis are.
Oh yeah and to top it all off, our amazing guests pulled off one of the best choreographed dances i had ever scene heh. they actually made us want to crawl back into the hole we came from. I'm attaching the video on the blog for all eyes to see :)

Assasinations, weddings & the hunt for milk, bread and water! - Part 1

As we all know one very popular lady was assassinated a couple of days back. Thus the city came to an utter standstill, after which utter chaos ensued. Ridiculous to the extreme was the aftermath,
from cars being burnt, people being killed on the roads, shops being looted. My question is who actually profits from this? Well first of all not the PPP, secondly not the masses, and well at the end of the day the entire country came to a stand still. It was just beyond insanity. I understand the poor lady was assasinated but for christs sake people why destroy your own country because of the death of a corrupted icon. Is this what our country stands for? Are we actually asking for another country to come in and keep the peace and just destroy everything our country stands for? I think if this chaos is not managed that will wind up being the case and well Iraq will be relived in my opinion in 5-6 years in Pakistan which we all really don't want. So what next? For the first time in my life i really don't know. So if anyone would like to shed some light on the topic great. Its time the pakistani's pull out of this rut of extreme insanity and someone needs to take a stand in order to show the masses the right path. Is it one of us? Could it be one of us? Lets just hope....part 2 next!

edumacation- day blank


Yes its time to be educated, People, we all understand that Pakistan is going through a very odd time, notice i dont use the word tough. Tough was lets say about 8 years back when we had alot of buffoons running the country. But in this turmoil and state of emergency one tends to overlook the major problem faced by our country and that is education.
First of all let me burst everyones bubbles, there is no QUICK FIX available to resolve our countries problem. If we need to take a stand it has to be for the term "EDUCATION". Forget the protests, the violence, the blatant disregard of respect. Its just education. I consider education the key to help our country develop a democracy.
A democracy people can understand, the layman in our country can not differentiate between a democracy and a dictatorship just because of the sole reason that there is a lack of education.
If some politicians or so to say well wishers of the country get there acts together and perhaps start developing even a basic structure i can see a difference in our futures.
The television is NOT an educational tool, presently its biased and well has a disregard for many things. In my opinion if the television was a little more focused at the problems in hand life would be a little less confusing for our masses.
So what can we do? Well its up to you all to decide. If anyone wants to share there important input with me please feel free to email me. But i would suggest lets all stop sitting on our asses and start doing something on our own accords and lets see how it actually impacts the future of our lovely and lost nation. Save the cheerleader, save the world? No, Teach the cheerleader to read and let her save the world.
And by education i don't mean teach the philosphy, etc etc, i would say teach them about life, teach them vocational skills teach them the basics and well than we can go in further. But guys its all up to us now so you decide.

State of emergency or State of mind?...day 10


Today i will try not to be political, yet a little insightful, but please feel free to share your opinions. Yes i understand that on paper our country is under a state of emergency. But tell me something guys, does it really make a difference to everyones life? The only people who are pissy are the politicians and the americans.

Was reading about cuntdeleezas statement on cnn, PAKISTAN did not consult with the US before declaring the SOE, guys frankly speaking why the hell do we need to consult america for anything. The usa is a state of leeches, and well leeches should not be given more blood to feed on. Yes economically this SOE can effect us quite negatively if not handled in the smartest of ways but i have a good feeling about it and i think our country will adjust itself slowly and accordingly.

A state of emergency is just another excuse for us poor sad souls to party harder as we proved at the hallows night masquerade, people partied utterly insanely, i give them all kudos for dressing up, some highlights of the night included, the baby costume, the daku costumes, the maula jut costumes, the vampires, the ghouls and goblins devils as well as the hijabis from lal masjid came down to party hard and party like true partiers do!

All in all people should just chill out, live there life and try to understand that living for the moment is key, and as far as im concerned. "SHIT HAPPENS" deal with it! So what is the state of your mind today? Keep on posting guys!

The way i was - Day 1


I've heard alot about blogs in the past couple of years but honestly i have never had the chance to ever read one never ever given thought to write one. But lets just say every dog has his day and today could actually be mine.I never did understand what a blog was, yes i can see everyone shaking there head thinking what a moron but seriously who cares.

Actually the real reason im writing this blog is because i got inspired, it was inspiration yes but definitely not of the divine kind, nor of the emotional or spiritual kind. It actually stemmed from watching this TV show by the name of "Californication" It was hilarious, dirty and just outright wrong and guess what i loved it.

Well so what do i hope to achieve out of this blog? Honestly not a whole lot, all i want to do is write, if anyone wants to read they are more than welcome. I do not intend on being inspirational nor will be one of those "wow i want to write like that" aspirational blogs. If i dont have anything to say i wont write but if i feel something needs to be said well it will be and nothing "NOTHING" will be held back so dont piss me off;).

On a lighter note i have been writing this blog since last night, but my sad ass pc keeps hanging on me, so i finally can finish this now. Consider this the start of an honest revolution and please feel free to throw off your shoes take of your clothes and chill in your chaddis for this blog which i so quaintly describe as "Samme says what?" Welcome to my hell.

Oh yeah and one more thing, please feel free to say anything and everything you would like to say on the comments portion and try not to hold yourself back.
