the calm before the storm...

Well congratulations guys, democracy is on its way? Or is it? Hah you know i find this entire situation rather pathetic, but am also quite empathic towards it and also towards my country Pakistan. I have always considered democracy in this country as this new phrase that i have coined which fits in perfectly for it. This country has attained "democrazy" people are plain simple going mad. They don't have food, our big wig politicians are holding back on stuff like wheat rice etc, the bird flu is up everyones asses, the heat is about to start rising, no wonder the common man is actually losing there SHIT. "Democrazy" stands for a country which is completely functioning in a backwards manner, it is a statement coined for the millions of people who are uneducated and you can buy there vote for like 10 rs... Do they understand what the government is? No, are they educated? No. Do they want to make a difference? No.

So what do they truly want? They plain and simply just want to live there daily lives eat some food and move on. Who takes them for granted? Our lovely politicians, i yet have to come across a politician who looks at Pakistan from a complete perspective and not just a regional based. Bhaee if you are saying that you can bring about change and make a difference and reinstate democracy, how about looking at the bigger picture? I guess for our loving politicians the bigger picture revolves more on the phrase "Show me the MONEY".

The calm before the storm? Well think about it, inflation is going straight up everyones asses, normal edibles like grain, wheat, even veggies and fruit are overpriced, the middle man is spending money yes but they are so drawn into loans etc that they don't realize that these banks will suck them dry. The poor man wants food and shelter and guess what they are not getting that. So imagine the french revolution pakistani style. Neither do i promote violence and insanity neither do i enjoy it, but people shits definitely going to hit the roof so just be geared for it. Viva la Pakistan! :P does that make sense?

Assasinations, weddings & the hunt for milk, bread and water! - Part 3 - Oh yeah and Ciggarettes!

I felt like i was walking the streets of resident evil, newspapers flying everywhere, broken glass on the street burnt up cars and no soul on the road, i decided lets go find some smokes and guess what couldnt find crap. Lets get a coke, guess what couldn't find that, Tried to get milk, bread, water NOTHING was available. The death of a supposed martyr destroyed the countries infrastructure to the extreme. I have always been known to hook people up with whatever they needed but for the first time in my life. I couldnt even get some drinking coke. It was hideous, i felt like i was in the middle of a warzone. What does one do when the city you live in and love is going through this attrocious phase. You watch you city bleed and you cant do anything to fix it up. One man cant do alot, but one man can try. So whoever thinks they can. Please RISE, please speak up and please try to make some sort of a difference. Its sad how vendors just overpriced everything. But kudos to the people who didnt, support was definitely there. People stopped other people from driving into warzone marked locations, people were supportive. If the masses are supportive, if the people of this country are supportive. Who caused all this chaos? Well i have insight on a very basic scale but lets try not to make this political.
Solutions were not at all provided to the people of the city. We were jailed within our houses. Luckily electricity did not fail us as much as we expected but at the end of the day there was nothing else. But a handful of people gave me hope. They made me understand that there is still some hope left in this amazingly beautiful hellhole of ours. I would like to give them all a shout out. Thank you for helping the people around you, thank you for your support. The news channels behaved and well they were quite positive this time around. Kudos to them as well. Especially dawn news, thats some pretty good work guys keep it up. The city has a negativity surrounding it its time to blow away this cloud of uncertainty and rise like the a phoenix! Karachi will rise and everyone out there will make it happen. Welcome to the new year karachi this is actually your time!

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 blank room...day 4

Yes there is no day 3 in my blog, because i think it just passed me by due to extreme workload!
So what now? Nothing i suppose today i feel we shall talk about the blank room!
What my friends is the blank room? Its that time in the day where you are sitting by yourself watching your favorite tv show and than this shiver goes up and down your spine after you realize the fact that you are in a blank state of mind. The blank room my friends, is the cubicle you sit in as do i at this present time and moment after hours at work.

The blank room is the state of mind that you are left with when you are drained after a long day at work. I'm sure all of you have had those days? Havent you? If you havent than please tell me the secret of your sanity.

The blank room is what your in when you are about say something and you completely forget what it was and it comes back to you in a week or a day or even a months time.

The blank room is that feeling that is derived out of that entertaining moment once achieved and than there is nothing else. Bordering boredom perhaps the blank room is a logic that everyone tends to overlook. What is your blank room? Come on tell me what you guys think your blank room is all about?

I have loads more to say about my blank room but it would be good if you spent atleast five minutes in a day to pinpoint your blank room and tell me about it so perhaps we can find a common factor and thus end that problem :).
