Thanks for expressing sympathies. I used to make a lot of feel-good posts in the past, but I have abandoned that futile effort lately. Anything more than that? Are you certain that your posts were deleted because you disagreed with me? Because, that is the last thing, you have to worry about...

For many people, as long as Pakistan exists, its all fine and dandy. Its a logic which eludes me day and night, despite the fact that I have tried to understand it many times. It simply doesn't make sense. How long would everyone remain in survival mode?

I am not attempting to discuss religion, whats with you today? Just commenting on the "cognitive ability" and "critical thinking skills" of our people, saying if they can't see the obvious wrongs by themselves and instead consider such people as their hero and savior. Its not exactly strange...

Make it "better than the overwhelming majority of the Pakistani rulers" then. Unfortunately, since I am human. I am more than capable of making mistakes. What happened after them, then? This region is one of the most densely populated in the world, you aren't exactly telling me that two people...

Lost me, suddenly? The British infrastructure still standing depicts the sad state of our affairs when our built things keep failing regularly. I was answering your "nobody ran things better than the other". The Thanvi having been awarded the "Physician of the Ummah" title is a commentary on...

There are structures from the British era in old, dusty but still architecturally sound state and yet those made by the Pakistani Govt fail or crumble or look in abysmally bad state just after a year of being made. Speaks loads as to which one ran things better. See, there's the problem, they...

Make it Bengalis and Burmese people. I am quite certain that a large number of them are Rohingyan people fleeing persecution in Burma. A welcome step. Now, only if the Govt of Pakistan can do the same for "Stranded Pakistanis" in Bangladesh too.

Its not about them being the "messiah". I have just said that they ran Pakistan better than the Pakistanis. Of course, they looted the country and furthered their own interests, but still after all that, there was a visible Govt more responsible and committed than anything we have seen since the...

Better yet. Get the Britishers back if you can or let them run things through a Viceroy. Re-enable the honors of the Queen (Elizabeth the Second, Queen of the United Kingdom and of Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth) and carry a small union jack at the side of the...

Say no to the people who actually made the country and have been running it since its inception? The remnants of half of the founding Muslim League? How exactly does one do that, again? Earth to El Sidd.

Has he accepted himself as the Prime Minister? Because the last time I saw him, he was still talking like he was holding the seat for "the Tiger". Great development, then. And if any future Technocrat Govt can't resolve Pakistan's issues, what are you doing in that regard?

Illogical statement from the interior minister. Why exactly should he stop commenting? Because the interior minister doesn't like it seriously? The right of free speech is guaranteed by the Pakistani constitution and the ISPR spokesperson was most likely speaking, in a personal capacity. Not...

Let me explain it, to you, since you have highlighted it in bold. The fact that you are required to confirm your belief before taking part in a variety of things related to the functioning of the state isn't exactly discriminatory. It is just to confirm whether you are a Muslim or not. Because...

Excellent! The deal should be done as soon as possible. This is the best fate the Steel Mills can have, considering its present condition.

So, long as everybody gets equal rights and the country is prospering and being run "rationally", I personally don't have a problem with whatever they prefer to call it. Because then, it doesn't matter. See, Pakistanis themselves have been a confused breed for long, they don't exactly know...

Lol. Of course, why do a better job at it, when a poor emotional one would suffice?

Whoever fabricated and executed the story, could for sure, do a better job at it.

What a dirty business statehood is and how messed up does one have to be to run it!

So it really is Pakistan first, not Islam first here. Impressive, Mr Musharraf would be proud.

Monsieur Munto, nonsensical and vulgar - as he may sound to the ordinary, hyper-stagnant, ignorant, self-righteous and uncomprehending out there, was a man of extremely high caliber whose writing was beyond the mental capacity or understanding of ninety percent of the population at that time and...
