Horrifying

I cannot believe this !

I refuse to BELIEVE what's happening in my country right now.

An old man (yes, he may SOUND booming, but he is STILL aged)....is being beaten up by the so called LAWYERS of my country.

Why? Because he sided (and still does, last I checked) with the mighty President of this mighty nation and those views were totally contradictory to the lawyer's movement.

Yes, they are justified in opposing him, protesting against him, protesting IN FRONT OF him....but NO, they are not justified in throwing tomatoes/eggs at his face, smashing up the window glass of the ambulance he was being taken in, and manhandle him as he tried to defend himself.

I can't believe this!! I still can't. I am deeply embarrassed to call myself a Pakistani at this particular moment.

But...something doesn't add up. Yesterday, Arbab Sahab was beaten up in the Sindh Assembly. PPP was blamed of course, and they vigorously denied, of course. A man in white clothes was also beating him up but the best part is...nobody knows who he was.

Similarly, today the so called lawyers were lashing out (supposedly) at Sher Afghan Niazi but this is totally bizarre.

Why would the champions of human rights go and beat up an unarmed man? Even if they oppose him? Why would those who cry out for justice, commit such a gross violation of basic human rights and hurt the dignity of a fellow human being?

I don't get it. There is something fishy going on around here and something tells me, things aren't getting any better soon.

*morosely*. Not to mention, our main university has been closed for two days because the rangers have gone away and the security situation is growing dangerous by the day..

Karachi is in trouble....rather, Sindh is in trouble.

Oh heck, Pakistan is in trouble !

Something that made me snigger :) [A forwarded mail]

Arrest at Kennedy International At New York Kennedy airport today, an individual later discovered to be a public school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession of a ruler, a protractor, a setsquare, a slide rule and a calculator.

Attorney general John Ashcroft believes the man is a member of the notorious al-gebra movement. He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction. "Al-gebra is a very fearsome cult, indeed", Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means and extremes, and sometimes go off on a tangent in a search of absolute value. They consist of quite shadowy figures, with names like "x" and "y", and, although they are frequently referred to as
"unknowns", we know they really belong to a common denominator and are part of the axis
of medieval with coordinates in every country. "As the great Greek philanderer Isosceles
used to say, there are 3 sides to every triangle."

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of math instruction, He would have given us more fingers and toes."

Trying.............

Assalamualaikum

The day was absolutely exhausting actually :) I mean, NOW I know how difficult it is to work on an empty stomach. Totally. I wonder how the poor do it. They HAVE to work, to earn.. so they've got no choice eh..

Rambling mood today.... everything seems brighter, sharper...more distinct. Yet, the light hurts. And it's cold. Kaafi cold.

There's a heavy pounding in one side of my head. I'm afraid of tilting my head, it won't come back upright again. My nose feels like a mini-football.

Oh sheesh! Why am I being so melodramatic. It's just a simple case of food-poisoning, along with a fever, headache and cold.

Bus!

My stomach is not upset, it's suicidal

If it's food poisoning, why isn't it ...

quick...and painless?

*sniffle*
