The National Flag
We have a flag. It is a beautiful flag. People would kill if that flag were to be threatened by outsiders or attackers. Yet, we treat that flag with so much disrespect and contempt that we don’t deserve to be called Pakistanis. If there is one thing that I firmly believe, it’s this: when you [...]
Money = Respect
When the majority of your populace is only mildly educated, it’s quite easy to fall under the spell of money. Those who have it are in positions of prestige, power and (what we think) success. Those who have it are also able to wield unstoppable power over government officials, industry leaders and politicians. Thus, those [...]

When a country is not educated, how does it make it’s decisions about social, economic and civil development? Better question, who makes the decisions?

Now, this should not be confused with professional arrogance. Demanding a salary is not the same as demanding respect, as the latter is more difficult to achieve. [...]
No Concept of Compassion (Are you Serious?)
You take your family out to dinner and have a little au pair sitting along side to take care of your children. You order large meals for everyone, while passing breadsticks and water to the au pair… are you serious? Would you like someone to do that to your child? Let’s turn the table… your [...]
Civic Duty
The police of Pakistan are a dog that needs a good stiff beating. They are arrogant, drunk with power and abuse that power everyday to steal from the common man. What happened the other day in Islamabad is nothing if you hear other stories of abuse from victims of police justice. Women being raped at [...]
