Surgery is tough. Requires lots of work and staying in the ward long hours. Yet it is enjoyable and addictive. As in my case so addictive that you start volunteering for extra calls--->what am I INSANE?

Blogging is a full time job. It demands persistence and consistent hard work. This I have realized in this time , while off from school. While I had all the time to keep myself abreast of the latest developments in different areas I wrote and wrote pretty regularly. Now that I am back in the hostel and have many other things on my mind I can't find things to write about. It seems that the posts will turn more and more personal again till the time I have reprieve from this place and a little peace of mind.    One more thing can be said about blogging_it requires a full stomach. Yes it does! You simply cant think of writing if your tummy is not full and constantly fed over and over again.

Almost magnificant.    Got a chance to see the mens hockey match between Pakistan and South Korea. It was a treat to watch. The whole game was full of speed and enthusiasm on the part of the players from both the teams. Pakistanis wer the better of the two and deserved to win. We won 3-0. If we keep on playing like that i would predict a gold in these olympics. One more suggestion, please don't commit the mistake of watching the match on PTV network.

Shaukat Aziz Winning. As already expected Shaukat is winning from both constituencies. Interestingly BBC urdu on radio set the news in this way, 'By-elections are being held in the two constituencies in Pakistan to get the PM-Designate Shaukat Aziz elected...'    Three opponents were assasinated in Attock just before the elections. This shows that the dictator is ready to kill to get his candidate to win. No arrests have been made. FIR has been sealed. The car used for the assasination has remained in police use . The accused in the assasinations are the District Nazim of Attock city, who, is In-law of the Current Prime Minister. Even the Pakistan Election Commission secretery addmitted that the assasinations have undoubtedly spread fear in the voters. Voters know that if they vote against the appointed candidate they will meet the same fate.    Supporters of the opposition candidates in Mithi were held captives for long hours and then later release...

Oval heroes.    The other day I was watching this programme on our national network. The programme was dedicated to the cricketers who comprised the team which one their first ever test against the english in England. The home team was then very strong and had many renowned players in its 11 member squad while the touring team was a collection of amateurs under the captaincy of Hafeez Kardar, the legendary disciplinarian. The hero in the oval ground was our fast bowler Fazal Mehmood. This, then, young blue-eyed, feary and enthusiastic young man took 12 wickets in the test for 99 runs. It is said that he was in such magnificent form that he would mark the place for the field to stand saying that next bowl will be a catch right at this place, never failing in what he said.    The win brought the Pakistani team in the limelight and the people of the world came to know that we as a nation have a potential to excel in every field, given a fair chance. ...

United we stand.    I was watching the late hour news on the PTV network the other day. In the trading and economic news section there was this news report on the Sialkot International Airport . This is an under construction project for both domestic and cargo purposes. The amazing thing about the whole affair is that it is being built not by any govt. agency but by the inhabitants of the city themselves on self help basis. The Sialkotians are indeed coming up to the expectations of their great philosopher and poet Allama Iqbal.    Since Sialkot is majorly an industrial city with major exports in sports goods and surgical instruments there was a dire need for a way of quick delivery of these items to their destinations abroad. As our govt. has decided never to take the right initiative the people of the city took it upon themselves to build an International airport which could cater to their needs of cargo shipment. Thus a group of industrialists got ...
