Crow's Nest...

There are few unlucky bastards in this world who have everything they could wish for yet they feel as if everything works to nullify their presence. I happen to be acquainted with one these days. I mean talking about people is one thing but to whisper behind their backs persistently and not being ashamed of your deed is completely another thing. And believe me large statures or bigger brains have nothing to do with common sense or common courtesy or IQ.

This kind of news really pisses me off. Sonia Naz is a 23 year old mother of two kids, who was arrested earlier this year for wandering into the parliament of this country. What she went through after she was arrested for this 'criminal act' is both chilling and shameful for the whole nation. It is indeed a bad and dark leave in our history. Not surprisingly though there are many more. She alleges she was later kidnapped for 15 days and raped by Jaranwala SHO Jamshed Chishti - on the orders of SP Investigation Khalid Abdullah - soon after her release from Adiala jail. "I had no idea that an SP level officer could be so cold-hearted and criminal," Sonia said before breaking into sobs.

It is interesting to note that since now every Tom, Dick and Harry has a mobile phone connection thus most of the election campaign is carried over the phone rather than going home to home and asking for votes. Well 'most' would be an over exaggeration on my part but some aspects of election campaign have definitely shifted to mobile conversations.    We are also reminded of the great poet Habib Jalib in the same stretch of writing. I have not read Habib as much as I have say Faiz but from the way Ayaz mentioned him he seems to be quite an impressive personality. From the pages that I have gathered up through google search I think he was a die hard communist. He raised his voice against every oppressi...

Just survived scares. Feels very weird. Well I don't know why I use this word so often and so frequently. Maybe my vocabulary is restricted when it comes to describing and using adjectives for restrictions. On the other front Hussain and myself are I the process of scanning whole lot of pictures these days. Its mostly Hussain's perseverance that has kept up the pace in scanning. Were it left upon me to scan all these pictures I would have taken years to complete the task. Bravo Hussain.

i am tired of looking around
