Unhappy ex-Pakistanis

They left and years later they returned - these are ex-Pakistanis. A weird bunch they are. No matter what, nothing will ever make them happy.
They were miserable when they had gone, found fault in virtually everything - made no attempt to put in their share to fix those things - they just went away. The country called Pakistan was like the child they had once left - those memories were etched in their minds. Years later when they returned - they imagined they would be coming to the same country they had left behind. They had abandoned everything when they went away so they had nothing left to stay back.
They are angry because everything has changed - everything is bigger - perhaps not necessarily better. Its like the story of the villager Raju who left his village Katchi to start living in the town called Neker. Raju struggled for years, lived in the slum of Neker after years of struggling and having made some money to show off how successful he his to the people in Katchi. But much to Raju's dismay, Katchi is no longer a village but has become a town just like Nekker and everyone is just as rich as Raju is or many times more prosperous. Raju hated Katchi when it was a village because it was boring and dull, there were limited business and job opportunities. Now that Katchi had become almost like Nekker a lively cosmopolitan place - he was horrified, because now he could no longer impress anyone. His disappointmet turns into rage, he starts looking around for reasons condemning Katchi, telling everyone in Katchi how much nicer Nekker is better than Katchi and how well he is doing in Nekker(although he is living in a slum).
So all these ex-Pakistanis forget is that things never remain the same - they change. Pakistan looks stranger particularly those who have come here after several decades. Now the pace of change is much faster now. If a person leaving the country three or four years ago unless he is in constant contact, he will find it hard to adjust when he returns.
Former journalists and some other people who just want to have a piece published - which appear some newspapers and magazines. Those articles only expose the shallowness of the ex-Pakistanis. The very things they sought in their adopted home country they are now finding in Pakistan, this seriously disappoints them.
Now ordinary Pakistanis; without ever having left the country have the things which the ex-Pakistanis imagined would never be available here. Nearly all these ex-Pakistanis are absolute bigots, they always find one reason or another to hate Pakistan, instead of being specifict about what in particular they find wrong. They simply hate the country and the people in general.
Those who rarely give some details about what they do not like and later asked if they have any solutions for the problem, they flatly refuse to give any. One of the standard reasons they give is that, they are no longer Pakistani citizens hence are no longer obliged to help the country in any way.
They much rather live in poverty in their adopted country instead of coming back to Pakistan to live a reasonably respectable life. They were bigots when the left Pakistan and most probably transformed into masochists as well after leaving.

The blessed and the cursed

The only way to get a really grand job is to be in the right place at the right time. Hardwork, talent, ability and intelligence means nothing. All that you learnt at you university or college is worthless. Consider a man working his butt off for years in a company, suddenly finds out the companies boss has been jailed for not paying taxes. The company winds up and the hardworking man ends on the street. He put in his life in the company – now his pension has gone and he is an old man with no chance getting another job. Lots of people try to be become movie stars end up they are too ugly, their voice is terrible and they just simply stupid – it is all matter of being bad luck. Others regardless of how they look get great part in some movie and end up acting in a film which makes lots of money. A good luck also accounts for the fact that some people can get away with mass murder and never be held accountable for their crimes and some one get just kill one person and be jailed for life ...

Dr Salman Shah is insane

The price of petrol has been increased 7 times and the country's Finance Adviser says it will not affect the economy. I do not know about the economy but I am paying more and more for petrol and my salary has not increased, it is not enough one day petrol will eventually become as expensive as gold or more. Its people like Dr. Salman Shah who do not announce anything during the budget announcement, later start telling the people that everything is going to be more expensive later at the same time say it will not make any difference to the economy. Dr. Salman Shah says this because he does not have to pay for the petrol of his limousine - it is free for him Why should he not drive around in his limousine and pay for petrol from his own pocket instead on relying on the government. The day he starts doing that he will realise what he has done, he will scream. The price of petrol is high because it has 300 per cent taxes on it. If those taxes are removed the petrol would be m...

Mysterious kidnappings

Young students in their twenties are being kidnapped from Karachi and other cities. Though reports about these are kept secret, but with the frequency they are taking place, there is bound to be a leak  and people eventually get to know about this. But the question is who responsible and why is it happening. There are no clear answers. But the people who get away by committing such crimes are obviously are very highly placed, they are virtually above the law. No one can arrest them, even though the evidence is overwhelmingly against them. This is a new way to terrorise the people, it simply boils down to this. If the police and other law enforcement organisations are unable to prevent crime, the people would be forced to take up arms against those who murder, kidnap and steal. Whatever the reasons for the kidnapping, is irrelevant, the people protecting the kidnappers will face the wrath of the people. No court, no judge is going to prosecute these criminals. There is a limit t...
