I cannot 'live' in Pakistan

I cannot afford to live in Pakistan unless I am equally rich as Zardari is. I can longer afford to pay for my food, I can no longer afford to buy petrol for my motorcycle, I cannot afford to pay for heating my food. I cannot afford to light up the single light bulb in my house. I keep it off any way. I am told there is no electricity but I no longer know about that I have kept my light bulb off. I am told the light bulb I occasionally switch just to see where I am going for finding something is going cost twice as much to switch on, whenever I do. Once or twice people from the KESC came warned I should stop stealing electricity. I told them I do not what they are talking about. They told my meter reading is too low and I am possibly stealing electricity. They said will come to keep an eye on me. I have forgotten what electricity is. When my friends and neighbours tell it will cost me twice as much I am surprised. How it that something I am not using cost me twice as much? I do not wha...
