“Get out of here” The banker screamed, when the beggar came in. “Why” Asked the beggar. “Because you’re beggar” The banker says “Of course I’m one” The beggar said. “Then go” “No” “Do you want me to call the police” The banker shouts. “No, I want to open an account” “Don’t talk nonsense, you’re beggar” “I know, but I still want to open account” “You’re a beggar and you cannot possibly have anything” “You'r wrong I would not say that, I have enough to open account” “How much?” The beggar shows him a Rs 100 note. “Where did you get that? “Someone gave it to me” “Who?” “I don’t know?” “you don’t? “Yes” “Someone gave you money for what?” “nothing” “Why? Why would any one give you money for nothing?” “Because…I’m…a…beggar?” “I knew what you’ll say that. You really want to open account?” “yes” “Well, sit down, you will have to answer some questions” “Ok, ask them” “Where did you get money from” “From begging” “Do you have...

For the followers of religion and the true believers, the Great Flood has returned. It was revealed that when Noah encountered the Great Flood, he built the ark to save people. It was a new beginning, order had to be restored. Mankind faced the greatest peril at that time and Noah was their saviour. Noah’s name is in the religious books. The Great Flood was to tell the world about the great power of God and his unification. Only true believers would this Great Flood portends. Mankind has again reached the edge of the precipice. Like the rivers change their course, mankind can also avoid the course it is has adopted. This time humanity has been left to choose the direction it wants to go. Instead of going the way of Matually Assured Destruction and the Nuclear Holocaust. This can be avoided and humanity will saved. Otherwise this Great Flood is the Great Flood of apocolypse and the beginning of the End of Days. The Great Flood is year zero. From this year onward humanity can avoid ...

Zardari is visiting the UK despite the fact that he had condemned and snubbed by the British prime minister. "God! has the man no shame?" He is also going at the time when Pakistan is suffering the worst flooding since 1929. He should have some consideration for the people of Pakistan at this time. Up to 600 people have died because of these floods. No relief is forthcoming. Which is something he probably can never do, unless there is massive bribe for him somewhere. The fact he is going only to Britain is not for the benefit of Pakistan, but check out all the loot he has gathered in Britain. He is also going in an official plane filled with his lackeys and his 'friends'. This will cost Pakistan about $500 million. Money which could be used to provide relief to those who are starving because of these floods. But does President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari care? Not one bit. The USA is not too happy with existing government and Pakistan on the whole.

No one in Pakistani TV channels has studied journalism. They do not know the first thing about it. The concept of Redundancy is an essential aspect. Redundancy is a mass communication term, those who do know what this term means, need not bother. But for those who do, yesterday was example of Redundancy gone amok. Every single channel was reporting the same thing throughout the day. The air crash was a sad thing to happen, but it does not justify any sensible news organisation go on telecasting it. The weirdest part of it was that, none of them had any facts with them. They were stuck with the plane had crashed and an attempt to rescue any survivors was going on. What many people missed the point that why had so many people showed up at where the plane had crashed? None of these news organisations have the questions Five Ws and the Single H. Because do not know how to ask and what to ask and who to ask. They are incompetent in every aspect of the field of journalism. This is not jo...

Should the government should provide 90% subsidy all food items and not impose Valued Added Tax? 2.The government should be responsible for price control 3. Banking secrecy, the money saved or withdrawn from a bank should not be the business of the government. The existing ...

The government has announced wheat exports to Afghanistan. This will only one thing for the people in Pakistan, the price of bread will go up. There was a time when bread use to cost 25 Paisas now it 6 Rupees. Meat use to cost 80 Rupees per kilogramme now it costs 450 Rupees per kilogramme. The reason for the exorbitant increase is that meat is being exported. The existing government has complete failed keep a check on prices. There is no price control system in place or even a system of subsidise the cost of food. The government does not feel obliged to benefit people in any way at all. Companies and shops are doing exactly as they feel like they just keep on increasing the cost of their products. Retailers are fed up and all are seriously considering closing shop. Any government which fails to lower the price of food, is doomed. Such a government is intolerable. The first thing the government should do is impose price control on everything which is being sold particularly all...

The way things are going on in the country, one is forced to wonder about the relevance of the government. What has it done for the country and the people - absolutely nothing. The economy is perpetually at rock bottom. After the last time when people had foreign currency accounts, the government ended them. Now no businessman in his right mind ever keeps his income from exported items in any Pakistani bank, because now no one trusts the government and there is no reason to. No one wants to make the same mistake. Once was more than enough. A top priority is banking secrecy. The government should never question why someone is depositing a a large sum of money in any bank or withdrawing. No one should know. The government should interfere in bank deposits and withdrawals. But government wants to make its business. It strange when someone wants to buy a new car, unless there is proper documentation on the money which is being paid for its purchase. Why does the government want such r...
