Good news – Pakistan won the T twenty tournament by defeating Sri Lanka in the final last night in England. Wow, what a match, and what a tournament for Pakistan. The country needed something big, something spectacular, and this victory did just that. It indeed boosted Pakistan’s moral and it is going to bring the […]
Citizens of Karachi have been without electricity for 22 hours! Yes, 22 hours in this excruciating heat. Electricity went out without any plausible reason and there was no answer or definitive time frame about electricity restoration from the Karachi Electric Supply Corporation. So, people were left with no option but to curse the government and […]
It is often said that Pakistan is on collision course with reality and sooner or later, it is going to get very tough for Islamabad to continue like this; no money, no income, terrorism across the country, politicians fighting with each others, people angry with their government, consumer unhappy because of unbelievably high inflation, business […]
No need to repeat what is going on in Pakistan. It is a country that is going through its most difficult time since freedom. And regretfully, there is no end in sight as for Pakistan’s troubles are concerned.

Those who accuse Pakistan of not doing ‘enough’ must realize that Pakistan has done more then any other country in the world and as a […]
Those who always want to read positive or even glowing analysis about Pakistan must stop here because what follows is not pretty. For me, it is hard to differentiate between hell and Pakistan because things in Pakistan are that bad. The best way to describe Pakistan is to explain that the country is a place […]
Talking to reporters, Richard C. Holbrooke confirmed that indeed American weapons are being smuggled to Pakistani Taliban from Afghanistan. Of course this admission does not mean that there is an effort by the Americans to help anti Pakistan forces. This actually confirms that some of the weaponry gets looted and this is guerilla war fare is […]
Obama’s Speech in Cairo Wow, yes, wow, what a speech. Obama’s speech in Cairo was truly an astonishingly refreshing speech by Obama, President of the United States of America. I honestly believe that Obama’s words should give comfort to those who are suspicious of America. Obama was honest, open and he is genuine. After listening […]
Pakistan Army has said that the operation against the Taliban could take months. In other words, finally, the army has understood the nature of the fight against the nut jobs. Not only is the country and the world ready to support the offensive against the Taliban for months, but it seems obvious that the entire […]
The army did wonders in Swat and proved that few militants, even if they are determined to die, but inflict tremendous harm to others are no match for a disciplined army, thank God. At this point, it seems obvious that the situation in Swat is getting better in terms of the defeat of the Taliban. […]
