Judicial Brothel
Saad Rizvi comes out. Ali Wazir remains inside. That’s the whole judicial narrative of Pakistan. Banned is not banned anymore. It’s welcomed by the impotents in power. NAP, however, is trashed. By threatening the state with a couple of dead bodies, you can become a democratic entity. This is the message and this is the…

Veena! You are dismissed
How embarrassing, Veena! You always prepare for viva even when you know you have cheated the exams. That’s an unsaid rule. Just because of your interview with Badami, the 5th Generation Warfare is in danger. The whole marketing campaign is down. Funds are wasted. After exposing deep cleavage in India, you have exposed the deep…

State Must Be Secular
That is why the state must be secular. The heroes of 2017 are villains today. Why? Religion. Interestingly, both the sides are religious and safeguarding Islam. Safeguarding Islam? From? Does Islam need your safeguarding? No. It’s you who need Islam to sell your products. It’s a marketing tactic. What is the meaning of being religious?…

District Development Package (DDP) of Punjab 2021-22
This piece is in response to Mr. Hasaan Khawar, SACM to the Chief Minister Punjab, who has recently tweeted that District Development Package (DDP) is a game-changer for Punjab. Well, it is not a game-changer. Budget 2020-21 was prepared with mockery in the name of ‘Development’. Punjab – like KPK – has made one of…

Random Numbness (Sep 2021)
Long time, no Highness. It’s easy to accept that 9/11 was an inside job. But it’s tough to get the same insight regarding APS 2014. However, one thing for sure is, both the incidents served intelligence and militaries of the respective countries. That’s why people like Ehsan Ullah Ehsan escape like Jerry and no one…

Babus & Babies
It’s easier to make a kid understand a thing than a DMG/PAS officer. Or any CSP/PMS in general. What’s the hierarchical idea of private organizations? Imagine a new CEO is imposed on Google. A CSP of course. Or in Yahoo. Or Tesla. Or Amazon. Or NASA. What will that lead to? Obvious disaster. Here Education…

The New Disorder
Two wrongs don’t make a right. If I suggested that Talibans are Yazidis, it doesn’t mean that Americans / NATO were Hussainis. You made idiotic analogy on your own. I said “Afghanistan is going from worse [under America] to worst [under Taliban]”. I have written against the wrongdoings of America. From Syria to Yemen to…

Lionel Messi
Prior to 2011, I knew nothing about football. I always thought of it as 22 men running after a ball madly. Faking injuries. Diving. Striving for penalties rather than scoring. And, I thought it as an artless game. Then I got Xbox. After some shooting games, came EA’s FIFA. With Messi on cover, I started…

After Noor
She wanted to make her point with a placard in Aurat March. Then she was beheaded. Murdered. Buried. Making her point with a tombstone. Yet, the ‘Qamars’ and ‘Oryas’ are as ugly as they have ever been. The other one stayed for 10 years with four children in a toxic marriage. Tortured for a decade…
