10 Years of Bin Laden
Yesterday was International Labor Day. Today is National Embarrassment Day. Yes. Bin Laden happened today in 2011. Whether we knew about Bin Laden or we didn’t; is equally embarrassing. If we knew about the American operation or we didn’t; it’s the same embarrassing tale to tell. Can US Navy Seals through two Black Hawks come…

Random Numbness (May 2021)
RANDOM NUMBNESS – May 2021 Happy late Labor Day! Nothing to be happy about being labor or the day. It is what it is. A holiday for the bourgeoisie. Maulana Tariq Jameel has joined the business and is celebrating labor day too. Now he will be selling what he never brought. It happens in business…

Right
In battle of left and right, you need to stand ‘right’. Corrected, I mean. It’s not a battle of left and right, but some words should be written rightly. The state has a higher responsibility than any mob. It has the responsibility of law and order. And the state is to blame when blood is…

Pimp Service of Pakistan (PSP)
Imagine the hostility of circumstances that people are saluting the police. Sigh! The police which has been providing pimp services with violence and fear. Sahiwal massacre was a police job.

Selling religion, as it sells. But then he went farther and talked about rape, parda, fahashi, and stuff. Don’t…

Local Dramas & Our Script Writers
What can you watch on TV while having dinner or breakfast? Morning shows? Dramas and soap operas? News? I prefer BBC or Aljazeera. Or Animal Planet. But what actually do we have locally? I had an opportunity to witness the disaster for quite some days. While the world is in the 21st century, we are…

Blasphemy & Aurat March
Hence blasphemy. When there is nothing left, there is blasphemy. Always. You can play a little trick and then mock and kill anyone. Mob justice prevails too in certain cases. But connecting the two – #AuratMarch and Blasphemy – is actually herd-creativity at its best. Low though. But sure. First of all, ladies, you should…

Where is Honor?
Is it on the honorable seat of the honorable judge where they sell justice? Is it beneath the table of clerks who take bribe before doing legal work of poor citizens? Is it in the barracks where soldiers plan to takeover the country rather than to serve it? Is it in the national anthem which…
