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 is written in foreign language and hardly understood by few?

Is it in the national assembly where the most corrupt is feared the most?

Is it in hotels where men pay for sex so as to tell their friends how vulgar the society is?

Is it in the schools where students pay more fees than the income of their parents?

Is it in the mosque where sermons of violence and murder are given?

NO.

Honor is only and only between the legs… that too of a woman alone.

Biden’s Day 1

Day 1 of Biden: Inauguration. Office. Issuance of promised presidential orders. 17 executive orders. Muslim ban: abolished. Mexico wall: halted. Student debt collection: freezed. Paris climate accords: re-joined. Discrimination against LGBT employees: banned. and so on… This is how you prove that homework was done prior to oath. This is how you show dignity of your spoken words. Not 90 days. Not 1 year. Not 2 years. No hiccups. No blame-game. No old-age NRO shit. No if and no but. Straight to work like a true leader. Breaking the conservative threshold right on day 1 with liberal orders. And here we are stuck with container speeches, narcissism, NRO, inflation, and incompetency. But don’t blame. He is a meme only. Nothing more than a dummy. Blame yourself for patriotic pizza services; serving customers in all civil domains. Here. And hereafter. ======== Response after some stupid comments:

Those who stood with the US on War on Terror, are angry that Democrats are pro-war.

Those who remained silent at being an active ally on war against Yemen, are annoyed that Democrats will be harsh on foreign policies.

Those who gave air bases to let drones fly and kill civilians, are advocating that Trump was better than the Democrats.

Those who neither hear nor speak of missing people, are criticizing that Democrats are violators of global human rights.

Those who supported Trump on Afghan policies, are historically myopic of their own violence in the neighborhood.

And this can go on and on with inclusion of silence on Uighur and mourning for Palestine.

Relax Mr. Hypocrite!

First of all, PTI was not compared to Republicans or Democrats. PTI was nothing until it was nurtured specifically for this task to cover the Martial Law.

Only the loudmouth PM’s promises were compared to that of Biden’s. You may call the comparison between a rotten tomato and an apple. Whatever.

Secondly, our PM was clueless – which he has admitted himself – about everything. All he has to do is vomit all day. All his ministers and SAPMs are assigned to throw filth on news channels and Twitter. Nothing more or less.

Apart from NRO, past corruption, billions offshore, and inflation; they have delivered ZERO. You want to defend that, defend it. Lick. Gag. Whatever you like.

Thirdly, as said before, this government is not even in power. I don’t actually blame them. They are clueless dummies. Memes. Jokers. Defending their uniformed bosses all the time; who are running businesses, civil institutions, foreign policies, security state’s narrative, Covid-19, foreign funds, real estates, and what not.

Lastly, Biden is for the US. Not for Pakistan. Try to get this.

So, Mr. Hypocrite! Take a deep breath. Inhale for 10 seconds. Now, exhale for 10 seconds. Push your fingers down your throat. Gag yourself. Good. Now vomit.

Hazara Bleeds… Again

Jam Kamal, the incumbent-incompetent Chief Minister of Balochistan, expressed his grievance on murder of 11 coal miners in Splinji. The clueless CM didn’t even know that the butchering happened in Mach area and not Splinji. But I guess, even he knows, who cares. It’s bleeding so consistently in the region that it’s hard to track locations.
 
Hazara is being targeted for its ethnicity for over a decade. Thousands have been killed. People have mourned and the state has condemned. For nothing. Because the killers were nurtured and raised under the state. Proxy outfits for proxy wars to make sure the system remains insecure.
 
These outfits have been owned and disowned at will. For Dollars – in both cases – too. They have been used to wreak havoc whenever necessary, and they have been targeted and killed in other scenarios. The double game – of keeping snakes at the backyard – is so complex that it’s hard to have a clear narrative of what is actually happening.
 
That’s why, of all the problems, there is one problem. Of all the evil leaves, there is only one root-cause.
 
Anyway.
 
The other day, people were asking for solutions. Well, for that, you need to recognize the problem first. That’s the first step.
 
The second step is to identify the troublemakers – the perpetrators. And here, you will cover yourself with green blanket.
 
The third step is to have a democratic view to the solution. Involving civil bodies. Civil Parliament. And that’s exactly where the whole dream collapses.
 
But you can resist and protest. With words. With gestures. With actions. And sometimes, with silence too.
 
Have a look in history. The people you quote today, were those who dissented. The people you praise today, were those who were not in majority. The people you are proud of, took the lone-righteous-path. And here, you are quoting poets of revolution while sailing the ship of Zalim in bloody waters.
 
When Imaam Ahmad bin Hambal was imprisoned, one of the prison guards came to him and asked him:
 
“O Abu ‘Abdillah! The hadith that is narrated regarding the oppressors and those that aid them – is it authentic?”
He said: “Yes.”
The prison guard then said: “So, am I considered to be an aide of the oppressors?”
Imam Ahmad replied: “No. The aides of the oppressors are those that comb their hair, and wash their clothes, and prepare their meals, and buy and sell for them. As for you, you are one of the oppressors themselves.” (Source: ‘Manaqib al-Imam Ahmad’ by Ibn al-Jawzi; p.397)
 
How much blood is necessary?
How much blood is collateral damage?
How much blood a motherland needs?
Are people for the land or the land for people?
 
With that, and with spilled blood, we have nothing else to do. We will mourn, as usual. For some days. Until another massacre will shake us from our deep slumber.
 
Press snooze.

Police Brutality & State Terrorism

Police brutality and Rangers’ violence in Karachi: Ignored.

State brutality and killing of students and young men in Balochistan: Ignored.

FC brutality in the whole western belt: Ignored.

State criminals of Sahiwal incident: Pardoned.

444 encounters in Sindh: Hushed.

Now police brutality in Federal. Islamabad. A young man killed mercilessly. Because system allowed this. State allowed this. Gaps allowed this.

17 bullets.

So, incidents happen. Young die. Old gets older and get promotion after promotion for their violent loyalties.

Don’t mind but APS happened because…

Don’t mind. Don’t mind. You can’t. Anyway.

This land, is a windmill of martyrs. We make and sell martyrs. Sometimes individually and sometimes in bulk. Here and there and everywhere. We know how to snooze. We know how to stay numb and dumb. And we are addicted to tears of mothers. Nothing shakes us anymore.

Till next episode, buzz off!

Happy Old Year Marla!

It was tough to find bank details and transactions of 1990s regarding Asghar Khan case. But it was easy to find details of money laundering, corruption, transport rent, breakfast bills and movie tickets from 1970s and 1980s.

It was easier to get humiliated, defeated and dissected than to talk and accept the East.

It was tough to investigate Benazir murder case. But it was easy to hang Bhutto on a controversial murder case.

It was easy to clean the crime scene in Rawalpindi, and easier to blame all gagged puppets who followed.

It’s easy to call back the absconder in London than the absconder in Dubai.

It’s easy to kill traitors here and there, around the rivers; but it’s tough to keep the actual terrorists in custody.

It’s easy to encounter 444 than to call the one in the Supreme Court.

It’s easy to impose, kill, loot and settle abroad; than to get raped to settle abroad.

It’s easy to challenge expatriates to come back to get murdered than agree to disagree.

It’s easy to abduct, kill and dump them than to give them equal civil rights.

It’s easier to shot, burn, and kill than actual blasphemy. Blasphemy for the sake of blasphemy.

It’s easier to censor and label than to listen.

It’s easier to burn a temple than to protect one.

It’s easier to be an apologist and status quo asshole, than to shake conscious alone.

It’s easier to sleep corrected than to stand corrected.

A little politics. A little religion. An ultimate combination. Some cocaine. Some threat. All done.

The vicious cycle of imposed-democracy is here again. Again? You may debate this and that, with ifs and buts, and blame the puppets here and there; without understanding the root-cause.

It’s 2021. Same like 1990s! A little ‘naya’ and a little reformed. With a new joker as a scapegoat.

Anyway. Happy Old Year Marla!

Questions?

If Karima Baloch was a traitor and was killed by Indians; then why didn’t the news channels cover it? You know when news channels don’t cover a story?
 
I know you know.
 
Do you know when people look abroad for their local issues?
According to your definition of treason, why do people become traitors? Why does a whole locality become treacherous?
 
Were we traitors when we asked for Pakistan?
 
Were Bangali – 55% of the population – traitors in 1971? Can a majority be labeled as traitor? If yes, doesn’t that kill the whole purpose of a state? Or a nation state?
 
Why do we like exactly the same thing in our neighborhood – like Khalistan Movement – but brutally hate the same one at home?
 
Why do we like foreign authors who criticize their governments – like Arundhati Roy – but hate our own similar critics for exactly the same reason?
 
Why do we prefer liberal governments in the West and non-liberal government at home?
 
And – again – why are news channels mute on certain incidents and issues? Why are thousands of people -who disagree under the banner of PTM – not part of the news; but a radical preacher talking about blood and hate is telecasted live?
 
We mourn APS every year. But we don’t shake our souls when we all know Ehsan Ullah Ehsan’s episode. No question asked.
 
Is there a standard? Or is there only hypocrisy? Sheer hypocrisy.
 
Questions are the same. Answers may vary. You can have your own version of answers. Sometimes, it is hard to land. Sometimes, it is not. But do analyze. Listen. Read. And have an opinion on things which are overt and covert at the same time.

We Didn’t

The kids were taken brutally. One by one for hours. Till 144. Or 145. Or 146. We are not sure.

The blood was telecasted. On TV Channels. On social media. An alarming security situation was created.

A narrative was set: We are at war and we are at the losing end.

Constitution amended. Budget enhanced. War approved.

This is how the business of war works. With blood. With collateral damage.

If we had been conscious and righteous enough; we would have taken them by collars for the security lapse.

We didn’t.

Then we saw the mastermind – Ehsan Ullah Ehsan – escape. We should have taken them by collars again.

We didn’t.

Then we saw the commission report of the APS incident. A slap on the face of all the parents around. We should have taken them by collars.

We didn’t.

Maybe we are deadbeat now. We see kids get raped daily. We see their faces. We see their mutilated dead bodies. And we have become numb. A little hue and cry after some time and that’s it. We are done.

So, here we are. Dead. Consciously, knowingly, deliberately, physically, and spiritually.

May heaven fall on us. And bury our stinking coffins.

EU DisinfoLab

While we – not we – were abducting people, silencing dissent, composing songs, producing movies, fighting on Twitter, and lecturing about 5th generation warfare; the neighbor has actually been fooling the whole world successfully since 2005.

For 15 years, the neighbor has been manipulating the UN and the EU. Even with dead participants. We – not we –were making sensitive tapes for political gains. A dime here, a dime there. A dummy here and a traitor there. Ludo kinda stuff.

And then, you yourself become a victim. See, what happened to Sheikh Rasheed. Became prey to his own bosses. This is sad and disgusting. Principally speaking, that’s no one’s business. Instead of the victim, shame the criminals who trap politician and judges and activists like that. No one should degrade, humiliate, ask for resignation or anything else from Sheikh Rasheed based on this episode. No one should. But, the loud-mouth won’t be spared, I guess.

Anyway, back to business.

Who exposed the neighbor? Number 1? No. Not those who were abducting people, silencing dissent, composing songs, producing movies, fighting on Twitter, and lecturing regularly about 5th generation warfare; but a foreign NGO.

These two South Asian countries have serious basic issues. Poverty, hunger, malnutrition, stunting, health crisis, millions out of school children, farmers’ issues, inflation, water crisis, intolerance, discrimination, and what not. Yet the two neighbors are always fighting with each other for vanity. Spending billions on weapons. Spending billions on manipulation. Spending billions on propaganda to keep cash-cows – like Kashmir – alive.

Business. Nothing more and nothing less.

Sometimes the business flourishes on narratives of patriotism and nationalism. Other times, religion becomes the key ingredient. And it sells. Always.

As Manto said, a hungry human is a hungry human. Not Muslim or Hindu.

By the way, you must be aware of the farmers of India. But do you know anything about farmers of Okara?

Nonetheless, congratulations for now. It’s not a victory for being stupid and foolish for 15 years, but ok. Even the exposé has come from abroad. But you don’t get this.

As Pink Floyd sang: I have become comfortably numb.

Random Numbness (December 2020)

Not long ago, a ‘boy’ was asked about his million dollar pizzas in a TV show, very politely. He left hanging. Literally ran away. He was not even grilled till then.

And that interview was in Urdu.

But – for federal reasons – Ishaq Dar became the only achievement for the government this year. So much so that the ban was lifted to give some air to ARY. Huge success.

After all, it served the imposed narrative. The idiot Dar proved to be an asset for apologists.

Better to have an intelligent enemy than an idiot friend. Dar’s case was uglier.

Or maybe the perfect idea of interviewing is two exactly same idiots as interviewer and interviewee. Like Hamza Ali Abbasi and the PM discussing family matters. Well, I do agree with the PM. He is very well experienced, at least in this field, by all means.

Or maybe the interviewer can be an interviewer and interviewee at the same time. Like Kamran Khan questioning and then answering. And PM nodding, as is his official duty.

By the way, there was another BBC interview of General Durrani. You didn’t watch that obviously. It was pretty raw.

On the exact same scale, we have successes and we have failures. One interview was of the oppositions’ success and another was of the government’s. One exposed the government and the other one exposed the opposition.

With an idiot ruling the country – not ruling though – with duffers behind the curtains – ruling though – with loudmouth ministers and senators, dumb opposition; we have idiotocracy for the herd. And the herd – public-at-large – is dumb-fucked. Choosing sides of either him or her, and forgetting their own selves.

Let’s proceed collectively. The perception is of biases only. Let me give you an example:

There is a guy. Who ruled this country. For long. Has properties in Pakistan, UK, and Dubai. Has billions in accounts. Was convicted. Ran away. Medical reasons. Hidden abroad like a coward.

That guy can be Nawaz for some.
That guy can be Musharraf for others.

Bias. Equally guilty idiots are the ‘selected’ ruling party as are the opposition.

One thing for sure, without bias, is that all the stakeholders failed even after agreeing and praising each other. With the federal government, three provincial governments, and the establishment on one page; things as smooth as Michael Jackson’s criminal, things got messier. They all – together – failed to deliver even basics. Apart from gimmicks like banning and unbanning TikTok, what do they have achieved?

As reiterated before, the backing is for the idea. The idea of democracy. For whatever reasons – vested or invested – PDM stands right at the moment. There is this thin line and you have to stand corrected. You can throw these out later with mere votes. The one PDM is standing against, are in power since 1947, and they cannot be thrown out through ballot. Not even when they lose or are humiliated.

A little diversion.

People stood individually in the past, which always amazes me. How on earth they had this courage to stand in the ugliest of times? Some were abducted. Some got killed. Some never returned. And some were found mutilated. Yet this motherland kept on giving birth to the souls who stood right, even alone.

Sometimes I ask myself, why do mothers in Palestine and Kashmir and Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan give birth? Why do they bring new lives in such harsh times? And then I see these amazing souls who stand alone without a thought of the consequences.

Not like those who sit in front of the PM and lick for hours in recorded interviews. Not like the PM himself who negated every single stance of his when he was talking about public, and lost everything to be on the seat he is. Not these for-sale souls.

Thanks to all the mothers and women who keep on nurturing the generation next even when they know the risks. Thank you to mothers in Palestine and Kashmir and Iraq and Syria and Afghanistan and Pakistan and everywhere around the world.

Adios!

CSS – Essay, English & The Intellect

Passing essay paper of CSS exam is a different game. You have to be on next level (of cramming contemporary essays) and then to pray for the luck.

Out of 10 topics, you have to go for the one. And 80% of people go for the same topic. Because thats the exact one which was in all the cramming books.

Like, give them a chance to write on women empowerment, and you will see 20,000 feminists writing the exactly same thing, at the same time, at the same day, with the same quotes.

And then 99% fail. Isn’t it amazing?

Then comes the ugliest part: those who pass – the top 1% cream of Pakistan – become ACs, DCs and Secretaries. Who issue poorly drafted letters and make a joke of themselves in public. The same public they degrade and avoid.

Like DC Lahore.

Apparently, the cream is rotten. There is no top 1%. The game is for nothing but a ‘pakki nokri’ with a house, a car, some staff and some lickers. All of them joking about the ‘intellect’ behind his/her back.

See any public department. Pick any. Transport, education, health, revenue, lands, planning, development, higher education, communication, works, roads, IT… any.

You will see the clowns with lickers all around, nodding and agreeing to rotten ideas. But the joke is on you with your money and your assets.

Establishment, is after-all establishment.

Now a personal story:

His highness appeared to test himself, without any book or academy. When the whole world was writing about China being taya-abu, his highness opted for “Blasphemy”. Wrote personal views and used not only English and Urdu quotes, but also Punjabi poetry.

Guess what? 65. That’s what his highness scored in the Essay. Fortunately, failed Preci and became forever indebted to The Lord for not becoming a suited-booted-joke.

But sometimes I do think about jokers all around, agreeing to my out-of-the-box and game-changing ideas, and praising my intellect and philosophy of life. Who cares what they say behind my back? Losers!
