  • The New Woke

    Bajwa. He’s the most democratic Chief I’ve ever seen. Pizza. No. He’s clean. I’m satisfied because he has written a letter to me. He should head CPEC and make Papa John proud. Ghafoor. My 5th Gen good boy. Faiz. Umm! Too chief to be good. Three years have passed? Jesus! Didn’t realize that. Let me…

  • The General Problem & Mohsin Naqvi

    There are two ways: 1. Invest millions. Campaign day and night. Speak a lot. Bicker. Argue. Work hard. Hold the right testes in left hand. Win elections. Become a CM. 2. Fraud with taxes. Make business. Earn a name. Make a fortune. Sit with the wrong people in the right positions. No need of elections.…

  • The Conversation – Appointing CPM

    Nawaz: I want Dar to be the Caretaker PM. Zardari: No. We had SS. Now it’s our turn. Fazlu: Where’s my turn? Zardari: You are not playing. Asim: Decide and let me know. So I may reject. Dar: Make me the CPM. I will stay neutral. I promise. Zardari: Will you get the surgery done?…

  • Poles against Polls

    Even in martial laws, elections were held. Engineered or faked, but couldn’t be ignored. Such was the power of polls. Against poles. Ayub held elections in 1962. ‘Defeated’ Fatima Jinnah. Yahya held elections in 1970. Didn’t like the results. Dissected. Zia held non-party elections in 1985 to bring Junejo. But Junejo proved to be more…

  • For Now…

    3-4 years down the road, PMLN would be facing these laws / amendments that they happily passed in recent days. They will soon be crying, like they did in the past, but then they won’t have anymore support for their crocodile tears. Some of the seniors would be jailed. By the same powers beyond the…

  • Lists

    In the last scene of ‘The Trial of Chicago 7’, Hayden takes out a document in the court and begins reading the names of the 4, 752 U.S. troops killed in the Vietnam War since the beginning of that trial, in front of the Judge. That was outrageous because the Judge asked him to be…

  • Windmill of Martyrs

    If you take over the entire industry of martyrdom; no one can beat you. Just have a monopoly in this specific industry and you will become indispensable. Those you declare martyrs, are martyrs. Those you failed defending, are martyrs. Those dead in collateral damage, are martyrs.School kids, martyrs. Customers, martyrs. Teachers, martyrs. Blunders, martyrs. Business,…

  • Evidences Required in Pakistan

    Rape: Four witnesses. Or a video in good print. DNA test is a big no. Forced Conversion: A video message at gun point will dismiss the case instantly. Murder: First of all, a dead body. Then it depends on the murderer. 444 can’t convict. 1 can. Treason: A tweet would be enough. Blasphemy: A blame…

  • The Mazaris

    Who needs son(s) when they have a daughter like Imaan Mazari? But then, there are some who have neither. When the kids were fleeing the country, she returned from abroad to step into the wild arena. After all, gladiators live, fight, and even perish in the arena. How many differences does she has with her…

  • Army Act… Again.

    Made during the British Raj. Adopted with some amendments in 1950. Amended over the years and decades. Bestowed with significant powers under 21st Amendment of the Constitution – after the APS incident – and then extended for once. And now, just when the country was morally and financially down to its historic rock bottom, the…
