First IV
First IV in life. The world is different from the other side. But not bad. Prick. Wrong prick. Prick. Tapes. Fluids going inside making your life better with one drop at a time. Old ones. Young ones. Very young ones. The very young ones make you angry. Question. Question the whole process of SOPs since…

Happiness is Compulsory
Happy. To be happy is a compulsory subject. To be hopeful is compulsory too. To lose patience is optional with low scoring probability. But to be happy is compulsory. Even if you are not happy. Even if you are suffering. Because suffering is life. Both happiness and suffering are comparative. Everything is comparative. Health. Wealth.…

Too Orwellian
Rao Anwar – who’s known for 444 encounters – just had an interview on Geo. Just like Ehsan Ullah Ehsan – APS mastermind – once had an interview. Now free. Or escaped. Whatever. Manzoor Pashteen cannot be interviewed. Of course. Too constitutional. Too controversial. Ali Wazir – lost 17 family members in terrorism – cannot…

Consent
Consent. The big argument. Yet, we are thrown in this world without consent. To suffer without consent. Emotionally. Physically. Psychologically. Financially. Socially. Suffer. Till last breath.
