  • Palestine: Another 100-year

    100 years gone by, but the reasoning didn’t change. 100 years ago: We are weak. We lack in education. We don’t invest in research and development. No innovation. No technological advancement. Poor health. Poor personal growth. 100 years later: We are weak. We lack in education. We don’t invest in research and development. No innovation.…

  • Donkey

    He was 22 when she came into this world. That was his time to get what he wanted to get. The whole world. With a grip of his charm and smile. And he did. Anyway, meaning being, she was zero when he was 22. Though zero came in 2018. Back to chronology. He was 26…

  • Random Numbness – Nov 2023

    The whole world is going down. See local. Nawaz of 2013 was better than IK of 2018. But the current Nawaz is the worst form of Nawaz himself. Even though the film of filth is being run by the boys, the cast is being degraded without any substitutions. Then we have hypocritical pains. We didn’t…

  • Forced Migration

    Around 12 million migrated during the Partition of 1947. Roughly, 6 million had to leave Pakistan and 6 million had to leave India. Most of the migration happened within Punjab – that was once undivided. (The numbers vary according to different sources). That wasn’t a happy migration. The painful stories are part of our literature.…

  • Hear My Plea!

    Hear My Plea: The hypocrisy at national level is not hypocrisy. Apparently. It’s state policy. And its worse than hypocrisy because it leads to bloodshed. But it is hypocrisy. Nevertheless. Ukraine was owned and helped by the West. America felt the pain in particular. But Palestine didn’t ring a bell to them. Not even in…

  • The Natives & The Palestine

    There was an Australian Indigenous Voice referendum on 14th October. For aboriginals – the natives who have been living in Australia for centuries. The referendum rejected the voice. No to aboriginals from Australians. This is a story like Native Americans (Red Indians) in America but a little better. At least Australians are having a debate.…

  • Mint Margarita

    One of the biggest modern day robberies in restaurants is of Mint Margarita. They charge as if they are offering Margaret with the Mint. Prices are like Rs.300 or Rs.400 per glass. Some places offer the same for over Rs.500. All it has is iced water, mint, 7-Up and lemon. Some may add salt. That’s…

  • American Murders

    After Alex Murdaugh’s sentencing, one thing that comes in mind is that even though human history is full of murders but something isn’t right in America right now. Here’s an epiphany: Robbers and thieves murder for food or wealth. They have a reason or motivation, sometimes accidentally; but they do it to gain something or…

  • Russia’s War

    Russia attacked Ukraine in Feb 2022. It’s September 2022. Ukraine is yet to be conquered. Or defeated. How embarrassing is that for the not-so-red army? Let me rephrase. Russia has the biggest arsenal of A-Bombs. It spends around $70 billion annually on its military with active personnel of over 1 million and over 2 million…

  • Queen

    Her majesty is gone. Took too long. His Majesty has taken the throne.And you have His Highness all along. Everything rhymes these days. Cool. By the way, the actual hero who died in recent days was Mikhail Gorbachev of Russia who ruled from 1985 to 1991. He stopped the red bloodshed and made smooth transition…
