Learning beyond what has been leaked!!!!


These days “V” don’t enquire about headlines but ask about what has been leaked by Wikileaks!

Most of what has come out was already known and has only been verified but it doesn’t matter if the leaked facts are a discovery or Are they based on true facts but what is more important to understand is the way Americans run their intelligence systems!!

America is the largest economy and the only superpower of the world. In order to feed its economy (which had a GDP of 14.3 trillion dollars in 2009 even when it was in the middle of worst Financial crises since great depression of 1930s)it needs raw materials from the third world ,Oil from the Arab world and watch dogs from throughout the world to keep an eye on economies which can challenge its dominance so it suits them to keep control of whatever is happening politically throughout the world. The Intelligence network throughout the world updates Pentagon and Whitehouse about who is gaining popularity and who is actually supposed to be popular to safeguard American Interest in different regions. It might sound a bit far fetched but If Americans are this much concerned about who is ruling a country and which Ruler actually suits the Americans than it is very much possible that they can remove anyone from the scene or can bring in whoever suits them and they can play as Machiavellian as they want to by keeping Generals at their payroll and Public representatives on their funding!

Whatever the little that I know of about history, this is how superpowers have always been. They maintain effective communication systems and are indirectly involved in political maneuvering through money, land, women or victimization. Today when I look at the Americans than I realize that they cant be this successful against nations which have self belief like Germans or Chinese but against only such people who are confused about their true identity like us!!!

Lessons for the teachers!!!


Since the time I started going to school as a student till the time I started going as a teacher, Never for once I doubted about the fact that teacher is final authority in a class room in fact is “The Authority” in a class room. Authority with reference to everything happening in the class and if possible in the minds of the students. Since last two years I have become doubtful if “V” the teachers are carrying our traditional character and are actually doing nothing but surviving rather than seeking joy from the work which "V" do!


“V” the teachers Struggle


To keep the spirit of nationalism alive during teaching when most of the students look determined to leave for abroad and practically work and save for development of other countries.

To keep the individual integrity alive in a society where school teachers are considered to be lower level professionals.

To maintain average standard of living when inflation is making the PAK Rs. more and more worthless.Few days back I came to know about an teacher who is trying to get himself a Visa and a work permit to be a Labour in Italy. Upon query he replied that he is ready to do work as a labour as long as he is earning in Euros which currently have a conversion rate of about Rs 114 per Euro. Apparently the skill of a janitor seems to be of more worth than the education which we get and the honest living which we make.

I guess “V” the teachers have few lessons to learn ourselves.

Education doesn’t guaranty economic prosperity and teachers who are not earning enough need to consider additional sources of income by allocating time and effort in additional activities rather than just waiting for extra coaching opportunities which seem to be fewer than the candidates.

Effective financial planning becomes more important with limited resources so divert resources from nonproductive activities like spending on weddings or consumption items to Asset accumulation like Gold Jewelry or buying real estate through installments.

Take pride in what you are doing !Keep learning! Plan! focus and remember there is always room for the best at the top!!!

Brave or Coward ???




Living In a country where integrity never mattered, A cricketer Running away to save his life seems to be a petty issue. Legal adviser and other officials of Pakistan cricket board are scolding the player for not taking the management into confidence about life threats and are displaying suspicion over this act as being for the objective of getting British residence and support.

There are few factors which are to be considered in this regard.

According to player’s brother, Muhammad Zulqurnain had a multiple Visa of England so staying and working in England was possible for him anyway. Being cricketer he could sign county contracts or second class club cricket.

He gave a statement that under the given circumstances “Nobody” could be trusted. If PCB officials are also included in “Nobody” than is it because they are not strong enough to provide protection or is it because a match fixer could not reach a player without some degree of involvement by the board officials in match fixing?

Muhammad Zulqurnain is married and 24 years of age .His act of running away for life at the start of his international carrier should be condemned as an act of a coward or an act of Bravery as he refused to become another Kamran Akmal !!!?

How/When does mass killing become easy???


Like most of us I also used to argue that whatever the suicidal bombers are being taught by their masters,killing of civilians can never be justified but over a period of time I have learned that in some cases a person is not likely to feel anything for the innocent.

Let’s consider the situations when killing the innocent does not test our conscious

1: Couple of days back when I went back home after a long hard day than I realized that a life partner is such a blessing of God whom you share all the pleasures and sorrows with. A life partner makes you feel loved and you also feel joy in returning the love through your acts of kindness and forgiveness of mistakes. Now if someone suddenly takes away your life partner whom you love or any of your parents who are a source of your faith and peace or may be your children who are the reason you never get tired of working hard at your office than how would you react to acts of that person?

Ans: You would kill the person who killed your family

Many say that suicide bombers come from the areas which are attacked by Drone and apparently the people who are blowing themselves away through suicide bombing are the ones who don’t feel for families of others the way nobody felt for their families which were lost in Drone attacks. When such people come for target study in urban areas than they see economic prosperity and Indifference by bulk of the population towards that part of the country which is attacked by Americans but no body comes for their rescue! So they feel urgency to blow everyone along!

2: Last Ramadan me and two of my friends tried to book an Aftari at Freddy's Cafe and rate of Buffet Aftari was about Rs 1,400 per person. I calculated that an average Pakistani household consumes about 2-3 Kg of flour per day for three meals for a family of about 6 persons. If per Kg flour costs Rs 30 than about Rs 2700 are needed to buy flour for the whole family so practically two people eating at Freddy's Cafe or three people at any other restaurant on M.M Alam road Lahore actually spend an amount on a single meal which can buy flour for an average family for the whole month (Remember in lower socio economic groups Roti is the primary consumption item). If someone is not earning enough even to buy flour than why would he mind blasting Freddy's Cafe rather than watching his family die out of hunger or despair?


Ans: If the person can’t have enough to feed his family than he would kill the people who are overeating and overspending and showing no empathy for his children and family.

American media and society seems to be intolerant towards both of the above mentioned categories of killers but ironically they themselves are no different and represent a third category of killers!

Third type of people who don’t feel while killing the civilians are the ones who kill out of greed (for power, control and authority) and overwhelming desire to display dominance).Such people like Americans don’t feel while killing the “bloody third world civilians” for larger interest of America just like “V’ don’t feel while overeating when millions of people are suffering from hunger and deprivation in the flood struck areas and this way killing continues !
