R “V” suffering (or enjoying) Split personality disorder!!!???

In the last few years I watched couple of movies which were about people suffering from Split personality disorder. List of such movies include A BEAUTIFUL MIND, SHUTTER ISLAND ,BLACK SWAN . Characters suffering from this disease become a different person in a given situation (or in response to a stimulus) and once they come out of the situation than they become usual themselves(the way most of the people know them).Interesting part of this disease is that such people don’t remember anything about what they did while being the “Person in the situation” so practically if they commit a crime or hurt themselves then they would feel innocent after being caught for the crime or would feel hurt without realizing that they have actually hurt themselves.

Couple of days ago I made a similar realization about myself .I was feeling hurt being a PAKISTANI due to the crimes which are committed against my country and nation and then suddenly I realized that I am no different from Asif Ali Zardari or from anyone from the Gang. My own crimes are limited because my power to commit a crime is limited .Same is the case with everyone around me .

From a motor mechanic to a Government officer, From a Doctor to a teacher

Most of us

Compromise on our work ethics

Want to dominate others

Want to be treated differently from the masses

Want to be above the Law

How much crimes “V” commit under such situations depends upon stimulus of Authority and Power, Stronger the stimulus and bigger would be the crime. Due to our “National Personality Disorder” “V” don’t remember the crimes which “V” commit individually while being in the situation and “V” don’t remember that “V” have hurt ourselves(being Pakistani).After committing a crime or hurting ourselves “V” search for the criminal and the savior around us without realizing that both are within us(part of our being).

How killing would stop the killings !

I never realised what a bomb blast is untill I actually heard one at Moon market Iqbal Town,I felt what immages were telling when I actually saw the burned shops.Before that images were just part of the News (worthy of attention for max few seconds and than flipping of pages of newspaper or switching to other channels).Now when I listen to News about Karachi than its easier to visualise how blood gushes out of the body,How women scream and mourn,How it feels to be desprate!How suddenly people become things which are to be burried (disposed off)before moving on with life.

Tonight when I started typing this post than the central idea was that unless C.M Sindh, experience the same sufferings,the bloodshed would not stop in Karachi,Fight between Pathan(who are moving away from north and settling in Karachi)and Urdu Speaking(who don’t want Pathans to settle down as it would affect political dominance of MQM)suits all the stake holders in Karachi!

For MQM this situation delays poulation census so that voter lists are not updated to indicate changes in demographics.

For ANP its an opportunity to counter strike and establish themselves with more seats in Karachi.

For PPP (Sind)it’s a fight between two groups who have settled and occupied a land which originally belongerd to Sindhis so it’s a source of satisfaction for them.

This situation can be immediately stopped and Law enforcing authorities can regain control Only and only If someone from the Government loses some of his loved ones!

(No Bulshit statement would come by Rehman Malik when his own son would die and Federal Govt will not seek advice for sending rescue teams when CM Sind would be kidnapped and his mutilated boddy would be found in a bag).


People in the power(and people who are indifferent about the country) must taste the sufferings!They must realise that “ what goes around ,comes around!”

BOL !!! (Time to open up!)

BOL was the most awaited MOVIE OF THE YEAR. There were many reasons for having expectations from it. Firstly it was second movie by Shoaib Mansoor after “Khuda Kay Liya” which appealed both masses and classes simultaneously. Second reason was Atif Aslam !(Though one discovers after watching the movie that this movie is not about him at all!)


There is no doubt about the level of entertainment it offers. Subject, Story, music , performances and overall presentation all gel well with each other. The movie discusses how hypocratic and shallow our value systems are and how do “V” use religion only when it suits us!!!In order to present the true picture of the society ,Director Shoiab Mansoor has freely used and censor board approved use of abusive language, names of the sects, some humor about religious beliefs and practices.
All of this could have been easier to swallow had the movie been classified for mature audiences only. It becomes a very uncomfortable situation to handle when children and elders both are around and you are listening raw and blunt local expressions related to prostitutes and family extension.


My estimate is that the budget of the movie would be around 15 million Rs. It has been released in 23 cinemas nationwide and the kind of opening it has received by the audiences, it should be able to recover its investment within one week. It would send very welcoming signals to new film makers who want to make films but are reluctant due to social and film industry conditions. This movie is also expected to be released in India by Eros International so lot of revenue can be expected for the makers of this move who made a very non commercial movie(which occasionally sounded like sponsored from NGOs and Family planning commission of Pakistan!).

After observing how Indians and Iranis have used cinema for their national interest, I feel “V” all were wrong to laugh at and ignore local cinema. Film makers like Shoaib Mansoor have actually showed us that when there is a will than there is a way so inspite of all the social unrest and slump at Lollywood, A movie(without any skin exposure) has actually pulled the crowd back to cinemas.

Pakistan beyond Pakistan!

So what is next for Pakistan?

Army failed when hostages were taken at G.H.Q

Air Force failed when Americans came and left through air without being intercepted for Osama Operation

Navy failed when planes were destroyed at navel airbase

Hope from legislature is fading and “V” never looked up to the Executive/Parliament for rescue.

People failed when religion and personal opinions got mixed up and value systems got shattered

All of this could be avoided had “V” not assumed that Army, Judiciary,Madrisas or other institutions are above criticism and audits. They are free to interfere in electoral process for keeping REAL public representatives away from Parliament.

When “V” criticize Army than its not the operational staff from an ordinary soldier(Sipahi)to a colonel but Ranks of brigadier and above which apparently are not focused on their responsibilities. Army’s involvement in Politics has surely affected its professional competency as Pakistan’s history of Wars in Dhaka and Kargil suggests.

It is now becoming a commonly known fact that Nukes and Gwader port are the reasons due to which America, Israel, Iran and India are becoming involved in Pakistan. Supposedly these countries have planned and funded to create unrest in Pakistan and as a result “V” as a nation are just not settling down economically, Socially and politically.

In spite of disappointment “V” must backup our forces so that they feel stronger while replying to the might of USA and Europe. Now a days “War of Bader” (Gazwa Bader in which 313 Muslims defeated mighty enemy with God’s help)seems to be an out of fashion and logic reference but I feel that it is just the right reference while considering to stand up against America.

Like everyone on the media ,”V” are doing nothing but discussing the magnitude of failure for the state but “V” must realize that 180 million can not migrate, If “V” actually accept American offer/threat and give up our weapons of mass destruction than “practically “V” would be redoing what general Niazi did in 1971.

Hey People! “Pakistan is our country and our recognition even if “V” migrate from the country. Our children born in America and Europe would be Britain based Pakis OR British Pakis or Paki origin Americans so lets not give up what ”V” have(our identity!)! Either “V” like it or not but “V” need to be different from our Rulers.”V” need to own the country and everything about it (either good or bad).If something needs to be changed than practically "V" should do something or just shut up!

Lets believe that there our good times ahead and yes “V” have accepted that “V” will be tested (apparently within the next 12 months). Lets be ready that survival of a nation roots from the sacrifices which come by free will, May it be in the form of loosing Life, Loss of valuables or unacknowledged acts of heroism.

My country men! Lets decide that human life is not more precious than the country(unless a life is needed for the country)and lets accept that if the Americans are coming than they loose more than “V” do! ”V" are a nation of 180 million believers and it would take more than weapons to defeat us!
