ME AGAINST ME !!!

Me: Inam do you think that things would ever get better here?

Me: (After some deep thought) Yes!

Me :How?and please remember that my Canadian immigration has been accepted so I want a neutral opinion rather than an opnion coming out of Patriotism.

Me: Well I think there are very valid reasons to be optimistic about ''our'' future.

Me: Like what???

Me? On behalf of God whoever (or whatever)decides fate of this country,apparently has decided to introduce few basic reforms. First two reforms were 1:Introduction of Free media and 2:Establishment of NADRA Data base.Third one is coming the form of Electoral reforms under which about 30.75 million bogus/fake votes have been cancelled.

Me:So how long would it take for all of this to have an effect?

Me:About five years!

Me:and during these five years????

Me: ‘’V’’ all will be tested!!!

Me: Why should't i leave now with my family for Canada and come back when(If ever)this country becomes a better place for living!

Me : ???!!!???

‘’V’’ ALL WILL BE TESTED BECAUSE NOW SYSTEMS CANT DELIVER.ECONOMIC INSTABILITY WOULD BECOME JUSTIFICATION FOR ALL SORT OF CRIMES(AND FOR ALL SORT OF PUNISHMENTS).PEOPLE WOULD FEEL CONFUSED ABOUT RELIGION AND NATIONALISM WILL BE QUESTIONED.APPARENTLY THESE LONG FIVE YEARS HAVE JUST STARTED!

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.
