"V" as Characters ( Lost Guides ! )

This character(of lost Guides) is very commonly found in our society. These are the people who apparently “know everything” and have desire to “guide everyone” “except themselves”. They are under achievers by social standards and apparently their desire to speak on every matter and offer views on every affair roots from the fact that they at their subconscious level feel guilty on their laziness/lack of willpower yet want to show command over others and on their own life. I have started from this character because I observed it closely in the mirror and found it very common in society. At times I feel surrounded by non-doers who just live and breathe for surviving next 24 hours for the next 30 days. They live with Dreams but without Goals and targets. They live without doing what they really want to do. They either never discover their true passion or actually make compromises for not pursuing it and this keeps them from utilizing their true potential. Being under achievers they talk quickly and rapidly in every gathering and at every occasion to escape from their sense of guilt while meeting those who have recognition. Lost Guides are likely to display signs of anxiety like nervous leg shake, biting nails,frequently combing hair through fingers etc.Some lost guides find escape by digging and burying themselves under loads of knowledge which is practically of no use for them. Such characters are common because very few of us actually timely discover what we are born with and what we want to do for the rest of our life.Part of the problem is lack of social acceptance for many interests like film making or sports etc due to which these people don't take a chance on what is socially unacceptable.Generally elders for children never try to identify or develop skills suitable for a temperament like guiding those who are not good with figure fudging towards a suitable career. State of our nation is a proof of how common this character is!Everyone thinks that he/she knows that what is the right path , Everyone suggests it to others but very few follow it themselves!

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!”
