Murree is a beggars paradise. Most of them have a more hands on approach to begging than the common brand of ’de de na’ people. These people are trained professionals and have evolved various new techniques.
A dangerously retarded baba and cheap bubblegums, after the jump.
This poem I wrote is dedicated especially for all those who think they can change the fate of Pakistan! That’s you!!
Read on ahead, the poem that has been described as “Sounds like Iqbal all over again!” by Waisybabu.
This a poem by Khalil Gibran, a Lebanese America poet/writer. From it’s title, you may already have deduced what it is: a poem indicating the characteristics of a pitiful nation…
What made me publish this poem on artsyHANDS is how, coincidentally, we as a nation can relate to the qualities mentioned by Gibran.
They say good poetry is timeless. Khalil wrote this early in the 1900s (published in 1933 in The Garden of the Prophet) and it almost seems like it was written today for Pakistan’s current situation!
My uncle, Saad Altaf, specially asked for this to be published on artsy.
Read on ahead why Saad so specially asked for this to be published!
Getting lots of text messages about blasts and warnings, are we? Yeah, those texts that state that terrorists will use you and me for their next bomb blast. These text messages are total bullshit. Case-in-point, a message I received from a friend:
ISPR Pakistan iz warning dun answer calls fRm unKnoWn numbers or cAll bck… bomb ko kisi numbr se attach kia ja raha hai… plz c0nvEy diS msg FASSTT!!!
It seems like it was written by three different persons before finally reaching me. Observe the changes in spellings as they go from zero-to-fail in under five seconds.
ISPR Pakistan would never warn you through text messages. You’re just not that important.
Blasts, blasts and some more blasts. Shehzad Roy was right: Pakistan waakaee ek naazuk morr say guzarr rahaa hai. We’re at the point where nobody knows where the next bomb will explode. Everyone is the target.
Terrorists attacks were previously limited to Government offices but now, the terrorists (be they the Taliban, America or RAW) are targeting students – the Talib-e-Ilm.
I don’t remember Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) or Allah stating or even so much as hinting to harm innocent students!
What kind of dumb idiots are exploding these bombs!?
I won’t be giving reasons as to what the terrorists are doing wrong. Instead, I’ll tell you something else: the end result… Which is something rather interesting.
Read on ahead.
“The favorites lost the match”, “New Zealand defeated Pakistan in the semi-final.. WHY!?” “Pakistan is out of the tournament. Sigh. The team screwed up again”
It does sound very disappointing. After having won so many matches earlier, Pakistan just couldn’t go through to the finals to face Australia. But the fact of the matter is, there is no need to be disappointed.. at all.
Read why, after the jump.

No disrespect for the team in any way. It was simply a Kanye West “I’ma let you finish” meme. We love the team. Just poking fun at some of their antics. 
Kidnapping v. Taking away of a person against the person’s will.
I always thought that kidnapping was merely just pish-posh that could happen only in the world of television and action dramas flicks. Ha! That was, of course, well before I was kidnapped myself.
It was one heck of an ordeal. Details of which you’ll read after the jump. By the end I was tired, exhausted and totally shocked.
In the end though, all that matters really is that I am now safe and sound. Back with my loving family. I thank Almighty Allah for that.

Question: Are Christian citizens in Pakistan treated equal to their Muslim counterparts?
Our Constitution and government would say yes, but fact of the matter is, our very own people view Christians as outcasts.
“You are free – free to go to your temples, mosques or any other place of worship in the state of Pakistan..”
What I personally heard yesterday was perhaps the most shocking piece of discrimination I have witnessed in my life.
