the week that was

lots of stuff about the charter of democracy...the charters alright but one thing that came to mind was that theres talk about military and their control and allocation of land yet no mention of land reform...think that is one important if not the most important reform needed in this country especially if democracy has to flourish here.

fazlur rehmans broken from qazi...qazi and imran khan are going to do the long marches thingies on their own...dunnoo whether ppl will turn out in this heat though..

speaking of qazi and jammat islami their student wing is up in arms over the expulsion of their leader from punjab university..its about time someone took action against these people.why it took so long is beyond me...these people have terrorised the student body for far too long...parhna hai to parho warna get out!!

have an interesting story to tell..will provide further insight into the psyche of this natiion...recently prices of pulses had skyrocketed in pakistan..channa was imported from abroad and the landed cost at karachi was approx. rs.15/kg(not sure how they measure channa)..the market price before arrival of this channa was rs.40/kg..what did the importer do..sold the channa at the same wholesale price prevailing in the market...as a result no slump in channa prices while dealer walked off with big fat profits..i guess if as a nation we can raise prices of commodities during ramzan this isnt the least bit surprising...

geo is doing a special on the hudood ordinance..thank God..theyve regained some respect in my eyes...that abomination of an ordinance is a blot on our collective arses..countless women are in jail cos they could not produce four credible muslim witnesses to testify on their behalf that they were indeed raped..aarrghh!!

google released a study...pakistan and india tied for nations that searched the word sex most on the internet..phillipines and believe it or not saudi arabia came in first for search of gay porn LOL!!..on the brighter side pakistan and india also came in first for search of learning to speak english...too much repressed sexual energy in this nation...khair lets not go there

budget is around the corner...every industry it seems is losing money and becoming globally uncompetetive...everyone wants tax breaks and subsidies...funny how one month before the budget everything seems to be going to the dogs...khair to be honest energy costs are high...hence the need for dams and yes my sindhi friends tht includes kalabagh...nuclear energy,gas exploration all need to be expedited...however i would love for some subsidy to the poor especially when it comes to essential food items...prices have gone up way too much...

football world cup is near and that has me excited..for the record my team is england...im very happy for west indies cricket these days...not only are they winning matches again but theyre beating india which had grown a little too big for its boots in the process..yipee!!
