Deploring omens

Where are the things heading again? That’s the question on everyone’s mind at the moment as the deploring situation that is prevailing in the country which has been ravaged by a lot of unwanted things in the past two years.
With the damages of the current flooding still to be fully assessed and measured there has been rise in the ever so unwanted bomb attacks after the hiatus of a few months. The major of them has been the assassination of FC commandant Sifwat Ghayour and the Lahore incident. People in general at the moment are confused that is this the wake of another turbulent time that Pakistan has to face, only time will tell this but the omens are not looking good again …

The Why’s and what’s!

It’s been some time now that a constant surge of why’s and what’s have been ringing in my head about a lot of issues and it’s long before I get the answer to any of those. Most of the why’s and what’s are concerned with the current state of situation that is prevailing for the last couple of years, in fact three to be exact but during the last one and half it has gathered pace.
First and foremost among this has been related to the militant insurgency and the war of terror that has been mobilized for the better part of this decade as for some it’s just one or two years old but in fact Pakistan has been at the battlefront since the American invasion of Afghanistan back in 2001. It has spread slow and gradually to most parts of our beloved home land and gave us some intense moments too during the guerilla warfare of Swat and its aftermath especially on Khyber-Pukhtoonkhwa, the Talibanization in Southern Punjab and the deteriorating situation of Baluchistan.
Secondly, there are a lot of why’s and what’s that can be bombarded upon the fragile and self centered political leadership (as if we have any) that we are blessed with which I believe frankly speaking is on a mission to suck out the last ounce of blood from the moral-less and conscienceless nation that we have turned into like a leech.
Lastly, the ever deteriorating social balance of Pakistan may it be our vulnerability to the natural catastrophes’ like the earth quakes of 2005 or the recent floods or social altercations like the Sialkot Incident or the demise of sports i.e. falling standards of hockey and squash which we were once champions or the clear failure of cricket to politics, grouping and now match fixing for some spot fixing.
These are just a few of the aspects of these why’s and what’s that are hampering us and eating away the roots of our bear sovereignty and challenging us on every possible step of life but one thing is for sure we’re far from having answers to these why’s and what’s.
God bless Pakistan.
