The Way I See It

I'm not trying to justify the wrongs President Zardari has done. I mean to highlight the need for national interest over growing frustration. Emotional instability reigns.

I have reached Multan which is going to be my base as I will move forward towards flood stricken districts of South Punjab to see how my countrymen are coping with the disaster.

I can imagine Taliban workers shouting "All those who adhere to our brand of Islam, line up for aid. Anyone who dares to defy us, can go drown in the raging waters."

News anchoring is quite underrated in Pakistan. People regard it as merely reading a script. A month into anchoring, and I’ve realized what a misconception this is.

Working towards helping poverty-stricken street children help themselves rise out of their condition requires a team to make this idea a reality.

The title track Andher was disappointing. The music and angry-guy lyrics were predictable and the only thing I really liked about the song was the short guitar solo at the end.

American Muslims are debating whether or not to celebrate Eid if it is to fall on September 11. Why are they so defensive? They have done nothing wrong.

Muslims countries have low GDPs, literacy rates and are known for corruption and terrorism. Has the OIC failed to support the Muslim world leaving it to fend for itself?

We are sick of our country’s miseries. We are tired of hearing more bad news. Do you blame us? My consciense pricks at me but I shrug it off. Enough is enough.

The year was 2008 and I was part of a team trying to assess rehabilitation work since the 2005 earthquake in Balakot. While they have complaints, the people are not bitter.
