We live in a time, place and environment where every action and non-action of ours results in consequences. These penalties change the way we recognize world, its people, life and our future. We than try to fight it, with ourselves and others, we try to change it, for better or worse, but in the end, it doesnt even matter. It looks like someone is mocking us. This is not our world.
I think we live in a world of other people, who can detain them within their stare, reducing them to...

Pakistan will finally have Elections and we are happy about it. It seems that the elections will bring stability and harmony in the country. I sincerely hope it does because country needs it.
What bothers me is why are we not talking about issues? It seems that the entire cycle is dominated by personalities and whether they should be elected or removed.
I think it is terrible state of affairs and we, the people, should be blamed for it. We have not made issues the...
Sometimes I wonder why do I watch this pathetic sport? It does not facinate me, infact bores me to death. Yes, there are some matches that are thrilling, but that is due to players who have already accomplished extraordinary feats.
Before this low point in Cricket, there was a time when it was filled with super stars. When scoring a hundered in Test or ODI was a feat for some special players. When ground strokes, cuts, sweeps and drives were common. Right now anyone can make a fifty....

Hillary campaign started after 2004 victory for President Bush and Republicans. Entire democratic base was looking for someone who can energize the democratic base, especially the youth vote. They wanted the Clinton years.
I always felt that despite Hillary being intelligent, smart and well read on many issues is not the ideal candidate who can appeal to America or rest of the world. She is more of a political celebrity than a great politician. Moreover, she panders alot than sticks...

Folks, I just did a great thing. An American who came from an overnight flight was really tired and in a hurry. He left to his hotel and in the process forgot his wallet. I, after sometime, found out and quickly went to the place where he was staying and gave him his wallet back. He had all the money and credit cards in it. He was sleepy and tired so only could say "thanks, thank you very much."

Internet has given us a window to the world. I think it is one of the fastest and easiest ways to reach across the globe. However, there are many problems on internets. I think it has spoiled us in a way that we believe changing world is just a click away.
My advice is not to let go of emotion while discussing issues. Its not like you have to see or live with that person. The best way is to give advice and see the response. If you keep hitting the dead end, there could be two reasons...

One of my favorite movies of all time, The Graduate, had this song. Original, catchy and unforgetable.
Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine
Tell her to make me a cambric shirt
(On the side of a hill in the deep forest green)
Parsely, sage, rosemary & thyme
(Tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground)...
