Karachi


Bomb Blasts in Karachi. In north nazimabad. I can’t believe it. Children killed. These stupid people should be ashamed of themselves.

PS: I went to Shaadi even after these news. No one cares about the poor. We are shameless consumerists. We need to change big time.

While Shakira is singing ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ and Beyone is finding her ‘Beautiful Liar’, NRP(not responsible pakistanis) Ghulam MQM not-so-rahim and Gunda Bhai Saheb are sounding insanely donkey-ish liar butts. The only good advice for all the constipated fundos are that they should do potties. And I am damn serious.

So for a change, I am not reporting anything. If you want to see my views you can read the post of Unaiza at KMB and then my comments too. For a change, I want to be happy. I love tagging.

Aakhir aaj hi ke din Pakistan azaad kyun nahi huwa.
Happy Independence Day Pakistani People.
Ex-Chief Justice getting the bullshit and all other types of shit that he is now distributing all that shit into the Pakistani Awaam.
Bloody lawyers attacking the press and breaking the expensive cameras again.
Mobile Frequency Hoax which Geo presented as breaking news.
Gumnaam ka Drama aur Saas Bahu Dramas kia kam the Geo ke paas TRP ke liye.
Yeh Independence nahi toh kia hai!

Btw 15×4 Exhibition opened today. Chalo kuch toh acha huwa today.

Har confused Pakistani jo ab kuch zayada hi pak chuka hai aur chicken tikka ki tarah ban gaya hai woh roman aur urdish main hi likhta hai.

Arey, you are 47% Pakistani!
 

Not bad, but not good enough to call yourself a real Pakistani either! You seem more London than Lahore, so why not try wearing a shalwar kameez for a week and maybe that’ll bump up your rating…

How Pakistani are you? (first class number one!)
Create a Quiz

47% Faints! Chalo phir bhi shukhar hai es se zayada nahi hai.

It makes me sad.
It makes me angry-errrr.

Government and Political parties were already my pride-of-the-prejudice and now lawyers have also become blacklisted with their black coats in my list. Fighting with people of your own profession, ripping one fellow lawyer’s clothes and abusing the journalist(comprising a good chunk of international press) with swearing and violence is what they have learned from their education. Aur seekhain ge bhi kia from our useless hopeless and everything-less education system. Is this professionalism?! Sab jaahil hain kasam se, jaise bhi hon har type ke dange fasaad aur buraiyon main no.1 PHDs. Pata nahi kis baat ki shaan manatey hain. Yeh toh political stuff hai, when they make things out of religious biasness tab toh aur sharminda kar dete hain. Civilized and cultured from no angle. Arts is non-existent. Awareness is nil. Neither open-minded nor open-hearted, hote toh thori naa aisa horaha hota. People themselves are gutter. Jab dekho khud ka hi mazaak manatey hain aur phir hastey rehte hain. Pakistanis say why youth thinks they want to leave Pakistan and settle abroad, the answer is because of the bloody system and don’t ever forget it is not only government but people who make the system.

*takes a huge breath*

This time literally.

When it’s raining, and the person sitting next to you in the bus is sleepy, one uncle is continuously talking with a young stranger and the stranger is completely bored and irritated, one person is complaining about the condition of roads, other person is fighting with other person on the year in which it rained the most in Karachi, and I am laughing seeing people’s condition/misery and what is awaiting for me next. Can it be funnier than this?

It rained for I guess only 50 or so minutes or maybe even less and the whole karachi screwed up. The area where I live a.k.a. North was flooding, literally flooding. Sab kuch todh ke rakh diya, khushaal pakistan my foot, jaisa hai aisa bhi rehne dain toh ganeemat hai! Half of me is in the water, muddy, gross, gutter water and that also floating with God knows where will be the potholes. Why the hell did I decide to wear those off-white pants?! By the time, I was home, it was equivalent to light-poo colored. Cars stuck, kids on the road screaming and all helpless. I had to cross roads filled with water. At every crossroad, waited for 10 minutes to figure out how to pass safely. People makes facing, abusing authorities and what not and yours truly is smiling, not only smiling by laughing.

Pehle toh khuda ke vaastey es tarah ki todh podh ban karo. Sewerage lines ban karo taakey humko gutter main rehne ki pakki addat hojaye aur aisey experiences ko hum roz enjoy karein :|

En sab se pehle Cricket ko ban karo. Kasam se hamari nakara team se toh gali main bachey acha khelte and that without any lassi, coach or doping. Coach bichare ko bhi heartache de diya. Coach aur en faarig logon per jitne paise lagate hain utna hi education per lagao phir dekho. Waisey hi I hate cricket, ab toh I hate it even more. Aur hamarey log, they rely on cricket team as if they will change the course of the world. Cricket team jeetay gi toh bhi tumhain kuch nahi milne wala material or immaterial. Agar satta lagaya hoga public ne toh bhi nahi kuch mile ga, ulta paise doob jaye ge kyunke yeh team manhoos hai jaise kyunke saas bhi kabhi bahu thi hai! Sab kuch ban kardo. I guess es law-minister ki besharmi ke baad aur en sab harqaton ke baad mujhe bhi kuch gaaliyaan seekh leni chahiye. Achi investment hogi, it will pay off really nicely I guess. Kaam ayegi sach main. Aur added advantage ban bhi nahi hogi.

Sab kuch ban kardo. Now soon a day will come when will be proudly called banistan, corruptistan, blacklisted-istan. Our country needs surf-excel kyunke daag toh achey hote hain. Where are we heading? Read the board, Welcome to gutter-land.

Aur main tumlogon ko itni entertainment de raha hoon do posts se, koi toh bolo it makes you laugh. Ek toh waise hi koi comment karta nahi hai. Kitne kanjuice ho sab. Btw if that criteria makes you that juicy creature then I am the Kanjuice-st of all =p

The worst thing happened to ‘Media and Information’ in few past years is PEMRA and PTA. PEMRA has done a complete satyanas of Television Channels by allowing them to air everything undesirable including saas bahu dramas and banning all that which should be showed like opinions on the current justice drama. Whereas, PTA is already famous from banning everything blindly. This is so sad that our higher authorities don’t have brains enough to do things strategically and sanely. Those authorities just want to protect government’s image in e-burkhas which never work. Saarey blogs ko ban kardiya hadh hogayi. Loose Motions!

Enlightened Moderation, my foot, see the language of Law Minister with all the freedom of dirty speech and when it comes to general public’s freedom of speech, it is completely absent. Even if you want to write or speak responsibly and honestly kick/ban/shameshame is all you’ll get. And what has happened now, has even taken all the respect I had for our president. Though he has done alot for the country but with Double standards, Kachra!

In all this mess uper se, this DIS-’connect communications’ DSL has done all the khanakharab of my blog. I can’t access it without proxy and I am completely outdated and started to lose interest. Allah janey humlogon ka kya hoga?

Today’s trip back to home from the institute was hilarious. I took the bus U8 which I don’t usually prefer, though I stood for like one hour in the bus through out the journey still it was great time pass no regrets. Two ladies fighting with each other, abusing and shouting their lungs out for I guess half an hour and then the comments from the gents section.. OMG that was freaking hysterically hilarious cow shit. Welcome to Pakistan, no tolerance or civic sense. Sad Yaay!! =(

Aaj TV is showing some Kara Film Festival stuff daily somewhere between 11 - 11:30 PM so if you have time do check that out. I missed so many screenings there and here too :(

Oh those childhood days were so good, seriously. I don’t mean my childhood days but the actual days and the raw aura that dwelt in Karachi a decade ago till the millennium and Y2K horror scene to be exact. Karachi was different. It was lovely. It was not materialistic. It had the warmth. Warmth even in the cold nights. Now it is like cold nights with cold gloomy feeling. It had an untouched virgin feeling about it. Now it is all artificial. There was martial law, curfew but no mobile snatchers and no shameless public display of religious gundaism. Karachi was happening, it still it is but not like then. Kit Kat was like a big treat now it is just another chocolate. Restaurants were an occasional family affair for which people waited. Funland and Seaview were the only hangouts but it was such a thrill to go there and the camel rides. Variety is spice of life but it surely spoils the fun if its in wrong direction. We need more pure ENTERTAINMENT places and please no more restaurants and water parks.

Arrghh I feel like I have lost my blog writing touch. I haven’t even written 20% of what I conceived.. procrastination maybe or I have just lost it.

Btw I felt what Karachi was like before, yesterday night before going to sleep rather before sleeping, some images brought back the wonderful memories of Karachi and I can’t tell you how peacefully I have slept.

This city will make me mad. It is the attitude of people here which needs a collective rehab.
