random thought

I can be wrong. And I have put this disclaimer upfront because often, I am...


Although I can be wrong ... but I think ... rather I guess... and I guess I have eyes so that i can see all the shades of different colors. I guess i have ears so that i hear different frequences of variant sounds. I guess I have a tongue so that i taste a mosiac of flavors. I guess i have a nose so that I am not deprived of olfactory feedback. and i guess i have sensitivity of skin so that i can tell if i am touched...

But what are feelings for? Why do i have emotions? Why do i feel good when i see a someone smile? Why do i feel disgusted when i taste something rotten? Why do i feel sad when i hear something tragic? why do i feel repulsive when i smell something pungent?

Why am i so lost??

obama to his shrink ...

I am made to think i m a leader but i believe i m just a follower...
I am made to believe i am a player but i know i m just a pawn...
I am made to think i matter but all ive added to is chatter ...
What do i do? where do i go?
I thougth we could ... but now i m not so shoo...

invertebrate

Pakistan --


What is happening to Pakistan?
Leadership - What is a leader
What does a leader do?
What happens if there isnt a leader


Pakistan has a leadership vaccum.

This seems like a well orchestrated scheme - for the ground is set for anyone who has the balls to come out and speak -- for anyone to go on the streets and mobilize the masses and make them realize the grativity of the situation. The average joe pakistani is drugged, dazed and confused... like he has been for the past 50 odd years. But at the moment he is extremely lost and he has become impervious to any and everything. There is no sensitivity towards the accuteness of the situation.

Times like these are when leaders are born. These are the times when people realize that no one will come to save them, not even God until the time that they decide to save themselves. Its times like these that nations describe themselves by defining revolutions.

Bob Marley's "get up stand up, stand up for your right" comes to mind but who will get up and play this track in the minds of this pulverized people? Who will make this people realize their true potential, their true worth?

In other unrelated, irrelevant news ... a scientist has made a shocking revelation, a discovery that has the potential to be coverd by academic journals and publications around the globe. A striking claim in a recent study sponsored by a research institute says that the Pakistani Political elite/leadership does not belong to the homo sapien species rather these human looking, human behaving-quite human individuals are actually invertebrates!
ps. Interestingly enough the scientist was noted to be a political scientist.

true lies - part one

The Line between reality and perception can be a very thin one. Some argue that reality is shaped or stirred by perception. The war on terror is becoming a war of perception creation and management. As much as arms and artillery, bombs and bunker busting are being utilized; so is media and propaganda. With arms comes blood and with blood, an attack becomes obvious but when an attack is on the psyche or persona of someone the effects are much more sublime, much more covert.


Pakistan is at war with “terror” from within. Pakistan has been at this for a few years now and this Pakistan can, and has handled it sufficiently and adequately. This war on terror is ours to win and win we shall! However there are attacks hurled at the Pakistani state apparatus, establishment and more importantly people from outside. These attacks are not necessarily militant or violent attacks rather these are to demoralize the people. These are to induce chaos. These attacks are targeting our mental homeostasis and anticipating us to give in-mentally--


A day doesn't go without commentary from western media, academics and intellectual circles on Pakistan- its army and its arms. ........ To Be CONt'd ..... >>>>
