Is there any cure for this ailment..??

Delirium your write ups are excellent and thought provoking.

I once talked to an old wise man who also fought world war II in India.

I talked about corruption in government departments, I talked about hegemony of feudal members of Parliament , I talked about cleverness and greed of top Army brass, I talked about population explosion , I taked about fudging of figures ,..I talked about smuggling or purchase of defence equipment, and then assembling them in Pakistan and then boasting that Pakistan made this weapon or that weapon ,..I talked about not producing any geniune designer or Engineer in our huge universities,..I talked about culture of Thanas , police stations, court rooms, and government offices ,..where decisions are instantly changed depending on how influential the person is ,..

I talked about dirty hospitals and reuse of disposable syringes , and deadly fake medicines ..etc..

I talked about the set up of a society , where all involved collude with each other and things are over looked, hushed up or draged under the carpet,..and then God is appeased in nearby mosque..

I wanted to go on and on , and then I asked the old man about any good policy which could have saved Pakistan and he gave very simple answer ," Honesty is the best policy "

Thank you for all the appreciation but the job is not done until there is a serious realization followed by some stern planning, implementation and re-evaluation.

And yes let's be honest for our and everyone's sake.

The only ailment is through "Biopsy" of this nation otherwise bitterness from years of our existence will cast anchors....
