I do admire the honesty of pakistanis, the other day I happen to ask an indian looking person , From which country are you?, and he replied, " sorry, I am from Pakistan".

It is good that finally pakistanis are finding their place among others, and using teh word "sorry" appropriately.

No -- Patriotism is the First refuge of the scoundrel dictators -- Corruption is the Last.

amer mian,

...... very nice! ..... enjoyed reading your piece which makes a lot more sense than the rest of the garbage floating around on this forum - much better than that produced by lums luminaries or printed by lulu ....... good job

Nothing humorous- it is the culmination of Islamic TNT followed in Pakistan.- the end could be really tragic.
