Every time I read this writer(which I have done twice), I feel like suggesting her/him to come out of their world of melancholy. The writer`s points are a constant repeat, nothing new. Bringing up issues/problems does not assist in resolving them. Coming up with a route/an alternative/a solution to resolve them is far more effective. Probably the writer needs to develop, an optimistic thinking pattern or the eyes to visualize, ``to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction`` myth. In other words, ``To every problem there is a solution.`` How you implement or excercise is the real test! I`ll look forward to reading something that is a solution to the issues the writer has been raising than another fictional piece.
[The reader can be enlightened on the current affairs/fiascos by CNN/BBC or other channels, but the reader will not see those channels working on finding solutions to ``our`` problems. Something to keep in mind.]

Zeenat:

I winced at the awful formatting!

(Chowk Editors: Can it still be fixed?)



Another story in the finest traditions of Islamic heritage perceived and vociferously practised in the land of the believers!

The only redeeming feature perhaps was the ending --- agonising and painful as it was, it was short unlike Saima Sarwar/Imran`s.

Let`s do the ablutions for the namaz-e-janaza to be followed by the prayers for the heavenly ensconcement of the grateful and ungrateful dead.

sadly, impotently,

temporal
