Beleive it or not! the reality is nearer to Bina`s spoof!! And we have to be shit scared about this reality of nincompoops `guiding` the third world nations like Pakistan.

I think it`s fairly safe to assume that it is anger that triggers the satire-sequence in a writer. Yet, I beleive that the objectivity in your peice highlights the absence of the aformentioned ``anger``.

...just a temporal observation: the number of interacts is inversely proportional to the quality of the writing;) (political/religious/inflammatory stuff excepted)

it started off as yet another run-of-the-mill effort to criticize the established institution, but in the end, it did turn out to be funny, and closer to reality, as mentioned by other itneractors.

kashmir dot com was hilarious.

Mushy and ```education for all`

President Musharraf spoke of meeting the goal of universal primary enrolment by the year 2010.

I think Bina you need to tone down the satire stuff . Make it more realistic and people will start taking it with all the seriousness this topic deserves!!!

ballukhan, I don`t see anything wrong about satire here. I think this was the best way Bina could have touched an issue like this.
