Coming to America Re: # 69 I did not redflagged but I will second the sentiment. Kindly read and think what HP is saying , he is making lot of sense. It is very difficult situation here, life is miserable, inflation is killing, shortage power all necessities are hard to get, crime is rising , killing has lost any effect. Now when over 50 people died in Bomb it makes news , dozen killed is not news. In such bad situation in stormy he is leading leaky ship. He has got all problems given by earlier rulers. Sage leader like Quaid E Awam altafbhai is suppoerting Z as he is needed for country at this time. It really great support by MQM and president was gracious to call on MQM chief when he was in London. Mr. Z wants all to help country. Without MQM support Karachi will be battle ground. But Z and AB ( Altafbhai) keeping Talibs away from urban Sindh. Please give your plan what you can do when economy is on gas and TTP and lakshars are watching from sidelines AND taking shots at army. Please leave Predijuces against mr. Z as he is sindi and dark etc support president and team till things are stabilized. Then vote against him in next elections if you want but no underbelt criticism or shots.
Good day everybody

Coming to America Zina welcome back.
I hope you will never write as #53. What you wrote is very damaging and personal details and behaviour should not be brought in discussion. Mr.Zardari and mS.Rahman and Mr Gilani may be what you say but does it matter ? It does not matter. Their private life is private and should not be brought in open. Mr. Z is not saint and he never claimed like that, he just wants to follow his wife's wishes. Is there any thing wrong ? He has no easy job, he has to fight with TTP and other Lakshars and still skillfully avoiding to get called as Agent of USA. He has to deal with usa as country is in Economic intensive care unit from time he over throw general. LIke patient in ICU oxygen is required TEMPORORLY which is induct of USA dollrs for servicing American army and keeping supplies moving in A.Stan.
Mr Z has styopped war in B.Stan practically. Presently Western front we have gurrola war going and he is very skillful and kept quite on eastern front by Charming indian president mr. Singh. To his achievent he has arranged "friends of Pakistan Group" on p[ermanant basis and roped in our benefactors like USA, UK, China , Kingdom od S.A. , UAE and EEU etc. Now they are going to make 15 billion dollars ( not worth less rupees) fund every years and that will be great boost in dollar reserve. On other president before was able to institutionise such help group.
You should with draw your imtemperent and missguided and unjust remark about senior leadership ( president, PM) and high ranking lady minister. THis leady is smart and very pretty and Vivacious and is attention of gathering due to her intelligence and good looks and very attractive. I have observed she has sense of dress, and she is not afraid of men and she is not shy in company of white people. ( There is lot of envy amoung women ,specially pakistani and they say garbage about minister ). Any way one like or know one should respect them as they are legitimate Rulers of country. If you have such hatred you can vote against them. But talking thrash about PM, President, leading member of PPP is totally wrong.
I kindly request you ask managent to withdraw your thrashy #53 comment. THis is reason we will never get real functioning democracy as it is "educated people problem". Just as they live in nice white advanced country and they will not talk such thrash there but their contempt for fellow brown and dark colored goes beyond limits. Whether people like or not President.PM and minister rulepakistan and world know atleast for next 4 years Zardari is pakistan and pakistan Zardari. You should not show contempt for elected leaders.
Please withdraw cpomments, repent and ask for forgiveness for being imtempanart and abusive to PM and president and Information minister.
But thanks for contribution and thrashy writing.

Behind That Voice! Re: # 9 I do not know the site which give his rendering of Gazals by Galib. Saigal has Voice which works very well with little gloom and and sings with great passion of poem.
This may be probably due to time. Mr. Saigal probably died in in 1943 ( ? ).It is long time and must have less and less fans due to time. Most young people may not have listend him is my belief but just heard about him. If some body knows it will be great benefit to all listners.
Good day

Into The Thick of the Battle State of Pakistan is controlled and protected by three "A"s.
All mighty Allah, Mighty Amreica and (Tainati Fauz Fauz of America which British bahadur) Army.
Pakistan has has govt which is micromanaged by usa throgh economic strings and USA is god father, withstanding some grand standing done by Army against USA transgressing borders. Awam for all reasons think correctly past, present and future govts are puppent govts and they have to follow broad lines as suggested by usa. As poor man can not go on purchasing things unless Seth sahib gives food on Credit.Though I do not agree with Ustruely ( As he is revolutionary and will not hesitate to resort to violence) mostly but his saying of Continuation of East India Company rule is not wrong. Masadi is even better in characterization of these elite imperial forces. And Major. Pavo correctly calls army leadership hopeless bunch of visionless opportunists.
Terrorists have Mighty Allah on their side is their belief. Belief with Courage and courage with belief moves violent paeople and they get motivated. They have vision of Nizan E Mustafa... etc. Pakistani rulers are devoid of vision. The mercenary army lead by political class without vision have no hope. Like in history of roman empire at end and also after Alamgirs 30 years of fight in Maratha country both were visionless and lead to demise.
If civil leadership has vision like Lincoln and do nor want to loose they they should go for "real" fight and ready for sacrafice. If that tribal areas are not important they feel they can abandon. They they will get temporary relief. Just like mughal ceded top marathas and shortly after they began to call shots on behalf of Mughal emperoer Pakistani Taliban will finally do it.
America is not ready to sacrafice their men and Pakistan army is being used cannon fodder for last two years. Top leaqdership stiull has not arrived at decision where to cede tribal areas or restore authority.
Honestly there does not appear anybody at elected levels to have brains to plan and and strong wrist to carry out those plans. Misery will continue.

Behind That Voice! Re: # 5 Late K.L.Saigal was best in presenting Galib. He laid gold standard.

Emerging Pakistan-U.S. relations Re: # 55 If USA delivers Kashmir like Kosavo pakistan army will fight like hell and liqidate Jehadi in no time. It is not in national interest to have full stop as when this double game will come to stop and money stops. Man and armies are slave to money, same dirty money. America wants cheaply pakistan army to fight for them, they will but not with this peanuts thrown and army and leaders children getting entrance visas to white west countries. Pay as good as nato soldiers to pakistani army they will deliver Osama Bin Laden in know time, packaged, deliverwd, no questions. Americans are stingy and not paying adequately.

Emerging Pakistan-U.S. relations It is abusive relationship both ways. They use us badly and we do not deliver. They are trying to buy us cheap way, it does not work.

Resisting Subjugation Mr. IK is worried about wrong things.
Yes it is big Loan if you have to return.
No body in sane mind thinks it will be returned.We just pay little interest and when you do not pay interest for few times you get more loan to pay that interest. As wise big Banker said if you are poor person , you have loan then you are problem. Now first time when bankers give loans to contries like india, pakistan, B.Desh, Afghans and dozens of dark colored africans and poor latin americans with view to make profit they are fools and they should punished for stupidity. These are huge loans so banks are introuble not india or pakistan.
Now commercial loans given by banks are business and they should take into account bankruptcy of Deshis. Now loans given by rich govts to poor dark people are out of guilt of seeing poor people while they have good life and they want to do something good for dark and brown (deshis)and feel guilt free when they new deshis and darki's are suffering. Actually they they do not expect to get back money.. So when they write off loans they feel good, so they are not giving any thing but buying satisfaction he done his job to help dark and browns.

Now loan is not stigma. Even usa the our patron and benefactor is having much more than anybody.
No point in whining about these things. Its ok to whine but if one gets real serious then it is wrong.

The Prejudices Pakistan’s New President Faces Re: # 21 Zardari better politician than BB at this time. BB had no administartive abilities to give poor, Kapara,Makan .... President Zardari has statred inning and time will only judge.
Initial phases President won every way. He has used skilfully NS to take care of general Musharaff and Army is afraid of him. Generally external enemies are obvious and easy to deal with , he was more skilful in taking care possible challenges from PPP potential challenging leaders.Fahim can get angy but can not do much. He apponted Punjab governer has put fear in mind of Shariff and brothers. He has skilfully avided return of former chief justice and appointing other judges reduced importance of rewstoration. He has "managed" MQM and Altafbhai is fully supporting him. He has made comments forcing B.Stani terror groups stop blasting pipe lines, power poles and railways.
Rest Inflation, violence , KSE decline Law and order will be real problems to anybody. Cleverly about these things he has lowered expectations which help. President is doing politics very skillfully. Also training his son in social work etc and making of statesman is in process.
Now people are not happy as he goes to attend personal things to Dubai and london. Last 10 years Mrs. Bhutto lived mostly in above countries and they must have financial interests. Now politics is fine but he has responsibility for his children and their welfare. I saw picture of Asifa his daughter and felt sad why god does wrong things( she has some los of pigmentation problem). Even powerful man and woman has to take care of family business and affairs as in politics no surity of anything. Also to play power politics at high levels need money all time. Now people have stated slandering about mystery woman, concubine etc is below belt. Powerful men are are always need little relaxation and entertainment. Hope people will asses him on his economic performance and will leave little things.
It is strange "liberal" Hamid is taking note of such things.
Anyway if Zardari is fine with Altaf Hussain then is fine with all Karachians.

Dr Afia Siddiqui\'s Case Mr. Mike Please do not try to spoil best relationship between Pakistan and China. All Pakistanis are against terror activities carried in China it does not matter religion. In this aspects anti terrorist attitude of both "peoples- china and pakistanis" is above even religion as Terrorism is antiislamic and also antisocialist..

US Commando Strike in Waziristan Re: # 90 Mr. T and hamid it will be more helpful to talk about KSE, shares, bonds, saving schemes and interest rate and which stocks are good ( aadamjee related company is good , they are parsee gentlemen all others are chors).
Now even poor man in america has car and little house. Some incite from outside can be helpful. If american economy does down it really does not matter in pakistan.
Good day

There is no ‘honour’ in killing Friend Masadi and Mr. T you are both not following what HP said and little distorting.
Now feudalism is social sytem and at this time there is no other system specially present in Rural Sindh.
Fudal lord some protection and safety to landless peasants. Without his protection and financial support poor can not survive. He may not be ideal master but still he has some obligations mentally to these skillless hands. He offers some protection to women folk of peasants. Miscreants keep away and do not play bad evil plans on helpless peasants, hios women and their children. It is his proprty to him and he needs to protect his property.That adds protection for poor people. And because of fear bad people keep away. Not best system but better than no system. If there is new system to replace feudal system then it is preferable than no system. What skillless poor haris can do ?
It will catastrophe to attack system without other social system which can give some protection.
Most people forget that while sitting in cafes in Karachi Lahore and drinking liquior or cpoffee or tea. That is intelluctual satisfaction but no protection for peasants and famalies.
Also Capitalism is more refined system where there are big centers where people work and have huge productivity. Most farming is marginal and not much surplus wealth is produced in Farming.
Hope babus do not destroy system without which atleast give minimal protection.
I think animals even make right choice, a misused dog lives with man as man may be bad but atleast man sees he survuives.
Please understand what HP is saying. That is what I feelo he is saying. He can correct me.
Good day.

US Commando Strike in Waziristan Can anybody explain why Bilawal was not present while his sisters were with president for photo opportunity ?

US Commando Strike in Waziristan Re: # 79 Arjun you have been banned 18 times. Every time hope rises but no improvement. You can think of new improved arjun by actions.

US Commando Strike in Waziristan Re: # 78 DM..., If I am correct GovCanada does not encourage house buiding as GovUSA by subsidizing mortgage or tax concession. I think there is something in usa law promise, Province govt to help to everybody has small house and car. I have heard that is most common dream of USA citizen.

I personally think canada gov may be prudent which avoids some people over sizing houses. And most of time canada is ice cold will take lots of canadian pounds every mouth to heat big house.
Is it prudent to over built big house as one can not use more than minimum required size.( Marginal utility decreases very fast when house reaches about 800 Sq Ft.) It is wrong national policy to force people too put too much money in "oversized house".It is like wastage and damaging your wealth putting in house which does not produce income. As you have knowledge of economy you can tell my feeling of national oversizing house is one of moost destructive national addiction . As huge capital is invested in non returns. It is as bad as buying gold and silver ornments which dead investments. Now govt has hard time to tell people to lower down expectations about size of house as it will damage house related activity which may be more than even auto industry, as usa and canada every family even poor have car as elites make sure no good bus system.
My feeling is most destructive investment made nationally by Americans is oversized houses they can not afford. This may be making capital markets charge more interests for other productive activities like trade, manufacturing and services. Kindly comment your feelings.
Is there same obsession about gold and silver and ornments by women folks in usa and canada of is pecular Deshi thing.( another dead investment, but women wearing ornments is very beautiful picture, some times young women with payal on foot is magical for site and sound. If some body knows Khabutors we put payals like rings in young males foot. It is beautiful site when young males swell the neck and jump and moves with steps like Waltz and take circular round about themselves is beautiful to watch and they are very happy is beautiful scene itched in my memory)
Good morning.
