Wars are Now Won on the Basis of Regular Supplies of Viagra
BB We Miss You…..
BB is one of the charismatic leaders, at least for my generation. First I saw BB, when I was in school, she came over to our town to address the crowd and support Hakeem Baloch’s election campaign. My first ever direct interaction took place at Beach Luxury Hotel in the year 2000; she was invited by SZABIST as guest speaker. I was one of the organizers so I had brief interaction with her, as well as got a group photo. Her communication skills, the way she used to present, was simply awesome. I don’t see any other political leader having those skills. Her personality was attractive and dominating, the cool part was she was heading the political party, having roots deep down in villages. She was managing all those Waderas and Sardars, being a woman it was courageous. She was symbol for Pakistani women; she introduced and initiated women rights related legislations. She was the hope for women, what ever brief period she ruled; women rights were center of focus. Her struggle was recognized across the globe, UN awarded her prestigious Human Rights Prize. BB, we still miss you, we know you were brutally removed from political scene but what ever you did in short span of time we value all. We will miss you; horror of 27th Dec will haunt Pakistani society and ask why a mother was brutally killed, and society does not have any answer.
Guardian writes around 200,000 attended BBs first anniversary. I believe, for BB it was the best moment to make her exit, for her people the worst. She became a symbol of hope for dictatorship after thirty years of struggle and sacrifice, triumph and tribulation. BB of the legend is far more powerful than the 54 year old politician some foolish criminals tried to destroy.

Religion is not all About Rituals……Follow Rituals or Burn in Hell!!
I am completely skeptic of Pakistani society, a twin faced, people wearing mask, using religion to look pious and do moral policing yet deep down living a monstrous life.
People do all kind of rituals, mosques are full, Umrah & Haj rituals are not missed yet our society is turning ugly, crime, corruption, tax evasion, exploitation of labor, brutality against women, killing in the name of religion & honor, sectarianism is witnessing rising trend.
Does anyone care? Or we are blinded by rituals or turned into unthinking ritualistic society!! Lately I was reading Nadeem Paracha “NAKED LUNCH: To Burn or Not to Burn in Hell” in daily dawn, he initiates an interesting discussion. People emphasize religious rituals yet society is turning ugly.
People emphasize on offering prayers “its essence is to stop and remind Muslims that curtain things are bad, to be avoided” rather prayer is way forward to becoming a good human being and social person. However, the essence is practically missing from our acts and dealings rather as a society we are too focused on rituals ‘focus is, how to hold hands during prayers, what should be length of shalwar ….. Shalwar takhnoon say kitni oopar honi chahiyeh etc’
He asks an interesting question “don’t you think had Muslims spent more time philosophically and rationally determining and investigating the message of the Qu’ran instead of reducing the intellectual discourse in this regard to the basic levels of ritual and dogma handed down to us by some rigid old men, the sight of mosques full of worshippers could have really meant something more than mere ritualism?”
He further writes “Quran needs interpretation according to the needs of Muslims in every day and age. It is full of metaphors. It is meant to be interpreted, isn’t it? That’s what most rational Islamic scholars have been trying to do for so long.”
He laments that there is no awakening happening among young Muslims, it seems like, we are collapsing inwards with outdated talk about laws made hundreds of years ago by Ulema of their times and their followers who would now like to see Muslim groups turn into static, unthinking totalitarian societies.
This discussion makes me think that science, philosophy and reason is need of the hour to rationally interpret religion rather pushing people into rituals.
No Fourth Warning; Pakistan; Get Ready for War!!!

Oh Really!!! Beauty Lies in the Eyes of Beholder….Big Butt, Thick Ankles, & Small Nose!! Wow
I wonder what exactly beauty is, never been able to solve that riddle! Frankly, to me beauty is one of the important aspects in personal self esteem; I believe one should guard it closely with efforts. When I have cross cultural interaction regarding beauty, I always get mesmerized with different definition of beauty. Lately I was watching Oprah Winfrey show on Beauty Around the World, it shared cool stories and insight to help in understanding the beauty. How do you define beauty? Is it a small waist and large breasts? A perfect smile and straight hair? When I get into fashion magazines I find beauty is narrowly defined. Oprah show shared that people defined beauty from thick ankles to small noses and women from five continents revealed what’s considered beautiful in their countries.
It reminds me my beauty talk with a Japanese girl in Tokyo, she defined that their skins is key to true beauty, ideal skin is fair, smooth and everyone goes crazy for that. I remember she also informed that instead of American style Botox injection to fight wrinkles they consume healthy and rich food “Collagen infused food and lots of water for sexy skin” hey girls it’s a hint for you to have gorgeous skin: P They also use chemicals and heat to straighten their hair for gorgeous look. Hmmm straight hair… I was surprised to see face slimming belt at one of the GINZA store in Tokyo, over here all my friends only know about sauna belt to fight fatness. If anyone is concerned that her face may be too puffy or chubby or whatever, there is a belt that they can wrap around face. It makes face thinner….I was informed that it is kind of thing with sauna properties. Interesting stuff regarding beauty goes around the world; National Geographic once showed girls at the age of 5 on Burmese & Thai to Kenyan region start wearing brass rings around neck to enhance beauty, giraffe like neck is considered gorgeous. Whereas indigenous people in various tropical region believe that women with tattooed blue lips look sexy.
Oprah show also shared that Indian Desi babes are known across the world for their beautiful skin and hair, they mostly rely on turmeric lemon and honey on skin, herbal secrets are behind beauty. No wonder I fall for desi babes, they are attractive esp. the ones with semi dark complexion with big eyes. In Brazil, people are weight conscious, they use weight reduction pills as well as plastic surgery to achieve beauty, no wonder they look gorgeous, hmm lots of effort behind beauty. Most girls have curly hairs; they spend hell lot of time and money to achieve straight hair. Brazilian women also go through pressure to have big breast, blonde hair to look gorgeous. Iran is becoming the nose job capital of world, surgeon are minting money. Nose is considered the sign of beauty. In Mauretania beauty is all about having big butt, bigger is better is acceptable. Women are expected to be fat and guys to be skinny…wow. Girls are willing to do anything to have fuller figure, all the way going through using animal pills….that’s bizarre, isn’t it? In France, slimness is the key; girls spend a lot of time in getting slim body after that lingerie comes second along with range of body and personal care products. In France turning 60 is sexy….wow….sexiness is eternal !! It seems beauty is more of a cultural phenomenon and lies in the eyes of beholder. Hey guys and girls, focus on beauty aspect that beholder values heheh good tip, isn’t it??
Killing in the Name of Religion- Hatered Everywhere - Hey World, Stop Immaturity!!
Today I was watching HBO, came across a movie on Saudi terrorists rocking USA, and killing innocent civilians. Then turned to Time & Newsweek magazine it was all about Mumbai killings & post attack crackdown. Dawn newspaper also contained most of the news related to Jihadi crackdown and possible nuclear war. If I look back my history class books, all the way I find score of religious wars, Muslims vs. Christians or Jews to impose religious superiority of one group over other. In response, most of the time ‘the will’ of one group was forcefully imposed over others, however in the back of all, economic and political interests along with hegemonistic desires of one group was hidden. On the one hand, all religions ‘mainly Semitic’ talk of same GOD, preach the same philosophy of Love, Peace, Brotherhood and on the other hand religion have been used for division, hatred and war. History is witness of crusade and holy wars etc Material instincts of human being along with male dominating ego are catalyst in using the religion as a tool to further their personal and group goals. This brings me to conclusion that human being progressed materially all the way marching from dark ages to modern and post modern age but yet basic instinct of greed and dominance still thrives. This brings me to another question, does world lack maturity? Is couple of thousand of years not sufficient for human generation to learn and move forward as human being instead of material being? Is Utopian society is an impractical dream? Do we need religion to be good human? Will ever in this world people stop thinking as Jew, Muslim, Christian or Hindu? Will ever in this world, people experience human connection instead of socially imposed dividing bullshit?? I am completely lost on my way in the search of the answers to above questions …..
