Though I never got any interest in politics or in politicians as it always make me depressed and confused as I can never make it out that who is right or wrong but being a part of the nation and being a Pakistani whatever happen around in my country and people around always effects me and hurts me whenever I see any trouble or sufferings around...

Its been long now that whole Pakistani nation is facing this endless, long period of turmoil and uncertainty, and worst civil war. Dozens of innocent people are been killed without any reason, lots of losses in businesses, strikes.... just for the sake of nothing...

It's truly so painful to write all this but I believe one should have courage to face the cruel realities of life... I don't know exactly why I am writing all this may be just to share my depression or to prove myself as a Pakistani who is strong enough to digest these bitter, cruel realities scattered around or just to clarify world that all are not same, all Pakistanis are not bad or terrorists as been labeled, we also have heart, we do feel pain, but yeah I do accept that few of us are doing wrong and just because of them all Pakistanis all around the world are been seen with the eyes of doubts, been given disrespect and just because these few wicked people whole nation is suffering...

I hope you all are aware with the most recent & terrible incident happened here at the part of world I belong to and i.e. one more miserable bomb blast that not only killed former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto but also 20 other poor people along... on December 27, 2007 it was not the end of the story unfortunately its been three days now that whole Pakistani nation is suffering just because of the stupid, emotional people around who burnt hundreds of vehicles, shops, factories and killed about 15-20 more people all over the country.... I don't know what's the purpose behind? whats the use? why they are killing innocent people? why creating problems for poor people? why asking others who did nothing wrong to suffer? what they will get from doing all this?? why don't they think just because of their stupid actions whole nation have to suffer??

I just hope & pray for the betterment & peace around and need your all prayers too for my people & my country...

May God bless all..

Visit to Multan (Part 2)

Well in first part of the post I have already provide you with a brief introduction about the city I visited i.e. Multan and now in this last part I would like to share my colorful thoughts and eperiences regarding the main reason for which I basically visited there i.e. to attend a wedding of few of our family friends settled there.You must be thinking now that being living in Pakistan there shouldn’t be anything new & surprising for me at least to be that excited & to write about but honestly speaking that was all new for me too. Things and traditions that I just use to listen from my elders so far I have seen & experienced at my own for the very first time in my life. Bhangra (traditional dance), a group of musical band in uniform along with barat, groom riding on a horse, and lots more small traditional things….

Luckily I gotta chance to visit a village in my trip and truly loved the beauty of nature there, I can’t forget the innocence & simplicity, hospitality & love of people there is memorable. Without any relationship and without any mean reason everyone want us to visit their place may be just for a minute. Small gifts that they gifted were so precious like anything. Peace & purity there was unforgettable…

Well it was just an attempt to portrait and write in words whatever i have seen and experienced there. This is first time actually that I tried to write anything like that and I don't know to what extend I am successful i it but anyhow I hope you guys have enjoyed pictures at least that I have posted here :)

Best Regards,
