Beautiful Pakistanis

I have been thinking of making a list of beautiful Pakistanis but whenever I come online, I just don’t feel like it. Mostly the things I talk about my country are not that great & naturally this kind of list seems a very stupid idea.

Moreover, so far as beauty is concerned, I have always liked Western folks. Desi beauty doesn’t appeal to me unless there is something different about it. We raise altars of people who are quite mediocre & if there is someone good enough, people find faults in him/her.

Anyhow my list is not that long. I think Waheed Murad is by far the most beautiful man. I think Zeba, Nadeem, Shabnam, Reema, Shaan, Sameena Pirzada, Jawaid Sheikh, Iman Ali, Zoella & Ali Zafar are also some very beautiful people. Although Ali Zafar doesn’t have that charm. When he opens his mouth, you just want him to shut up. Zoella was a big time liar. I wonder if she really went to uni, cause she was all the time telling a different story. Even when Reema, Shaan & Iman Ali talk, it’s not that impressive. There’s one thing I like about Shaan…he’s a very cool father & he keeps his daughters away from the media.

Most people regard Noori brothers as good-looking, but I don’t like them. Although they are good-looking, but there is something very repulsive about them. Maybe it’s their attitude.

Anyhow, this is my list & it’s not the final word. One of my neighbors was very beautiful. In fact he was a Greek God. I believe anyone would start sketching if that sort of beauty appears out of no where.

I also find Mushy very cute. He’s such a darling. What a pity he had to take off his uniform! And I’m sure people must be very happy with everything right now.

And last but not least, Mr. Jinnah was of course very charming. He was the best thing that happened to Pakistan.

Remembering Salman Taseer

We all know by now that we have lost someone who had the courage to stand up against the wrong and who knew how to fight for what was right. Sadly, he was mercilessly killed on just another busy day and left us all to understand how hopeless a nation we have become. Our condolences are with his family.

His friends said, he did know that he was risking his life by speaking out loud about blasphemy law.

He wrote on Twitter on 31st Dec, "I was under huge pressure sure 2 cow down b4 rightist pressure on blasphemy. Refused. Even if I'm the last man standing."

Asked earlier that month by the BBC Urdu Service about fatwas, or religious decrees, issued against him in Pakistan, he criticised the "illiterate" clerics responsible.

"They issued fatwas against Benazir [Bhutto] and Zulfikar Ali Bhutto [her father, an executed former president], and even the founder of the nation, Muhammad Ali Jinnah. I do not care about them," he added.

HAPPINESS:

Yes, it is so inhuman, but there is actually a group that is happy about what has happened because they took it all as a fight for safeguarding religion.

Before this day, I never really searched about him and was quite baffled to see that people have created pages against him and his family calling them as corrupt and wild if they openly showed they were cool about partying, drinking, fun. In a country where almost everything happens, it is so hypocritical to complain about such things and to target people based on these elements.

FIR:

According the sources, the FIR was lodged under clause 302 and anti-terrorism act clause 7 with Taseer’s son Shehryar Taseer as claimant.

It should be noted here that Taseer’s family yesterday denied filing the report saying they will do the same after holding family consultations.

Happy Birthday Mr. Jinnah!

It’s the 134^th birth anniversary of Mohammad Ali Jinnah & if he had lived for few more years, things would have been different in Pakistan.

Mr. Jinnah

I think it would be too early to wish Mr. Jinnah right now, so I would just write a small note.

Mr. Jinnah is one of my favourite personalities. Beyond any doubt, he was a man of substance. The movie on Jinnah was not that bad, but people in our country have no respect even for the founder of Pakistan. They didn’t even go to the cinema to watch it. I think Mohammad Ali Jinnah is the best thing that happened to Pakistan & in all these years, nothing has happened. I really like what he said:

“Think 100 times before you take a decision, But once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man.”

The key word is of course man, because taking a decision & standing for something…these things come much later.

And no one could have put it more aptly than his own daughter: ‘No Jinnah, no Pakistan.’

But we are such a selfish nation, we don’t even ponder on it.

Lord Pethick Lawrence, the former Secretary of State for India, very rightly said, "Gandhi died by the hands of an assassin; Jinnah died by his devotion to Pakistan".

When I read about the War of Independence for the 1^st time, it dawned on me that we shouldn’t take freedom for granted. People were suffering very badly at that time & even at the time of partition, countless people sacrificed their lives, left their country…we cannot just ignore all of it.
