Time in Karachi

Our Police (-:

A couple of days back I was going home at around 5am. As soon as I stepped on to Baloch Colony Flyover which leads to Expressway, A Police vehicle crossed me and stopped my way. I remain seated and 2 guys came out of the police truck one of them aiming at me with his gun & other walked towards my car and asked me to for a search. I stepped out of my car, he searched me and then I went to stand beside the car and then he went to search my car.

After searching the car he came to me & said I've got too many cds in the car, my response to which was a question if thats a crime or carry more than x number of audio cds in the car :D. Ofcourse our Pakistani Police didnt like my response and asked me to show the papers, since the car was unregd so I didnt have any registration papers and he asked me for my license. My reply to that was its the job of Traffic Police not him (-:

Before he could get "more pieces of my mind" another Cop jumps into the scene and this 1 plays the role of polite 1. He goes as expected "Dekho Beta aap achey ghar ke ho (I wonder how does he know that? is he a palmist?) khamka mai takleef hogi, koi kagaz bhi nahi aap ke pass, batao kia kerein?" I tell him to send a cop with me to my home & I will show him all the docs, to which he replies "Beta ye tou hum nahi kertey, hum aam tor pe gari thaney le jatey hain aur aap ko ghar se kagaz laney parey gey, aab is waqat tou taxi bhi nahi miley gi aap ko"


To that I tell him, lets take the car to the Police station and I start walking towards the car. He comes after me and goes like "Arey beta kham kha mai masla hoga, yehai mamla khatam ker detay hain kuch ker lo, 1 - 2 liter diesel ke paise wagera" I simply ask him "Aap paise mang rahey hain" he only smiles, Now thanks to the press card which was given to me by a friend who owns a magazine. I simply flash the card out of my wallet & go like "Mujhe yehai sunna tha, aap **** thaney k ho na? aab aap se kal baat hogi" and I continue walkign towards the car.

Now the tables turn and all three of them come to lick my ass... One of them (the 1 who was holding gun towards me all the time) opens the passenger seat door & tries to "negociate" with me while others are literally begging me to let it go from my side of the car. After about 5 mins or so I tell them that its okay I'll let it go and off I go...

As soon as I turn right towards city chapter something on the passenger seat catches my eye & when I look down at it, it turns out to be a Rs.100 note which was probably "gifted" by the 1 holding gun.... Some begger got that the next day (-:

Do something before its TOO LATE!!!

All our life... We try to make sure that nothing bad happens to them. Who they're meeting, who they're hanging out with, what their activities are, what kind of stuff they eat... All those who's why's and what's that we're concerned about...

But a time comes... And it does trust me no matter what... A time comes when no matter how many precautions we take, no matter how many times we tell them whats good and whats not... No matter... They start to think that they know the best about it and start taking things in their own hands... That is the time when we despite of the fact knowing what they're doing is not good for themselves have to just let them be on their own... That is the time when our parents start getting old...

I happen to be son of two such parents, Mom being a diabetic and Dad a diabetic AND a heart patient... They both know that Sugar is not good for them, Dad knows that smoking is bad for his health... No MATTER how many times I tell them... they just don't listen to me...

Last week I caught my dad smoking in the street and he knows its something which he should have since doctor strictly asked him not to... Now he knows how furious his smoking will make me... He was not bothered about being caught... Can you imagine? he started laughing... I mean that's too much...

If I catch him eating something sweet and inquire about it, he goes like "oh but my sugar was low", His justification of smoking is that it helps in conception, I mean all of you out there!!! if any of you is facing conception then please start smoking because, tough my dad is an engineer, his doctorate says "Smoking is good for conception" I mean that's just too much...

But he's not just the only one I've to deal with here, I've to keep my mom away from ice cream, she acts the wiser one among the two, (May be she's younger than dad and there's still hope for some betterment as I still have some time) But her justification of eating ice cream is "Sirf aik cheez pe tou bud perhazi kerti hoon" I ask you all... who would like to buy that?

Somedays back she injured her finger (another long story) and got the bandaid on it... the thing went for a couple of days and finally the doc stopped the dressing and strictly asked her to keep her hand away from water... Guess what? Madame feels like washing the dishes... These parents I tell you... They do whatever they're asked not to do and yet they feel proud doing it...

Well... I couldnt save my parents from bad company and falling into bad habits... if any of you out there still has any idea how to save my parents from all these activities then please help me here because I really am worried about the two of them... I mean, "Meri tou naak kata dein gey ye dono aik din".... So if any of you has any idea or any solution as what shall I do with them then please help me here... And for those of you who still have parents young enough... Please do something before its too late...

Super Powers

Well what's with all this super power business??? I mean I am a simple guy who likes to keep it simple and understanding...

I've been thinking for quite a few months about this all super power business and I tried to make some connections...

First super power I say were Muslims, I mean they were so big that Muhammad Bin Qasim was told "hey buddy go take over India" and he did... like baap ka raaj chal raha hai... when ruling this region they faced the downfall and the next super power came out as Great Britain.

Probably the Brits were following the Muslim foot steps but whatever it was... They also had a great time and boy they ruled... freedom moment and all that but the crown of super power went in the hands of Soviet Union and the Communists.

Again Communists were also after the same thing... "I am the kings of the world" (like SRK stated in Om Shanti Om)... neways... they faced their fall when they took panga with pathans... and the new Super Power came out as USA & Uncle Sam...

USA also is enjoying their time but with the recent financial crisis... Looks like they wont be able to keep it for a long time... My wild guess is that next Super Power will be China then... I mean they are working hard...

There's a pattern with all the Super Powers... they all wanted to rule the whole world, have control over all the resources and be the big boss around but whenever they tried to capture South Asia region (Afghanistan, Pakistan & India) they had to face THE DEFEAT...

So if you're reading this and u're planning to be a Super Power in future then please stay away from South Asia... Aab baad mai mujhe aa ker na kehna ke Omer yaar warn tou ker detay... (-:

p.s. if you think there r any corrections then please point them out as I'm not a history expert nor I ever had a hot history teacher... so I was never bothered... its simply what my 2+2=4 mind could come up with...
