Phantom, Saif Ali khan, and Pakistan..

Saif Ali khan gives a controversial statement about having no faith in Pakistan (its funny though, he lives in a country where Modi is PM) but this is how whe have reacted so far:

Faisal Qureshi made a whole video and called anyone who opposed or criticised it an anti-Pakistani.

Hamza Ali Abbasi showed saif how his own country is the one he shouldn't have faith in.

Marwa Hocane tried to support the movie on humanitarian basis and whole twitter called her a slutt.

 Shaan jumped into melee and asked for a ban on Mawra Honcane.

And Pakistan has banned all Saif Ali Khan movies forever.

Do you see the point Saif Ali Khan made?

Lazy policy making

Why would government thrash privte schools for decreasing their fees? They are self employed, they can charge whatever they want. Apply this logic and govt will come to boutiques, salons, clinics, hospitals and any self made business soon. Would Shahbaz Sharif please stop for a moment and see whats going on in his own government schools? No one cares for kids, teachers are only interested in their monthly pays and administrators don't even show their faces for months. Children lack basic facilities and training, let alone advanced stage pedagody. If government institutes had a reasonable education system, private one would never have gained this much power. People prefer an ordinary two roomed private school in a street over a spacious government school with large, however, incapable staff. With this situation, you can whip the owners to control their fee raises but poor kids will still be out of the schools and educated Pakistan will be a pipe-dream because your policies are rot and superficial.

A place to find myself again

Written on 28th July, 2015.

I came back from Kashmir yesterday. I had plan to write small notes but it was so beautiful that I almost forgot everything. Never in my life I have felt this peaceful. Life was serene, adventurous and happy at same time. Kashmiris are poor. Muzaffarabad shows signs of progress but remote areas don't have anything nearly equal to what we call progress. No communication system works there. My expensive iPhone was a piece of junk there. Life exists in extremely raw form. Greenery, mountains, pines, butterflies, ducks, chickens, children everything seems like a fairytale. It felt like a virgin land untouched by anyone. When lightening strikes at a midnight, it feels like dawn has set upon this piece of heaven before the rest of the world. Sun comes up with its glory, awakening the mighty mountains. Those pines trees, mountains and streams are epitome of awe-inspiring randomness of nature. But silence lingers there like death. It has a peace which surpasses life and reaches to death. Water of waterfalls is so clear that I thought it was milk coming down through mountains. 

Now I know where to go when I've to write a book, or I'm broken. That's the place for me. That's the place to find myself again. 

State vs Doctors

Every time a voice is raised about doctors being on strike for their demands, people throw this argument "State paid for your education and you got that degree free in public medical college so pay back to state by working". Yes I do agree doctors leaving this country for residencies abroad is a serious problem at hand, but can we just stop getting this paying back to state shit?
Medical students earn this public sector education ticket by competing with a sea of candidates and passing through abhorrent examination system (whatever rot system it is, they survived). Now when they work hard to get a degree, and go to hospitals why do you expect them to work for free? Most of them are above 25 by then and they have a family to raise and some are only bread earners so If you tell me they have to pay it back to state by working day and night at the cost of a miserable financial status, don't expect me to take this bullshit. State has a responsibility to give us incentives not vice versa. Majority young doctors are forced to do their residencies unpaid. So if they move abroad for a better future just because govt is so darn ignorant about their needs, don't blame them. Get your lazy ass beurocrates to make logical policies based on actual research and sound practical grounds. Stop throwing this pay back to state non-sense every time someone asks for his right. Otherwise, every professional degree is free in public sectors so go on, confiscate salary for every person who has earned his educational credentials from public sector and lets see if they have that "jazba of ghareeb madad" you slap on face of a doctor.
