Those who are wondering why suddenly all shops claim to be out of copies of Military Inc. should rush to Khadda market karachi. I don't want to name the shop specifically but look hard and you will find it.
Otherwise email me, and perhaps u can be helped.
Buy it just to access your freedom.

man eat man
Sometimes I wonder what gives us the inflated sense of superiority as a race that allows us to plunder cross species, countries, generations and genders.
Animals fight, true that is. True is also the fact that human beings are possibly the only species that cause so much damage cross spectrum.
We kill each other; for honour, for money, for power, for fame, for the 'greater good of the world', for self satiation.
We kill animals; animals we eat, animals we dont want to eat but want to collect skins and tusks of, or showcase as shawls so fine that they can pass through a ring, we kill insects that bug us and bugs that aren't even harmful or in our way.
We ruin the eco system; we create substances that mother earth cannot ingest, we create toxic waste that in turn kills us and them, we create fuel wastage that burns our lungs and our ozone layers. We chop trees to make signs that say do not chop trees, we create ciggerette packs that say smoking is injurious to health and then sell them at competitive rates.
And we rape. Even animals.
Sustainable development evades us as we create so much that we cannot sustain our resources for any further sustainable development.
We give other nationalities peace prizes while we fatten our defense budget.
The animal kingdom choses a leader who is best for the pack, in a fair fight they chose their leader. We chose a leader who at best is best at filling his own swiss bank account.
They all say I am mad that I want to drop my own life for the life of an animal, I say they are mad, they want to inflate their sense of inferiority by a pretense at superiority.
Big phallic representations that shoot across, acclaimed to be guided to the closest metre, then falling on a family of women and children.
I accept, Allah gives us the ability to be the superior race, I do not accept that merely by being we are.

nirala sweets: sweets for the murdered
Car snatching, robbery, petty theivery, mobile snatching: almost all these crimes refer to the poverty of Pakistan, where mostly the uneducated, poor, malnourished, underfed and under supported population either neccesitates their requirements through those acts. Or has reached a point of apathy that psychologically they feel that these crimes are their due, their right. Snatch what they do not have, and enter a circle of laziness and depravity.
Thats their excuse.
Whats the excuse of a man, sitting behind a new Porsche, sitting on a chain of uppercrust confectionary chops, who while satiating his need for speed, kills a 2 month baby as it is tossed out of a windscreen and presumably his already maimed body run over, breaks the mothers spinal cord and injures the father? How can anyone justify his threatening by brute force, the family members of the ruined family unit to stay silent and then having enough clout to override the system and go scott free on "pre arrest bail" ?
Where are the headlines? Accuse America of propaganda, of excessively highlighting one instance of someone accused of assault and battery and trumpeting it on national television, but wait and see. It works. Even if this propaganda can be used to elect the Texan monstor, it can and IS repeatedly used to achieve justice.
Today a teacher rather defensively pointed out how we just make drawing room conversation. I want to challenge her statement. Lets act this time. Make an example. Stop using Nirala. If the Danish cartoon controversy could rile up the masses cross continent, then why not in an educated, civilised manner use it in our own country to cause ripples across Musharrafs badly knitted surface and cause that rip. That tear that will cause everything to fall apart because its weak.
And restitch the fabric of this nation.

it works it works
I have had a blog account (? is that how we refer to it?) since summer 2005 I think and never completed the set up. Someone i love dearly inspired me today to continue the possibility known as blog. I realised that where I might not get every article published or even bother to articulately write an article, I can post on blogspot everynow and then...
Thoughts for today
If President Pervaiz Musharaf is for the masses as apparently he is not from the masses, then would he not care to keep his engagements far from our mainstream venues and transport networks?
In the blistering cold of winter Mr President deigns to visit PC Lahore creating utter chaos and melodrama: all the guests or visitors were made to walk in the cold of the night to access their cars from an alternate uncomfortable long route. This discomfort after having to endlessly wait for him to safetly scuttle in with his endless protocol. I am sure others entertain the same feelings of anarchy when upon finally leaving PC Lahore they come to halt on the Mall and Jail road to a back tail a mile long and halted for 45 minutes.
Shame Mr Musharraf, even if every head of state in Pakistan desired this paranoid exalting measure of security, why claim to justly rid the system of gliches when you become a glich the minute you leave the artificial security of the barracks?
