Tolerance
Jun 12th
It is very important to listen. Listen. Listen. Listen and then speak. It is important to analyze all aspects and point of views before you decide to dismiss what someone says. We, as Pakistani’s, face this very common dilemma. We fail to listen and to respect each other’s opinion.
Every one of us is a leader. Everyone of us think he or she is destined to be the chosen one. Is that why we have been unable to find a consensus leadership since Muhammad Ali Jinnah? This is just an open question.
Tolerance needs a lot of patience. We as a nation are not used to being patient. We need to think and allow our rigid minds to open up and accept everyone’s point of view.
We also have to worry about a lot of misguided individuals. But you don’t go out to blow them up! You engage them in dialogue and debate. You try to change the way they think just like those who brainwashed them had changed their thoughts.
Let us all be patient. Let us all be tolerant. It will help us as individuals to deal with the everyday frustrations we face for ourselves. And individual correction will one day become a correction at the national level.
Peace.

A revolution? In Pakistan? Funny! Here is a very inspirational sound track for the sleeping souls of Pakistan. It is time to wake up for Heaven’s Sake!

Jun 5th
Following what I would call the ‘Success’ of the Freedom Flotilla, Hezbollah Chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has called for another aid convoy to complete what the Freedom Flotilla had sought out to do – break the maritime siege of Gaza. I was fortunate to catch a live web-stream of the speech over the internet last night.
Israel faced a public relations disaster worldwide after it decided to storm the flotilla with around 100 commando’s firing at unarmed humanitarian activists with live ammunition.
The Hezbollah chief was addressing a huge gathering of thousands and thousands of Lebanese people at an event held in Beirut to remember those who lost their lives on the Freedom Flotilla.
Sayyed Nasrallah praised Turkey’s leadership for the stand they have taken since the attack on the Freedom Flotilla describing the deteriorating ties between Turkey and Israel an “earthquake” for Israel.
Interestingly, following this call by the chief of the Hezbollah last night, there are reports coming in that the Turkish Prime Minister, Rejeb Tayyib Erdogan, has decided to lead another flotilla escorted by the Turkish Navy for its security. If confirmed, this will be a diplomatic nightmare for both Tel Aviv and Washington.
If Israel acts reasonably (which it is not used to), the siege of Gaza shall break – leading to another humiliating public defeat of Israel’s unjust stand after its defeat in 2006 in which it was unable to release its captured soldiers despite a bloody conflict between Lebanon and Israel.
If it acts unreasonably, we not only have a certain possibility of an armed conflict between Israel and Turkey, the world would also be at risk of another (may God Forbid) World War.

Recap: Graduated as a Telecom Engineer in June 2009. ‘July – August’, I would rather erase from my memory. Started an awesome job in September 2009. Got Admitted to an MBA (weekend) program in the same month. Status – Engaged.
As long as I’m alive, I think it will be very difficult to keep me away from writing, from speaking my heart out. I got my motivation back after I could not resist tweeting the developments of the Freedom Flotilla attack, then I went on to tweet the Turkish Prime Minister’s speech live too…
I felt down and out, felt betrayed by life, but for a person like me – nothing can hold me back. I have always been positive. And here I am, rid of the bad patch as if it had never existed.
I’ll try to keep up with my reporting and analyses. From my writings at this blog, I have great memories. From an article appearing in the daily Dawn, a report being used as a reference at Harvard, blog post being discussed on television channels and what not. I can not leave what I have so passionately done for the past four years – when blogging was a literally unknown term in Pakistan.
As of Now: An IT & Telecom Solution Consultant. Still working at the awesome place, on a leave these days. Ranking 2nd in my MBA program with a very high GPA. Status – SINGLE.

May 3rd
For all of you who might be wondering where I am, I am on a break from life. I understand I have not written anything on any issue in a very long time now. I hope I would be able to return and start over again.
Things have been so pressing that I really have found no time to write or speak out my mind. Too engaged in ‘fire-fighting’ with my own problems I guess.
I’d just request all of you to pray for me. I really need them.
Iltimaas-e-Dua!
