Dismal, but not boring
From the Blog borderlinegreen The only thing worse than a dismal state of affairs is a boring state of affairs. While the former can be excused on grounds beyond a country's control, the latter is almost always untenable. To be boring is to be stale, stagnant, unmoving and thoroughly predictable. It is a terrible state of being, always knowing what is next, especially when it promises to be no better than the present. Boring is what we were, until very recently, as a country. This may seem like a contradiction, what with the national game of musical chairs we have been playing with the military and the elite for over sixty years now. But in all honesty, the game was always predictable. The music always started and stopped where we knew it would. Winners and losers took turns in pre-ordained successions.

From the Blog pakteahouse By Waqas Rafique How does it feel to be a minority in Pakistan? I couldn't stop wondering, knowing inside the answer isn't very encouraging, as I enjoyed warm hospitality that my Christian friends extended while I sat in a church in the audience of about 150 followers of Jesus. With extremism and sectarianism taking hundreds of lives again, I was reminded of this visit of mine to a small church this past Christmas. Many among the attendees were concerned their faith had earned a bad name in Pakistan because of them being associated with the alcohol trade in the country. Majority of the pastors touched upon this while leading prayers, calling upon their youth to stay away from alcohol and drugs. It's quite strange that mosques are heavily guarded on Fridays and Eid prayers butpakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post
