    • ]]>     This is supposed to be a very short post.. Because I don’t have much to say..
    I really hope that I can think of something better and write more but I guess I am not good at this.. so I will simply include some chat logs..

    <Wizard> Quaid-e-Azam ki wajah se Pakistan Aazaad howa aur logon ne unhain hee bhula dia
    <StoryTeller> He was the leader, but saying he is the sole responsible for our freedom is not true.. many people sacrificed there lives and even children for Azadi..
    <Wizard> okay but why do we have to neglect our leader’s birthday?
    <StoryTeller> I guess not giving a public holiday is fine.. but there should be programs and events organized to honor him..
    <Wizard> Bhai, for 27th they have arranged FREE Bus Ride from anywhere to Larkana.. everywhere I go people asking “Tum larkana jarahay ho?”, media per har taraf yaheeh hay.. news channels per news se ziada is din ki baat horahee hay
    <Wizard> Who is paying for all that? the tax-payers?
    <StoryTeller> But how many actually pay tax?
    <Wizard> If they stop wasting tax money on Shadi in PM House and Such events and if people can see that there hard-earned cash is utilized properly THEY WILL PAY TAX.
    <StoryTeller> nah..
    <Wizard> Khair that’s not the point.. the point is that we have neglected the nation’s leader, but we are remembering a martyred party leader in a very huuuge way.., Liaquat Ali Khan was martyred as well we don’t remember him like this.. so why 27 has to be an exception?
    <lameKid> and no one talked about several fire fighters who died at Ghakar Plaza sukker..
    <Wizard> yes, they are the heroes.. they died while trying to save others..
    <StoryTeller> but 27 is for remembering a hero too..
    <Wizard> Yes, but why only 27th.. Why not 25th, why not salute the heroes of 23rd December? Why not honor those who sacrificed there lives in the three wars?
    <StoryTeller> hmm.. saheeh baat hay yaar..
    <lameKid> itna kharcha event per kia gaya, media coverage, free bus rides, everything but nothing for heroes of 23rd december, OR Quaid..
    <lameKid> even jo compensation announce ki gayee hain unhain un ke relatives tak pohanchne main pata naheen kitna time lage, kitne dhakke khane paren unhain..
    <StoryTeller> pohanche bhi ya naheen.. who knows..
    <Wizard> sad..

    I am not against anything or anyone.. 27th is definitely for a hero, a great leader.. but we shouldn’t neglect others as well..

    There is a song being played by Najam Shiraz on TheMusik etc today most probably it is dedicated to this date.. it has a line/verse: “Hum koi shahadat bhoolay naheen.. bhoolay naheen.. Mitti ki mohabbat bhoolay naheen..”

    I just wish that it was true.
