Another loss..


While switching from one channel to the other,i was stunned to read this news in a ticker about one of the best Pakistani cricket player Abdul Razzaq.According to that piece of information he has decided to take retirement from international cricket after badly disappointed by the way PCB(Pakistan Cricket Board) has been treating him.
On the other hand the Indian Cricket League issue hasn't clear completely as yet.Even after all PCB's warnings to the willing players, four of the key cricketers (Inzamam,Imran farhat,Mohammed Yousuf and him) of Pakistani cricket team have assured their presence in the league.
Razzaq's decision will badly affect the Pakistani Cricket scene.How is it possible that our sports department can stay behind in malfunctioning like the other areas.

Humara Pakistan !


Six decades has been passed of Pakistan’s subsistence. Holding an identity or sense of belonging isn’t mere title I or one endowed with. It’s far beyond than that. It allows feeling contentment, authoritativeness to stand at the global grounds and the sense of fearlessness of not being segregated in someone else’s land.

By and large we converse about the deteriorating circumstances the country has been facing from quite a period of time and this head-to-head go ahead to question the basis and creation of Pakistan. But if there was any substance in the uncertainty regarding its creation, There wouldn’t have been any sacrifice of the lives and belongings of thousands and thousands of inhabitants, there would not have been any unification and solidarity among the intelligentsia and leaders then and also there wouldn’t have been any wholeness shown by whom who were willing to breathe in the land where they can practice their cultural and religious customs without being restrained.

We can’t repudiate the notion which our beloved leaders then had in their minds by observing the prevailing situation of the country and people. Existence of Pakistan is so indisputable and deep rooted in its grounds that even after the plundering by its name bearers it is still undiluted and impregnable to serve them ahead.

So, it would be rather better not to fritter time and space in recrimination. Start feeling the sense of ownness to this piece of land, which will involuntarily evoke the feel of responsibility not only as a native of this country but also as a human being too. If this freedom will be taken for granted, it will be more detrimental than any external storming of which our leaders are howling about these days.

Long Live Pakistan!
