Rafia's Stories: I wonder why...

Rafia wanted and planned to watch a Pakistani drama and was pretty enthusiastic about it but she ended up watching 'The King of Queens.' Why did this happen? I wonder why...

Rafia was feeling considerably ecstatic after coming home from her evening class. The thought of being consumed by dramas portraying her Pakistani culture to the fullest was proving to be overpowering for her. Upon hurried completion of her chores, Rafia ran towards her ever-so-comfy couch and turned on her TV.

Inaudible Cries of Desperation

An asserted failing country which happens to catch a plethora of media attention even by a mere domestic conflict – unworthy of public disclosure – has acquired nothing but loads of negative comments and none of its commendable news are ever acknowledged, let alone aired. People speculating closely into this excessively condemned country fail to notice the destitute silence Pakistan has adopted and the minute extent to which it comments other nations. 

Pakistan seems to be a lonesome child, deprived of his mother’s love – who happens to be residing in the fruitful world of her own – and fostering emotions of destitution, causing him to relinquish any productive desires; thus creating a black hole for him to delve into the darkness of his unending misery. For Pakistan, the word mother would be synonymous with the term President and the miseries would turn out to be the horrific incidents occurring recently; which never seem to loosen their sturdy grip but leave scars, marking the everlasting agony. 

A nation, heavily criticized and claimed to be literally boiling up on the world’s map, innocently lacks the fundamental tools which are needed to establish the basis of a successful community. Despite its countless attempts of trying its luck at acquiring prosperity, Pakistan unreasonably ends up being brutally defeated, mainly due to the stoic governmental attitude and inadequate provision of basic human rights.

 

An effective solution which can efficaciously steer Pakistani nation on the road to eventual success pertains to the idea of bringing about changes; changes which need to be made by the nation as a whole and not just by a single individual. Government’s active role in adequately improving Pakistan’s erroneous situation is indeed a prominent point but due to serious absence of public’s say in governmental affairs and decisions, nothing or very little can be done at the moment. Thus, ardently concentrating on the changes which can be made relatively quickly and by the people, seems to be a worth a try.

Goodbye



This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 13; the thirteenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton.



There was a congenial time long ago when people – specifically the elders of eastern communities – heartily believed that their revered lifestyles and established practices would be relived and continued throughout the subsequent generations, by their own off-springs. Unfortunately, such a belief lasted only for quite a bit and later came the era of some absurd fashions which foolishly happened to be asinine mixes of both the west and the east. And now, I take you on a journey which – after much introspective thoughts – I have earnestly named Goodbye to the Eastern Traditions.

Before completely diving into the details, I would like to sincerely point out that the usage of the term “eastern” refers to both the countries – India and Pakistan – which are considered extremely wealthy in terms of renowned traditions. Most of Pakistan’s traditions are a variation of Indian traditions since both the countries were one unit in the olden days.

The universal "Should homosexuals be given the privilege of using the term marriage?" question requires attention!

Yet another same sex "marriage" taking place somewhere around the world and some couple acquiring the privilege of getting married. No offense to any of the homosexuals out there. My point is to eliminate the usage of the term "marriage" for homosexuals and use something else like "civil union" or similar in order to retain the original meaning of the term marriage. Almost every religion defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman, thus considering a legal union between two people a marriage would do injustice to the word.

Vent out your anger on the matter, be it for any side. And again..no offense to anyone. It is a "vent out your anger" blog after all!
