I recently wrote something for The Pakistani Spectator; a nation wide blog, where writers and professionals form different parts of the country add their posts. TPS has a dedicated team of bloggers that work day in and out to make TPS the big success that it has become now. Anyways, Ghazala Khan from TPS who actually published my politically charged article completely surprised me with her new offer. She told me that they are taking interviews of the popular Pakistani bloggers and it would be nice if I share my blogging experience with them.

I wanted to tell her that only 10 people read my blog and out of them 5 are kind enough to comment on my posts But what the hell I gave it a shot!

• You can catch my interview here. and I know how horrible I look in that picture I dont look this scary in real trust me!! and yes I know in most of my answers I sounded really boring and patriotic but what the hell you have to put up with it.

Thank you TPS and Ghazala Khan for the opportunity

The other day when I stopped my car on the signal I questioned myself;

What the hell I am doing?

Waiting for the green light; the voice in my head told me.

‘But why?’ I asked myself again.

Because it’s the rule! You have to stop on the red light, wait on the orange and move on when the green signal shows up. That’s the rule! But why am I following rules especially in the country where I live in. Why should I wait for the green light to show up, why should I wait in the queue for the bills, why should I follow any rules that are prescribed in the rule book at all?

Because you are a common man with little or no value and powers.

In the real world might is ultimately right. The rich and powerful get away with everything. Rules are there to create a fence between classes. So that when a VIP wants to move from one place to another in the busy traffic of Karachi city people like me should wait for their green signal under the scorching heat of the sun.

2007 is supposedly an election year for the country. But don’t we know the results? Gen. Musharraf will be the President in uniform. Ms. Bhutto probably the Prime Minister and the rest of the opportunists who call themselves politicians will get their share of the deal. Everything will be carried out right in front of the world and in the name of the national interest. I don’t know which nation they are referring to because this nation had never been involved in the decision making process and there are minute chances of this extra ordinary thing to take place in the near future. So in the end I will be fined for breaking the signal and the General will get away with breaking the constitution.
