The Taxi Wala!
Today on my way to NIPA, as I sat in a "Kali Taxi" the driver asked me "You are the only one?" (Yes… in English). I had to think for a second and then I sad "Yes just I am going". (Meant' no body was accompanying me). Then he started asking me questions, like “Do you teach there?” etc. and his medium was mostly English (Although not with that eloquence but he was able to convey his message). After a mile or so a traffic police constable stopped us (routine check victim). The driver took the documents and came back in three to fours minutes (I thought his documents were all o.k.). So to my curiosity I asked him “Why did he stopp you”. He said vehemently,“Millat ka pasban hai Muhammad Ali Jinnah”, and looked at me with a slight smile on his face and it took me at least 10 seconds to understand what he actually said. Then he started elaborating it “Qaide-e-Azam go every where, Quide-a-Azam he hain jo sab ko bacha laitain hain. Paisa phaink …. Tamasha dekh”. Then finally I uttered “Lekin aakhir kab tak?”
“Zulm phir zulm hai…… bharta hai to! mit jata hai”
On this he said!
”Kon jeeta hai teri zulf kay sar honay tak”
And I had no comment for that.
After that he kept discussing the men in power and on important posts, stating that “most of them are non-technical and simple insincere. Even if they show a little sincerity the things would be so different”
As NIPA came, in my normal and formal “Nice meeting you!”, hidden was much, much more.

Yes i agree with you. Infact, our nation is suffering from corruption and insincerity. Otherwise, we would also have achieved the goal of development like Malaysia and China.

well u know why pakistan is not developing like malaysia and china? bcoz pakistan is jealous of its neighbours and is busy destroying afghanistan and trying to destroy india too but fortunately that would never happen and this dream will never come true and remain just a dream!

pakistan has destroyed afghanistan and hopefully one day pakistan's condition will be worse than afghanistan's...Insha'Allah...Amen!

Well Mr.Anonymous, Please do some fact finding exercise of who is jealous to whome, or who is threatning to whome.
As far is Afghanistan is concerned Pakistan has always been a great ally (Or I must say the biggest supporter) of Afghnistan, Pakistan was in the top nations trying to prevent war in Afghanistan. and let me tell you that since the last more than 20 years we have opened our hearts for Afghan refugees and have treated them like our brother. Those hundreds of thousands of refugees are still thriving in Karachi and other cities.
About progress... Well thanks God that now we are on the right path and the world is definitely going to see great things from this country (Insha-Allah). In the last 5 years we have emerged from a disgruntled nation into a highly energetic and progressive nation.
(It was just because of our corrupt politicians that have prevented us from acting to our potential.. and We also know that the pond is still not all clear but, I have no confusion in saying ..... Watch us.....)
Good luck to U and rest of us...

Well mr tabraiz feham..never claim that pakistan has been a great supporter of afghanistan, pakistan has been the greatest enemy of afghanistan and the entire world know about it..including afghans! u double standard pakistanis...pakistan has a double face u know..one is trying to show that they have been and will be afghanistans friend and a good neighbourhood and the other was is and will be trying its best to destroy afghanistan. afghans have been suffering for 27 yrs and pakistan is to be blamed...i mean it! theres nothing left in afghanistan and even now pakistan is not leaving afghanistan alone bcoz of its own damn advantages. while afghans were suffering from the war the pakistan took advantage of it and got so many benefits from afghan war.and yeah u don't have to tell me that afghans took refuge in pakistan from the last 20 yrs..coz we know it and afghans spent all their money there in pakistan and it has improved pakistan's economy immensely. in short pakistan used afghanistan for pakistan's progress and benefits. who's creation was those idiot extremist taliban? it was pakistan's creation! pakistan created the taliban and sent them to afghanistan and destroyed afghanistan even more...and afghans will never ever forget this! afghans will never ever forget those 7 dark years that pakistan's creation the taliban did in afghanistan. those damn taliban didn't let the women to work to study or to even go out..it was pakistans creation the taliban who tortured afghan women and children for 7 long years. afghanistan is destroyed and pakistan hasn't got enough..pakistan wants to remove afghanistan from the map of the world...but that will never happen! Insha'Allah afghanistan will get better and better with the help of Allah Almighty!! it hurts so much that...this damn uncivilised pakistan was jealous of afghanistan and didnt let afghanistan to progress. why the hell they had to create the taliban? if pakistanis r so religious they should have created the taliban for pakistan so that those idiots would stop pakistani women from getting education and not going out of the home without a burka. if pakistanis call themselves relgious muslims so why don't pakistani women wear that f-cking burka? why pakistani women go out almost naked? so wake up u double faced, hypocrite fake muslims!! Afghans will never forget what pakistan has done to afghanistan and will always hate pakistan and pakistanis...sorry to disappoint!!

u double faced pakistanis..each and every pakistani got the Quran in one hand and in the other hand the bottle of wine..pakistanis pretend of being good muslims while they r doing business of cigar, alcohol and gun. pakistanis keep licking the west's ass while pretending of being friendly with islamic countries..pakistan is a shame in the name of islam and please stop being fake, stop having two face..stop the damn hypocrisy..u have to realise that falseness won't be accepted any more...u have to realise that u won't succeed to deceive ur neighbouring countries by pretense and falseness any longer!
By Anonymous, at 11:49 PM
If pakistan hadn't been a double standard...if pakistan had been sincere to its neighbouring countries why would all ur neighbouring countries hate u? india hates pakistan...bangladesh hate pakistan...iran hate pakistan...and last but not least Afghanistan hate pakistan...each and every Afghan hate pakistan from the core of their hearts! so that means pakistan and pakistanis r bad...otherwise people won't hate u for nothing..each and every neighbouring country hate pakistan bcoz pakistan is not worthy of love and it deserves just hatred. pakistan is what do they say "aasteen ka saanp"? yeah exactly...thats how pakistan is.Double standard pakistan...one should stamp the "double standard" slogan in each and every pakistanis forehead becoz thats what u r!

Dear Miss Anonymous
You may be right and I may be wrong, you may be severely angry and Yes... I get brutally furious when someone curses my "land of pure"... but healthy discussion is only possible if we mind our languages.
First of all... I have no clue, no idea, no light about your theory of Jealosy. I mean why Pakistan would jealous Afghanistan, it hasn't got power... hasn't got money.... its has no educational infrastrucuture... no scientists or whatever?????????? Gosh .....instead..... believe it or not ... in every jumma prayers... We pray for you.. for Afghanistan, for muslims suffering there.... We think of you as our brothers as Islam teaches us to do so. And you are telling me the stoties from MARS.. Bah.
How did Afghans defeated Russia?????? Did Afghan fought on their own ??? no.. not at all. It was Pakistan Army and Pakistani mujahideen backing up Afghanistan on each and every front. and you talk about benefits .. what benefits ??? few thousand weapons in AID or some millions???? at the cost of its very own sons...?????? what do u think? it that what the benefit is???? Alas.....
Afghan Refugees bruought benefits to Pakistan and its economy???.... what a joke..... Before Afghan refugees penetrated in Pakistan and specially talking about Karachi ... no one knew what a Kielashinkouf is? And since then till yet, we have been suffering directly from this cancer that they brought us.. They provided all the weapons right from Afghanistan for various terrorist activites. And there is no question of boom in the economy as it really had a very adverse effect on the economy and specially gave enormous rise to unemployment. Because if a Pakistani was doing some job for Rs. 3000 Affhans were ready to do it for Rs. 1200 to 1500. This really was a very worse time for the masses and a bonanza for Afghans.
Thats why I said they are still thriving.. And on the other hand as a matter of fact there is not even a single venture or investment of Afghans in Pakistan that you can boost of. Please don't just say ... that's why I
said do some fact finding exercise and then talk.
Talking about double standards???????? Pakistan is the only muslim country that stand tall when it comes to problems with muslims all over the world,
whether is it Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan or Kashmir.... No one from muslim ummah dares to raise voice for muslims(including saudia Arabia - claiming to be the most adhering muslim country).. But Pakistan. Take the history and it would tell you. Every country grinds its own axe, but not Pakistan.... We've always stuck to the right even if we had to pay the price. And it is an open fact that if there is a power in Islamic world, that is only Pakistan. And forget not that we really had to pay the price for that as well...... Its is an open secret that Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan
(Pakistan's atomic scientist - and my hero) gave nuclear technology to Iran and libia so that muslim world can get powerfull. But in the end unfortunately Iran and Libea spoke out and told the name of Dr.Qadeer....... (this is what is called "Aaaasteen ka saamp")
Your views about Pakistan in regard to wine and other related stuff are extremely rubbish I think you haven't been to Pakistan or just talking on clouds. As far as Burka and other related other islamic issues are concerned... tell me what do u think about those burka wearing muslim nations who are all getting drowned in western culture day by day. Al-humdulil-Allah we are still far better than those.
At-last I could just pray that... May Allah shed upon us the light of truth and fact, show us the right path. May Allah keep every muslim and every human free from troubles. May Allah bring us all unity, peace and happiness. (Ameen)

well..by saying that pakistan was jealous of afghanistan i mean that they didn't let us to develope!! i didn't say that we have this and we have that and thats why pakistan is jealous.this is also jealousy when u dont want peace in a country coz u know that if there will be peace there will be everything.pakistan didn't let afghanistan to have peace coz pakistan knew that if there will be peace in afghanistan so afghanistan will develope and ppl will get education and so it will be better than pakistan. and ofcourse pakistan is a country not older than 50 years so afghanistan was much much better than pakistan and thats why pakistan started destroying our country! u r telling me that pakistan helped afghanistan to get rid of the russians? who the hell asked pakistan to do so? there was usa u know? and yeah again pakistan did this for its own private benefits! and yeah pakistan didn't want afghanistan to progress.its becoz of pakistan that we have so high illiteracy in afghanistan. you can not educate urself in war and thats why pakistan has always been trying hard so that we don't have peace in afghanistan so that we can not get education. and afghanistan has survived 27 yrs of war so Insha'Allah we will get education too.

God...... your claims are so baseless that i can not decribe it in words, either someone has brainwashed you about Pakistan to such a level that you can't think anything but negative, or may be you are like some of those in Pakistan who impute and curse America even if their house window is broken :) .. saying "hmn... it must be a conspiracy of America". Just like that you seem to say "whatever is happening in Afghanistan is becuase of Pakistan".For God sake .... think about it... We have nothing to do with your progress.. indeed if you progress it would be good for us.. because as a very close neighbouring contry we could provide you with various services, materials etc as even now Pakistan is doing. If you progress we would progress... If you are at war.. we would be in trouble... Wasn't America at the brink of attacking Paksitan too when your leaders denied handing over errorists??????
khair I don't want to 'bang my head against the wall' anymore,you go with all the hatred and curses for us and I go with all the love, prays and good wishes, for everyone. lets see what God has to offer to us in return............and yeah... I just don't believe in talking and beating about the bush, let me know if in any way we can make things better for you poeple in there... specially in the field of education, becuase this is the very first step towards progress and prosperity... May be we could sponsor a website which someone from you could manage in your own languages to provide a resource to the emerging students.may be 'each one teach one' or in any other ways. We would always be happy to contribute.

Well, the debate between Mr. Tabraiz and Anonymous is intersting, but kindly mind your language while discussing a matter. As far as Pakistan is concerned, It had always helped Afghanis. But the Afghanis are ignorant. They don't know how to say, "thank you" to their supporters. They are still in Pakistan, and we look to them like our brothers, but they still hate Pakistan. Also I have come to know, while travelling in a bus in Peshawar, I listened to an Afghani who was saying that N-W.F.P. is our territory, and it is basically the part of Afghanistan. A person sitting beside me, asked that Afghani, why you gave this territory to British? He replied, we were paid for it. We have been assured that we will get N-W.F.P. back after 100 years, in 2000. The person again said,"How you can justify yourself, while you were selling your own Pathan brother to the British?"
I think it is enough for them.

And Kindly don't be anonymous. You should have courage to say whatever you think.
