A pakistani voter or Pakistan?
This picture in today’s Jang which really touched me. This respected Amma had actually been waiting for her turn so that she could cast the vote. The situation is not different than Pakistan which have been waitin for 60 years for its turn to see true prosperity,honesty,awareness of each others rights and democracy. She is trying to save herself from heat just like our Pakistan had been trying to save us from all kind of sorrows,hardships,humiliaty and slavery which have been tasted by nations who have still been struggling for their independence. My question is, how long this elder lady and many other respected elders in our country would keep struggling to save us from all kind of sorrows and crap? How long our elder and tired Pakistan would be able to save us from the heat of miseries? Do we need some external “dose” to realize that we have grown up now to save our elders, our aged and tired Pakistan? Has the time not come to give shelter to this old Amma? Has the time not come to support our aged country? You guys are sensible and wise. Figure out yourself!

This is very touching: Just like “our aged and tired” Pakistan, it is not surprising. Our nation’s position on the Human Development Index slid another two places this year to 136th in a list of 177 countries. With Zardari and the M-factor having the keys to our national safe and resources and the remote control in the hand of the Uncle Sam, what will these elections bring us? It does not require a whiz kid to figure this out.
