An air freshener can was left on the seat inside a car parked in the sun and due to high temperature and heat generated in the air freshener it exploded and penetrated the side panel of the door. Thank God there were no children in the car.

During the recent swearing in ceremonies of the PM and others being televised live, I noticed a senior army officer pushing the chair for a dignitary, which took me back in years to1954. Allow me to narrate it in some detail:It was the first re-union of the Corps of Pakistan Signals, in March 1954, and the finals of the Inter Regimental Hockey were being played at the GHQ Signals Regiment Rawalp

Most culprits escape punishments from courts due to lack of evidence or the prosecution not doing their job proficiently. Consequently not a single terrorist has been punished so far and this fact alone is contributing a great deal in the lawlessness of Karachi. The prosecutors and the judges have to do their jobs better, but speaking realistically they too have their problems. Police, apart from

Churchill while defining politics and politicians had said that a successful politician was the one who promised moon and stars to his electorate before the elections and after being elected to the power could explain to them as to why he couldn’t do all that he had promised. MNS has certainly grown up to qualify for that category of successful politicians. He has so far taken to explain

entirely agree with Rauf Klasra who on a tv talk show held the DPO and the DC Gujrat entirely responsible for the most tragic and untimely death of 16 very young innocent school going children and their outstandingly brave lady teacher, all burnt alive in the inferno of a van that got engulfed in fire due to the exploding of its substandard gas cylinder. The standard safety specifications for th

How I wish the above news going rounds on the internet is not true. And if it is true, nothing could be more ridiculous than it. Would Nawaz Shareef look any more dignified in it than Manmohan Singh in his cotton Kurta Pyjama? Why can't he emulate his favourite Indian leader in matters of austerity and simplicity? How would he sermonize

In a news item Altaf Hussain was quoted saying that it was yet not decided whether the MQM would sit on the opposition benches or join the PPP in forming the government in Sindh. Come on Tafu Bhai, people don’t have that short a memory and know it too well that in the Pakistan politics there are two shrewd politicians who can never afford to be out of the government – one the MQM and the other Ma

I just couldn’t help laughing when on a private tv channel I heard Mr. Shahid Siddiqui – an economist – commenting upon the possibility of a 15 billion dollar bail out by the Saudi government said, that it all depended upon Mian Nawaz Shareef’s going for Umera after becoming the Prime Minister and meeting with the Saudi monarch

It looks nowadays a PM doesn’t consider himself worth his salt until he is served with a couple of Contempt of Court notices and/or once or twice his orders are nullified by the SC or is sent home packing ! Of course not an iota of shame is felt by the contemning PMs in submitting their unconditional apology to the SC, not once but as many times as required because they don’t mean a bit of it and
