The princess and the playboy..

A couple of weeks back, our beloved president, Mr. Zardari had a flirty moment with the gorgeous Ms Palin, the vice president nominee for McCain camp. When I asked my friends about there opinion on this, I got a mix response, some saying it showed a more softer side of the country (not to forget the president represents the country), others said that being a head off an Islamic state, the president should have shown respect.  Personally, I agree with the later.  Our Constitution states that the country is Islamic republic of Pakistan, and the president who ever is elected from the full Parliament needs to be a Muslim.  Being a Muslim, it is important that the person respect the values on how to treat a woman.  But again, watching Zardari, reminded me of this old BBC documentary I watched when i was a kid, The Princess and the Playboy .

Pakistan 9/11????

The Islamabad bombing, a cowardly act by the so called Muslims warriors who thing that the religion they follow is the true Islam, and what they are doing is what is right...after the Marriott hotel bombing local politicians claimed that this is the 9/11 of Pakistan. Is it? I remeber after 9/11 (in America) the entire country was in shock and mourn. Every American citizen wanted revenge and bring the cuplrits to justice. Are our people ready to do it, where the one who have bomed the hotel are from the same country as we belong. Is it an external fight or an internal fight? I personally beleive that america knew who where the enemy, where as we even though , knowing cant do any thing, after all the one who are bombing us where initally made by us during the soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

what you see is not what is actualy there..

hi guyz..its been a few weeks since i have written a b log, mostly because i was tied up with my project, trying my best to do a service for the country and also my appraisal :-) .anyways coming back to more serous matters.i was skipping through various channels today after iftar and came across a report on CNN about Saudi TV channel and a clerk who is saying rubbish against the soap operas which are made. Now, being a liberal person I agree that people should have freedom to watch what they want, however CNN was trying to show that the Saudi people are more interested in watching Lebanese or Turkish (dub ted in Arabic) operas cause they have a more sex appeal where as the one shown on Saudi television, portray a men dominated society with them beating there women. Now now, CNN if I show an episode of bold and the beautiful where the guy slaps her lady for sleeping with another man or shouts at her 16 year old daughter for getting pregnant, what would you say?
