Restless

After going through half the city, in search of a PC cooler, having trouble with my almost dead bike and confronting an unwanted person, I thought to myself, what else can go wrong? And you know… it did. Just when I was about to sleep I kept getting calls and I was forced to wake up and deliver this issue to you.

What I saw this eve was a demonstration of how senseless, one could be. Ex President, Musharaf announced his participation in the APML (All Pakistan Muslim League), officially. It was a bit hysterical of him. But one could easily get over it without having a serious injury. You could easily count the hairs on his mustache and number of his supporters, by sitting right in front of your TV. I don’t want to go through the whole speech but why should we give this person another chance, who claims that he was misused and misguided by his advisors? Well, that’s what his advisors claim that they were misused by him. One way or the other, they both are trying their level best to make fool out of us.

They would have succeeded, if you ask me. Luckily, we don’t have enough time to consider this buffoonery. You want to know my favorite part of the speech? It was when he said that he will make Islam as the supreme law. I would have written “LOL” here, but it’s against the customs/etiquette of the article.

Barrister Aitzaz Ehsan defined this particular act as just to create a tension in the political environment. Let him enjoy his days, while he still can. I am pretty optimist that he won’t be enjoying it for long, just as his predecessors haven’t. It’s an explainable reaction when one is restless. It’s a shame that we don’t learn from our past. We keep on repeating the mistakes. It has become a hazardous habit and God knows where will it end?

Not to forget the recent speech of Zardari. You can clearly see the crowd. Musharaf sure did out number him on that. It’s hopeless to dwell on the dream that someday this government will get its senses. Still, there is something that can be done. The Midterm Elections. We have already passed the half term. Let them do their time (i.e. the other half). Believe me it will bring a good trend. But still there should be a midterm election. So that it could be analyzed, what the government had been doing all this time, just the way it’s being done in USA. It’s an opinion and no harm in considering one. I am sure we’ll get a chance to trap Mr. Smokey, aka, Musharaf. Until then, fingers crossed.
