Former Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis considers Pakistan the most dangerous country in the world. "This is a much worse problem, I think, than anyone is writing about today," he said at an event on Tuesday. "We can't have the fastest-growing nuclear arsenal in the world falling into the hands...

It has been about 5 years since Sachin Tendulkar scored the first double hundred in the ODI against South Africa in Gwalior. That feat has been achieved five more times until now. We saw Chris Gayle and Martin Guptill make double hundreds in the recently concluded World Cup. It must be mentioned...

I was just watching the interview of former Test player Arshad Khan on Geo Score. Arshad Khan happens to reside in Australia. He told the interviewer, Syed Yahya Hussaini, that he was regularly meeting some of the players during their stay in Australia. While he did not mention any names, he did...

I know the Lord created us as the Supreme Being, but why do I feel so little; so low today. Why do I feel I am really not a “supreme being”? It has been a month since that dreadful day in Peshawar. I have no connection to the city that I have visited a handful of times. I did not personally...

I woke up feeling grateful and positive but the news of the terrorist attack on the School in Peshawar has left me gutted. I am speaking not just for myself but for any sane person when I condemn the killings of innocent school children in Peshawar in the strongest possible way. The terrorists...

We keep asking what is wrong with Pakistan, and do not seem to have an answer. But we do have the answer and it is simply “illiteracy.” We as Pakistani do not have the knowledge of the religion nor the world. We are lost either way. These have been disastrous few days for Pakistan. The suicide...

Only in Pakistan, the lawyers, the politicians, the military, are all above the law. To make matters worse, the judges who are the keepers of the law are making a mockery of the system. It is safe to say that Judiciary activism has been prevalent in the last decade. Let me give you some...

Today when we are celebrating Pakistan’s 68th Independence, I am sad to admit our beloved country sits far from the vision our Quaid had created. The current state of affairs has created an atmosphere of hopelessness and despair. Unfortunately, we have no one to blame but ourselves. I was...

The Nation is at war and a major offensive has been launched against an enemy who has caused havoc on the country including the deaths of over 50,000 civilians and military personal. The Prime Minister announces the war and next day leaves, with a high level delegation, for a “scheduled” visit...

I was watching a talk show with a ‘famous host’ and something very interesting caught my attention. He mentioned that Pakistan has three types of people – Ones who are living in the 21 century with their I pads and smart phones and account for no more than 1 to 2 percent of the total...

Over 1200 females of all ages are killed in the name of honor every year in Pakistan. It is insane and totally crazy to think that one can safeguard their honor by taking a life. You do not only dishonor the one you kill but dishonor yourself and your family as well. What bothers me the most is...

Today I read a Blog in a local on-line news site that made me think….. While I strongly disagree with the scribe that Jinnah made a mistake in creating Pakistan, I cannot deny the fact that Pakistan is a basket case today. Is it Jinnah’s fault or the people who came after him? I blame the people...

“Now that’s reassuring. That, despite threats, attacks and murders, the media will somehow continue to speak out (as it does now and then) against injustice, criminal gangs, terrorist organizations, out of control state agencies and so on and so forth. But that’s just wishful thinking. There’s...

Whatever the TTP leadership told Imran Khan in their “secret meeting” is a blatant lie. And Imran is an idiot if he believes them. He is a blind idiot for advocating their lies to the Pakistani public. How can any sane person turn a blind eye to their indiscriminate killings and many other...

Have we every thought why Pakistan is in a state of constant regression. It has been said that Pakistan almost elected, a woman, as its President way back in the fifties, if the elections were not stolen by Ayub Khan. I do not know how much truth there is in this statement; but the fact is...

An honest and progressive judge killed, a young aspiring lawyer’s life cut short, a “bhola” police officer dead, along with many more, in the attack on the District Court in the capital city of Islamabad. Yet, we see muted condemnation of the attack from our government officials, and the very...

“Requesting anonymity, security officials told Reuters that 308 civilians, 114 military personnel and 38 police officers had been killed since September 2013, around a time when Sharif convened an all-party conference that unanimously opted for peace talks.” Why are the Pakistanis not outraged...

The Closet Taliban In 2010, the former President and Army Chief, Pervez Musharraf visited Seattle, and while addressing a packed hall of an upscale Seattle Hotel’s ballroom, he called the Sharif Brothers, “closet Taliban”. He was proven right yesterday. PM Nawaz Shariff and his party goons...

In his annual state of the union address last night, President Barak Obama ended his speech with introduction of Army Ranger Sergeant First Class, Cory Remsburg, who was injured in an IED blast in Afghanistan. The president spoke about his sacrifices and his long road to rehabilitation. As Cory...
