Are we to witness another come back????

Every time people write her off, she surprisingly makes a come back and makes people realize that she is a FORCE to reckon with.

I have always been a great admirer of her fighting spirit but off-late even I started having doubts about her survival in the future for the first time. But this time again she proved everyone wrong including myself. It seems that she is well on her way to a grand comeback. Benazir is still a force to be acknowledged and seriously considered.
And I say this based on a couple of facts.
a) she has been acquitted in PIA reference case (By a heavily biased accountability apparatus).
b) and no matter what the Govt. Says or the Deputy Chairman NAB says, it seems that she is going to have her day in the Swiss Reference and it is evident from the desperation of Govt.

Now imagine a Benazir clear of any wrong doing (twice by Pakistan courts, PIA reference and Supreme Court verdict that turned her sentence around, and more importantly by a foreign court) with all her persona, charisma, fighting spirit and vote bank.

Kissa sote jagte ka

The establishment which had our country in her grip for decades is exposed as a result of their infighting. But most surprisingly, the "independent media" is desperate to cover their beloved elements of the establishment (read Nawaz Sharif). Anchors, columnists, spin doctors of PML-N and media in their attempts to cover this mess are creating stories at par with Alif Laila and Kissa Sote Jagte Ka . This Kissa Sote Jagte Ka has signs of their desperation and changing times. It all started with Supreme Court's hearing of petition against Nov. 3 actions of General Musharraf. Supreme Court, partly riding on vendetta and partly on the quest for limelight, in one of its observations on July 29th proclaimed that if Cromwell's skeleton can be hanged after his death, it is time to punish the violators of the constitution in Pakistan. (Below is an image of Express News' next day coverage of Daily Express). Next day, Supreme Court had a complete change of heart ruling they

An Enigma called Imran Khan

I know this one is going to be the most controversial of all my posts. Yet at the same time I deliberated the most while writing this. This post in many ways is crumbling of the myth of my childhood fascination and idol. If there was anything that I followed like mad in my childhood, it was my hero, my idol, the demigod of my childhood – Imran Khan. I would mimic everything that I found him doing. I would bowl for hours in the scotching heat of June and July in street and in the courtyard. I went ecstatic when I found that he too is a Fish-buff like me. His father, Niazi Uncle (someone I have learnt a lot from, and someone who has always been extremely kind to me), is a good friend of my father and a mentor to me. Through this connection I had the privilege of meeting my childhood idol a few times. When he initiated fund raising for cancer hospital, I was selling tickets at fuel stations, road sides, walkways and shops. When he formed Tehrik -e- Insaaf , I was one of its earliest m

Bahar Aai (It’s Spring) – Translation of a Poem by Faiz Ahmad Faiz

It is spring And have come from oblivion All the dreams and all the youth That died in quest of thy lips Blossomed are the roses Those fragrant with thy memory And colored with thy lovers’ blood It is spring And erupting are the volcanoes of guilt The grief for friends fallen The mirage of nymphs courted Open is all what laid in an ashen heart Questions unanswered Thine and mine It’s spring And open are the wounds long healed
