It takes an entire hour for me to get to my work.Leave at 8:00 o clock.Not to surprise me,theres always a new spot for the buses to stop,everyday,as ordained by the traffic police.I love my country regardless..Anyway,bus comes after 15 minutes of waiting,I get on it,and my ordeal starts.To my pleasure,I always get a tiny place to stand on the gate of the bus(too much for my adventurous nature).On my way to the office,we have Jinnah Hospital,so most of the commuters,are those going there,with thier sick children(and there paralyzed minds).
You see,Pakistan,is one hell of a cosmopolitan country.Which keep adding color to this beloved country(or i don't know if they are discoloring it).So those people,from God only knows what corners of the country,rather,are always on a picnic when on the bus.Eating ganderies and throwing the residue possibly everywhere that they can,incosiderate of my fragile office going attire.or anyone like me for that matter.Banana peels,ignorant of the fact that someone might fall,drinking water and gargling it from every window.
Too much for a fragile mind as of mine,yesterday,I saw two women,eating coconut.And I must say,it was one hell of an innovative way of eating coconut.Although they looked fine,as in they were wearing considerable amount of jewellery,which confirmed that they came from well to do families,their clothes neat and clean.So i was talking about how they ate the coconut.Took a bite,chewed it and chewed it and chewed it.and suddenly,there was a blast of white all around.They spat the chewed coconut all over the bus,utterly ignorant of the people sitting around.On my glaring at them,they chose a new spot to spit it.This time it was out of the window,on the road,or any vehicle beside the bus.
Boy oh boy,this is my country,and these are my people.And this is how we love our country.We love to derive pleasure at someone else's expense always.Be it our country,or be it another humanbeing.If we keep turning a blind eye to the ignorance and the lack of civic sense of the masses,where will this country go,and how will it come out of the claws of indifference?A question to which theres no answer.Idealists,are doomed,they should all commit suicide!

It was really amazing experience to go through ur posts. Hats off to u. U are such a prodigy. I cant believe a person who can think and act like u. U r matchless.
Has been a while since I lived in your beloved city - once she was mine, too. I have lost her now, neither she nor I recognize each other. She has grown and I have grown tired. I think you should write - about that road behind the Frere Hall, there used to be a library there with damp musky smelling books. I think you should write about the tonga stand across from Cantt Station - that smelled of horse dung.
