Boredom

The fact that some of my friends made a note of when I objected to Trump's Ascension to US Presidency that He could really be 'different'. So here is the proof, friends, 'not really'. Fahrenheit 9/11 claimed through US finance ministry sources that Saudi Arabia owned 11% of US GDP in 2004 and that data have only made a jump in years afterwards. If Sheikhs of Saudi decide to withdraw all of their money at once from US Banks, US of A would bankrupt. We all know Saudi Arabia as the flagbearer of Wahabi and Salafi Islamic Schools and they are the ones who have funded all incidents of Islamic Terrorism in the world. Osama was their son. USA has to love Pakistan not because of it's role in defying Russians in Afghan war of 1990s but because of it's close ties with Saudis. Every US President has been in 'bed' with Saudi Sheikhs and that will always be the case till the time Saudis have crude oil wells at their disposals and by that time, Saudis might own ha...

To be frank, Modi's several surgical strikes over Pakistan bunkers didn't impress me one bit. The fact that they could be even manipulated made me doubt them some more. But more than anything, they didn't solve any purpose. Pakistan has been engaged with us in a Guirella Warfare. They are a small nation and could only prick us. It's us who make a big deal about it and shout foul. They kill our 4, we kill their 8. What do we gain? Soldiers are recruited for the very purpose on battlefields: To defend or die. It's the foreign policy that matters most. How we tackle an apparent threat from an Enemy nation in long and short term and what tactics should we employ form the Crux of it. BJP, the right wing national party of our nation, is when sitting in opposition makes such hue and cry over a Pakistani infiltration that it appears that when they would sit on the iron throne, they would obliterate Pakistan from World Map on day 1 of their regime. A man as Iron Willed a Mod...

Test Cricket is a game of exultant victories and heartbreaking losses. A game of glorious uncertainties is how the grand old commentators liked to address it. Yesterday at Dominica, when going into the last session of this test match, it was all but assured that it's Pakistan's game to lose control of and Pakistan shed any such notions off by taking one crucial wicket only in the third over after resumption. It was going to be their first series victory on Caribbean soil which even the greats like Javed Miandad and Imran Khan couldn't achieve. A perfect send-off to two of their greatest warhorses of recent times. But WIndies didn't buckle under pressure and their three tailenders played down 99 extremely testing deliveries to provide more than able support to their master anchor Roston Chase who completed his 2nd century in his 10th test match and was on the move to save 2nd test match singlehandedly for his side. He has already become the beacon of Hope for West Indies...

Today is the last day of Dominica Test match. It's not an ordinary day. Firstly, it might warrant all three possible results which isn't usually the case with all test matches. Secondly, two Pakistani Stalwarts are having their final days in the office. I'm following the match today the moment it went live. It shouldn't and couldn't have been missed. All the 11 members of Pakistani Cricket team as well as their support staff were getting their pictures taken. In the central spot were two indefatigable torch bearers of their team: Younus Khan and Misbah ul Haq. Today was their day. Yesterday, they both played their last innings in competitive cricket and left their team not too much strongly placed but no one really bothered about it. Misbah made 2 and fell to a filthy slog that was attempted on a delivery not 'that' fullish in length. Younus too fell to a sweep shot but it owed mostly to fielder's brilliance and his one-handed catch. But what happened b...
