Such tragedy has befallen on this nation again. Such disaster has struck us again. Such bitter taste has been left in our mouth again. It couldn’t have been scripted much worse than this. I am lost at this. In all sincerity I believe we are all responsible for this quagmire. We have such hypocritical people ruling us , that it was only inevitable. We have never fought for ideologies. We have only struggled for people. Be it Musharaf ousting Nawaz Sharif,Chief Justice, Mosque case , we have just tried to save faces here. We have only tried to ensure that faces don’t change. How ignorant we are that we never realized it’s the system of short-sightedness which we have to change. We can not even be characterized as a nation in the truest sense of the word. We are a herd. See the definitions and realize we are no better than cattle. This should suffice for self-evaluation , before we embark on another journey.

My soul bleeds today. My eyes are red with tears. But my will is ever stronger. I shall fight, in any and every capacity I can. Where word ,‘capacity’, is not used to put a limitation to my abilities, but to stretch it.
