Nothing to report

Except weekly Al Kahf post, couldn’t write for almost five months due to illness. Alhamdolillah, finally got diagnosed last month and improved. Only those who experienced acute B12 deficiency can understand what could’ve happened during this time.

By the way, even if I could, what could have I written. Situation reminds me of Army term when nothing happened for a specific period of time, we used to forward situation reports ‘NTR’ (Nothing To Report) apart from green shootings of agricultural revolution. Since, they took sarcasm of “Mehkma Zara’t” quite seriously next time when smart people wanted to take a jibe at the institution, instead of agriculture department call it “Mehkma Askari”, it might be taken seriously as well. 

So when there is nothing to report, there is always something closer to nothingness that can be reported randomly in satire like:

Finally, after thousands of years of evolution, humanity is about to achieve landmark gender equality (in numbers only) in 2024 Olympics when for the first time 5250 men shall participate alongside 5250 women. However, the problem is that now we have 72 genders (& counting). Wonder how long will it take to achieve equality among ever increasing genders. 

Evolution reminds of Agriculture Revolution and it makes sense that instead AI Revolution of 21st  Century, Information Revolution of 20th Century, Industrial Revolution of 19th Century, we decided to work our way from 18th Century Agricultural Revolution to remaining revolutions for chronological reasons. Quite smart, in fact Morsi had the same plans for Egypt. Any similarity is accidental because we are ‘not’ like Morsi, the US pimp in ancient lands.

Agrarian Mirage might bring FDI but we may end up selling Pakistan for peanuts. However, for a security state, food security is equally important but we might not need any more security as long as Toyota continues to produce Vigo in Black.

Pimp reminds me of US Centcom Commander sitting in our center of gravity in civvies, a crime unheard of. His confidence was intimidating like that of our previous masters British Gora sb as if he was sitting in his colony. 

Probably, he wants us to take the fight to barbarians next door who used to be considered our strategic depth. Wonder we were wrong then or now. Hmmm, we can’t be wrong now (however, I don’t mean it).  Very interesting scenario emerging. May be the beginning of the end. May be this is the Gazvah we have been foretold about except the roles of protagonists. Wonder people in this Muslim belt from Indus basin to east of CARs and Persia would like to get freedom from whom? Since our adopted god is god of money so who carries the day, The Barbarians with 87.50 Afghani or The Professionals with PKR 287.38 against one dollar.

Difficult times to be alive. Challenging times to survive.

Something has to give because status quo is not an option. This nexus of evil can’t continue to rule over us. Undoubtedly, past couple of years have changed this part of the world for ever. 

Evil reminds me of charming adds of our compassionate prime minister all over prime time media at government expense showing his achievements in part 18 months. How well the entire sincere media has been rewarded for their services. How blind sighted we are in absence of those adds. How lucky we are to see those adds. How well Pakistan progressed without Pakistanis knowing it. 

Never seen so much care taken by the caretaker governments as we see in two provinces which sets the tone for upcoming care to be taken in two more provinces and center next month. As much care is needed, it shall take some care before these caretakers show their backs. Irony is that politicians in power still think they are going to take care of this country.
