Amnesia

I think a lot about things that I would write about in my blog. But usually a fail to remember them when I sit for writing!
I guess I have got "Amnesia" or something...
While I spent most of my life in a secured PAF communities, I had little exposure to the civil life of the general public. Last year while living alone in a big city for the first time gave me some good experience. Usually after school I talked quite less. I used to think a lot about different things( Although I don't remember nothing out of that). I don't know why I am writing this but I have to write something!
Last Saturday we had a soccer match. We haven't got much of a team but we play well. The match drew 1-1 but it could have been a win if it had finished on time! Anyway I don't want to go into details. Hoping to play another one before winter vacations.
Last week my dad went to Germany and I asked him to bring me a digital camera. Although he couldn't bring one but one of the companies that he visited gave him a camera as a gift( And its a canon camera). Once more Allah( God ) listened to me! And I couldn't believe it. Anyway now that I have got my own camera maybe I will be uploading more pictures and maybe some videos of my own.
Oh! I just thought about what I was writing and then saw what the topic was. I think I seriously have got Amnesia.

I am back!

So I had my last paper today! The paper didn't go as well as I had expected. Anyway what's done is done. I don't have much time so I just want to write about this news column that I read in DAWN last Saturday. It was truly an eye opener for Pakistanis. Here's some extracts from the column....

"Raising red flags is perhaps premature at this time, but is any one back home picking up signals and connecting the dots? “If I were a Pakistani, I would worry…there are frightening times ahead, said Seymour Hersh. “You guys are next.
It’s Pakistan’s turn after Iran. “Your nuclear programme is the target. This is no idle chatter. The sombre warning comes from a journalist well wired with intelligence sources, not just in the American CIA, but the Mossad in Israel, RAW in India and the ISI in Pakistan. The Pulitzer Prize winner has sources crawling around these intelligence agencies who gladly hand him classified information."
(This has been said by investigative journilist Seymour Hersh)

FM Radio!

Recently I have been listening to different FM radio stations. This is because currently I have no access to TV. So I have to quench the thirst for entertainment through radio( maybe the lines got a bit cheesy).
Anyway usually I listen to FM 89 and FM 91. Both of them mostly air shows in English. I initially liked 89 because of its much better presentation and much clearer signal, but at the moment I like 91 because of its much better content.
One of my favorite show is the Fasi Zaka show aired at 10pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays on FM 91. Yesterday Fasi was discussing things with the guest about different things. They had started off with discussing problems of middle class people and Fasi asked that what was the biggest problem faced by the middle class?
And she said that it was the transport ! I totally agreed with her. While I was living alone in Islamabad transport had been my biggest problem.
First of all the public transport in Islamabad is run by private van owners. So it sucks! There is no proper seating available in most of the vans. The space is all cramped up inside the van.
So my point is that its the responsibility of the government to provide trasport facilities to the public who can not afford there own cars. For god sakes its the capital of the country and you dont have any efficiant mass transit system!
A month back I read a news article that said that the government was doing something about giving a contract to some company( possibly Deawoo). I hope they do something about it soon.
