Traffic!

In the last 2 to 3 years a lot of people have noticed the large increase in traffic of vehicles in Islamabad. This increase can be associated to easy access of cars to the people through banks on easy installments! Due to this people have to wait for several minute at a single intersection. The Capital Development Authority(CDA) instead of making underpasses and overhead bridges is expanding the roads which do not help much. Pollution is also on the increase due the traffic increase. More over CDA has cut a lot of trees to make more roads which cause a further loss to the beauty of Islamabad. I hope some result oriented steps ar taken to curb this issue otherwise Islamabad is soon going to look like karachi and Lahore.

Encounter with death!

Yesterday while coming back from Skaser( a sort of a hill resort) I and my family had an encounter with death. We had quiet a fatal car accident. There wasn't much traffic on the road at that time so my father increased the speed of the car. It was not 15 minutes later that a truck started to turn right with out giving an indicator! The next sound I heard was of tires squealing when my father tried not to collide with the truck. We were very fortunate that our car collided with the tires of the truck instead of going underneath it and then going off road. After that we had half an hour of confrontations with the truck driver after which he agreed to give us the money for the damage that he caused. Anyway I would thank Allah for saving our lives.

Pakistani trucks look like one off these. We collided with one like the truck shown above.

Terrorism!

Yesterday the Pakistani government passed an ordinance which would enable women not to go into jails until they had committed murder or an act of terrorism. I totally laughed my head off when I heard this news. Our government is doing so much to make the American government happy that the word terrorism is being added after every sentence. The president talks about curbing terrorism while apparently there seems to be no such threat. Innocent civilians have been killed in the western parts of the North West Frontier Province. On the contrary our policy makers should solve the more important issues like the lack of availability of power. More and more power breakdowns happen around the country. People are getting poorer day by day and the prices of the basic commodities are increasing. The frustration among people is quite immense.

Hike

Lets start with the fact that Brasil has finally lost its winning streak(Thanks God)! I have been playing tennis for quite some time now. So I am challenging anyone out there who wants to play with me. I also saw Underworld Evolution yesterday! I think its one of the coollest movie ever. I havnt got much time today so I would write a little about the hilly areas around islamabad. In the north of Islamabad there are the margala hills. U can alway go on a hike on Sundays to enjoy a good work out and the beautiful environment and the greenry of the hills. The surroundings in the hills is always cool under the trees. One of the best places to hike is the starting point near the cricket ground above sector F-6. So people enjoy the hike.
