have we lost all our moral values?

Have we lost all our moral values? This is the question we should ask ourselves when we are busy in the worldly dealings. We get so lost in our day to day routine that we cross our limit of inhumanity and are so oblivious to it. Due to our ignorance a lot of white collared people suffer. Either at home or at work, in some way or the other, people you work or live with end up suffering a great deal of pressure, be it psychological or physical.
These days men and women have stooped so low in order to gain profit. They will hurt anyone to facilitate not only their needs but also their luxuries. On political level or on a level lower than that, people bribe the officials with the intention of getting their work approved.
These days here in Pakistan, when you are stopped by the traffic police sergeant all you need to do is show him a note of 500 rupees and you are off the hook. This is how easy it is to get your way around these police officials.
Even the murderers and the rapists can be freed in exchange of a heavy amount of money. Now you tell me, how safe this world is for people who have already suffered from such horrific criminals?
Normally you feel safe when you see a police man standing near you as it is his job and duty to protect all and sundry but here in our dear land we usually avoid being anywhere close to a police man as he can not be trusted.
Lying, deceit, dishonesty, trickery and fraud are few of the deeds that we proudly do.
We should be ashamed of ourselves.

facebooking - favourite past time




Facebook is a social networking website that helps you to connect with your school mates, college fellows and coworkers. It has made the world come so close, with just a few clicks you can see the activities of people living thousands of miles away from you.


Facebook is my favorite past time. It keeps me connected with my friends. It has never failed to surprise me. Whenever I see a name familiar to me, from when I went to school, I get all excited. It’s amazing how you get to know everything about your old friends in such a short space of time.


Hats off to the Facebook team for doing a great job at uniting friends and family.
Three cheers for Facebook.

cold and flu


Hi readers,


I have been down with the worst kind of cold there is. With runny nose and runny eyes, itchy nose and itchy eyes I’ve been going crazy, my head is swiveling. If you know what I mean.


My darling Fatty has been eating ice cubes for the past four nights and now she’s down with it as well. I had given her medicine and at this moment, after four attempts of pushing spoon in her mouth with all my power, she’s asleep. Giving kids their medication is so hard. Fatty fights her medicine from going in she usually throws up or gets it down her air pipe and then she can’t breathe and turns blue in the face…


Anyways it’s so hot these days, temperatures have risen to 45 degrees Celsius here in Karachi, so we are getting viruses due to that.


I’ll get back to you all as soon as I am able to see my laptop screen clearly. Right now I am all teary and stuffy nosed. I can hardly think of any suitable words. I am blabbering away…
