No education; happy birthday politician saahab

Putting off education to celebrate a politician's birthday? Every August (Edit: and September?) it happens at many universities in Karachi.

Fourth year and I'm still speechless. I really am.

Problems in Pakistan

I remember a few years ago one of our teachers asked me what the three biggest problems of Pakistan were. I said, "Lack of education, lack of leadership and injustice."

I still think I was kinda right. Khayr, tamaam PakistaniyoN ko aazaadi mubaarak ho.

Back to school in Swat

It felt good to read this (Back to school in Pakistan's Swat valley) right in the morning. Swatis have been through Hell in recent past. And, these children? In my opinion, they were the ones who were most affected.

But I have high hopes that it will be these kids who will change the outlook of this region. They are back in school after witnessing all kinds of troubles. They are not your ordinary school-children, who know little about life outside their classroom and playground. These children know the value of life, and are determined to make the most of theirs.

And now, if only the older Swatis pay more attention to the value of proper education...hmm...
