Aramco has been remiss in its responsibilities by causing the death of a potential beauty queen. The $250,000 may, however, assuage to some extent the sorrows of the owner of the late departed she camel.
FauziaSultana has provided a useful reminder of the hard life the female domestics lead in Pakistan; and the situation in no different in India and Bangladesh.
Many of these fancy schools charge the parents of students an arm and a leg. The least they can do is pay their bills, instead of stealing. I hope the owners are fined heavily and go to jail.
Indians too believe in this mumbo jumbo. The worst thing about the eclipe is that staring at the sun without protective eye gear may cause serious damage to the human eye.
Another giant fresh water fish found in North America is the sturgeon, which I believe is endangered. I am not sure about the status of the alligator gar.
It is heartening that in India and Pakistan eunuchs, otherwise known as hijras, are getting recognition of their legal and social rights. I recall that in my childhood they were present at most weddings & danced and sang bawdy songs much to the merriment of the wedding guests. Nowadays it is less common to see them at weddings.
Although they are sometimes mistreated by the police, they enjoy some protection on account of the superstition that it brings bad luck to persecute a hijra.
Young seminary students, many of them from Sindh and Punjab, were misled by their teachers and the leader Sufi Mohammad and brought to the Pak-Afghan border around October November 2001. The Taliban border guards tried to discourage the seminarians from entering Afghanistan, but Sufi Mohammad brushed the Afghan guards aside and marched the youngsters to the front. Scores were killed during US air raids and the remaining youth met a grim fate as described above.
The son in law of the same Sufi Mohammad is none other than Fazlullah, who recently led the rebellion in Swat, which the Pak Army has crushed. Fazlullah has reportedly been wounded in an air raid, and is believed to be holed up in a cave in Swat.
The plot thickens! Let the chips fall where they may, and those who are guilty of prescribing banned or controlled substances to the late actor ought to receive their due punishment.
Drug money is playing an important role in financing the anti-state military operations in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The Taliban suppressed opium cultivation and the drug trade during their rule, but now they have joined the ranks of the Afghan narco lords in a big way.
I do not agree with this approach, which is like trying to cram two meals in the time meant for a single meal. One ends up with a less than memorable high school experience and a sub-standard college experience. There is no substitute for spemding three or four years interacting with highly intelligent classmates and building up relations that last a lifetime.
It is heartening for Pakistanis to hear such good news on the cricket front. Cricket may be a game but for millions of Pakistanis it is part of their psyche.
