Pakistan: 'Bastion of freedom'

The BBC Urdu service's Masud Alam takes a wry look at freedoms in military-led Pakistan compared with those on offer in the West.

Freedom, like happiness and embarrassment, can be found in the most unlikely places.

I went looking for it - freedom, that is - across three continents and then returned home to find it here. Absolute, complete and unadulterated freedom for all, right here in Pakistan.

It's the kind of freedom people living in the West may envy all they can - but will never enjoy for themselves because they are so shackled by laws, bylaws, regulations and conventions.


A thoroughly interesting read. A funny way to analyse where our society has gone wrong!

I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable pancreas?

There are two kinds of light--the glow that illuminates, and the glare that obscures.

When we are born, our mothers get the compliments and the flowers.
When we are married, our brides get the presents and the publicity.
When we die, our widows get the life insurance.
What do women want to be liberated from?

The average man's life consists of:
Twenty years of having his mother ask him where he is going,
Forty years of having his wife ask the same question;
and at the end, the mourners wondering too.

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane when the stranger turned to her and said:

"Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."


The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger:

"What would you like to talk about?"


"Oh, I don't know", said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK". She said. " That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass, the same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

The stranger thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

"Do you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"



Hahaha... this cracked me up!!!

I just loved this image!

Can anyone figure out what this is?!

There's this guy who keeps forwarding me emails. I have politely asked him to remove me from his mailing list but to no avail. I was about to send a very scathing email but stopped when I got yet another forward from him and realised that the guy had 'balls of steel'.

Here's what I got:

WOMAN has MAN in it
SHE has HE in it
Mrs. Has Mr. In it
LADY has LAD in it
MISTRESS has MISTER in it
MADAM has ADAM in it
HOSTESS has HOST in it
FEMALE has MALE in it so on the list is unending

So No need to proud.....
Girls are always incomplete without boys

Not just that, the email even had quite a number of girls in the recepient list...

Now that's pushing your luck a bit too far... and if he's that much of a dare-devil then so be it... I'm not messing with this one :P
