I'd rather the gate stays permanently closed. Even a pot bellied, ass scratching cop is wasted on them.
Two Pakistani nationals-- a middle-aged woman doctor and her 20-year-old son were arrested from Mirchowk locality here on charge of overstaying their visa period, police said on Sunday.
Dr Athiya Zabeen Ather and her son Mohammed Habib were arrested and remanded to judicial custody yesterday under relevant sections of Foreigners Act, who, according to police were staying here "unauthorisedly" since 2010 after the expiry of their visa, they said.
We are a debt-ridden sorry looking society of the lowest dregs but why has everything been lost? Where is that famous – and Urdu has the perfect word for it – ‘tehzeeb’ or ‘good breeding’ gone? It seems so remotely disconnected from our daily grind that most of us are unable to recall when and where it fell off and what are the chances – if there are any – of recovering it?Grinning parents completely fail to check their brood when it is almost always on the rampage, be it a restaurant, plaza, park, airport or what have you. While the little tyke is causing havoc, neither the mother nor the father will even think of reprimanding their ill-bred progeny. Show a Pakistani family an escalator and you can bet that the children will immediately make a beeline for it and then play havoc with it, going back up and coming down and then again back up and running down. Besides the danger (of course there being no such thing because God specially looks after us), it is a public nuisance. In one instance when a shopper complained, the fat mother in a sequined black abaya gave her the glare and when the shopper stood her ground, yelled out to the shrieking, tumbling brood, “Oye go and play with the trolleys”. Kids running amuck at functions is now commonplace. In a country like this one, it is amazing that, with all the 300 relatives living together within whispering distance, not one can be found to look after the monster who at age nine months can yell the Sydney Opera House down. That this causes nothing but pain to everyone is not even under consideration. It is the same parody you witness when even while a PA announcement is announcing your arrival, people in an aircraft are already switching on their phones and informing the world that they have indeed landed, followed by a run-through on the weather and Aunt Kulsoom’s goitre. The pointless ‘until the engines are switched off’ is only greeted by a mad rush for the storage racks with bags, heavy small suitcases, laptops and ten kilos of Nirala Sweets tumbling across those who are also trying to lift themselves out. Even before the plane stops, the long queues are already formed, fretting and foaming and pushing and shoving for a better position by which they hope to get to the gate instantly. Looking like complete idiots they are still standing 20 minutes later – and while plunging down to the main concourse, another 45 minutes waiting for the baggage.
and Urdu has the perfect word for it – ‘tehzeeb’ or ‘good breeding’ gone?
Much has been written on the subject in the Pakistani press, but the debate remains inconclusive. Two main groups are taking part in the debate; one states that Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah wanted Pakistan to be a secular state, and the other argues that he wanted it to be Islamic. Let us be honest and deal with the subject fairly. Following are three quotes from the speeches of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, which he delivered on different occasions:
In his Eid message in September 1945, he stated: “Everyone, except those who are ignorant, knows that the Quran is the general code of Muslims. A religious, social, commercial, military, judicial, criminal, penal code; it regulates everything from the ceremonies of religion to those of daily life; from the salvation of the soul to the health of the body; from the rights of all to those of each individual; from morality to crime, from punishment here to that in the life to come, and our Prophet (PBUH) has enjoined on us that every Musalman should possess a copy of the Quran and be his own priest. Therefore, Islam is not merely confined to the spiritual tenets and doctrines or rituals and ceremonies. It is a complete code regulating the whole Muslim society, every department of life, collectively and individually” (Message on Eid September 1945, page 175, Speeches and Writings of Mr Jinnah by Jamiluddin Ahmad).
In his address to the constituent assembly of Pakistan on August 11, 1947, Jinnah stated:
“I cannot emphasise it too much. We should begin to work in that spirit and in course of time all these angularities of the majority and minority communities, the Hindu community and the Muslim community, because even as regards Muslims you have Pathans, Punjabis, Shias, Sunnis and so on, and among the Hindus you have Brahmins, Vashnavas, Khatris, also Bengalis, Madrasis and so on, will vanish. Indeed if you ask me, this has been the biggest hindrance in the way of India to attain the freedom and independence and but for this we would have been free people long long ago. No power can hold another nation, and specially a nation of 400 million souls in subjection; nobody could have conquered you, and even if it had happened, nobody could have continued its hold on you for any length of time, but for this. Therefore, we must learn a lesson from this. You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place or worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the State. As you know, history shows that in England, conditions, some time ago, were much worse than those prevailing in India today. The Roman Catholics and the Protestants persecuted each other. Even now, there are some States in existence where there are discriminations made and bars imposed against a particular class. Thank God, we are not starting in those days. We are starting in the days where there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. We are starting with this fundamental principle that we are all citizens and equal citizens of one State. The people of England in course of time had to face the realities of the situation and had to discharge the responsibilities and burdens placed upon them by the government of their country and they went through that fire step by step. Today, you might say with justice that Roman Catholics and Protestants do not exist; what exists now is that every man is a citizen, an equal citizen of Great Britain and they are all members of the Nation. Now I think we should keep that in front of us as our ideal and you will find that in the course of time Hindus would cease to be Hindus and Muslims would cease to be Muslims, not in the religious sense, because that is the personal faith of each individual, but in the political sense as citizens of the State.”Addressing the Sindh Bar Association on January 25, 1948, Jinnah remarked thus: “No doubt, there are many people who do not quite appreciate when we talk of Islam. Some of our non-Muslim friends, who do not quite appreciate when we talk of Islam. Islam is not only a set of rituals, traditions, and spiritual doctrines. Islam is a code for every Muslim, which regulates his life and his conduct in all aspects, social, political, economic, etc. It is based on highest principles of honour, integrity, fairplay and justice for all.”Now readers, honestly decide for yourself if Jinnah wanted a secular state or an Islamic one? From the above quotes from his speeches, we can conclude that he wanted both! He gave the Eid message in 1945 in which he promised an Islamic state to the Muslims of India. The other one in which he referred to religion as the personal affair of each individual, he delivered just days before Pakistan was to formally emerge as a state.

. As predicted Pa'astan's new Twenty20 Super League postponed
Pakistan's first professional Twenty20 league was postponed indefinitely on Friday after complaints from investors over tight bidding deadlines and from players over scheduling conflicts.
What scheduling conflict? It was a ten day affair March 26 - April 6 with April first as a holiday. Bottom line, it was a non starter.

Djinna Actually meant 1-1/2.
1/3 Insect , 1/3 Germ and 1/3 Amoeba. On Human level , it stands for Arabi Puttars in Saauth Asian Land.

First in history: Rupee weakens to 100 against dollar
The Pakistani rupee on Monday sank to an all-time low against the US dollar over forex reserve fears as the country repayed $146 million to the International Monetary Fund.
The rupee fell to 100.1 to the greenback in trading in Karachi, down from 99.30 on the open market Friday, and has now lost 39 per cent of its value against the US currency since March 2008.
