PAK crumbling under pressure


The tension between the two nuclear weapon states which have fought four wars with each other is escalating day by day. Even though both the sides are refuting the claim that they are getting ready for the war, the relationship between them is at the worst and both the nations seem to be equiping themselves for the war.

It makes no logic when Pakistan claims that the name of the terrorist captured by India is not in the national registered list and hence he is not a Pakistani. With a population of more than 160 million people, when the list consists of only 60 million people, there is more possibility that the terrorist name would have been in the majority of those whose names were not registered. When the father of the captured terrorist claims that his son is being captured by India, what else is needed to confirm the identity of the terrorist?

US bombings in the Pakistan region near to Afghanistan border, which is suspected to be the place for many Taliban hideouts, have increased in the past two months. With intense pressure on Pakistan, Pakistan is trying to divert the attention of the international community by all possible ways. First with accusation that the president received a hoax call from an Indian minister and then making of false statements that Indian planes intruded into Pakistan region, which the President himself clarified as unintentional “technical error” and later associating India with the bomb blast in Lahore, which proved futile when a Taliban organization in Pakistan claimed responsibility for that blast. All the steps which Pakistan took to divert the attention backfired ultimately, thereby creating further pressure on them.

Pakistan sports secretary made a statement that India is not a safe place to stay and refused to give permission to the Pakistan squash team to tour India which is seen as a revenge for India’s decision to cancel its cricket tour to Pakistan. He cited the Mumbai blasts as the reason for such a decision. If he feels Pakistan players can’t be safe in India because of terrorist attacks in India which is carried out by Pakistan (the whole world believes so), then is it not that their safety in Pakistan(from where the terrorists originate) itself is a big question. Logically speaking, those players may feel safe in India than in Pakistan.

There is no denying fact that Pakistan is also a victim of terror. Benazir Bhutto’s assassination and frequent bomb blasts there give us enough evidence that Pakistan administration’s inability to control the stateless factors operating in their country. But neither the mere statements “we Pakistan people are committed to wipe out the terrorist from our ground” nor the house arresting of Jamaat-ud-dawa’s chief going to bear any fruits unless Pakistan really walks the talk.

Just expressing sympathy for India is not going to help; the international community must put intense pressure on Pakistan to take concrete steps and to produce appreciable results in its so called war on terror. External affairs ministry’s advice not to travel to Pakistan and the verbal accusations on both the sides add fuel to the fire. Only positive note is the continuation of the Lahore Delhi bus services and the exchange of goods across Loc amidst tensions.

Pakistan’s proxy war on India is not going to end unless they are pushed to act. When US have the right to attack Afghanistan when Taliban refused to hand over Osama Bin Laden, why not India follows the same step when Pakistan refuses to hand over the suspects to India? Well, we are not aggressors of war and we look forward for a diplomatic solution though such solution seems to elude.

My Dream In Life!!!!


I am living with a dream, a dream which is close to my heart, a dream which a person living an ordinary life can't achieve, a dream which cannot be realised unless I burn out all my energy in the right direction. Dreams are not just things that we fancy about, but are meant to be realized. They are not just the cloud of thoughts that pass in our mind, but kind of thoughts that we desire from our deep heart and it is meant to come true in life.

I can’t just dream for my dreams to come true. I know the pain when some inner heart wishes go unfulfilled and it will be unbearable when you realise that your dreams can never be realised. But I will never let my dream to become a pipe dream. It is not something that can achieved all of a sudden or it is not the one which depends on luck or favorable conditions but it is one which entirely depends on me, myself, how I work and bring myself to that level which helps to make my dreams come true.

What I want is that to become a CEO or CFO or an equivalent position of a president of some leading organization. I want myself to be established as a shrewd businessman in India,running my business, expanding them beyond the horizons and I won’t settle down for anything lesser than what I deserve and what I desire in my life. Apart from my career ambition, I do want to become a writer and to write articles in leading newspaper. Writing on current social issues, analyzing them and being a critic when required are activities that I crave for in my life.

I know I have a long way to climb up the ladder to reach the level which I wish to reach. The path I have chosen is not of roses but of thorns and I have too many hurdles to overcome. No matter how many times I fall down, no matter if I get completely worn out, no matter if the path is no longer visible, no matter if I fail terribly several times, I will give up neither my dreams nor the efforts which I will put forth till my last breathe.

Terrorosm at its all time peak!!! :( :(

Yet another terrorist strike, over 200 deaths reported and hundreds of injured admitted in hospitals, the prestigious luxury hotels are torn apart, indiscriminate shootings at a hospital, Jewish centre, railway station, the security has been breached, previous warnings had been ignored and the incompetency of India to stop terrorist activities has been exposed to the world wide.

The attacks are not just an act of terrorizing the people but they are sending a message across the world how powerful the terrorist organization has been groomed to carry out a fully fledged attack against a democratic nation. Safety for common people in our country is put into question.

There would be absolutely no improvement in situation if we just involve in delivering a full length speech condemning the terrorist strikes after all damages have been done. Constructive methods have to be adopted by the government and must be strictly enforced. Security check at important crowded places has to be tightened and people need to cooperate for that. More advanced security check techniques have to be employed. Cross border infiltration has to be checked by any means. It’s time we collect sufficient evidence against the terrorists who are happily residing in Pakistan, and demand Pakistan to handover them to us.

Its heart breaking to watch innocent people losing their life for no fault of theirs and the face of the 2 yr old Israeli boy whose parents were killed in the Mumbai attacks is still lingering in my mind. What wrong did these people ever do in their life? Yet they are deprived of their loved ones in such a tragic way. We need to stop these incidents, no matter how tough it would be and how much strict measures need to be adopted, we don’t have a choice but to protect the common man from the blood sucking terrorists.

But its true terrorist menace in India is escalating day by day. We are surrounded by different terror groups. A lot of known and unknown terrorist organizations from Pakistan, infiltrators from Bangladesh, saffron terrorists from RSS, VHP, bajrang dal etc, naxalities, ULFA and many such organizations. But definitely one day, all these groups will be disbanded and people of our country can, rather definitely will lead a peaceful life. Yes, I know this is peak of optimism. Let us remain optimistic in this issue.
