Where did it go?

Not letting it go, and not letting it disappear but it will despite all the efforts. That is how the fourth dimension twists and manipulates the very fabric of our torn and conflicting realities. That unfinished mint tea symbolizes the befuddled state of mind. Bought that mint plant with so much enthusiasm and it did work and grow and it was so fresh. But right there where it needed me the most, I stopped caring. Well not entirely correct though, did not stop caring but it was the cold. The cold inside me or the barbarous winters outside made me weak and stopped me from taking two steps to water that beautiful mint. The mint died and it was awfully satisfying to see it go through that stage of life. Talking about life, it reminds me of that wavering candle which is inside the glass. The glass protects its candle and candle warms the glass with its flames. One day candle felt boxed by the glass as it needed more air to burn its flames. It ended up burning its very own glass in the desire of more air. The moment the glass got melted, the candle couldn't handle the flame and it went off for the entirety of its existence.

Just some moments before we go to another man made time differential of universe its very probable that we might just become the very entities of this forever expanding universe. And what can be a better way to commemorate new year other than writing a blog post? Well lets give a warm applause to another 365 days of already planned life of a unicorn. 

Security lapse or Abusing privilege ?

We have been over the years, without any misgivings, a giant buyer of sensationalism. In the name of ‘sting operations’ people’s private affairs are being publicized, trespassing is common and using hidden cameras is considered to be a norm these days. This all is being carried out because the eonian theme of sensationalism is very remunerative. This directly prompts people like Iqrar-ul-Hassan to earn their share of this consumer market and make lofty sums of money.

Call it a severe lack of judgement or a blatant hatred for the civilian governments; we are once again supporting someone who has abused his privilege and quashed his trust by puckishly entering into sindh provincial assembly. In this very incident the anchor person has abused the trust he had been entitled to as a media person. He has used his privilege and his profession to wangle a poor security guard, who now stands jobless, in getting a ‘stranger’ enter into provincial assembly. The luridness reached its acme when the anchor person revealed a gun in the national assembly. It was not a security lapse instead it was a judgement lapse. To begin with, our judgment is corroded already but now it has become atrocious. Atrocious to the point that we failed to see how this anchor person has abused the mutual trust between legislative assemblies and media persons which was built over the years. While he was busy in making his TRP’s he has made the entrance of all the journalist community into these legislative assemblies more arduous. 

The same anchor person in numerous other tv shows has lamented over the inflated security of the civilian politicians which now he thinks is not enough and more needs to be done. He highlights the millions being spent for the security of these legislative assemblies but still the security remains ineffective. He should also carry out a ‘sting operation’ sometime in GHQ, perhaps? Because there not millions but billions are being spent and even then we had major security lapses in past.

We are living in a fragile democracy and such media persons leave no stone unturned to make people believe that civilians governments are nothing but corrupt and ineffective. In days time another smear campaign against civilian government will start. The powerful media house will then ask for the release of this anchor person and then they will continue to carry out more of these ‘sting operations’ transgressing the rights of people by using hidden cameras because unfortunately that is what sells in this consumer market.
