POWINDA

Nations rise and fall and are history. Nations that rise again become civilisations. My land is the oldest civilisation. I have trekked the summit of its highest mountains, sand dunes, its very high bogs and marshes in sub zero temperatures. Like my country I am lost between my ideals and the realities. My country still craves for its identity. I too lie un recognised to myself.

I am an individual of diverse interests. Medium height with a slightly stocky build. Mountaineering is my passion, cooking my passtime, self taught water engineering my occupation and writing my leisure.

By education, I am a security analyst and critically follow events world over. Academically my focus has been Nuclear Strategy and South Asia, two subjects I consider to be part of International Political Economy.

For the past many years I was involved with Security Sudies. Had a hard, difficult and unsuccessful time to convince people what lay in store for Pakistan. Now Chickens have come home to roost, I can just say,
"All my love... came to nothing at all"
