Welcome home Nawaz Sharif!

It took a while but a Government of National

Unity/Reconciliation is the need of the hour.

Good luck to all members of the Sharif family.

Time for Pakistanis to put the politics of

revenge behind them.

Ras

Apart from the buzz at private universities it was heartwarming to note that even at a heavily 'militarized' university like NUML (National University of Modern Languages) students made history by staging a demonstration across campus. It must be noted that this particular university started as an institute for armed forces in 70s and has continued to keep a stringent 'militarized' culture and is run by a Brigadier who's continued to head it even after shedding his unform and active service. Yesterday when the chanting and shouting of slogans was going on at campus he was left fuming and running around to shout at his security people to the amusement of many. I dont know what its gonna take to make them realize its not gonna work for them forever. The day will come! I promise you!
Bravo! Boys and Galz of NUML... You certainly made history yesterday and thus lot many people proud of you!
You can read the story of NUML demonstration on this link:
