What is Pakistan to me?

I found the following sentence very amusing: ``...courtesy a lot of luck and a lot of help from soldiers of my father`s regiment, the Baluchis.``
Cause there are no Balochs in Baloch regiment!!!!

Cant say that I think of India in the same way as you think of Pakistan - but I do have memories related to wars the 2 countries have fought. I was in Lahore, a tiny toddler, in 1965. We lived in a colony very near Wagah border and had to move into trenches while the bombers penetrated the sky above. For the second war in 1971, we were relatively secure in Quetta but even then we had to run into trenches one night when it was announced that Indian planes had bombed near Sibi (Sui gas lines were the target). All that seems like yesterday.

Good luck in traveling into Pakistan.

It shocks me to see how by using good diction, you try to justify the most horrendous things. You sit and explain how YOU were taught anti-bacterial and chemical destruction warfare in the Merchant Marines, but some how you even twist and turn that and blame it on Pakistan. How whacked is that?????

i read your article and confess that i sometimes have similar sentiments,misgivings or what you will. indian life has been brought very close to us courtesy zee t.v.but it seems on both sides of the divide we have this love-hate relationship. one thing that bothers me about the attitude of the indians, and i have met only the government functionary types, is their slightly superior, a little condescending and very holier than thou attitude.why are these types,i`m not generalizing, just narrating my experience,so eager to ``improve pakistanis`` and expect that we would do their bidding???
