The Monsoons are Coming

Great article, Zehra. Keeps the tsunami in our minds. Too often after a big hue and cry, we forget events such as these. Keep them coming.

Ahem, er, recently a whole bunch of your countrymen were washed away and wiped out by torrential rain in the southwest and a dam breach to boot.Why wouldn`t you be lending a hand to them there folks in your own neck of the woods?.Going by the images on the indian news channels,BBC et alia the people of your country`s southwest looked rather bedraggled and forlorn, clinging to their few possessions, and perching on any high ground they could find desperately seeking help from some quarter.Reading the interacts on chowk, one would come to the conclusion that pakistan is a highly developed nation, with roads like , ahem, Singapore, as another article on this site would have us believe, and other impressive infrastructure.Are the images form your nation`s southwest an aberration of some sort.These people looked desperate and needed help.Doesn`t charity begin at home??.

as if you have not repeated this enough ......I still have no idea where the government fits into this country or any equation having to do with the country...

why?

in the north it could be the result of tamil factor...what is holding it up in the south? general malaise? corruption? lethargy? or real incompetence?

three cigarettes and a beer can only take one so far...what happens then?
