Ye imports haye!

Just yesterday i bought a Gillete shave razor and the packaging said that it is made in Poland. What? Gimme a break! What rocket science is involved in making a shaving razor that it cannot be made in Pakistan? At the rate we are going, we are turning into a totally import based economy. We import all the expensive stuff; electronics, gadgets, machinery, plants, power plants, and what not. And what do we do mainly export in return? Natural produce such as cotton, fruits and textiles which give us back not even 10% of what we import. That coupled with the always unstable political and economic situation in Pakistan means that foreign companies (and multinationals) never invest much in building infrastructure and production facilities and always try to make a quick profit just by importing something and selling it in the local market . By the way, did you know that Minute Maid that you enjoy is actually imported from China as well?? Surprised? Yeah, thats true. And its pretty ironic too, since the one of the biggest and best quality "Kino" producer in the world is importing a Kino based drink from outside Pakistan! 

Hypocrites

This happened about a couple of years ago when I was listening to the Azfar Mani show on a radio station. Don't remember which station as they had changed so many channels that i don't even remember the name of the radio station. Anyway, i faintly remember a conversation which Azfar and Mani had with a caller which pretty much sums up the definition of a hypocrite. The topic that day was related to national spirit and loyalty i guess. The conversation went like this:

Azfar and Mani: Where are you from?
Caller : I am from United States.

Some random talk later where the caller discloses that he is was born in the USA but his parents were from Pakistan.

Azfar: So you are true American, right?
Caller: Yeah.
Mani: Suppose your were in the US Army and were ordered to kill your own relative from Pakistan in a war, would you have done it? (Don't exactly remember what relative)
Caller: I will have to. (Which is correct in terms of loyalty and national spirit due to his citizenship being American)
Azfar: Acha, can you sing the national anthem of USA?
Caller: Starts singing the national anthem of USA (Of course, he's born there, why wouldn't he?)
Azfar and Mani: Cut the line.

The call is dropped. 

A word of advice: RJs please limit your besuri singing to you bathrooms!

Just a moment ago I was listening to my favorite song on radio and all of a sudden the RJ decided to take the plunge and practice her vocal chords by singing along with track. And believe me, she was so besuri that it totally runied the whole experience of the song I was listening to. What's with these RJs? Can't they let us listen to a song in peace! You gotta show off your singing talents? Go off and sing at a singing talent show! Or limit it to your bathroom where only the walls and the fittings would gladly listen to your atrocious singing and won't even say anything!! Don't ruin the song, please!
