How I hate my internet.
There are no words to explain how truly deeply I loathe it sometimes.
No other words but Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s
“How do I loathe thee? Let me count the ways”
I loathe thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach…”
I loathe Egbert (my pc), I loathe my anti virus software, I loathe my mouse, I loathe my keyboard, I loathe my speakers which are so ancient they don’t even have an earphone socket…
I HATE them all.
And yet, the sadness, I cannot live without them.
I’m getting to the point where the only thing I can truly live without is my country.
I’ve mentioned before somewhere that not having cable is a blessing in some ways. This opinion of mine has gotten stronger nowadays because it gives me and my fiancé something to talk about. He tells me all the shenanigans of the press and politicians for the day and I laugh at them. It sure beats discussing finance. He knows nothing about art and design, and doesn’t seem interested in learning, and I don’t know crap about financing- but that doesn’t stop him from explaining it to me. Haye the difference between men and women…
Thing is though, these politician joke gets old. There’s only a short time you can keep laughing. At some point, you realize that it’s stopped being funny and started becoming repetitious. I’m tired of watching the same comedy routine for the 22 years I’ve been alive. I’m tired of watching “Democracy’s greatest victory” every few years, knowing how little it’ll matter in the future. It doesn’t matter who wins when both the contestants are swine.
So no, I won’t celebrate the CJ’s reinstatement. I don’t think the lawyers have done a great job. Anyone whose case has been in court for the last two years would know what a pain in the ass they’ve been to the ordinary people they’re supposed to be representing right now. The Supreme Court will not become honest and dedicated to the people, and the Chief Justice will not- and please let me underline this- NOT be the savior that this country is looking for.

Agreed on all accounts, i.e about the CJ.
As for finance! I hate finance and finance people! They are the reason we are in a recession right now!
And dont worry, I went through the same phase! Actually that phase aint over yet, and I dont think it ll ever be over. But you learn to live through it.

I think this is not the right time to use such aggressive words as
“The Supreme Court will not become honest and dedicated to the people, and the Chief Justice will not- and please let me underline this- NOT be the saviour that this country is looking for.”
Give them space. May be history is “really” rewritten this time. As for not having a cable as blessing. I agree to it in a different sense….not going to write abt…bottom line is not having a cable “IS” a blessing.

bohot farigh ho!

Exactly!
As for history being re-written this time… I think thats the motto of every damn election campaign! But it never seems to happen! No my friend, this is the new boss, same as the old boss, if not worse. Same old story, different characters.
AS for sorry asses, that ‘ll define pretty much every damn Pakistani there is. So I would suggest that you guy not get your hopes up.
In short! I agree with hira completely on the CJ matter.
