Hope and despair. Feel Good Ol' chap - JPR
There is Fear of enjoying life By Zia-ul-Islam

I am waiting for 50 years plus, looking for hope and luck. Didn't see any. A prosperous pakistan is a blessing for South Asia and the world. Will it ever happen? it is not in the cards / stars.-JPR
Pipe Dream-----From Iran to India via Pakistan; It is all gas --JPR
Excerpt
…….. no reason why a turn of events may not bring better luck for Pakistan. All that columnists and writers need to do is to add a little hope and optimism in the pieces they write. Because, there is always hope.
Because, it is a sin to become hopeless. And do they need a reason for being hopeful? There are
hundreds of them.
Silicon Valley paki millionaires are spending money on the local and presidential elections. Did you consider that stuff is stocked up to the ceiling because there are no buyers?-JPR
Excerpt
Pakistanis are, even today, excelling in their professions and businesses all over the world. In the
Silicon Valley alone, over 400 Pakistanis are millionaires.
Even small shops in remote areas from Cicho-ki-Malian to Chacho are stocked to the
ceiling, and not only with essentials but even with imported perfumes!

No country advanced on LUCK. But you may be right. Some Middle East countries got lucky because they are sitting on oil. How many lucky ones are there? Start a National Lottery, if you want to depend on luck. Even then, there may be some rich paki who will print a ticket with lucky numbers on it after the lucky draw. Faith and Hope are sustaining the poor decent people , but don't pay the bills---JPR
Excerpt
Things may be bad, but things will change, sooner or later. Let us have faith. The masses have enough
Faith. No one has the power to predict what is going to happen in the next year, two years or ten years. There is no reason why a turn of events may not bring better luck for Pakistan.

Mushhead shows signs of sentience, life and intelligence during RamaDan - lord Rama's benevolence-JPR
nytimes.com
Mushhead shows some sparks of sentience, intelligence and compassion in banishing the former PM Shariff to Saudi Arabia. The restoration of democracy, withdrawal to barracks and giving up this Kashmir mania will restore Pervert RiffRaff Mushhead MushaRaff to normlacy. His upbringing in India and the Hindu genes - his genetic heredity rather than his cultural heredity - have taken the upper hand during this holy period. Shariff is banned from holding public office for 21 years. Shariff and 19 relatives packed their bags and left Pakistan in a Saudi plane. It is possible that the General is following the Indian example of no engagement in Kashmir and the return of the fisherman -who were caught in the Indian waters - during this holy period, RamaDan - Rama's benevolence.
