Bastobota without reality chara

Thanks for posting your valuable comments on my blog. I noticed you misspelled “that” several times. Please take the time to spell if fully despite of your tight Pakistani schedule; or do not bother to visit my blog in hurry, go find something which speaks Pakistani tone. You also misspelled “traitors”! Please do not learn to live like that.

Before commenting on some write ups, you better gain some knowledge of history which you lack completely. I am sorry to break the ice, it is the Pakistani politicians who were traitors as they lost the election and refused to hand over power to the Awami League. Please live with the fact that the Pakistani armed forces lost the war they started in Bangladesh and were kicked out from this land.

You are however welcome to visit Bangladesh without the fear of being kicked out.

A popular joke goes like this; the US President G.W. Bush invites Editors of 5 major newspapers at his office. Bush in the presence of Rice says to the Editors that he plans to invade Sudan within 2006. He adds, the US force will kill around 1,00,000 Sudanese and 1 beautiful blonde who likes like the pop star Madona. Editors got curious and asked “why do you want to kill a beautiful blonde Mr. President?”. Bush smiles and says to Rice, “What did I tell you? No one will ask about the 1, 00,000 Sudanese”.

2006 is a vital year for the political parties in Bangladesh. BNP messed up handling the fertilizer crisis early this year. Frustrated farmers are attacking the distributors, blocking roads, beating up local authorities. Gas crisis shacked up all the stakeholders. Death of workers became a common phenomenon, so is rich staying out of hand from the law became. BNP had no other card to pull this time then grabbing Abdur Rahman and Bangla bhai in public (they have been in the hidden grip of authorities from the day 1, no doubt on that). The amount of terror these men created throughout the country earlier enables any Bangladeshi to feel relieved. Focus is on the JMB now, which BNP wants to keep as long as possible. It is only the time who will tell whether this card will do the trick or not. As of now both the blondes are arrested! Not bad.

Play but do not get caught

Playing solitaire in the office PC is common and this trend is increasing around the world. It’s a silent way of passing time in the office. Bosses know about it as they play the same, so do their bosses. But Edward Greenwood, aged 39 a Government worker of the New York City did not realize his Boss, Mr. Mayor’s perception on this! Mayor found out that this guy plays computer games and fired this unfortunate man. Edward Greenwood worked for the office for last 6 years and earned US$27,000 a year.

Traffic jam? No problem.

Traffic jams are part of everyday life for most of the Asian urban people. Perhaps it was the first time in Indonesian history that a president became helpless in facing heavy traffic jam, and decided to get on a motor cycle to arrive on time at the location of an event where his presence had long been awaited. Encouraging. But no body would recommend this to our national figures for obvious reasons!

I am the best and who are you?

Italian Prime Minister sure knows history as he knows to play his own drums ( Nijer Dhool Neje e Bajao). First he compared himself with Napoleon and recently it is Jesus Christ!, he compared himsefl to. He said “I am the Jesus Christ of politics,” and continued “I am a patient victim, I put up with everyone, I sacrifice myself for everyone.” It is all Election FUNDA as Berlusconi will be competing centre-left opposition leader Romano Prodi in the April 9-10 general elections. Comparing himself with the greats of the past puts him in a batter position, he believes. This is so similar to our political leaders. Some one’s daughter or someone’s wife does the trick, don’t need qualifications.

Greedy Air Marshals

Two U.S. Air Marshals were accused of drug smuggling charges. They used their positions to smuggle narcotics through airport security and onto planes for transport. Both men face 10 years to life in prison and a $4 million fine if convicted. This explains why they are not in the list of most corrupt countries. No matter who is involved in unlawful doings, they sure grab the culprits.

Lahore shopping

Discount mania has hit the city in the 3^rd week of the month. Colorful banners advertise 20 to 50 percent off on winter collections. Well colure is fading in some husband’s wallet as well! “A man will pay Rs 20 for a Rs 10 item he needs. A woman will pay Rs 10 for a Rs 20 item that she doesn’t need. That is the philosophy of discount offers,” said Taimoor Ali, a young irritated husband as his wife bargains with a seller.

Not all women shoppers are the same, however, said Masooma Raza a sellsman. “Discount offers are just publicity stunts, discount prices are almost the same as the original ones,” she said.
