So I'm back, for another stint of writing on Selfistan. Yes I know I haven't written in about a month - you'll have to forgive me as I've been excessively busy - conference organizing/executing, paper-ing, midterm-ing, assignment-ing, sleep-ing (well for the past week that is). So my break is over (boohoo) and I have to be up in 9 hours to get ready for class (I hate having to commute) - and I have a paper due tomorrow - so I thought what better time to post on RFS than now??
I think this post will be about Pakistani politics (I have to - I'm sorry if you dont like politics), but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I want to write about how funny I find it that Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari are back in power, how 'democracy' has been upheld by non-democratic individuals (not-so-Sharif Nawaz and Mr. 10 percent), how the only guy who's actually done stuff for Pakistan is going to probably be impeached and maybe even tried for treason by not-so-Sharif (the same guy who tried to force his then-army Chief's plane to land in India a couple of months after a war with India because he wanted to appoint a friend to the post - guess who the army Chief in the plane was), and how the USA is now scrambling to keep its ally in power while pandering to its false claims of democracy.
It's so idiotic. On the other hand - kudos to the country for having free elections - maybe the first ever - and to General Kiyani for not getting the army involved in any capacity.
I'm still laughing. Oh Pakistan....hahahaha
Selfistan - a land, well webpage, where all you see and read is stuff that I want you to see and read. Inspired by my constant ramblings and thought processes and by Salman Rushdie's quote on Selfistan in "Shalimar the Clown", Ramblings From Selfistan looks at the deeper and the not-so-deep aspects of life as I see it. Welcome to my world...
