Loud Thinking

Archive for April, 2013

Albert Einstein defined insanity as “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”.

PCB has again selected all those batsmen for the champions trophy, who are known failures against quality bowling viz., Misbah ul Haq, Shoaib Malik and Kamran Akmal. Mr. Kamran Akmal is also known for his below average wicket keeping, as well. Moreover, Misbah ul Haq has also proved to be the biggest ordinary mind, when it comes to the selection of final eleven and bowling changes.

This insane selection of dud players, makes the team highly unbalanced and even more prone to getting out on low scores.

As such, with the inclusion of the above named three players, now only a miracle can save Pakistani cricket team, from a humiliating early exit from the Champions trophy.

This is a wrong perception that ONLY youth of Pakistan, wants change and is with Imran Khan.

The fact and ground reality is, that Pakistanis in all age group are fed up with the status quo and wants a change; and for that matter, they are whole heartedly supporting PTI candidates, to win the elections, in a landslide victory.

We may not be against PPP, PMLN, MQM, ANP, JUI and JI etc., but we are in favour of PTI and PTI only.

The entire nation also thanks the PPP for accepting this reality; and for announcing PPP’s support for Imran Khan as future PM Pakistan.

Thank you the wise leadership of PPP, for reading and feeling the pulse of the nation, at the right time. In politics, timing is every thing.

Today on 28th April, 2013 again the World Bank and the UNO have asked the question that how to end the poverty from the world?

My Reply

Since, a recent study tells that countries which took loans from WB & IMF have experienced increasing suicide rates, there is hardly any answer required to the question, that; what it will take to end the poverty?

Moreover, who else know better than WB, IMF & UNO that 90% of the loans given to poor countries by the WB & IMF etc., is taken back in the shape of consultant fees and other such charges. In the end, the poor loan recipient countries hardly get about 10% of the benefits from your loans and they pay back 100% of the loan with very heavy interest charges as well.

The biggest proof of the failure of your policies are that you give fresh loans to repay the old loans.

During Musharraf era, there was a shocking news that in one particular loan case, it was conditional to hire the wife of the WB country chief, as consultant; and Pakistan was forced to pay her fees at an exorbitant rate equal to 65% of the total loan amount. No action was done by your anti-corruption department against that country Chief of Pakistan.

Your extremely hard/harsh loan terms are killing the poorest of the poor people in many ways, what to talk of poverty.

Don’t forget that very soon WB & IMF, may be tried for crimes against humanity; because your loans not only breeds and enhances corruption, they increase poverty, which also breeds terrorism.

Kindly immediately revisit all the inhuman terms and conditions of your loans, particularly given to the poor and developing countries; and also consider writing off these loans which are in fact, sucking blood from the poorest of the poor, to serve the lavish life styles of your employees, consultants, advisers and contractors etc.

So, this is the real face of the world loan giving agencies to the poor countries and then you have the audacity to ask questions and suggestions that how to end the poverty and hunger from the world, where EVERY NIGHT ONE BILLION PEOPLE SLEEP HUNGRY ON THIS PLANET.

HOPE YOU WILL NOT BE SO CALLOUS AND NOT REPEAT THIS JOKE WITH OVER ONE BILLION HUNGRY PEOPLE AGAIN.

An excerpt (page 173-4) from the book “Sir Vivian The Definitive Autobiography” by VIV RICHARDS with Bob Harris.

“The gentleman (Imran Khan) who was to become a renowned name in the world of cricket and a serious politician did not like what he saw that day. Fortunately, like many of these incidents, it was soon forgotten and since then I have come to know him. I respect his views and I went to a party at his house while on tour in Pakistan. Whenever we are around we try to get together, as we did during the recent World Cup in England. We definitely didn’t like one another at first, but gradually as we matured and got to know each other better we realised the world is a lot bigger than anything we have to offer and we started to respect each other. He was one of the fiercest competitor and, no matter how well you were batting, he would always have a delivery which could come and destroy you. I respect him and his cricketing views; and if the Pakistan side had a leader they looked up to and respected like they did him, they would be a much better and more consistent team than they are now. He always managed to squeeze the best out of his team. He (Imran Khan) and Miandad are two of the most patriotic individuals I have met, and I can identify with that. I am quite certain you wouldn’t be hearing stories about match fixing and other bad things if they were at the helm. BOTH WOULD DIE FOR THEIR COUNTRY.”

“Self-pity gets you nowhere. One must have the adventurous
daring to accept oneself as a bundle of possibilities and
undertake the most interesting game in the world — making the
most of one’s best.”

— Harry Emerson Fosdick

A politician campaigns for vote. A statesman campaigns to inform the voters the solutions to needs and problems.

Mr. Mushahid Hussain please explain

Daily the News has reported a statement of Mr. Mushahid Hussain, that while addressing a 75-member delegation of Command and Staff College, Quetta, he said with reference to Pervaiz Musharraf that “the way the situation was being run was highly regrettable and the red line should not be crossed in any case lest the situation reached the point of no return. He said that any individual or institution should not be targeted in any case but it should also be kept in mind that the whole institution could not be punished for the mistake committed by an individual.”

Will Mr. Mushahid Hussain please explain the meaning of the above statement, in light of the recent unanimously passed resolution of the senate, urging upon the government, to initiate treason case on Musharraf?

If my memory is not wrong, Jamaat-e-Islami is contesting elections for the first time after 1970, with Scale (TARAZOO) as its symbol. Best of luck.
