CHILEAN MINE FIASCO— PAKISTAN STYLE


Written by Agha Mehr Gul.
The rescue of the Chilean miners trapped 600 feet below the earth for almost 70 days was really dramatic. Life still has value in some countries.
It got me thinking, what the situation might have been had these miners been Pakistanis…..
To start off, of the 30 odd miners, half of them would have been killed within the first 48 hours by the other half over arguments as to who among them was responsible for the collapse of the mine. And if rescue did come, they would be pulling each other down to be the first one out!
Meanwhile, on the surface…
Rehman Malik would have announced within the first few moments of the incident that all the miners were dead, only to retract his statement later.
Zardari would have flown abroad to muster diplomatic support from France and be enjoying life wining and dining in his chateau.
The Prime Minster could have come out with his usual statement that if such an incident had taken place, he was not aware of it, but such things happen everywhere, his govt just Inherited Old practices of mines collapsing…..
Nawaz Sharif would first join hands with the PPP in saving the lives of the miners and then turn against his “bhai” alleging that this was a plot to gain votes.
Imran Khan would be blaming the Americans and then Pak Army for the collapse of the mine.
Altaf Hussain would want the government to hand over the rescue operation to the army.
Ejaz Butt would be trying to figure out who would lead the rescue team.
A Geo reporter would be the first person to reach the miners.
Hamid Mir would have uncovered corruption and mismanagement of funds allocated to the rescue plan.
Iftkhar Chaudhry would take a suo motto and then launch an investigation to find out if any of the miners had benefited from the NRO.
The police would try to stop the miners lawyers from reaching the site, resulting in a clash and “the law” of the country would beat the crap out of each other.
And while the rescue shuttle, which would probably be a rusted barrel tied with a worn out rope being pulled (remember it’s load shedding time) by an old undernourished overworked donkey with flies on his wounds, is lowered into the ground, an American drone bombs the place, killing not only the miners but their families as well. US govt would announce, Mission accomplished. Saying, Militants who were trying to dig their way into Europe before swimming to the USA were happily all killed!!!The World led by David Cameron and UN would applaud the US action.
Rehman Malik : “The miners were already dead before the drone

HUSBAND HUMOUR


Copied some jokes from here n there to HONOUR our sweet husbands like mine, who tolerate a lot of crap from us wives (at least my husband does a great deal). He is an epitome of Tolerance I must say, to the extent that he needs to be beatified into a “Husband Saint”’
Let us women be the ‘butt’ of jokes for a change ;).

A woman whose husband often came home drunk decided to cure him of the habit. One Halloween night, she put on a devil suit and hid behind a tree to intercept him on the way home. When her husband came by, she jumped out and stood before him with her red horns, long tail, and pitchfork.
“Who are you?” he asked.
“I’m the Devil,” she responded.
“Well, come on home with me,” he said, “I married your sister.

A man left work one Friday afternoon. Being payday, instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend hunting with the boys and spent his entire paycheck. When he finally appeared at home, Sunday night, he was confronted by a very angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions.
Finally, his wife stopped the nagging and simply said to him, “How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?”
To which he replied, “That would be fine with me.”
Monday went by and he didn’t see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results.
Thursday, the swelling went down just enough where he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

“Do you really believe your husband when he tells you he goes fishing every weekend?” asked Jane’s best friend.
“Why shouldn’t I?” said Jane.
“Well, maybe he is having an affair?”
“No way” said Jane “he never returns with any fish…”
_________________________
A lady calls the police to report her husband is missing. The police arrive and ask for a description. She tells them he’s 6 feet 2 inches tall, blonde wavy hair and has a smile that makes everybody love him.
The police then go to the next door neighbor to verify this report and the lady next door tells the police, “You can’t believe her. He’s 5 feet 4 inches tall, has no hair and he wears a perpetual frown on his face.”
The neighbor then goes and asks the lady why why she gave the police such a false report. She replies, “Just because I reported him missing, doesn’t mean I wanted him back!”
__________________________
A woman came up behind her husband while he was enjoying his morning coffee and slapped him on the back of the head.
“I found a piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name ‘Marylou’ written on it,” she said, furious. “You had better have an explanation.”
“Calm down, honey,” the man replied. “Remember last week when I was at the dog track? That was the name of the dog I bet on.”
The next morning, his wife snuck up on him and smacked him again.
“What was that for?” he complained.
“Your dog called last night.”
__________________________
A woman finds a genie’s lamp. The Genie comes out and says, “You may have three wishes, but your husband will get ten times more than what you wished for.”
The woman agrees. Her first wish was that she would be the most beautiful woman in the world. “You realize,” the Genie said, “that your husband will be ten times more beautiful than you, and more women will gawk at him?”
“That’s okay,” says the woman, “He’ll only look at me because I will be the most beautiful women.” So the wish is granted.
Her second wish was that she would be the richest woman in the world. “You know your husband will be ten times richer, right?” the Genie asks.
“That’s okay. What’s mine is his and what’s his is mine,” replied the woman. So the wish was granted.
The woman then thinks long and hard about her last wish. She finally wishes that she had a mild heart attack.
A man approached a very beautiful woman in the large supermarket and said, “I’ve lost my wife here in the supermarket. Can you talk to me for a couple of minutes?”
The woman looked puzzled. “Why do you want to talk to me?” she asked.
“Because every time I talk to a pretty woman like you, my wife appears out of nowhere”

What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is every night?
A widow.

A woman was cleaning her husbands dresser drawers when she found 3 golf balls and a box with $2000 in it. She waited for him to come home from the golf course to ask him why these things were hidden in his dresser drawer.
The husband said I’m sorry I hid this from you but the truth is every time I cheated on you over the last 30 years I put a golf ball in the drawer.
The wife was very upset at first but after thinking about it said “I guess 3 times in 30 years is really not that bad! Oh by the way what is the $2000 in the drawer.
The husband replied” Well every time I got to a dozen balls I sold them.

What is the difference between a wife and a girlfriend?
About 45 pounds.

And the best three are at the bottom:
Hillary Clinton goes to a psychic who tells her: “Prepare yourself for widowhood … Your husband is about to die a violent death.”
Mrs. Clinton takes a deep breath and replies: “Will I be acquitted?”

Sometimes women are overly suspicious of their husbands. When Adam stayed out very late for a few nights, Eve became upset.
“You’re running around with other women,” she charged.
“You’re being unreasonable,” Adam responded. “You’re the only woman on earth.” The quarrel continued until Adam fell asleep, only to be awakened by someone poking him in the chest. It was Eve.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Adam demanded.
“Counting your ribs!”

A man and his ever-nagging wife went on vacation to Jerusalem. While they were there, the wife passed away. The undertaker told the husband, “You can have her shipped home for $5,000, or you can bury her here, in the Holy Land, for $150.” The ma N thought about it and told him he would just have her shipped home.
The undertaker asked, “Why would you spend $5,000 to ship your wife home, when it would be wonderful to be buried here and you would spend only $150?”
The man replied, “Long ago a man died here, was buried here, and three days later he rose from the dead. I just can’t take that chance.”

UFF YE CRICKET


Cricket ho ya cricketers, nahin ab koi maza
Ye khelte kam hain, kaat te zyada hain sazaa
Kabhi ball tempering ka ilzaam jhelte hain
Kabhi spot fixing ke baad match khelte hain
Match jeetna to jaise bhool hi gaye
Shayad hi in mein se koi school bhi gaye
Poor ka poora 16 ka squad hai kam aqal
Afsos na koi ek bhi inmein hai khush shakl
Soorat na thee to seerat hi achee rakhtey
Fans na sahee, khuda ko to khush kartey

Din to cricket ne the dekhe 20-25 saal beete
Jab test match to kya World Cup the jeete
Woh tabahi battings Zaheer ya Majid khan ki
Ya zaalim ballings Sarfaraz Nawaz  aur Imran ki
Majid jo ball ko boundary pe karta that hit
Stadium ki saari larkiyaan jaati thi mar- mit
Zaheer bhi kya ball ka hard hooker tha
Aur uspe kya ‘be-spectacled’ looker tha.
Imran ki to khair baat hi niraali thi
Balling to thee hi, shakl bhi jamali thi
Aur woh Miandad bhi kya sheh tha
Ata that jab pitch par, jeetna to tayy tha.
Kya tha un dinon cricket dekhne ka maza
Ab to match dekhna bhi lagta hai ek saza.

INTERESTING CRICKET FACTS


 

http://www.yehhaicricket.com/didknow/know3.html

HURRAY! I KNEW WE WERE SMARTER


An appetiser…
A STUDY published just last week in the National geographic investigating collective intelligence vs individual intelligence concludes that “Being one smart cookie doesn’t matter much if you’re working in a group, according to the first study to calculate collective intelligence—a group’s ability to succeed at a variety of tasks.”
A series of experiments conducted concluded that in a team an individual’s intelligence has little to do with success in thought –based tasks such as visual puzzles and negotiating over scarce resources.
The article further explains, “Instead, a group is more successful if it contains people who are more “socially sensitive”—in this case meaning they’re better able to discern emotions from people’s faces.”
The study claims that women score higher on tests on social sensitivity—hence groups with more women are more likely to excel. I do not claim that, but Anita Williams Woolley an expert on collective intelligence at Carnegie Melton University in Pittsburgh says so.
The intelligence of the groups is further enhanced when group had more people who took turns speaking. And certainly women are pretty good at that too.

And then……..
while searching on the web for something trivial I come across some vital information that is mandatory on me to share with my fb friends.
I did not know that God too had a page on the web. I stalk His profile and see whats going on. It seems God’s been answering some questions about His creation of men and women. I copy paste some of the questions and answers:
Q. How did God get the idea to name Man and Woman so when he created them?
A., God created man first, when he was completed he said in disgust ‘ugh, man’. So he created woman next… he compliments his work by saying, “woah..man!”(woman).
Q. God, why did you make Man first and then decided to do the Woman??
A.Because everyone knows that first we experiment and then comes perfection.
Q. Why did God create Man first and Woman later, in that order?
A. God made man before woman so the man would have time to think of an answer for the woman’s first question
Q. How did God feel after creating Man and then Woman???
A In the beginning, God created the earth and enjoyed it. Next, He created Man and he rested in peace. Then God created Woman. Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.
Q. What were the main differences God created in Man and Woman?
A. Several differences.The most important being:
a). A woman worries about the future — until she gets a husband.
A man never worries about the future — until he gets a wife.
b). A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn’t.
A man marries a woman expecting that she won’t change, and she does.
c). A woman knows all about her children. She knows about their best friends, romances, secret hopes and dreams, favourite foods, fears and dental appointments.
A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.
d). Women always have the last word in an argument. Anything a man adds after that is the beginning of a new argument.
e). A successful man is one who makes more money than can be spent by his wife.
A successful woman is one who can find that a man.
Q.So God, if man wasn’t that smart why did You appoint him the ‘head of the family’?
A.You see there is a catch in that—Man is the head of the family but Woman is it’s neck, it can turn the head in any direction.
Q . Any advice God would like to give to Man to stay happy?
A. Married men should forget their mistakes. There is no need for two people to remember the same thing.
Moral of the story: Even the God thinks women are smarter.

Sorry dear men I really understand how do you feel right now….

My Definition of Intrapersonal Relationship


The finest thing in the world is knowing how to belong to oneself. ~Michel de Montaigne, Of Solitude

I AM THE CHOSEN ONE


Pheww, I was the chosen one!

Place: Le Gaurdia Airport,  NY

I was pulled out of the line and asked to wait.

This followed  a ‘special check’ , with  one hour ‘complete search’the body + the bags.

Asked ‘em if t’was because of the color of my passport or my skin. There was no reply.

“When did you visit last? “

“Six months ago.”

Took everything out of the bags, checked the shoes, pockets. Sent inside for the body search.

After the search, the lady groaned: “You can go now.”

After all, at the exit, holding my Passport in his hands,  ‘the hulk’ had the cheek to ask-

” When will you visit NY next?

 “That’s none of ur business.” I snap.

He frowns and I frown back.

Returns the passport, smiles but I frown back again.

He says, “I’m sorry.”

”You better be.”

I feel elated and victorious.
Not for the  clearance, but for having tried to fight back.

OH YOU SMOKERS!


Oh! You think you smoke?
That’s such a funny joke.
You actually burn
Into a chimney you turn.

You may so pretend
Cigarette is so cool.
Yeah, with fire at one end
At the other end a fool.

Hot you say is smoking
You must be joking.
When the cough gets choking
You’ll sound like croaking.

So you think they’re thrillers?
No, they’re a bunch of killers.
Who travel in a pack
And take dead bodies back.

Jokes apart:
.
It goes far beyond your throat
Into every cell, far and remote
As the after-effects unfold
It begets ailments untold.
For cigarette was designed
To destroy the mankind.

P.S.Written after an argument with my brother Subhi on his terrible smoking habit and seeing Ali’s dp of smoking. And the poem is directed at a lot of other friends and dear ones who’s names I cannot say here.They’ll know who I’m talking about. And to all those who I dont know if they smoke.

BEFORE & AFTER


Life is no less than a joke
