    India serves 90 day notice to Pakistan on Indus Water Treaty!

    Be that as it may, it'd still push onto an overall objective, that's my point, and our history is quite muddled with complex negotiations. Let's see how it plays out.

    India serves 90 day notice to Pakistan on Indus Water Treaty!

    By all measures we've already defaulted, brother, I think your optimism is secure because you're not here. The situation on the ground is extremely fragile and that's precisely why our neighbor is taking this step right now.

    India serves 90 day notice to Pakistan on Indus Water Treaty!

    My friend you should check out history for that it's filled with backroom deals that are honoured because there's no other choice.

    Opinion: PMLN loosing popularity. Only 25% support PMLN now vs 48% PTI

    Brother, what in my post is against democracy? Whatever parliament comes it has to work democratically to ensure our survival. Instead of hunting political opponents down, we need to ensure our institutions are robust and transparent enough that they catch culprits and prosecute them without...

    Opinion: PMLN loosing popularity. Only 25% support PMLN now vs 48% PTI

    The govt is taking very unpopular decisions so it is natural. Though, I don't think that elections would be held any time soon and the PDM side may give economic benefits near the elections that would sway some support to their side. The end result would have to be a parliament that has to work...

    India serves 90 day notice to Pakistan on Indus Water Treaty!

    Just, sir, that I don't think we've been realistic with our optimism or our pessimism. That is the central part of the quation

    India serves 90 day notice to Pakistan on Indus Water Treaty!

    I would agree, brother, if for nothing else than the nightmare that will be climate change the world would have to enter a new manner of existence for we are going to face an existential threat within our lifetimes. The last time this happened there was a world wide civilisational collapse of an...

    The future would always remain a mystery, sir, we have a history of wasting opportunities though

    India serves 90 day notice to Pakistan on Indus Water Treaty!

    I think, sir, that being a choice is going away from us. It'd happen one way or another for the next phase of global economics structure.

    India serves 90 day notice to Pakistan on Indus Water Treaty!

    Indeed, brother. However, it's important to keep ourselves well versed with realty. Our failures have been building up for a long time, unfortunately the discourse I see going around leaves little room for hope. We are in this situation because of institutional lapses rather than individual...

    India serves 90 day notice to Pakistan on Indus Water Treaty!

    No longer the option, Pakistan doesn't have the international leverage to put pressure on India. Most likely what India is looking for is for Pakistan to accept Indian occupied Kashmir as an internal part of India and in return they will respect the original water division as per the treaty. If...

    Irfan Baloch Has Said Goodbye !!

    I believe it was Plato who said: one can either learn or learn how to learn but never at the same time. Trauma is a very real thing. It works in surprising ways.

    Irfan Baloch Has Said Goodbye !!

    I've a confession to make, sir, I was completely out of social media for nearly a decade. I did not catch the new norms that have evolved online. Back in the day, there was an understanding that disagreements and ratings weren't personal. However, that has changed. I'm not judging it to be...

    Irfan Baloch Has Said Goodbye !!

    I wouldn't say it's all lost on us but indeed I agree with you that this is a microcosom of the country and that's why I think it's valuable too. Secondly, my approach is always realistic: reality as it is. Whatever happens will happen, we can do little in it but that doesn't mean we don't do...

    Irfan Baloch Has Said Goodbye !!

    I do not know of his posting history nor your interactions with him but I think it goes deeper into the mechanics of what's the problem here often times that we don't agree on ground rules. Disagreement isn't an insult, what're the rules of engagement and finally one person needs to walk away...

    Irfan Baloch Has Said Goodbye !!

    Precisely, sir, how else will we ever learn? I haven't, I'll try to reach out. I don't even know what happened

    Irfan Baloch Has Said Goodbye !!

    I haven't been here for a while and I'm sad to see Irfan bahi or anyone for that matter to from here. I think it's because the overall environment has become too charged. Moderation has taken a toll on the mods mental health too and I'm sure being online has been harmful for us too. Thank you...

    Dar gives go-ahead to Saylani, other charities to help raise $2bn from overseas Pakistanis

    So is this supposed to be an attack on me? This response is for a particular post and in a specific context. First and foremost, context is always important. Secondly, my point and it's an extremely important one: we have to stop our feudalistic mentality that prevades every facet of the...

    When was the best time to live in 'your city' ?

    The history of civilization is a history of cities; I think, living in the city is your current time because the city's condition is representing the condition of your era. The most tangible representation of the zietgest (spirit of the era) you occupy in history.
