I love being Pakistani

[T-Faz]

I love being the centre of attention in the World media Look at the fodder we provide Every few months we’re in the news. Not a measly column or two in the inside pages. Not the last item before the weather. Headline News, Breaking News, Live coverage.

For all the wrong reasons we are a publicist’s dream. We don’t even demand payment. 24×7 non-stop coverage, exclusive photos, interviews, all for free! This is some serious collective national talent. PR companies are studying our methods. Universities are funding research. People everywhere are asking: How do we manage to do it? How do we always hog the headlines without even trying!

Every news editor reserves space for us as he designs his final layout. Newscasters have one ear tuned to their ear pieces for the P word. Tweeters are up all night. Journalists keep an open air ticket to Islamabad tucked away in their briefcases. Bags are always packed.

Everyone’s ready to drop everything at the mention of the word … PAKISTAN.

Major media events these days are being planned with us in mind. I bet you Kate and William were on tenterhooks all day hoping we wouldn’t upstage their big day.When Kate entered Westminster Abbey, Harry turned, smiled and said something to William. What did he say? Relax bro,no news from Pakistan today! Phew! Luckily for Wills,Obama took a day to digest the information that the CIA had
given him. Otherwise millions round the World would have missed out on her dress and the kiss. All eyes would be transfixed on A-BOT-A-BAD!

Poor ‘Ole Qaddafi. He lost a son.They bombed the hell out of his villa but it hardly caused a ripple.The Arab Spring is wilting into summer. It was and should be the big story but we’ve grabbed the attention again. Sorry Syria, you just have to wait your turn. Hamas and Fatah, be quiet, ‘We’re reporting live from Islamabad.’

Assassinations, suicide bombers,gun-battles,terrorists,drugs,turn-coat politicians, match-fixers, spot-fixers, bigamists and absconding cricketers…you name it we’ve been through it all. Been there done that! Nature doesn’t spare us either. If its not a man-made disaster we are also prone to dramatic natural calamities: earthquake and floods of biblical proportions.

But nothing that we’ve done so far beats the Mother- of- all- blunders. Even by our high standards this was breathtakingly spectacuar. We did it big time. How boring the news would be if it weren’t for us Pakistanis. They would have to have to invent us. Just love being a Pakistani. Honest. Wish it was for the right reasons, though.

Not only this, it will develop us stronger and face reality.

Even though the lament has merit, it makes me sad as to the mess that is playing out.

Maybe, some good will come out of all this chaos, where the Pakistanis will feel enough is enough and whip all to get the house in order, the terrorists and all!

I hope that day comes soon!

Enough of the shenanigans in the name of religion.

They falsely use religion.

oh my gosh! you dragged the words out of my mouth.
Personally i do feel that in times like these we need to consolidate our nationalism as much as possible and for that matter Media should play its role.

We are in the media for all the wrong reasons.
