NFP.. You columns are awsome. The pictures and messages are always perfect for anyone to be glued and receive the intended message. Keep it up. I am fan of your writing style.

After going thru this blog, my first impression is that PML(N) and the judiciary are the same-both are neros.

Essentially, they are all liars and opportunists, nothing more! No self-respecting person, with any decency wants to be a politician.

excellent!! Loved the TV Channel one and PTI one. Truly the media is playing quite a negative role. I hope and wish they stop using the shocking RED colour while giving the news and also the dramatic 'dishkum dharam dhiskum' sound effects similar to indian tv background sound effects! banday ka waisay hi dil hil jata hai news dekh k
