Then people in Pakistan complain that why do shias take there procession out on the streets causing security to block roads and make there life inconvenient.Well my friends roads are blocked because of the security for the people who are under attack by the extremists.Over here they were not on the streets and were attacked by coward terrorists,so give them a break and stop complaining.

i went to airport to go pak. changed my mind at the last moment. why endangering yourself when you do not have to...
if my countrymen don't understand how to not allow losers in the governance and how not to give free hand to the defenders of the country to in fact loot the country then nopes!! i will wait to visit my birth place when the bloodshed finishes..
if it does not finish then oh well, im not losing my limb if i didnt go there!! "nature of the beast" and we move on. yup! `cold but thats the way it is..
