Tragic , life is so fragile and instead of making best use of our lives to help people and ensure peace and prosperity , we fight over trivial matters and act in self interest.

@Zak, Nice to see your views are changing slowly. I have reiterated similar thoughts on a related article. I have decided to invest my time on something productive and meaningful, rather than engaging in India-Pakistan debates to prove who is better than whom. This may be one of my last comments here on Dawn. Hope few years from now people from both sides of the borders will learn to at least tolerate each other if not become friendly.
