Change - Reality or Fantasy?

‎"Naqar Khanay main Totti ki awaz" ever heard about that one???? can i give u an estimated figure of articles published at various publications/blogs/epapers, not to forget the no. of tv shows and programs all amplifying the voices, which a lot of our change promoters constantly harp about....

Take a look around, Pakistan and Pakistanis although still resilient to shy away from demanding change, have somehow delved into a state of acceptance. People talk about change, revolution, protests and demonstrations but everybody is busy trying save his own skin first.

According to che guevara , change can either come from the very top or it may start toppling everything from the very bottom - which leads me to a conclusion that either we have to wait for the time when we hit the rock bottom and then we create enough inertia to start this change ripple or we rise to the very top and push the change inside, all the way to the very core. But as u will agree, reaching the top comes with its own share of moral corruption in an already rotten environment.

In conclusion, i remain skeptical that there would be any change happening any time soon, and i would want to quote Habib Jalib here,

"10 karor yeh gadhay, jin ka naam hai awaam,
Inki maut hogayee, Inki Kismetain zulmaton main kho gayee..."

Is the nation receptive to a change?

Looking at the news and current political happenings in Pakistan, made me ask myself this question. Are we really receptive and supportive to a change?

Well, Over the years one thing is for sure, Pakistanis have become pessimists. No change agent, no actions no willingness, its like we have accepted our faiths. Now with the political front changing its dynamics as new blocks and partnerships are being formed the support from the nation is still an area left ignored.

We have been promised so many times that the statements and speeches done at press conference doesn't entice as anymore. One could easily understand the level of compromise we as a nation have taken upon us, believing the sorry state of affairs as our fate. APML promises to be the change agent and i wish them luck but my concern remains, how will 18 million respond to a new call when we r busy seeing lawyers beating the shit out of cops and cops throwing smoke grenades and killing innocent on the road. I as a Pakistani remains doubtful too for the time being.........
