Amreeka

 You want to go, live, make your life, settle down there.

So go.

Go and live your life in a country where you'll always be a second-class citizen
Go and make your home -a place, where you'll always be the consignee of Paki slurs.
Go and pay taxes to a government who'll squander it on military jaunts -Vietnam, Bosnia, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan to quote a few.

Go and work for a country, whose red and blue flag continues to encroach upon our green and white one.

So go and you have my wishes. But let me tell you I've met people who went there to score the American dream but ended up at doggie parlours or wiping dishes at country restaurants.

  1. Continue living in Pakistan where the poor has nowhere to go and we don't give a shit. Where children are dying out of starvation and where we literally drain the food down our wash basins. Where there is no electricity in summers and no gas in winters. Where merely registering an FIR is considered as an impossible task. Where the feudal lords' kids shoot innocent civilians as part of their fun time. Where people kill each other in the name of religion.

  2. You're right. Living here is as ugly as it gets but escaping it is surely not the solution is it?

  3. No it isn't but the whole point in my comment was to prove that you can't criticise a country like this. We have problems too and it is way too understandable why people want to leave and there is nothing wrong with it.

  4. I agree with the first comment more than the post but I think I'll never leave this country. Apna mulk apna hota ha, jaisa bhi ho.
