I remember a dialog from "The Dark Knight", which said:
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself turn into a villain".
Musharraf came to power as a hero, but stayed long enough that the people have now started to think him a villain.
The whole country looks with beating hearts towards our ‘representatives’ sitting in the national and provincial assemblies led by some ‘coalition’ government whose leaders are out to quench their personal grudge against the president whom we have seen and learnt to live with over all these years.
But why am I getting frustrated ?
Sooner or later, the president will be called upon by the parliament and will walk down that long aisle towards the stage and members of the parliament will be booing him… scolding him – forgetting all the reforms that he brought to this cursed land of filth but remembering only the allegation that he is a US Agent.
I am getting frustrated……… But why ?
With people not ready to trust Zardari and the government not ready to trust the president, we are entering an era where i see more turmoil in terms of economy, politics and law and order. The country is clearly divided in two facets both blaming the other to be an anti Pakistani. Who is right, who is wrong ? I am in no position to say.
This makes me frustrated…. again.
The past couple of weeks have made me a paranoid, I don’t see any escape from the mental turmoil i am going through. With the apparent threat of the Indian and CIA Agents called ‘Taliban’ taking over the city in a bloody coup to the political crisis, I; like millions others seem stuck with no way to escape. In my heart I believe Musharraf is on the right path and this Zardari is playing a big game but what makes me this certain ? just a hunch… nothing else.
With yet another independence day approaching us, I feel pity for us, for this country which has come on the verge of disintegration in just a small time. Its time to bid adieu to this unity and patriotism… one last time.
Why am I getting frustrated ? Why should i fucking care ?
I am getting nothing from this country whether musharraf is in power or not. All we get is rising inflation, more detoriating law and order and diminishing savings.
But sometimes just a ray of light makes people achieve what seems impossible, and Musharraf; I believe is that very ray of light.
