Moving Forward

Its elections season in Pakistan. With it comes alot of promises and claims. Every political party has their "Manifesto" which they are thumping down our throats with the promise of fulfilling each and every word of it. Political talk shows are all the rage these days. They have even replaced prime time dramas. Everybody is guessing what will happen next. Few gunius among us also smell conspiracy theory every now and than. Each day brings new breaking news which makes us  wonder about the futur and whole new cycle of guessing beging with it again.
But with all this going on things are moving forward every day, which is good in my point of view.
We Pakistanis are very unlucky in the department of moving forward. Alot of things have happend in the past and alot of people held the very powerful positions but nothing changed. Atleast nothing changed for good. We can debate all about the ethics and what should or shouldn't have done. But truth is that Money hold the power in this game of Power. Whoever has it more, has the power to shape the reality as they want. Unfortualty Mango people like us serves as bate in these power games. Proof of which is the bomb blasts and drone attacks. Common factor in both are the inoccent people being killed to prove some point.
Then again I am glad with this little achievment of  this country. Right or wrong an elected government completed its tenure. Although during their term we all are pushed towards much harsher conditions than anybody anticipated. But then again people among us elected tham.
Well, Part of moving forward is to learn something from the bad decisions. Becasue we are the ones who has to live with our bad choices for the next five years. All Pakistanis has the first hand experience of bearing the bad decision for five years.
Lets hope that we all have learned something and wouldn't make the same mistake again.
