An Encounter With Sheikh Rasheed

   Couple of days ago, I had this interesting encounter with Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad, The Famous Politician from my own city Rawalpindi. I use to Like him a lot but then with the rise of PTI things changed dynamically and everything other than PTI was secondary to me. In all these times, I never thought about
discussing Sheikh Rasheed. But Now after August 13th, I was more inclined towards Sheikh Rasheed because his alliance with PTI is imminent atleast at his stage.

    So in this encounter, I started with welfare projects that he started in his tenure. He did ask
for suggestion and appreciated me for praising his goods projects. But my real tool was criticism,
I expressed myself openly and that with proper stats and names (Politicians as well as Journalists). And
Interestingly he spoke bluntly without hiding anything as it was an off the record conversation. I
noticed he gets hyper too quickly and seldom controls his anger. He asked my opinion regarding general
perception about his politics in young ones which i shared without any hesitation. Anyways the best part
happened at the end when he asked me to re introduce myself, educational background and political
affiliation. I did that and I was surprised when he offered me to work with his Team in coming election
campaign, With primarily focusing on Local youth and Cyber/Social Media. As its my Prof coming up and my top most priority is studies so I told him I will decide later and if I wanted, I might join you in November after I am done with my Exams.

Imran Khan and The Lethargic Youth

Disclaimer : This Piece is written purely with political intentions and has nothing to do with extra social ranting/criticism and shall not be taken in that context.


It is said that an army of jackal lead by a lion has better abilities of Performing in any given situation when compared to an army of lion lead by a jackal. In my opinion its is safe to apply this to Imran Khan's Change team. Lets be more specific, By using jackal, I am actually referring to our awaken pro-active (not) youth. I don't want to exaggerate or underrate them all but its the Bitter truth and we should face it.

We all know that our beloved motherland has always been under military control (direct or indirect). Being a democratic country, Pakistan is suppose to be ruled by Democrats and Politicians. Whenever they are Blamed for current disastrous situation of Pakistan, the argument of Military Rule is frequently used by these Politicians who have been ruling us for ages, inheriting their political legacy from generation to generation. By plotting such scenarios they (politicians and establishment) try to prove that The Slogan of CHANGE as Raised By IMRAN KHAN Is Immature in itself. The general public and the conservative analyst seem to disagree with them on this and the Liberals go otherwise.

Imran Khan's Slogan is truly based on the ground realities and is according to the sentiments of the public. He, himself and his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, both are enjoying the appreciation for their stance from all classes of society. Before speculating about the success of IK and PTI, we should consider the support Imran Khan has and are they powerful enough to exercise their fundamental right and bring this dream of change into a reality ?

Most of people reading this post will shout Yes We Can !!!
They are all right on their places but I have many doubts.Why do I have so many doubts ? The Simple Answer is Our Lethargic Youth.


Let me put it in another way. We can clearly see the massive support Imran Khan has across the Internet world and the Social media (Facebook,twitter etc). Millions active members and followers but we must remember few things; Not every Pakistani is on the place where you are. Try to Perceive things their way. The least we can do and we should had done was to Register the unregistered vote. Stats show previously it was 35-37 Million unregistered voters. On Imran Khan's Petition supreme court directed Nadra to register votes of these 35 million voters. Now the window of registering new votes has been closed, We are still left with 16 Million unregistered voters, Most of them are self claimed awaken and educated young men.

I really don't favour blaming our youth for any of this. They are inexperienced and they need constant guidelines. They were intentionally kept this way, Just because our rulers never were, and are still not ready to hand over this system to them no matter how well deserving they are. They always have plans of exporting fully furnished Born in Pakistan and Raised in USA/UK leaders to rule on us. But not this time !!
IMRAN Khan has sent a clear message that We Defy You, We will not accept this slavery anymore. Being his supporters we should realize the importance of this short time we are left with and should come hard on our opponents.

Just Remember its NOW or NEVER.

How Do I Take On Life

I am a prospective youth of this country - Imaginative, practical, outspoken, impulsive, patriotic, and capable of rational thinking.
To me, it seems that frustration, corruption, hypocrisy, lawlessness, insecurity, and insincerity have run deep down into our roots to such an extent that at times I wonder if ever we be able to uproot these evils or not ?
My fellows and friends says that I should not worry about such things and instead, should pay more attention to my studies.

They are all right but isn't the environment in which we live, a part of our education? We learn from our surroundings and cannot remain indifferent to the events taking place around us. In the years to come, we will become adult citizens; we will become a part of different institutions and be very much a part of the system in the broader sense.
In current scenario, we as a nation, are suffering from moral deterioration. We have forgotten  our values and have indulged in malpractices of all sorts.

The bitter truth is that we care so much for our false pride and ego that we have become blind towards our flaws and shortcomings.
