The Killer road of Pakistan

Saryab road of Quetta of the Balochistan province of Pakistan is often referred to as the Killer road.

When we were launching our shop there , the local in the area was quite worried,  because it had already been Maghrib and with each passing minute he would tell us that its getting dangerous we should go , i don't know why and what had compelled us to stay over there for so long , we could have come back the next day and properly merchanidized the shop but the manager there decided to complete the task , taking risk upon his own life and endangering ours as well.

I remember when we were driving on Saryab road , the Sardar or Chief  of the area kept pointing to different points on the road , each and every position he pointed too was the place where either a bomb had gone off  , a security vechile was attacked , a army man was found murdered or a target killing had occurred, hence the name killer road.

The only time i got afraid was when two biker  stopped at a distance from where i was working and started keeping an eye on me ,  I was so afraid that I stopped my work and went to the office enclosure , I didn't tell anybody then , that wasn't  wise thing i did , should have alerted them so our team could also have prepared themselves , maybe it was just my imagination , but it was the only time the road scared me

On our way back , the local driver who was telling us that it wasn't safe to stay after the sun set , kept telling us how much risk we had taken.

I went to the killer road, quite couple of times again for work and loved the place , there were food stalls on both side of the road , most of the road was single and carried a two way traffic. We got a little stuck while traveling on the killer road but it never harmed us.

Boxer!!!

I was a good boxer but the thing in Pakistan is ,  boxers do not get proper recognition on state level.

Inspiring is a technique that boxers use in training where a mock fight is set up and the fighters would fight not on their full potential but give it a 60% or 70% , but my trainer would always try to give his maximum when we was doing inspiring with me.

There was this one time when he hit me so hard that i felt as if a spring of blood has shot out from my ear , i couldn't eat properly for a week.

I never realized that my trainer was trying to knock me out during our training. One day my friend told me that my trainer usually got rough during training session and he spares no one , i just didn't
take him seriously but did mention the same to my trainer , his reply to me was " I have always wanted to knock you out in the ring"

I haven't fought him since

The year is 1950 , place is city area of Karachi , the heart and soul of Pakistan or so the Karachitte  would think this way , however its has always been the worst place to live in , anyways a Karachitte would not agree to this statement and may even start a fight with me on this simple statement and this is all what that is wrong with karachi and its people , the right of opinion has been reserved for the right people only. So for the sake of argument and just to show that i am not the right person , Karachi is a wonderful place and you all should come by and see how we target and kill our fellow brethren in this lovely city , steal mobiles , cops are fat and one would find more rangers here than on the border , this is my Karachi , but i guess in the 50s it may not have been like that but one thing for sure the men of karachi have always been tharki , for people who don't know what tharki means , kindly use google , its a search engine that can be used for options other than watching nude photos of scarlett Johannson.

So the year is 1930 in the wonderful place of Karachi called saddar enters a man named Minto , since he is from karachi it is asssumed that he is a tharki  , Minto sahab is a not a successful writer ( no connection with reality to be assumed) actually he sucks at writing therefore he gets a job at a content writer in the daily news of Karachi.

The house he rents has a room with a small pot hole through which he could see the room of his neighbor , Now enters Kashmala the sexy neighbor girl whom everyone is in love with , Kashmala is beautiful beyond belief , she has hairs so long that they almost touch the ground , a height of around 5:10 or 5:11 with large eyes and skin so white people have sworn they could see the water pass through her throat when she is drinking.

Minto one day while up in the early morning to offer the prayers accidently sees through the pothole and observe that Kashmala is changeing her dress and from here the days of peeping starts for him.

Everyday Minto would spend hours of waiting to watch Kashmala naked , somehow Kashmala also becomes aware of the fact that he is watching him and she kinds of facilitate him with a view.

One day , Minto sahab got to know that she is very much into men who wear pant shirts , for the less informed , in the 1950s shalwar kameez was the dress that everybody worn those day , those who dont know shalwar kameez are again advised to use google.

He spends his full salary to buy a proper three piece suit and on the evening when he is sure that his girl would be on the terrace of thier building he goes for a walk , on the next very day , She brings him some tea and this is how their story starts.  

Minto Sahab starts spending his salary on the wishes and whims of Kashmala as he result he is behind rent , he is high on credit and one day something great happens which should have happened before , the daily news closes down and he loses his job.

Distraught he goes to Kashmala and tells him everything , he has no idea what to do and asks Kashmala for help  , hearing this she tells him not to worry and tells him that she will go and bring him some tea and they will think of something. 

She doesnt come back , Minto goes to her house but her father opens the door and tell Minto sahab she is quite ill and he doesnt want Minto to come to their house ever again.

Minto now understands that whatever between him and her was happening is now over , but howcan one stop not being tharki , the next morning he wakes up early , goes to the place from where he could watch her beloved naked and there he finds Kashmala's father changing clothes.

Things that make you unhappy

To be happy one must have to strive , to work hard , everyone has a dream , but you wouldn't call it a dream if it was easy to achieve. As time passes , this dream becomes more and more difficult to achieve until there comes a time when there is no more time left and what started as a dream and we had the potential to turn it into a reality dies as a dream.

For to be unhappy , we have to,  not let this dream die  , keep the fire burning , but on the other hand , we also should make sure that we wont do anything about it.

Here ,however are a few list of things in general that would definitely make your life miserable and you will surely be unhappy for the reminder of your existence on this earth;

• Make sure you get an education you don't like , but what the society deems  worthy.
• Do not excel in that education either  , you are just there to kill time
• Graduate with minimum numbers  and select a strict  9-5 routine job.
• Make sure this job is not what you wanted and takes you further away from your dream.
• Fall in love with a girl , make sure she is completely out of your league and you are too afraid to express your feeling to her , right up till the moment she is not single anymore.
• Television is a very important tool that will make your life miserable , the more you watch it the more these ads will tell you how miserable and unhappy and how much underachiever you are.
• Food , there is no such thing as healthy or unhealthy food , eat as much cholesterol as you can , if you are lucky , this will give you heart problems and further push you into the pit of self sorrow.
• Get married , make sure the wife you're marrying is already having an affair and doesn't call it off before marriage and breaks up with you just week after tying the knot.
• The list goes on an on , but for the moment , following these points would make you quite unhappy.

Remember , the key to being unhappy is to do things that will take you further away from what  you were meant to be.
