Waiting game



We were having a discussion on a friend’s status & I said that waiting in itself is torture. However she believes that the promise will be answered. This is what I scribbled but I liked it so much that instead of posting it on her status, I thought of posting on our blog :P

What you regard as a promise that is taken as trials by many. Where you are standing, I’ve been there. We get answers but by the time, we get answers the questions change.

People give me a bad feeling (specially the ones who send love & act all nice) & that’s one of the reasons why I didn’t want to continue the discussion over there. I feel bad that I always do this to this particular friend but then I don’t even want my good friends to agree with me. Time is one factor that defines everything for you. You just have to wait. I don’t like to deceive myself & I also don’t believe in giving myself false hopes. In a way, optimism is a good thing but hopes get shattered eventually & that hurts. I actually came too far but everyone has to taste it for himself/herself. Maybe it’s different for everybody. We get the answers. God is not silent. When we wait & go through shit, the meaning of a thing also changes as we change.

Behind the bars



2, 3 days ago I read this story about a man being released from jail after 38 years. This man was arrested in 1971 for some murder but there was no evidence against him. He was never put to trial & as is obvious he rusted in jail for years.

When Qadir Khan toured the central jail in 1999, he discovered that this particular man has been in jail for almost 28 years without any trial whatsoever.

Despite absence of witnesses, record, a police file& other legal requirements, the accused faced the trial for 12 more years due to legal lacunas, & lethargic process.

By the way, his name is Saeed-ul-Haq & he has lost the power of speech. He doesn’t have any family. This is what happens in a country where judges & lawyers come out on the road for petty issues & fun. They say that they don’t have enough courtrooms & yet they have the time to play politics.
