Its a complete chaos these summers..Islamabad is still indecisive about leaving winter behind..summer sun glides in one day and shines with full force and next we know dark clouds and cold showers build up and pour their heart out. The changing weather patterns are affecting our daily lives in many ways.Here we are packing our woolies and there we are trying to rummage for a shawl for a stroll in the night. Just a few hours away Lahore is sweltering in its heat and down South Karachi is literally sizzling in only May.
Weather changes are affecting our minds also..Karachi sizzles with killing fields and Lahore boils with PM judiciary drama. Islamabad on the other hand is frigid about the Bhoja victims. Media sensationalizes with yellow fever and takes everyone head on whether they are the innocent Bhoja victims or affected, trial court dramas of Pm being innocent or not, Lyari battlefield and fleeing public or weather hay wires in Islamabad.We are not concerned with what happens to the people of Pakistan. Weather has affected the mental ability of all and made them insensitive to the crying appeals of the masses.
Whether the media needs to restructure its strategies or revamp its journalistic cells is what we as masses need to decide and take decisions sooner than we think to control a strange pattern of yellow media windstorms before they take every issue in its grip and take it away in a hurricane.
Weathers cannot be planned but Media conditions can be curbed. Sensationalism can be taken with a pinch of salt but when it turns sour and affects the equilibrium of sanity then it has to be prevailed.
Whether or not this weather needs to be weathered for long is what we need to rethink and take action by taking out our pens..because pens are mightier than the swords!

To wish or not to wish???
Wishes are like horses...you can run after them or tame them or drag them but you cannot harness them to your wishes the way you wish them to be. You can take them to a point but cannot make them drink from the same pond you are used to. So a point comes why wish? or wish for or even think that you can swish your wand and your wish will be given.
I some times wish I were Sabrina the witch of 'Bewitched' who could use the twitch of her nose and make things work. Clean the kitchen mess, unburn the food, do my hair in umpteenth no of hairdos and colour experiments and unwind if I did not like a job...Or I wish I could be like that Cinderella with a fairy god mother who could give me a cadillac or a BMW if not a horse carriage and dress me in HSYs latest gowns and Prada bags and Gucci glass heels and transport me to the fairy tale castle balls...hmmn.. but I also know that as it strikes 12 midnight all will disappear and there will I be wishing for more. Corny is'nt it?? To wish or not to wish?? because if we never wished for anything life will have no charm or meaning. It will lose all the beauty and a will to live. Wishes give us a goal to achieve and run after an ambition. They give us the strength to wake up every morning and muse to one self what makes my life worthwhile even though it may be dreary and dull and have no spark. Wishes drag us out of that dreariness and give us that special spark..a glint in our eyes to live again..to feel alive again.
The only mistake we do in order to achieve those wishes is that we forget that all wishes cannot be achieved no matter what we do. So running after them is futile...yes make an effort but if they are beyond your means let go of them. Find a corner in your heart to wish for small happinesses..like sunshine in the winter bleak or a whiff of cool breeze in the summer heat or a smile upon your loved ones face or a rose with a shiny heart balloon or a chocolate chip cake bite from that certain cakery..you know small wishes can make you happy and more satisfied with life instead of huge wishes that stress you and complicate matters and make you depressed.
Wishes can get granted.. but most of the times they are denied...however life doesn't stop you from wishing more and striving to get them because thats what is the meaning of a wish...to wish or not to wish is what you have to decide and move on with life!!!
