Evets Inside Pakistan and possible implications

Looking at things as they unfold inside Pakistan is now more than a matter of serious concern.

For it gets closer and closer home everyday...


If 26/11, wasn't illustrative enough, what happened yesterday in Lahore is something that observers all around the world should seriously take note of.

And here's one main reason why. And why I speak with the certainty that I do. Ferozepur, in Punjab is my maternal home.

Where we went to spend our summer holidays with my grandparents every year.

And among one of our most regular and exciting adventures, was a trip to the Wagha border. Where we would gape at the very tall Guards posted on the Pakistani side.

Who sometimes even offered us sweets and Coke. Which we righteously, always refused.

Now this Wagha border is the same place which is barely 20-30 kms from Lahore.Where the attack took place on the Police academy yesterday.

Now imagine a situation in which Pakistan was to implode. Inside out.

We really don't need to stretch our imagiantion very much further now.

Or do we still?
