Kingdom of Heaven, Teeth, PPP, Pakistani Bloggers

Two things are on my mind, one the movie, ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ by director of Gladiator, yes none other than Ridley Scot and the other one is a guest post at the blog of one of finest Pakistani Bloggers, Awab aka Teeth Maestro. I am taking up both in a bit detail.

Its 02:37 hrs and I am done with watching a wonderful movie named Kingdom of Heaven. This is sort of a movie I long for and I simply loved it. ‘You are not what you are born but you are what you have in you’, these are the dialogues that got stamped while watching this movie. I would say, I even was not in a mood to blink my eyes. I think I will watch it again some time soon. In this movie, the pride and dignity of men was highlighted. Not only this but the lead character appears to fight for common men in which he takes pride and it turned this movie into a fantastic watch. Moreover, I forgot to mention that I watched it using PTCL broadband’s internet entertainment portal. They have a fair collection of Hollywood, Bollywood, Lollywood movies, all time hit Pakistani Drama serials like ‘Sunahray Din’, ‘Chand Girhan’ and all sorts of music. I think I will explore more with them.

As soon as I was done with this movie, I thought to have a look at my Facebook account and there I found this news in my feed about this guest post titled “Pakistani Bloggers and Zardari: A suggestion for Both!”. The title was catchy so I couldn’t stop myself from exploring it further. Once I was there on Teeth Maestro’s blog, it made a good and thought provoking read. It is about the political situation in Pakistan, the role bloggers have been playing and what they need to do in future. It is sort of an editorial from the author  named Silence who blogs at Islamabad Observer Blog. In this post the author has mentioned his analysis,  his polity and has tried to influence the opinion of bloggers of Pakistani origin. His point is a bit valid but at times, my mind was clicking on something and I don’t know what was it but it felt like something is missing. Keeping these subjective thoughts apart, the writer has rightly pointed out that the ball now is in the court of President Zardari and he need to deal the problems of Pakistan according to the wishes and aspirations of Pakistani Nation. Apart from this he has also emphasized the need of Pakistani bloggers to play an active role.

At the moment, I am thinking that both movie and the post are related in some way. Let’s not go into the details. I am not in a mood of thinking too much at the moment and even don’t want to end this post beautifully, I would simply say good night and sweet dreams since I need to sleep too.

    Dr Farrukh – good thoughts – and as usual you maintain a very balanced and subjective stance – so your thoughts are important to be heard.

    Just a minor correction the post were not exactly my words but in fact were a guest blog from Silence – I apologize to have not been clear enough though the credit was attributed in the start if the post
