Rangers Kill Unarmed Boy, Karachi Pakistan

On 9th June 2011 a young boy attempts a robbery at boat basin Karachi (Well known as the Karachi food street in Clifton area) unfortunately(for the boy) the boy got caught during the act. And in a Pakistan with so many frustrated people, no electricity, not petrol, no CNG, prices going high, unemployment and much more, people take out their frustration where ever they can.  I feel they did the right thing they handed over the boy to people who are responsible to take care of law and order situation.

So this is what happened
1. The boy attempts a robbery

2. He gets caught

3. The public beats him up but lets him live in fact they were nice to him and let the authorities take care of it.

4. A person with a camera some how finds out about what is happening and was able to reach the spot on time ( HE is the most important person in this story)

5. The boys face is shown to the camera and the film is rolling.

6. The boy is handed over to the Rangers who i believe were near the Benazir park in Clifton, remember this place is less than a kilo meter away from where MR Zardari lives.

7. Immediately a Gun is pointer on his head by one of the Ranger, the boy says it was a fake gun, and I did what i did because of compulsion.

8. But they did not listen to him and he was shot twice in the leg. All on VIDEO all being recorded and the rangers knowing that everything is being recorded but still they did this.

9. The boy was loosing blood fast and was pleading for help but no one took him to the hospital. Even tyeing a belt around his leg would have helped buy more time but no one stepped up.

10. First of all the person who fired and then everything single person who saw this happened or were able to see what happened with in the next 30 min are responsible for MURDERING this boy collectively. The boy should have gone through the right process and punished according to the law.

I feel very unsafe after watching this video. Very hard to believe, YOU CAN NOT SHOOT AN UNARMED PERSON specially when you have the situation under control with more than four armed Rangers standing in front of the man.

WHY SHOULD I PAY TAXES IN PAKISTAN

As far as I know Taxes are meant to provide services and facilities to the citizens of a country. Definitely I don’t see that happening.  I have been paying taxes on my income since 2005, now it is a good 6 years and almost a million rupees paid to the Government of Pakistan.  I am a salaried person who works for a technology company. I am happy with what I do, I am also happy with the tax I give but I am NOT happy with how my money is being spent.  I definitely don’t want to be responsible for paying for VIP movements luxury cars etc.

Today I promise that I would pay double the tax if I am given the option to chose how my money is spent.  If you ask me I would like all my money to be spent in nothing but education. I am sick of uneducated idiots running this country who don’t know a shit about how mass education is policy is implemented and they don’t even care to get proper consultants to do the job for them.

I buy fruit at least once a week and when I have to give him RS 200 for one apple, six bananas, and three peaches I think  hard as to how much money this man makes??? The answers is more than 5 lacks in a month and guess what he pays NO taxes. In my view he has no right to complain about anything. FBR has failed to collect taxes for these people and if this continues to happened the economic situation of Pakistan will continue to go down.  Whenever KESC has some problem, the fuel prices go up, or any other problem it is these people who hit the roads and salaried people like me are more worried that how will I go to work the next day because going to work is my bread and butter and that is how I feed my family.

For some reason my blood boils when I see this disparity, just because I work for a registered company it is easy for the government to collect taxes from me but what about those land lords, Gold traders, real estate trading, foreign exchange trading and a million other verticals.

I would leave you with some points to consider

1. Do you pay taxes? If not make sure you do because if you don’t you don’t have the right to complain.
2. Make sure you file your tax returns, get benefits from tax returns against, WHT on bank accounts, mobile bills, utility bills, etc
3. If you know someone who wants to know how to pay taxes or he/she is confused about the process just drop a comment here or simply visit www.fbr.gov.pk , I know a few people who might be able to help them
4. If you are buying goods try to buy from people who pay their taxes.
5. Never bribe people to get your matters sorted with FBR faster, everything is now online you can do it online www.fbr.gov.pk and their hot line is very helpful.
6. Keep your chin up if you pay your taxes and show ownership towords your country because it is yours.

Pakistan Independence Day Celebrations at Karachi Sea View

Green everywhere, Pakistani flag on each car, green painting on cheeks, crazy dances, madness with motor bikes, firing and fireworks, lights on Government buildings, dances, sea view, freedom, happiness, joy, and a lot more is experienced every 14^th August in Pakistan. I don’t know about other cities of Pakistan but in Karachi if you want to see how mad and crazy people get at these occasions you should hit a place which everyone know as Sea View. I actually went there this 14^th August to shoot a few clips which would make you people believe as to how crazy people can get.  If you ask any decent person he/she would say never go to sea view on 14^th of August, or EID, or any big holiday because people really go crazy. I actually wanted to have some fun so I went for it.

.

The kind of people you will find here are normally from SEC C or below. These people don’t normally have much options when it come to family entertainment. Sea view is the only place where no one is charges any money to come and have fun normally rent cars, wagons, or even trucks and just stuff people in it. The most common vehicle you will see at sea view is Motor Bike and that too if it is 14th August without cylencers to get noticed.

.

If you talk to any of these people you will immidiately feel that things happening arround them dont really affact them they will continue to do what they do and continue to thing what they think. I see a lot of potential in this man power in our country which can be used for something which benefits the country and themselves.

DHA Under water 2009 Monsoon Rains

It has not been much time since i have been in Karachi but it is a good 8 years now. I consider Hyderabad as the most neglected city in Sindh. But now when i look at areas like DHA in Karachi i think otherwise.

The negligence of deciding who is competent enough to take up development projects is enought to put your money and time down the drain.

What really has to be considered is that do they know that water can never flow from a lower plain to a higher plain until an external force is involved.

See this small diagram in which i have tried to explain where these people went wrong when building the drainage system.

I know that recent drainage project in DHA had a lot of money involved in fact millions were spent to be able to see the streets of DHA dry after rains. Unfortunately the people who took this project thought that water will automatically flow to where ever they want it to flow. If there was an engineer or some wise guy monitoring this then we would not have to see these days where by all the roads were loaded with water and all the hard earned taxes and money went straight down the drain.

I knew that people will ask for proof and that is what i arranged in form of videos shot specifically for this post.

This video is at popular avenue DHA phase 5 if i am not mistaken.

Here is another one showing that water needs to be pumped out so that it goes out of the main drain.

I have a few more snaps which ill add later.

Indian Media Against India T20 2009

I am 27 Years old and in this time I have never seen this kind of criticism from India against their own country. Pakistan won the T20 world Cup 2009 which is pride for Pakistani’s but if you watch the video I have attached you will know what exactly this means for the Indian’s and Indian cricket team. This is very hard to believe for me.
