Economist : Special Report on Pakistan

The economist published a 10-page special report on Pakistan recently.

I've held the economist in a league of less biased publications, but was rather depressed to see the picture painted by the authors.

Its mostly true from their perspective, but Jawwad Farid has a nice commentary here thats looks at things from a Pakistani's point of view.

In other news, I'm still getting married and will be in Karachi soon Insh'Allah.

So here's what happened

So, Getting married in three weeks.

Life's pretty good. Its not often that you meet the girl of your dreams, and she likes you.

So you go out with her for a bit, and then decide to move (by yourself) to Canada.

You then think you dont want to deal with the long-distance sh*t, and tell her you want to go find yourself. Surpisingly, she agrees.

Two years later, you go back to Karachi. You've been in love with her since day one, but practicality got the better of you.

You ask her to marry you,and she agrees. She's as relaxed as she was when you had told her you needed to "find yourself"

Now the tough part,basically you ask your parents and her parents, and they love the idea.

Preparations are currently underway for the mother of all weddings, and I cant believe how fortunate I am.

Thank God for everything.
