14th of August is the day Pakistan "happened".
We're 67 years old and still learning how to walk and stand tall.
We're 67 years old... wow... that's old in human years, and (well, pretty much) dead in dog years... but in "country" years it smells like teen spirit. Two parties own Pakistan now - the Mullahs and the Youth. And the politicians know this. This is why they can't seem to figure out their political strategies - one end they need to cater to conventionalism, fundamentalism, and on the other end to the Youth... an ever-changing, hormones-raging, trigger-happy lot. I'm personally rooting for the Youth.
If anything can bring revolution - it is this hot blooded generation alone. If anyone can be a symbol of true Democracy - it is the Pakistani Youth.
Unfortunately, I doubt they know how much power they have...
I've been to nine different countries, I've lived in four; but nothing feels as much as home as Pakistan does. Like any 60-something country, it has its growing pains, the political drama, the rebellion, explosions, and killings, and well a whole plethora of problems... one for every single citizen... approximately 182,589,000 people. Among other positive things for a country to promote, family planning has not been promoted enough.
But all this aside, I do love Pakistan.
Yes, I do, and I will continue to complain about the electricity outages, and the broken roads, and the garbage everywhere.
But I will still love what is there to love, and I will still #CelebratePakistan with everything I've got... Freedom is Life.
