Confessions Again

Confessions of a Racist
  • I try to flee from places where I see black guys. They make me uncomfortable and I see myself being mugged, stabbed, kidnapped, raped, murdered, everything until I lose the sight of them.
  • Arabs, according to me, view religion as they please, they also have this arrogant belief that Islam is only their religion, they're the only true muslims and everybody else can be bullied.
  • I have nothing against the Chinese or far east nations, they're hardworking and friendly.
  • While growing up, watching all those cheesy indian movies with zillions of dances on the roadsides with people wearing uniform clothes from the hero-heroine to the extras, I used to believe everybody in India: (a) Wore uniform clothes. (b) Danced on roads/seasides/mountains/everywhere with whole lot of extras with them.
  • I don't know if its racism or what, but I believed everybody who left Pakistan and settled in the US or Britain, was either driving a taxi or woking at a fastfood.
  • 'Angrez begairat hotai hein' 
  • Australians are only good at two things, (a) Every sports they play, (b) Being a better racist than me.
Confessions of a Muslim
  • Just like about every other muslim on the planet right now, I think, I can pray five times a day, fast in Ramadan, contribute to charity, perform Hajj and along with these I can go on bitching about people, I can lie and abuse and misuse power and I can play my part in corruption.
  • God will forgive my sins because I'm a muslim, and He loves His beloved Prophet Mohammad's Ummah.
  • I don't need to do anything about the current sufferings of muslims because it's God's will and I can't change what God has written as a fate for us.
Confessions of a Confused Pakistani
  • I am aware that my vote matters, but I don't want to vote for any of the current active politicians. No, not even Imran Khan.
  • Its not a very proud moment but being a Punjabi Pakistani, I could never master even one language, I can speak punjabi very well, can't read or write it. I can read, speak and write urdu but not like I would have wanted with Urdu being our national language. I can speak, read and write english but expressing myself solely in english can be a hassle at times. Because when I'm angry, punjabi's the only language I can think in.
  • I would rather have Afghan, Persian and Chinese as friend nations as compared to United States. I don't believe in long distance friendships.
  • Everybody who doesn't live in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar, Faisalabad is an illiterate farmer who has never heard of family planning.
  • I hate how arrogant the people of Karachi are. Pakistan goes far beyond Karachi and Sindh.
  • I have no hope for any better changes in Pakistan with this new generation taking over, because I know better.
Confessions of a 26 years old 
  • Freedom to life still seems like a fancy book term to me.
  • Having lived half my expected life span single, I see no way of ever surrendering to an argument with my future husband.
  • Really need a digital camera with wifi and apps so I can take picture from my hi-res camera and upload them on instagram directly.
  • Typos are not an embarrassment any longer. They're a source of laughter for me and everybody I know.
  • A month back I didn't want to lose weight, now I want to. Anything for shotai.
I've probably missed a lot of things I could have included but this shall do for now.
