The beautiful Flower do I have to mention beautiful

31 12 2007

A great macro shot capturing a real beauty. Somehow made me remember this poem by John Keats as he himself says “A thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever; its loveliness increases; it will never pass into nothingness”. So here goes the poem!

Ode to a Nightingale

“I cannot see what flowers are at my feet,
Nor what soft incense hangs upon the boughs,
But, in embalmèd darkness, guess each sweet
Wherewith the seasonable month endows
The grass, the thicket, and the fruit-tree wild;
White hawthorn, and the pastoral eglantine;
Fast-fading violets cover’d up in leaves;
And mid-May’s eldest child,
The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine,
The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves”

Pakistan’s BENAZIR BHUTTO Dead; Assassinated by a suicide killer

27 12 2007

Yeah its the worst news of today. Pakistan’s People Party leader Benazir Bhutto was killed by an assassin. I was coming back home after the marriage ceremony of my cousin Armaghan Bhai (I call him Agha Gul) ended. As we reached back at our place, we just started receiving calls about the sad incident on our cell phones. Seemed like mobile carriers are getting jammed as everybody wanted to talk about the incident to their friends and relatives. To me it was a really sad incident and my thought of being unsafe while living in Pakistan becomes more and more strong!. Nobody is safe here, even the powerful people like Benazir Bhutto. The only think I suggest to my readers is, “Pakistan se Zinda Bhaag!” (Just try to fly away from Pakistan if you wanna live!)

Benazir Bhutto Assassinated by a suicide killer

Some top headlines are:

· Musharraf announces three days’ mourning

My comments:

Is it of any use. Government would have done proper security checks as they knew she was the target of the killers. Shame on pakistan government as always!

· Sharif party to boycott Pakistan elections

My comments:

Its also of no use. Everybosy in Pakistan is trying to f***k politics and democracy and these so-called B Grade politicians that rule now a day!. I hope my readers are smart enough to guess what I am talking about!

· Violent protests break out across country

My comments:

Pakistan kee pagal awam. (Crazy and less sensible people of Pakistan!)

OK here is my internet research about the incident!

This collage is from my November 2007 Photography. I was getting bored home when I decided to go out to the meadow that is hardly 2/3 mins walk from my place as I live by countryside! The one showing the tree in evening is of the same place along the dong!
