i do. i really, really do. this is the longest i've ever been in karachi. and i still have 2 months to go before i go 'home' to dubai. i've been living here for longer than a month, and why this country has hardly made progress is evident ALREADY. why can't the people who live here see it? or have they been living here for too long, and they're just 'immune' to the issues? i doubt that, because everyone still complains about everybody ELSE anyway, so they probably ARE aware.
-people pay the teachers at school so their kids who just failed can get promoted to the next grade.
-people cut off their arms/legs to look needy and beg for money. why cant they work , instead?
-the gardener, the cook, the watchman, the POLICEMAN, inform the robbers about the best times to 'attack' a particular home. why can't they opt for a better method for redistribution of wealth?
-zardari.
I stop short, because theres really no point. everybody knows what their issues are. we should just try to be better people. try for longer than a week, i mean.
Back to apple martini. I miss a cold, strong, drink, with a nice, long drag of my menthol slims. I miss driving while listening to loud music. I miss old friends, who i KNOW are never going to come back. the worst bit is, i dont know where 'home' is anymore, because i dont know where the heart is anymore. I'll know how much i REALLY missed apple martini after i've had a sip, i guess.
