2010 of Pakistan Cricket Team

2010: What a year that was… Pakistan cricket touched its heights… or may be depths… worst year so far in Pakistan cricket history since 1992 world Cup… We witnessed very poor performance in

all types of games and the cherry of the Cake…. The spot fixing controversy…. Hats off to Mohammad Asif… This was the hat trick after positive dope test and probable drug carrying at Dubai airport…. and if this all was not enough, we had Zulqarnain Haider another Pakistani ruining our image to get political asylum in England… I mean National pride is the last thing they are worried about… and we, the so called in tolerate nation tolerated this all with a smile… Mohammad Asif, Aamir and Salman Butt are still enjoying some support. And If you have forgot this all, Pakistan Cricket was surrounded by some political moves in the dressing room. Shoaib Malik in or out? Younus replaces Yousuf.. Shoaib Akhter to be allowed to bowl in T20s only, Imran Farhat’s mysterious selection, inclusion of another Akmal brother.. I mean what are we targeting??? Is this how we aim to bring home the World Cup. This all could have been put aside if we could

have performed well in the field but our infield performance has been even worse. We played 10 test matches and won only 2 while losing 6 of them, which makes the win loss ratio = 33%. When some of us say that Test is not our format, we are more of a One day and T20 team, let’s see how we performed in the shorter versions of the game. We played 18 ODI and won only 5 losing 13… yes 13... which makes the win loss ratio (28%) even worse than what we had in Test. And finally the T20 internationals, we played total 18 matches and won only 6 of them losing double of the wins i.e. 12 making the win-loss ratio of 33%. So considering the phenomenal record we had in 2010 one can easily determines the pattern we are following… We might be the worst prepared cricket team for upcoming World Cup 2011. But still our nation is waiting for a miracle that is because miracles have happened in the past but those miracles were from the players who played for the nation. Their only goal was the pride of Nation and not the wealth… The team selected for world cup speaks for itself.

How to support a corrupt government: For beginners

Well people, here we will discuss easy steps to learn how to support a corrupt government. This tutorial is for beginners as some youngsters are finding it difficult to support the current corrupt government in Pakistan. In order to support a corrupt government you must have…

a)         A corrupt government 

            (you can find it easily in any third world country)

b)        Illiterate population
            (in Pakistan’s case, you can consider the literate ones also) 

c)        Patience (or ignorance)

Once you have all three elements above you are ready to support a corrupt government. Please follow these simple steps below.

Step 1: No matter how corrupt your political party is, always support the party representing your cast, religion or ethnicity. Never listen to this patriotism bullshit.

Step 2: Defend your political party for all the wrong deeds, if any journalist/ media person criticizes your corrupt leader, make it a national issue, burn buses and flags, block roads, stage rallies. Hence harm the public property and mean no harm to the leader or the journalist.

Step 3: Have your own definition of Corruption, never accept that bribing a Policeman, taking prints from an office printer or using office phone for personal calls, are types of corruption. Avail corruption opportunities wherever available and blame government for endorsing corruption on a higher level (Since you cant avail it)

Step 4: When electricity or petrol prices go high or a new tax is implemented, and you feel tensed while watching news anchors condemning the government move, switch to any Indian channel, watch Star Parivar Awards or any senseless comedy movie like Dabangg and laugh out louder to relax.

Step 5: When you are agitated by the additional taxes and hence overall inflation never think of a demonstration or to condemn the government move at any level, just think “I am not the only one paying these taxes. Why doesn’t anyone else oppose this?? I am just a common man, what can I do?? etc.”

We believe following these steps will make it easier for you to support the current or any corrupt government. Please contact us at pakmetroblog@gmail.com for any complains and do let us know if you have other ways of supporting the corrupt government. We will keep posting more “HOW TOs” like this.

The Culprit Nation

The other day I visited my aunt and what I saw there was (may be) something of routine but I just......just felt ashamed of being what I am....I AM PAKISTANI...

I remember I read in my class 6th that Natural Gas reservoir at SUI are enough to fulfill our requirement for next 50 years....... Those 50 years turned out not even more than a decade..... The so called GREAT GAS RESERVOIR country is facing acute shortage of it.. That day my aunt's neighbor came to ask her for "wood" so that she could cook something.. now people do not ask for sugar or cup of milk from neighbors.... because we have progress so much that even in the capital of our country, people are cooking food on stoves with wood.....I have found that my village is even better than capital because there is no load shedding of gas (since there is no gas) and wood is easily accessible........"Shahpur Ubbah" turned out to be more prosperous than "Islamabad".......

The embarrassment did not finish there it even did not last when I paid 80 rupees/liter for petrol as a gift of new year, which was a testimony to the fact that we shall PROGRESS more in this year as well, and even not when I searched "pics of poor Pakistan" on Google......and there were thousands of them....

Where does the fault lie???????????

Is it Us or we should blame the government???? or both?????

I think BOTH.......rather its us.....we want democracy...bcoz we deserve them

Are we real a democratic country ????or its monarchy of so called THE PAKISTAN PEOPLE'S PARTY......

When a father dies his daughter takes over.....she is replaced by her husband and her son is next for this throne...........our fate is in their hand

The 18 year boy who does not know how to write Pakistan in its national language will decide faith of this country and its masses..........
he is our leader.... our fate lies in hands of most scandalous boy of Oxford University
we all know it but still he is our leader...

we are at fault.....not the government..... WE ARE THE CULPRIT...
