MINGLED THOUGHTS ...

Salam and Best Wishes ...

Friends, many are the 'Pitches', varied are the 'Swings' and so is the 'Bounce'...Too much is 'Happening', so much is there to 'Talk About'...Puzzled Thoughts, Jumbled Impressions ... Only few in this post:-

• Mercedez is Mercedez. I have always been very certain that no car could match my 1970s, how would be the latest bullet proof PM carrier? Really difficult to Give Off ... period ... But I know a gentleman who not only willingly parted with the Mercedez but also a latest model BMW given to him as a personal gift ... Exceptions, however, have never been a rule.

• World Cup. Prayers and Others' do work but not always ... Overall  performance, however is not that bad; despite the initial hiccups, Team Pak has done well to be at par with the likes of Eng and NZ as far as the 'Won-Lost' column goes ... More-so keeping in view the facilities, structure, education, lack of exposure to international cricket at home and closure of doors on County and IPL etc. Indian Cricket is different, century old structure, abounding numbers, pennies and facilitates ... still Pak Teams over the years have been beating them but now the gap is too-big. CHANGE IN THINKING AND PRACTICES REQUIRED ...  

• Political Scene.  It is said, "All human wisdom is summed up in two words; Wait and Hope" ... But the way things are shaping, it looks that HOPE to reach the green pastures again is Waning    so 'All Concerned' can't WAIT ... Hence non-stop WAILING .... People trapped in the self-created nets, psyche-out and  generally home on a single point agenda ... SURVIVAL ... losing sight of the realities and exploration of ways 'TO LIVE ON FOR ANOTHER TOMORROW' ... They ultimately go for the most destructive path ... THE SAMSON OPTION ... Which ensures their DEMISE, along with collapse of the TEMPLE. 

• Denial. Always Dangerous and Detrimental ... Any level, State, Society or Individual. It is the preferred path marketed by the Devil and his Disciples... This path makes one Run, Run and Run ... Solutions are Forbidden. Keep denying problems, no inventive focussing, drop the shutter on the mind because if it is kept operational, it will generate ideas that can help one escape the circumstantial traps ... Denial constantly hammers the punchline SOLUTIONS ARE FORBIDDEN. Never look/ask/adopt an idea, from yourself or anywhere else ... Only a single good idea/action is needed to solve the problem, but in a state of DENIAL the SOLUTIONS ARE FORBIDDEN.  Bottom Line ... If Fears are not CONFRONTED, then CONSEQUENCES have to be ...

Food For Thought ... An old African Proverb:-

When the Roots of a Tree begin to Decay ... The Death spreads to the Branches ...
