Animal Farm... again

Some of us took pride in the fact that one of our school mates (in perhaps the widest possible stretch) of the word had actually got us rid of the corrupt and useless government of Nawaz Sharif. Pervez Musharraf - a man we stupid dreamers saw as the solution to all our governance issues. Someone who was one of us and who actually stopped at the traffic signals like any of us.

Some seven years down the lane the 'only truth' of Pakistani politics remains. He now goes around with more protection than Fort Knox and is a nuisance to the whole of Karachi.

So much for the child who once would have collect his ice-cream on the St. Patrick's Feast day!

He's now as equal as those pigs George Orwell saw in the communists.
