The Shriek Chairman has also touched the hearts of millions of people and thousands of lawyers, who have also been slaughtered to strengthen democracy and to deter evil spirits.  More...

I did go back on my promise to write to you regularly. If memory serves right it was to be a weekly affair but like any good Pakistani Muslim it never happened, for which I am guilty as charged. More...

It has been a year since, but that alarm bell still echoes in my mind and shivers my soul.  It was time for him to wake up and go to office. But it was not an ordinary day. Instead of being on his bed, he was lying breathless at the PIMS emergency ward.  More...
