Again..It happened again.
once more the city was gripped by fear last night.
9 armed men first threw a hand grenade at a G-7 bus which set it on fire and then showered it with bullets.
It was all in FRONT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF KARACHi.
just a day after a clash between 2 students parties
and a couple of weeks after the death of student members of a student party by their rivals
and they say it wasnt 'targeted'
DUh!
the four years i have spent on campus have been full of fear and uncertainty... one day everything is all hunky dory, and the next thing you know is that students somewhere are hurling stones at each other and end up injured... or sometimes even lose their lives! All at a place where we are supposed to prepare ourselves to face the world... and to look in the eyes of life!
But then... this is what life outside the campus is all about.... fight to save yourself...fight to make yourself heard...fight! and bas... yehi hai.
A regular day at the KU campus is just like that of the city.... frantic.lazy...
you'll see people rushing to classes...or rushing away from them...you'll see people lazing near the canteens... people lounging in the lobby... people having fun... or them bitching about the endless miseries one has to go thru if one chose KU as their home for four years...
Isn't that what we all do? at all times.
complain.
bitch about things
bitch about people
bitch about circumstances
bitch about the ugliness of life
...all while sipping on iced tea...
and then we get up
and go back to the warmth of our cozy homes
and then bitch more
about maids
about service men who never turn up
about kids
about spouses
about noisy neighbors
about litter in the street
...and then we sleep
