We still start our days with the hope of a peaceful day but .... everyday events of the past months have been nerve reckoning for us. I am hoping against hope for this madness to end.

Loadshedding in Pakistan has made the lives of citizens miserable and the hike in electricity charges will be the last blow for the honest middle class of Pakistan which is already disappearing.
