Read all about The Green, the White & the Arrogation of Power at Pass the Roti on the Left Hand Side. It’s an old op-ed from the Dawn newspaper. Chilling really, how nothing has changed.
And while you read that, think of this photograph from the New York Times, captioned: “In a fitting measure of this year’s discord, India and Pakistan refused to celebrate on the same day: Pakistan on Monday, India today, above.”
Apparently doing research on the simplest of things, like when the two countries celebrate their independences, is no longer a journalistic ideal.
Pakistan: August 14
India: August 15
Stumble it!

Greetings,
So, are we more pissed that they don’t seem to understand us, or that they don’t seem to be trying?
oh my lord. the nytimes has hit a new low. (i’ve thought that before, and i am sure i will be thinking that again.)
i’m supposed to be here to check out your poems (on koonj’s cue), so i should go off and find them now…
Uzair: I’m pissed that they don’t seem to be trying. But not even about understanding us so much. They don’t have to understand us, they just have to do an ounce more research.
Abd: Thank you for visiting! My poems are at kylapasha.com and feel free to run amok!
