What's up with Hatim?

It was elections day in Abbottabad on 18th Feb 2008 and I had the chance to vote for first time in my life. Elections always have negativity surrounded around them, people think that it has already been decided that who shall win and who will loose. Most people believe that it's no use to go out and vote as even if thier opnions were taken into account, they would no doubt choose some one who eventually turns up to be a corrupt person and does nothing for the nation, A few days back I was having a discussion amongst my colleuges that we are not a nation and we still need nation building. Even though there was a 40% turnout in the present polls I still believe that we are not a nation, yet. With democretic forces hopefully coming into power in Islamabad, there is a chance that there will be some nation building. As for me I am happy that I exercised my opnion, but I am skeptical as to how the new government will handle the current situation of Pakistan.

I was suppose to leave for home on Saturday afternoon and I knew that it would be a mess. Every time its election season in Pakistan there is always a shortage of transport. I went to Daweoo bus station hoping to get a seat on chance. I was not surprised to see the station full of passengers. I knew that I wont be able to get any thing by midnight. So I decided to sit out for Saturday. I went back to my house and stayed there for the night. I spent the night browsing and watching TV. I am thinking of proposing an advanced ticketing system to Sammi Daweeo, this is just a though experiment for now but it may turn into a reality. I was thinking of ticketing which involves electronic displays and National ID card numbers (or perhaps cell phone number based). I got the last bus going out next day. Needless to say that its preety hectic to travel on Bu sin Pakistan, even if its Daweoo.
