This is my personal page. This belongs to me, and my friends, without any bearing on my job or position, their job or position, and ofcourse no connection with any government, especially the government of Pakistan. Well, born in CMH Rawalpindi, Saint Mary's Academy Lalazar, Cadet College Hasan Abdal, Army Medical College, King Edward Medical College, Punjab University, George Washington University. Was a Fulbright Scholar at GWU from 2006-2009. Greatest academic regret is that i could not pursue English Literature as a passion in life. Three passions in life, teaching, serving others and the electronic media. Doing none of those nowadays. Serve in the Foreign Service of Pakistan, but this page is distinct from my office. This relates to my own passions, ideas, about Imran the person. Please comment and reflect on this page if you want to be a friend in personal capacity. Sincerely believe that though slowly, the only two glittering gems in Pakistan, its independent media and the judiciary, can bring change. What is change? It is accountability, better governance and a medium for the oppressed Pakistanis, who used to be unheard. I also believe that Pakistan is a resource rich great state, which only has to find a right structural political system to attain great heights. Inshallah we will get there soon. In a personal capacity, i love two parties in Pakistan which i feel have similar goals, betterment of Pakistan. They are both PML N and PTI. I cannot help it. I love both. They have similar agendas, similar ideologies and great patriotic teams. I love Imran and I love NS. I love Asad Umar and I adore Senator Ishaq Dar, I love Jehangir Tareen Sb and I love Ahsan Iqbal, as great legislators comparable to anywhere in the world. Kindly respect my joint love for the two parties, if you respect me. Dont expect me to love or like one. I also very strongly feel about human rights issues. I love the Chief Justice of Pakistan and his movement for a free and independent judiciary. That movement in 2007 was a leapfrogging movement in the history of Pakistan.We were lucky. Now Pakistan's journey towards a democratic polity is less likely to be interrupted and a pro active judiciary is the best guarantee for rights of the common unheard citizen. I am also a great fan of the independent media of Pakistan. I respect it despite its shortcomings. I refuse to buy the statement that they are compromised by money or glamour. People have a short memory. They dont remember the sa
