Pakistan, The motherland. Live eternally!

No matter, how hard you try to alter your identity; you just can't. That's just one of the very few impossible things in this world. So why hide it instead of embracing it? Get real folks. With eyes wide open.. feel the warmth, the spice, the colors and the love in this culture and come with ideas to improvise it.
We might not have Sky scrapers like the rest of the world, but what we do have is perhaps very rare. Have you ever felt that sensation within? Like this feeling of Faith.. where you see people praying reguraly, attending various mosques, not worrying a speck about their lives, thinking this might be their last time praying due to those frequent suicide bombings. Now do you experience that in the western world? I donot have prejudice aginst them, but honestly speaking, everybody kinda just passes their days alive, unconcerned about their ephemeral lives.
We might not have New York and Miami Fashion Weeks, Playboy or Cosmopolitan but we have, what is unknown to the world. Why not look at the purity, that lies within the mothers and the sisters of this nation? They may not know how to wear mini skirts or walk in high heels, however, they know the values to being a real woman; staying loyal and faithfull, showering their families with inestimable love and raising their children perfectly.
We might not have humongous high schools, facillitated with all the modern luxuries of this time but still, the west depends on us for supplying excellent doctors and engineers of all time. Why is this? well duh, when it comes to education, they are behind. Their students are no match for our brilliant heads. Thanks to our hard working teachers and the education system that competes with the most high-ranked education boards of this world, yet they say we are far beind.
I don't see whats wrong with the person who bears a green passport. We have the world's 5th biggest army, we are one of the strongest amongst many countries of the world, our food follows the basics of healthy nutritional fads unlike the U.S where one amongst five people is obiesed, one envisions those exotic blends of colors and sophisticated patterns on clothes, when one heads out to those busy markets, the west envies those camels which run around the coast of Clifton Beach in Karachi and what not?
We do have few flaws, but so do the rest of 192 countries of the world. You don't suicide when you face those hard times in life, but instead you go seek for solutions. Similarly, our motherland begs us to bring revolution, so instead of just migrating abroad and abandoning our country, we should bring a change :)
Oh look its almost her birthday! Well, we all should do something to make Pakistan happy, because she is our mother country and we see her in tears, in the form of those awe-inspiring floods that are terorrizing our fellow people. Lets be un-selfish for once in our lives and give this beautiful country something special for her 63rd birthday, whatever you can, but do your best.
Dear homeland, I am proud to be yours and I know there are lot of countries who plainly envy your culture and then look down upon you, 'your citizens', just to make you look bad, but don't worry! I think your youth will revolutionize you! Then you will brag upon your name and we will show off our Green Passports and tell the world 'Thats how we rule ;)'
Pakistan Zindabad!
