Dear Aging: well you are absolutely right about the loadshedding and might perhaps been frustated from the overall condition to let you put that remarks.

To all forum members, being an overseas Pakistani we deeply love Pakistan and feel saddened,emotional, frustated over news and events that are going on. But we also realized that while living in Pakistan we lacked basic nessacities like health/and peace which we never realized until going abroad where we learned basic rights.

I lived in Karachi all live before immigrated abroad, when my family member visited and there is strikes/firing/ and fire on buses they got scared and I use to laugh at them saying "dont be scared".......... i was FOOLED. Now when I visit for a week, i feel UNSAFE,insecure. I worried about my parents, my family, and my siblings, with each day passes I thank GOD for their safety. Is this what should be proud of and defend rather than admitting what as a nation we are lacking.

Mr Aging comments has aggravated many members and some become emotional and commented about mummy/daddy....... he though was wrong about electricity/water problem but over all there are many problems AND his just is way of taking out frustation but I can bet deep inside he loves his country as I do and as we all do.

We will never succeed if kept on fighting and defending whats wrong.... We should openly listen all comments/thread as its a forum.

Warm regards
One of Overseas Pakistani

I like your feeling and looked to me that you are an educated and gentleman. That is the spirit we Pakistanis need to build. Bravo.

Zahir hai, bura bhala kahain gay... coz Pakistan can be better then what it is right now...

Pakistan is our real home.Hamarey Jaan Bhi Uss Per Qurbaan.We are working abroad for economic reasons only.However,when we point out something it's sheer out of our love and affection for our Country.Why we are here on siasat ? There are hundreds of other chat sites ?So when somebody suggests something for the improvement of the Country it should be taken in good stride.We are all one family and treat each other with love,affection and respect.

@ elipst - Kaun say karachi main rehtay hain bhai ? Either u agree that there is loadshedding.. or u admit that ur one of the HIGLY looked after group member, jin kay ilaaqay main electricity kabhie nahin jatie.

I dont know what you are talking about. These are stories farigh people come up with. I live in Gulshan-e-Iqbal near Bait-ul-Mukarram. All parties exist here but it is traditionally a JI area. There is hardly any loadshedding in defence and that is PPP and JI area as well. On the other hand Liaquatabad has the highest loadshedding.

It has to do with line losses(kundas etc) KESC does more loadshedding in areas with more kundas and less in areas with less. Thats why we see more loadshedding in katchi abadis. No other reason.

Well Karachi is a lot safer than most of the places in Pakistan. Where in Pakistan dont you have loadshedding and robberies? People exaggerate. And best of luck to your brother.

That's a common problem in all third world countries.It would be sheer foolishness to compare it with Toronto or Melbourne !! You should not be insensitive to people who live there and endure those hardships every day.

Dear Aping, you are lucky enough, you came back in one peace and had suffered only minor regular issues, One of my colleague, who went karachi after 8 years on 2 months leave, came back in just a week time, he was so dejected, exhaust, after my insist of asking repeatedly same question, why he came back so early, he told me, he was looted on gun point and was about to killed. You can imagine, overseas Pakistanis suffering.

C'mon Abbasi Bhai.. its not just over seas Pakistanis suffering..

Everybody is suffering...

Does that only happen in Karachi??

Why single out Karachi when the whole country is facing similar scenario???
