I think it is all too easy to log on to GS and talk about corruption and politics and hunger and homelessness and suicides. We are too insensitive to what goes on in our homeland. Safely tucked away in our comfortable rooms, we sip coffee and blame everyone under the sun but ourselves for all that’s wrong in Pakistan.

I wish the people displaces and devastated by the floods had access to the internet and other media and could tell us how they feel. I wish this guy had a blog that would surely wake us up from our slumber. How desperate one has to be to do burn oneself like that? How devastated a mother be when she took her children and plunged in front of a train? Her tweets would have made us cry, if she could use those 140 characters. How ‘human’ did the parents feel when they put their children up for sale? What would they have written in the classifieds?

Then there are people out there, on the ground, making sure we do not stoop to the level where God promised He would remove such people from the human race and have some other people replace them. We need to find them, and celebrate them.

There are many ways to help in trying to eliminate social evils from the society, I choose to bring these sad stories to lime-light.
