It was a real testament to her courage that she even returned there in the first place. While not intensely focused on the day-to-day situation there, I felt really sure there would be consequences right before she returned, then after the first bombing where hundreds of people were killed. It was so impressive that she remained in Pakistan. I cannot imagine how it must be there, right now, for everyone, but it grieves me to see this. It tears away a lot of hope. I am tired of this happening and it makes me sad.
My guess would be that even if it is not backed by the president, he is not reigning in the extremists, but rather letting these attacks spin out.
That’s about all I have for now.

I have never ever written any article or letter of such time in whole of my life. But today I am very sad. Let me express my feelings.
I want to express my concern regarding diversion of Foreign Investment from Pakistan to other countries like India, Srilanka and Bangladesh in context of current unstable condition of Pakistan.
I am working as a software developer in a well know company here in Australia. Our management had thoughts to establish an offshore office out of Australia. For last one month, I was working on to convince my higher management to go to Pakistan. The main concern of our management was the unstable political situation and frequent suicide bombings around the country. Alhamdulillah I was quite successful in making their mind to start from Lahore, As Lahore was pretty stable. Today was our final meeting in this regard. All the estimations, paper work and plans were ready.
But Yesterdays bomb blast in Lahore not only killed many valuable and innocent lives but also has stopped unknown No. of possible jobs, and foreign exchange from coming into PK. The management has now scratched off the word PAKISTAN from the list of possible offshore locations. They are now going to India. Don’t know how many other companies and firms around the globe did the same???????????????
It is very painful for me. May be I will forget it in couple of weeks. But consider those of our country fellows who would have got the jobs out of this Investment. who would have been able to support their families in a descent way, especially the youth, the graduates. Many of whom will now possible go into the wrong hands only because we have vanished their opportunities to survive. We haven’t given them chance to grow.
Not only myself but all the people specially the youth who is struggling to play their role towards Pakistan are worried. There are countless words to write but the bottom line is that what will be the time when we will be free of all of this fuss and will have a status of descent nation in the world.
plz excuse my way of writing….
