I am not really sure if I can be blindly patriotic. My love for Pakistan is not unconditional. I have always believed that Pakistan came into being for one purpose, narrated by “Pakistan ka Matlab kya?, La illaha Il Lal Lallah” And I love Pakistan only because of its ideological foundations.

Here we are, ready for another wave of bloodshed. There was always the pressure, now there’s a provocation. What actually matters to us? Blood? Lives? Huh. That’s cute.
