Happiness in Af-Pak by Lt Gen P R shankar (R)
Confession This is a fully pliagiarised narrative of Pakistan lifted from what Pakistani writers have written. My own contribution is zilch. I hope you all find it wacky enough. Only wackiness can describe the Af-Pak events well. If your intelligence is affronted after reading this , I have achieved my aim. The Pakistani gunslinger and the Gringo were…

Discussion on US Pakistan Relationship
Aadi and I had a good discussion on the future of the US-Pakistan relationship. We realised that the relationship is historical and multifaceted. It has gone through many ups and downs.

The Sum of Pakistani Wishes by Lt Gen P R Shankar (R)
