name: pakvitrasthan

age: 75

number of pakvitrasthanis: 232,000,000

greenbacks: 3.1 billion or 3,100,000,000

each person’s worth: $13.36

corrupt leaders are always out with begging bowls

sometime they go to the giant panda

other times to custodian of two holy places

also to the one with the tallest structure

not to forget the international mother f——

the dollars thus received disappears in rulers’ foreign accounts

the cycle keeps on going & going & going without an end

again pakvitrasthan is going through another crisis

like the angels of death, the international mother f—— have arrived

thier demands are many and are very inhumane

the price will be paid by the helpless screwed up pakvitrasthanis

every emergency raises perennial question:

will the country survive, will the country not survive

every utterance “s/he loves me, s/he loves me not” loses a petal in the game

in the similar fashion, in every crisis, pakvitrasthan loses someting

sometime half of pakvitrasthan

sometime religious harmony

sometime peace with neighbors

the missing things rarely reappear — mostly it’s lost forever

unless its electricity which do reappear as it happened recently

a few weeks back, about half of pakvitrasthan was in dark

a few months back, 1/3rd of pakvitrasthan was submerged in water

no one know what the present trouble will entail
