We all hear and read about how people criticize and insult Pakistan, and unfortunately there are times when we cannot blame most of the reasons due to the increasing violence.

Despite all the mishaps, destruction and loss, we’ve shown alot of progress. We still have time to improve more since hoaxes such as Y2K and 21st December 2012 actually did turn out to be a false alarm. One of the most amazing facts which people are seeing is that a majority is protesting the violence. We want to change. And since we’re still living let’s bring out the best of us and our country.
