* " I didn't choose this life, it chose me." Benazir Bhutto ( June 21, 1953 - Dec 27, 2007 )i had lunch with Daniel this afternoon at Kin Kin Pan Mee. Been awhile since we had the rendezvous here. Before heading for a movie.. I overheard the news on the radio that goes " assasination of Benazir Bhutto..."..hmmm, did i hear the word attempt? Well, perhaps they were referring to the past history of so many such attempt on her.
Well, not until I decided to get a hair cut after National Treasure 2 , I grabbed a copy of Star..
Benazir killed
I couldn't believe my eyes.
Pakistan, a country that embrace Islam and practice its heritable culture has a deep root grind in them of how life got to be ...be it from the teaching or the religion. Yet, subliminally pathetic and ironic it still seek its own identity as a country. Who we are as a nation? In such fallacy, the politicians has the best bet to maneuver its cause via glorifying and ensuring who we as a Pakistan is.. The people knows and yet the submission is better than nothing at all. Identity is a refuge for the souls even a temporal one...a way to escape uncertainty though u could believe it is taunt and taint with illusion. In reality, it is an illusion.
Well, I want to talk about Benazir. In her heyday, I was still pursuing my education. Did i? :p
Yet, this women has a powerful impact in this region whether you like it or not and in fact a momentum to swiftly change perception about women.. forget margaret thatcher.. iron fist ruling lady a.k.a Queen Victoria a.k.a Empress Dowager didn't cut the deal. They are a unique hybrid of women evolution.
Benazir set the standard. Period.
You could disagree with her political agenda and blah blah corruption and throw her ideology to debate... yet she is worthy of your challenge. I love her charismatic speech yet she beauty as a lady does shine within. Now the world has lost a great leader and a nuclear powered country such as Pakistan has yet to mourn for a leader to address stability.
I remembered her appearing in tv most of the time in our local tv news. Could you resist her speech?
My heart and mind salute you and May your battles and fight will continue and not go in vain.
I recently read a comment that her mother Nusrat Bhutto must be one of the most tragic figures in Pakistan. First, her husband was killed. Then one son was poisoned, and another son assassinated, and now her daughter killed as well.
