US-Pakistan Relationship in the wake of Afghan situation

Pak-US Relations (A brief insight)

Pakistan and the US are currently in warm waters. This has happened as a result of the apocalyptic Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. On the United States side, it has always opted for aggressive policy decisions when it comes to dealing with developing South Asian countries and Pakistan is no exception to this case.

The fall of Kabul on 15 August enunciated the weak policymaking of US stakeholders. And unlike any other neighbor of Afghanistan, Pakistan shares strong socio-cultural values with the country. It is not an option for Pakistan to cut off itself from its western part. Consequently, Pakistan has always been supportive of Afghan stability because instability there would directly disrupt the peace and stability in its own borders.

Given the emerging circumstances in the region, the United States as usual discredited Pakistan for its positive role in Afghan stability and maneuvered the situation by mischaracterizing Pakistan state authority to justify their failure in the war against terrorism. Due to Pakistan's weak leverage to international politics, the US has been playing well to scapegoat Pakistan, a country, which has always been a loyal ally to the US in their abroad missions. 

However, despite some skirmishes between the two States, it seems obvious that no one wishes to deteriorate the relationship for a larger good. Pakistan like any responsible country is trying to clarify all the misconceptions being created against its image at the national, regional, and international levels. Similarly, the United States is also recognizing the strategic importance of Pakistan and a player who can smoothly tackle the haphazard situation in Afghanistan. 

Thank you for your company!

7 lessons I learned from the Al Chemist

Lesson #1:- Humans are tested with calamities and challenges to build a stronger intellectual ground where they can protect their lives and become able to create a better world for future generations.  Those who risked their lives and followed their dreams, they have got the victory. And those who did not risk, and played it safe,  merely stopped where they needed to start. Lesson #2:- Santiago in the search of his legend (true inner self) encountered challenges and a few close calls to death. In the search for treasure, he fearlessly bids on his life by selling his sheep to an old King joins a crystal shop in an unknown part of Africa, and finally embarks on the longest journey towards the Pyramids of Egypt.  His passion to find the unknown treasure based on his audacious belief in omens led him to overpower all the negative forces that could have stopped him from achieving his legend. Quote “If you believe in yourself worthy of the thing you fought so hard to get, t...

This is why evidence in conversation matters?

  Here are a few big question marks? Why should one believe in storytelling when there’s little space for the question? Is it reliable what you're listening to? What is the truth? What makes a person qualified for any opinion? “The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.” – Carl Sagan The human thinking pattern relies on storytelling. As Yuval Noah Harari in his book “Sapiens” calls humans the social beings with close proximity to story beings. Humans communicate with each other through storytelling. It is an easier and more fun method to continue the conversation for a longer time. Sometimes, stories get to a certain level where the fine line between truth and false gets thinner. It becomes a hell sort of challenge to distinguish the words as true or false especially when it’s coming out of a person close to one in relations. Most of us grew up in an environment where many people could express their thoughts without any fear of being questioned. Age was considered ...

What is a Wasteman Loop & How to avoid it?

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science What is a wasteman Loop? For the past few days, I have been doing a lot of social media surfacing without realizing the effects of it on my productive life. I was so indulged in social media scrolling, liking, and sharing weird cat posts that I never realized I was wasting more than 4 hours per day of my precious life. Being into some business where there is no return value or profit is what I call a wasteman loop. Every once in a while I return to this wasteman life and I have to push myself again to keep focused on the main objectives in life. This on and off productivity is what I call the loop. I’m constantly worried about two things to happen in my life, first, when I start wasting my time on social media or any other stuff that adds zero value to my life, second, the continuous fight with consistency to not return to wasteman life and still end up becoming the wasteman I loathe. How does it affect your productivity? Being a wasteman has...
