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!

New Year's Gift - 2022

  Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science What would be a better gift than changing personal thoughts from being negative to a positive person? It is okay to be cynical, it allows us to vent out our anger, but that’s not the permanent solution to a Human’s mental frame. We need to have a peaceful mind to make better judgments about our own life for the long run. That’s why it is important to have some positive life aspects. Without positivity, it would not be an easier job to find the truth and make the right decisions. The reality of life is deeply connected with the nature of reality, and without any pursuit of truth, we cannot find reality in life. This year, let’s begin by making this resolution that, no matter what, I will always find something positive about everything. It will help get rid of the trash (useless thoughts) inside of our minds and make us a better version of ourselves.

Steal like an artist by Austin Kleon

  Book Cover (Source: Tapan Desai) Summary (informal) Everyone wants to become something in his life.  There’s no single formula to achieve one’s desired destination.  In this rapidly changing information climate, everything has become more competitive and less rewarding for those who do not pay more attention to details.  It is healthy to settle one’s mind to steal ideas productively from those who have experimented with them successfully.  There’s no harm in stealing ideas as there’s nothing as new to the world today given the scale of information exchange around the globe due to the Internet.  Since everything is already available on Google, one must go there and copy from authentic sources.  Make changes in it and sell it to the world. While you are working on the project, keep an eye on wrongs that might discredit the efforts.  Copying from a single person is plagiarism, but doing the same thing from more than one is research.  A good ar...

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...
