FAQ - 1

FAQ's Frequently Asked Question: should be answered asap, but there are few of them which can neither be answered nor can be ignored.
I was also caught in the same dilemma of answering or not during my summer internship in Berlin, Germany, when infinite such questions have been shot at me by some of my German friends, by some unknown whom I met in train and at other places. These were those question which I tried to answer to my best capabilities but there were some which i was not able to. Here,are 10 politically and socially relevant FAQ, which I tried to answer to best of my knowledge and was very true to myself, else otherwise stated.

1) Do you like Pakistan?

I like Pakistan but not their leaders (I don't know how many time this question was asked to me and i always gave the above reply), I use to ask them counter question do you like Hitler.

2) Why you guys have so many bomb blast in your country?

How can you even expect me to know this.

3) Do you guys know from where the so called terrorist come to your country, if yes
then why don't your govt. stop them?
(whenever they asked me this question there was a wicked smile on there face)

I also feel petty for this, we know but we can't do anything.

4) What is your govt. doing for Kashmir?

They also gave me few suggestion regarding this matter, why don't u guys give up on Kashmir and make it a independent state or give it Pakistan, as Muslims are major in Kashmir......
Dude! we have more Muslims than Pakistan, so should we give whole India to them who even can't control a country which is smaller than the biggest state of India and stood on the verge of yet another divison.
