Adding Fuel to Fire

The Shareef-Zardari government (hmm… that came out interesting, unintentionally) has dropped it’s first bombshell. They have conveniently asked us to “get ready for higher fuel prices”. Quickly afterwards, they raised the price to Rs. 65.81 per litre of petrol. It is expected to touch 80’s by June.

That’s strike I, for the new government.

For us outcast Pakistani citizens, it is strike LVXCII. But who the hell is counting anyway, right?

Some people wrote about it (here, here, and here). Some people cried (you have to wait in a line at a bus stop to see that). Most of the people, however, just discovered yet another point to discuss during lunch hour and waste the time. That is what we are good at, complaining and doing nothing.
