National Express

My overall experience was good but I had a very strange and unpleasant experience, felt embarrassed as well.

I had an open ticket which means I can travel anytime with in three months.

When I showed my ticket to the driver, he was watching the ticket and watching my face.

He said you are not supposed to take this bus, I replied, what do you mean? I bought an open ticket that means I can travel anytime of my convenience, I have paid extra money for this option.

The driver said, he knows that but I have to inform the National Express that I want to travel on certain bus. I was very furious on this because every single person around was watching me. I was feeling like an idiot.

The National Express office is closed at 05:00 PM. Why and how I will inform National Express about my journey? Why I have bought open ticket?

If I want to travel at night so I have to wait till morning to inform the National Express about my journey?

According to his paper work the bus was full. So, that is not my problem. When the bus started there were empty seats, not only that; during announcement he mentioned that according to his paperwork there are only three seats empty but there were more than three.

During all my travel I was so terrified thinking that the bus driver will come to me anytime and will ask me to leave the bus.


There is one more thing I like to mention. There is a good that every seat has an electric socket but it doesn’t works. It would be very convenient if they work.

Elections

The people should stand up against stupid laws like Council Tax. How a common person can afford council tax, even people living in council houses are also paying council tax and now bedroom tax, from where lawmakers get these kinds of ideas. Let’s picture this, a common person living in his/her own home with a mortgage, basically he/she is living in a bank-own house but people believe that the house belongs to them. They don’t think what if they fail to pay a mortgage or they get sick who is going to pay all the bills, humans get sick or die but bills don’t. A person living with a mortgage, which he/she has to pay in around 25 years, for which he/she has to pay an amount every month otherwise he/she will lose his/her house and he/she will be on the streets with his/her whole family. Plus a person have to pay energy bills which are increasing day by day, water and sewage bill, Internet bill and top of all this a council tax, which is averagely around hundred pounds every month...

Telecommunication Services in Pakistan

I came across a very strange piece of information regarding mobile services in Pakistan. I came to know that if you are a pay as you go customer of any mobile network and for example you top-up for Rs 100, you are going to receive Rs 65; Rs 35 goes in taxes. That is very strange and not only that, people are so dumb they are following this rule from a very long time. Companies around the world pay taxes from their profits, I think Pakistan will be the only country where customers are paying the taxes for the company. I really don’t know how to react on this issue. Should I laugh, should I show my anger or just pity on the people of this country, on how dumb they are. One thing is for sure, if you are a businessman. Pakistan is the country to be in, where the people will pay income tax for your company.

Dear Muhajir Nation I

Some Muhajir are demanding a separate province.  Do you really think demanding a separate province will solve your issues and do you think the Pakistan government and Pakistan army both dominated by Punjab province will give you one?  Will they stop asking about your forefathers? When they came, how they came, from where they came, why they came?  Your ancestors were Hindus, your forefathers used to drink cow urine.  Please explain your family tree.  Why don’t you go back to your country?  Will they stop asking these questions?  Don’t you remember what they did with Bengalis? They were the largest population in West Pakistan and East Pakistan combined. It was a genocide.  Don’t you remember what they did with you in the early 1990’s? It was a genocide and it is still going on.  They are killing Baloch since they captured their land in 1948. It is a genocide.  They tried to do the same with Kashmir ...
