- Saving Pakistan, India and the world from total destruction.
Pakistan and I’ve been through a roller coaster ride during those few days of war in May, this year, 2025.
I’m not joking, we have returned from the brink of a nuclear war!
At first, our war was perfectly fine for the rest of the world. After all, we all have tough lives as it is. I understand. For a person from the West – why bother with happenings in the distant part of the world. We are the same, not much concerned about other corners of the world, as long as they don’t affect us.
Wake up call
Then, the Ted Talk by Someone, struck a chord of awareness all over the world. It was fine when Palestine has been literally annihilated killing hundreds of thousands of Palestinian men, women and children. Yet, the fact remains, it didn’t affect the lives of the rest of the world.
But
When two nuclear countries fight; It has the potentiel to literally envelope and annihilate the rest of the entire world. In that Ted Talk, the guy graphically showed, how it can, within a few years.
Situation accalated fast
There are several stages of nuclear war fare taking it to the brink of destruction. Within three days we were nearing the brink of it.
Trumps’ response
God bless Trump (for whatever personal reason!) stepping in and calling a truce by asking both countries to ‘stop it!’ You get the jist of it.
It was India which started it all. (Yes, we understand why Modi did it, his popularity was taking a nose dive, (like his Indian Air Force air crafts in the war!) and elections nearing, something effective had to be done. What better, than to strike at neighbouring Pakistan? So, it started initiating a war with false charges and being aggressive with Pakistan. They had invaded our borders and hit targets in different parts, including Bahawalpur.
Nur Khan Base, which is just a few kilometers from where I live, got hit with drone attacks.
Naturally, Pakistan had to respond, after just playing a defensive war, hoping sanity would prevail. Knowing that sanity and India don’t go hand in hand; Pakistan army, airforce and navy exhibited restraint for two whole days, with maturity. Shooting down 70 drones in different parts of the country and shooting down 3 of the famous Rafale aircraft! Along with downing three more aircraft. Our air force pilots went and attacked Indian bases and returned unscathed. Whereas we captured their female pilot and another one.
Pakistan is far smaller than India in size, and has a much smaller weaponry and quality of aircraft; but its the man behind the gun that matters! Our pilots and aerospace engineers are a force to contend with!
The funniest part were the memes that emerged in those days. Several of them so accurately summing up the situations in Pakistan and India. It was pretty hilarious, if it hadn’t been so serious.
My children and my maid were surprised that I was just going about my normal life in the minute-by-minute changing scenarios in those four days. Everyone was glued to the television and phones. Then they realized that I had been through two real wars. One in 1965 and again in December 1971 as a young school girl, . Those days we had black outs and we lost half our country, in ’71.
Anyhow. War is a horrid thing, and always has been. Each one of us needs to treasure peace in their lives and in their country.
