The coming of the apocalypse
If any sane person has had the misfortune of listening to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755’s music sensation Atif Aslam, they would take a stick, poke it inside their ears and tear their ear drums. Unfortunately with the year 2012 drawing near and PCB biting at itself, the gods decided it was time for the impossible to happen.
Salman Butt and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319 apparently because nobody likes him. Okay so Younis has abandonment issues and is a social disaster. But are we not talking about the same Pakistani side who was known for working together to beat the odds. There are sparkling examples to the state the obvious including the working relationship between Miandad and Imran Khan helping team Pakistan lift the 1992 World Cup - both were players with enormous ego’s who would have gladly beaten the other to pulp; such were the feelings between them.
But, like all humans, the cricketers too have been blessed by that soft yellow organ in the head we commonly call a brain. Unfortunately, the functioning of this organ seems to be hampered in the recent past. Maybe http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128 has made a mind control helmet. Only for that he would have had to rent great minds from all over the world since he himself lacks one. Or, these days for so much technology and black market dealers, it would have been easy for a man like Ijaz to have imported the brain of a dying man who in most probability was a fascist dictator.
Atif Aslam is a Pakistani heartthrob. Girls go wild and aunties scream when they hear his name, and Grandma’s usually have a heart attack. Such is the s*x appeal of the man. As 2012 is drawing near, the PCB with its rented minds have now come to the conclusion that any oxymoronic decision that they make will go unnoticed since everyone will die very soon. So all the great rented minds got together and decided that it should be up to the ball chewing Afridi and the Pimple cheeked http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-c88163 to decide the fate of Younis Khan.
Younis Khan mind you is not the smartest man we might know, but we do know that everyone loves his big smile even when he has performed miserably in a match. No one is infallible from the greatest cricketing players but looking at his statistics, the least that could be done is to give Khan the benefit of the doubt based on his services for the national cricket side. He may not know how or when to give the most appropriate statements and for all anybody cares call him an idiot if you want to Mr. Ijaz Butt. However, letting two younger players decide his fate, when the PCB knows that Younis is a social disaster means that his career will be left to the whims and wishes of those who don’t like him in the first place. How brilliant?
Some might be wondering what Atif Aslam has to do with cricket. Well he doesn’t. But some things just happen and one knows for the better that it is a sign the world is soon coming to an end. With the frivolous daydreaming of Mr. Ijaz Butt, who has run the PCB like an idiots guide to run a kitchen and the immaturity of Afridi and Butt - both of whom have a long way to go, it is difficult to build comparisons with senior veteran players Yousuf and Younis. It is indeed a sign from the gods when Afridi and Butt meet to decide the fate of Younis that the world as we know it might soon come to an end.
This brings us back to the curious case of the man we know as Atif Aslam. Well, the Pakistani singer is all set to sing a Punjabi track with wait, wait for it, yes, guns n roses. “The Guns n Roses”. The gods of rock music. The legends themselves with a nasal nose drop.
Friends Roman’s Country men, lend me your ears. The world is coming to an end. This marks the coming of the apocalypse, pray to thy Lord for mercy, prepare my friends for the end of the world.
