Whenever
something (good or bad) happens in Pakistan (or somewhere else), the first
thing
the people, who think they are somebody, do is to take notice of the
incident.

Notice temptation
The
last thing our president, the prime minister, chief ministers, ministers,
governors,
judges, commissioners, district coordination officers and patwaris were
tempted to do is:
taking notice of Pakistani cricket team’s defeat in the world
cup quarterfinal. The Pakistan
Cricket Board chairman was the last person, who
also joined the chorus and took notice of
the defeat.

The
familiar phrase – Mr (or Ms) has taken notice of a certain development -
exhibits
power, efficiency, piety and is self-serving.
The
perfunctory statement, devoid of any viable action, goes unnoticed by the
public and it
is has been left to TV channels and newspapers to run these
‘notices’ in the form of tickers
and front-back page stories.
