September 6 - Defense Day

I am bit confused today; today is September 6 and officially it's defense day of Pakistan which I've celebrated throughout my childhood with the high spirits of defending my homeland from all evils coming from inside or outside. And how can I (we) forget the war heroes who sacrifice their lives for our better tomorrow (they were my childhood heroes and today is no different).

I'm not writing this blog to honor those who fought for defense back in September 6, 1965 but another political defense day approaching us today. Yes, today our assemblies will decide next president of Pakistan - the symbol of federation, unity. The tragedy is one who was considered to be most corrupt in Pakistan almost 10 years back, will going to win this election. I voted for PPPP in this year election but never wanted Zardari to contest for President; he is no match to his predecessor - Gen(R) Pervaiz Musharaf.

I am not sure how to celebrate this day; my cherished defense victory or prepare myself for another defense day?
