Viral sensation Ayesha’s overnight fame is both unique and familiar in many waysThere are people who go viral for a reason and then there are people who just go viral. Yes, I know she has a name but before anything, she is the girl in the green dress.

Nor have we qualified for any mega event like the Olympics or the World Cup. If the situation remains like this, I don’t think we will be able to qualify for the next Olympics or the World Cup. Such a pathetic performance from a country which has three and four gold medals at Olympics and World Cup respectively is unacceptable. The importance of the FIH Pro League is that the champions in 2023/24 and 2024/2025 will earn direct qualification in the World Cup. The only chance for qualification for the Olympics is if Pakistan win the Asian Games and Asia Cup for the World Cup.

There have been several railway accidents over the years in which people lost their lives while trying to cross the tracks at unmanned gates. But neither the authorities have changed their lackadaisical attitude in this regard nor have the people in general learnt any lesson. Such unmanned crossings remain a common entity in the country, especially in smaller cities and towns. The railway crossing in Padidan is one such spot and deserves the attention of the authorities concerned rather urgently. Many an accident has taken lives at this very crossing, but that has not alerted anybody anywhere to do something about it.
