		<description><![CDATA[For those that wish to know more about Irfan - http://www.hazara.net/news/news2013/irfan_ali_khudi.html

@ Aimee - rough translation of Irfan&#039;s Urdu pieces
He is speaking of the dilemma in Pakistani society . Some examples he gave: 
I asked a traffic police: why is the traffic light not working? 
the Police answered: son, this is Pakistan! (meaning, this is how things are, cause it is Pakistan)

I stood in a bank line for over an hour. Someone in the bank who knew me
asked, why are you standing in the line?
I pointed to the written post about standing in line. And he said,
&quot;this is Pakistan&quot; (meaning, the rule means nothing). 

Someonw was going to take me to the Secretary (a high official); He asked, 
Son, do you have suit/tie? I said, yes, but what does that have to do with 
the wisdom/ideas/knowledge? the guy, said, &quot;son, this is Pakistan&quot;.

Elites/polic makers in Pakistan thinks that the 40-km or 100km is what is Pakistan (i.e. Islamabad). We will
make a peace wall around the presidency palace, where people can write on the peace wall. 

His main idea is: Make a Peace Wall around presidential palace (palace, perhaps a sarcastic reference to the president living in a big place far removed from reality). So, anyone
with creative idea, anyone can come and write their message. So the parliament members
can come and read messages on the peace wall to &quot;connect&quot; with the ordinary people.]]></description>
