A confused Intro...

.... here it is, the beginning of my blog. And as I wonder who is going to read this, I fail to remember what message I wanted to convey through it. It’s the so many options in the Blogger to edit my page that made me forget the purpose of it in the first place - world has become smarter and more complicated since the last time I checked. I guess I created this blog just to share the ‘high’ with you people.

I looked up the meaning of ‘doping’ before coming up with the name of this blog (no, its not random). Wikipedia told me that “The use of performance-enhancing drugs in sport is commonly referred to by the disparaging term "doping"”. Now, according to this definition I do not qualify as a doper. This is just outrageous. How can they not consider my hundreds, maybe thousands, of hours of recreational and not-so-purposeful use of drugs. Someone, please edit the Wikipedia doping page.

I am a 24 year old guy, blogging from the most happening place in the world, KarachiPakistan. If you have not heard about Karachi or Pakistan, you must not be more than 5 years old and need to step off this blog (it contains adult content). If you disagree with me that its not the most happening place, check out the news. I am pretty sure you will hear or read the name Pakistan a lot of times through the media, no matter which channel or media group you ascribe to be authentic – it could be the latest suicide bombing or ethnic violence or drone attack that *must* have taken place in some part of Pakistan today. It could be a documentary covering the harrowing scenes of devastation caused by the floods, or it could be the cricketers who lodged an appeal against their alleged spot fixing trial results. So, we are all over the news – and for all the wrong reasons.

There is a lot more to Karachi and Pakistan. There are protests and strikes (some of them turning violent), there is dengue fever that is seeping in fast into our society, there are honor killings, there is Zardari and then there is doping as well. These are also an integral part of our society which are not always in the limelight. I guess we will be talking about these here.

P.S. I am *NOT* selling drugs here, so please do not contact me for any such information. Thank you.
