Dr T. Chand, a former minister in Balochistan says it was a great pleasure to host the Chief Minister of Balochistan Mr. Qudoos Bizenjo at  his residence here in Miami, FL. "We discussed several topics of mutual interest.," Dr Chand said.

Or let us ask this way: when does a person find himself in a “golden cage” bored to death? Answer is when you are only one of the three claimants to a tribal fiefdom that is bigger than Cyprus, or almost as big as Lebanon, or half the land size of Israel, and   you are surrounded by a  half dozen sycophants whose dream in life is to carry your suitcase and that too in Geneva, Switzerland, in stead of half million people to who were God reincarnated, you feel a sense of loss. Even if your wine closet has the best alcohol that you drink every night and puff cigarettes in the manner of a dejected lover of Pakistan—not caring for other family members in the house. you will feel little joy and lot of frustration, if yo...
