What a way to go

Recently two gray beards passed away in a heroic way.

The first Waseem Raja died playing cricket on a green field in England. What could be more awesome then that?

The second, Sardar Akbar Khan Bugti died fighting for a worthy cause he believed in, i.e. a Balochistan insurgency with his grandsons in Dera Bugti.

Both men were personal heroes and had great beards.

Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Illahi Rajiyoun May ALLAH forgive their sins and shame the shameless.

tut tut ... just when I was about to admire your blog, I saw this post ... the first part I agree with .. what better way to die as a cricketing legend than on a grassy field in England ....

the second .... where do I begin ... there is obviously smoke on both sides of the screen, but there is no denying that this tribal lord was presiding over his people at their expense for too many years .... no decent investment in their social infrastructure, education, civil libertes ... dude where do i begin and where do i end...
for you to label him as some sort of a matyr is repulsive .. the man had declared war against the govt ..... last time I check the OED, this amounted to treason which is simply inexcusable .... labels never help .... that man was good for nothing and got what he probab deserved ... death while buried in a cave ...........
