Tyranny

With tyranny appreciated and coercion praised
The noble and gentle are bewildered and dazed

Today the world is simply disenchanted
     Tomorrow there will be many fingers raised

Just checking to see what's going on here. Hope you are fully recovered and enjoying a pain free life. How was Portugal?

Thanks for your enquiry. Since the Operation I have had no more pain. I reached Portugal via Zurich on May 12. Here there is Spring Season. Very pleasant weather with lot of sunshine. Good atmosphere for rest and writing. Regards. -Mohammad

Just wondering how your back is; did you get any help or relief? Sore backs are so dibilitating. Hope all is well!

Thanks for your concern, Elizabeth. Incidentally, I happened to be in Karachi when it happened. I ran from one Orthopedic Surgeon to the other in top hospitals, all diagnosing Spinal Stenosis and advising surgery. Finally, I was advised to see a Neurosurgeon in the Naval Hospital Shifa. I went through the Surgery on March 7 followed by a three week physiotherapy. I am OK now and proposing to travel to Portugal on May 11 as the weather has become unbearably hot in Karachi. Regards. -Mohammad

Don't know what to say about the raised finger Mohammad; over here it has a less than saluatory meaning; hope these raised fingers don't start a war! :)
