About poor and elite

I had the opportunity to meet several people, both common people and the influential lot; by which I mean Pirs politicians and corrupt provincial functionaries. I met them during Eid holidays at different places in my home district Larkano. Every person I came across there was talking about health, happiness, and prosperity but unfortunately the rulers have done nothing concrete for the people to have health facilities, happiness and propriety milieu. Despite a plethora of problems being faced by them, I found them that they were looking at the sunny side of everything. They were thinking only of the best, working only for the best, and expecting only the best. I found them that they had forgotten the past mistakes and injustices against each other and they were giving everyone a smile. Believe me, a majority of people I found there were totally satisfied with their life.
On the contrary, the ruling elite and the influential lot were found criticizing each other, they were not found thinking to improve their district, its towns and villages but they were found wasting time over non-productive activities and doing nothing worthwhile for the common people in the province, in the district and even in their native towns and villages. I can honesty say that the poor, destitute and deprived people of my country, my home province and those of my home district Larkano are really great but our ruling elite must have to learn to be great and for this they have to change their thinking ……………thus, their life.
