Qomandan

When people, who have given their votes to a president to be elected, express their demands, the president should be all ears, so to speak. Or at least, he shouldn't tell them, they're upset because they haven't been given any "chowki" (official position).

I gave my vote to this guy because I was told he is an educated individual. I was told he's modern in manner and wouldn't behave like a "qomandan" (militia commander).

His guards beat a citizen of this country in a foreign land in front of tens of journalists' cameras.

How can he ever justify that?! For god's sake, why we Afghans deserve all these sorts of political "leaders"?

Valentine

Anita, my dearest, this is the second valentine we are celebrating together. I feel so happy and proud to have you. I love you forever, and ever.
