The Death Of an Beautiful Idiot? A few words on the brave and bold Quindel Baloch Basu Ka Bakwas


Basu  Ka Bakwas
When I first read the news that Quindel Baloch was no more my first response was a dismissive shake of my shoulder .Who would or why would anybody dispose of the idiot blond persona like our own Poonam Panday,Rakhi Sawant etc.A upcoming starlet doing what needs to be done to get a foothold in the circus of the absurd  from Pakistan. Tantalizing, teasing with bold revealing avatars but not going all commando, leaving us all wanting more. Making bold asserastions like going naked if the Pakistan team wins a la Poonam and then breaking down hysterical in a tank top from the country of the hizab.That video was the most shared for a few minutes then the minutes up where’s Alia Bhatt. She was what we all wanted a break from our done to death and too repetitive to be interesting tantrums of a desi cute girl. Something fresh from our neighbor other than threats, hate and terror. Just when we couldn’t get enough of dear Baloch reality breaks my skepticism born of a hope that humans everywhere are the same including starlets. Sexy,cute  Quindel lies dead like a  broken doll ,strangled by   wait for it her brother  and the reason hold on this is important, I want to underline this point with a big bold red line for honor.
Apparently it was dishonorable  for a young women to strut her body and mind openly in public .This affront can only be remedied by giving  her adams apple a nice squeeze.Was that not the entire point of her being who she was a starlet among the infinite others that make our day a little less mundane. There was an infinite support wave on social media and the usual dirty girl deserving her bit garbage. What caught my attention was a justification that went, could we imagine that our sisters strutting their wares on public what we would we  have done. What age are we in ,aren’t there actresses in India ,do they not have brother fathers and boyfriends. Our sisters are employed where they want and are independent with boyfriends ,cant imagine strangling them for their choices.
Then there is the act itself where is the honour in wringing the neck of a women in cold blood. Was there honour in trumpling random people under a truck,gunning people in a resturent etc.What good will it do to the reputation of Pakistan its inhabitants and their fate? What sort of depravity justifies an act of a man which considers women as a object than a person.

I went through her few last twits and videos ironic the last Video had the line “Tere thumka pe lag zane ban (your gyrating waist is going to be banned) baby please don’t do it again”. I can understand the canonization of Burhan Wani but the killing of a loud mouth who was lampooning   both the Maulana and Modi beggars belief .Not a very smart thing to do in Pakistan apparently as we found out. Our neighbor is not what we want it to be ,but what it actually is a very dangerous place for anyone in close proximity. Sadly a beautiful siren falls silent and Pakistan dies another death.
