With the deteriorating situation of our country, one can not help but be afraid when stepping out of their homes. On Chaand raat we experienced a huge problem. All cellphone networks were shut down and there was no way of contacting friends and family who were out and about. With the increasing dependance on cell phones, this was a huge blow to people all over Pakistan as a whole day without networks was unbearable. Now this was done for security, to catch terrorists off guard so they could not carry out acts of terrorism in public places. And since cell phone triggered bombs seem to be a favourite for these people, the networks were abruptly and unexpectedly shut down. Although it was in a way a good move in the sense that it failed all potential disasters, it's just sad to know that we have to go to such extremes to be safe.
