"a bhola baadsha",

(22025)

If indeed CEO of Bahria Town builds that Taj Mahal then it will mean that he has proclaimed himself to be a “baadshah”, a “bhola baadsha”. Now he is not a “shahzada” anymore. After all he is a product of our own culture, where there is a “baadshah” sitting in almost every home and where children are brought up like “shahzaday” and “shahzadian”. Instead of copying Taj Mahal it will be much better if he spends people’s money on something like monorail or underground train (subway, tube) system which at least initially should connect different parts of Bahria Town. Such a system would benefit people hundreds of year from now. Where he can build a central terminal more beautiful than Taj Mahal and which will dwarf the Grand Central Terminal of New York in its usefulness. But all this is up to him that what kind of legacy he wants to leave behind. He can leave behind a system which will benefit people for a long time to come or build a monument of love and be remembered like a “baadshah” who misused people’s money, ruled with force and eventually replaced with force, “a bhola baadsha”. :flg

I ejoyed title of "bhola baadsha" given by u for Riaz Malik. I agree with your suggestions for him.

Dears AI and KMS, certain people are driven by self promotion of a very high degree. This attitude does not seem to necessarily affect the performance of their business enterprises. I mentioned one person in post 18111. Oracle's Larry Ellison is also a peculiar personality (although somewhat different), yet amazingly successful.
