Diary of 2025 |
The year 2025 has come to an end, and the new generation of the twenty-first century is already looking ahead, determined to do something new in the coming year. Some are planning celebrations and gatherings, eager to welcome the new year with parties and reunions. Others are more cautious and reflective, resolved to work harder and not repeat the mistakes or missed opportunities of 2025. In one way or another, everyone is projecting hopes and expectations for the future, guided by their own roadmap of ambitions and anxieties.
We are used to hearing sweeping projections about the decades ahead. We are told how the world might look in 2040, what may unfold by 2050, whether communism will reassert itself or liberalism will regain ground in a world already gripped by ideological crisis. There are constant debates about whether AI-based software will dominate human life, or whether the United States or China will ultimately emerge as the defining power of the twenty-first century. Yet for Pakistan, such discussions feel distant and abstract. The country remains consumed by far more immediate and pressing concerns: terrorism, economic hardship, political instability, and social fragmentation.
