When I first read a tweet from various Pakistani twitter users about @farhanmasood's initiative of creating twitter avatars with green background and such, I had a weird feeling (very weird). So today when I read on PakCrunch about this same topic and how Imran Hussain had a similar feeling, I was relieved.
I love my country, I don't need to prove it to anyone by my twitter stream. Actually I agree with Imran that no one cares how much you love your country. I think what is important to do this August 14th, is to make an aim. Yes we all love to make aims in life. So let's make an aim that whatever we are trying to do to improve Pakistan -- whether it is by starting a company, launching a new product, cleaning our neighbourhoods, helping others in whatever way possible -- whatever it is, let's keep on doing it.
Show your love for your country by your actions, not by tweets alone.
While I applaud Farhan for what he is doing, I really do think that his talent and skills can be put to better use rather than creating these avatars. We have bigger fishes to catch, we have bigger problems to solve. Let's use our talent for productive activities.

Same thoughts (: We have over 10,000 people on social network that are GREEN but inside most of us are BLACK. We still throw trash on roads, break traffic signals and the list goes on!
