In my opinion balloting was pretty fair. However it was divided into 3 categories. First category was of excellent plots for which army officers were balloted fairly. 2nd category was of "very good" plots, for which dha friends & property agents were balloted fairly. 3rd category of good, bad & worse plots was for common public. All three categories were balloted pretty fairly, that is why even common people got few good plots too.

It seems most of us are living in fools paradise, where we expect every thing best for ourselves & ignore few life realities. How come 5 marls file owner can expect his plot to be near golf court & 1 K plot will be near Nala. How can you expect that you are enjoying early morning fresh air in your balcony next to the park & some General/Major is "enjoying" morning air coming from Nala or cemetery. We also forget that DHA scheme is for defence people's benefit & common people can take "some" of its advantage.

These are very basic realities that even a 10 years old kid knows. But we ignored these realities & now most of us are winging. It is good to be optimistic but at the same time we should be realistic, especially when we are living in Pakistan.
