  Star quakes and internal phase transitions within anomalous x-ray pulsars
(AXPs) and soft $\gamma$-ray repeaters (SGRs) can produce mini contractions and
pulsar glitches. Shocks break out from their surface following such
contractions produce thermal x/$\gamma$-ray bursts. Highly relativistic dipolar
$e^+e^-$ bunches launched from the pulsar polar caps emit fast radio bursts
(FRBs) of narrowly beamed coherent curvature radiation, visible if they point
in the direction of Earth. Although these surface x/$\gamma$-ray bursts are
isotropic and are many orders of magnitude more energetic than the FRBs, they
are detectable by the current all sky x-ray and $\gamma$-ray monitors only from
our galaxy and very nearby galaxies.
