OPEN LETTER TO THE CHIEF JUSTICE


With all due respect to you as a person I don’t have faith on you anymore. And neither do I want to respect you . It’s the institution of justice for which I have great respect but not for you as a person. If that calls for a contempt of court please feel free to call me . I was looking for a vacation that would give me excuse to enjoy the hypocrisy corrupted environment of the capital. So why I don’t have any faith in you anymore? Because you and the majority  politicians of the country have no difference at least anymore. You were made a hero well I don’t know if you were worthy of it or not but at least you have let down the general masses. You were reinstated to upheld the rule of law. Which just now seem is rule of Chief justice now. Like the govt you too take your wrath on the subordinate (judiciary ) . However you yourself have been incumbent to take any extraordinary measure. Oh you may have forgot what your achievements have been since your reinstatement ? let me help you in giving you a quick recap of what you did . The famous NRO case where till this day govt is not willing to take action. And you after passing the verdict haven’t look backed at whether it got implemented or not. Oh I’m sorry I forgot it’s not your duty to judge whether things get good or bad. Your job is to judge in a way that it makes atleast 6times a week to the headlines.(unfortunately you can’t have a round the year coverage because of vacations). The Punjab Bank scandal case,where in the saint of Law Mr. Babar Awan was among the accused . Will you enlighten me Mr. Justice where that case is standing?  Consider me poor at knowledge and feel free to reply my questions if you find some time after serving the nation.
You started the judicial activism but what we gained from it? Other than the lawyers beating the general public ,policeman,insulting the judges,attacking the Lahore High Court and turning the reins of judicial system at their own will what have we gained from it? What lies in it for me? You should have asked the govt to cut it expenses. O sorry but I forgot you love being driven around the town in Mercedes and BMW’s yourself how can you ask the govt to curb its expenses. You should have dealt strongly with the son of Prime minister  for being involved in the Hajj Scandal case. He came with lot of pomp and glory and what you did to him? Politely questioned him and let him go. You must be thinking how foolish I am thinking like this sort of things when I know  your son was also accused of wrong doing and eventually made you a hero. Maybe the same happen with the PM , by the end of the day he may come out as a hero too.
Please enlighten me what decision you took that helped me or some ordinary folk like you? You may have taken lots of suo moto actions but I have never heard any about the electricity issue. Even if you would have taken the action it won’t have mattered as last year you took notice of sugar prices and you couldn’t get your hands at anyone how was responsible to  control that. The mess this Hajj scandal case is and it’s been I think about 6months now but no worthwhile result in there too. And for the last 3 or 4 daysyou seem little active on that front. Every day threatning govt but then getting cold. Even a kid would have known what antics govt playing with you . But you seem like you havnt been able to understand that. How can a Secretary or any other govt official  get misplaced when ever you call him ? That reminds me since your inception there have been hardly 5-10 hearing of the missing persons case. Why you don’t dare touching that may I ask you sir?And i am sure for the lager interest of nation PM would soon meet you either call you at his home for dinner or just land uncalled for at some of your parties to assure you he & his govt  is ready to uphold the rule of law. And all will then settle down.   I don’t think you will get the time to read this and so I wont be called in for contempt of court . Hence its better I plan may vacations at my own.
Thank you
P.S Its time for the regular scheduled  electricity failure (we have to face many unscheduled in a day too  but perhaps you not aware of that ) have to go now. I have a lot to ask you maybe some other time. till then keep making the govt run on its toes ;)

Don't Think Of Doing Right , Its Wrong Here

Who’s country was it? Army , Doctors,Politicans,or Lawyers?  Who are the real inhabitants of it? Punjabi's, Sindhi's,Balochis,Pathans,Sarikis,Or Kashmiri’s? Well time and again we fight over this thing.But it seems like this country is in the hands of those who wish to do all on their own will. All those who wish to live the life of grandeur and luxury invade here. I am not talking AGAINST PAKISTAN. Instead I am just against our mindset as a NATION. And this includes me too.
For us the whole country has become more like a playground. Whenever we desire we start burning our own streets. Destroying our own homes , damaging our own cars. And then easily put it on the shoulders of some “3rd Force “who is not in favor of peace and calmness in our cities. Who is that 3rd Force? Its the hidden demons within us. The faces we don’t show to the world but wear them every now and then to satisfy our own lust,hunger,thirst , and desire. We want chaos around us to moan and cry , so when that happen we can go begging to the world to come and help us. When the world comes to our rescue we call for protection of our sovereignty values and integrity. And we call another of our distant family members who we raised with our own blood, so now they can come and suck our blood. Then we cry again and this keeps on moving.
We ourselves create and exploit the loopholes in the system. We never bothered amending them. We call ourselves saviors of our own country and then we shamelessly take away whatever we can lay our hands on. Be it pride, glory , peace , or justice.  Doctors killed the patients while asking for their own selfish motives to be heard of and we thought of them as messiahs? Politicians ripped the country as much as they can and when they got fed up they brought in there puppies and there chamchas to enjoy the feast. The army whenever wanted to take up an exercise in order to keep their own fitness jumped up the trucks and road down the streets of capital with the smile which surely would have made Alexander the great feel like he was not such a big emperor. And our lawyers who time and again grab, twist, bend and break the law to give way to their own laws. The ones with which they can live happily.
We are in a shameful state of conditions, and me writing this would be labeled as a traitor. So let it be that way. Because I am also sitting like the rest of my large majority of country men. So yes I am a TRAITOR. We live in such a shameful state of conditions that living here is not less than a miracle. A country where the basic emergency health care service is being suspended only because it was the brain child of a rival. A country where we criticize the government for subsidizing Roti and Atta for the poor. And a country where the govt. blames criticizes and threatens its own govt. Isn’t it a heaven of lunatics we living in? We can take up beat to death any person who speaks against us. And when the details start pouring in we silence some more dogs. And claim it to be a conspiracy against country and institutions.
Oh and lets not at all talk about the condition of justice in here. Because the Chief justice we have was restored by the power of people. Not the power of logic or law. Ok it was a right thing people did I agree let’s not go that back far. But let’s move forward so how much justice we got in this society? A place where Lawyers are feared even by thugs and dacoits . A place where no one whether a judge , a police personal, or a media person can expect any righteousness from the torch bearers of impartiality . Where ever and whenever the lawyers want they can do what they want . And not a single incident has happened since the restoration of C.J that the lawyers have bowed before the law of land.
What happened with the District and Sessions Judge of Lahore wasn’t an old thing. They kept on insisting for his removal without any allegations against him. And it finally happened after High court was attacked. Because the lives of high ups in our country is more important than some small insects down the road. By the way did you ever hear what was the reason why lawyers were so against that man? About whom they acknowledged man times that he is an honest judge. So if he is an honest man what was the problem?? His only job was to be honest. Or maybe the lawyers thought he isn’t that hot so he should not be in Lahore?? The poor chap just did what he was supposed to do. Recruitment of some lower level staff was going on in the Lahore Sessions Court which is done by the Session Judge himself. The President and the Secretary of Lahore Bar approached the Sessions judge with a list of there “Men” who should be filled in that place. The Judge refused to adhere to their wishes and had to face all the heat. Same thing happened with my Dad. He was transferred only because the Lawyers wanted him to get harsh with the lower judges and just give them a lesson to adhere and comply at the orders of lawyers. He didn’t bothered it thinking the lawyers don’t have much guts . But he was proved wrong and had to travel back to home. Since one won’t be a good lawyer if he losses .
Not to forget the circus being played out every day at a venue which is in the Red Zone area of our capital. No no I’m not talking of Parliament because it’s not a circus it’s an Opera House. Can’t you judge that even by its design? The things which happen there definitely resemble like an opera but the design too suggest the same. I am talking of the mighty SUPREME COURT OF PAKISTAN. Where are the courts orders regarding NRO,Sugar Shortage,and many other where it dared to show some eyes to the govt. ? Perhaps they are part of your toilet paper by now if you use them. Because so much paper can’t be stored in the Supereme court . Since the daily count of cases keep on rising. But only roars and orders you can see coming from the court room where the media is present in its full. And if the C.J forgot it let me remind there was case of missing persons . About which he was quiet enthusistaic to take up and show the govt. they really mean justice. Oh but maybe till now C.J’s own son is safe and isn’t abducted by the authorties. Oh and I forgot again the authorities don’t put their hands on similar sort of authorities. So there is no chance of C.J’s son getting abducted eventually mean no chance of case hearing. Amna Janjua and all those who are taking the rounds of Supreme court to get some justice please stop doin it. You Won’t get any justice.

 

This country of ours day by day turning into a place for those who want everything just the way they wish just the way they desire . I wonder when and how can it get back to its normal. Well I am not available at the moment to do that . Let me download Tranformers3 (heard its got a nice chic in there ) and let me update my facebook status.

Help Me PLEASE


As always i am confused. And why shouldn't i .Among the 180million inhabitants of my country who are somehow thought as incompetent and ignorant ,I think of myself a little different from them. And why shouldn’t I think that why when the rest of the lot think the same way too. I am more privileged then the 80% of my fellows. The literacy level I have is shared only by 5% in the country. But still even though no matter how hard I try or if I don’t try at all to be different, I am same like the rest of my countrymen. I am restless yet quiet about what happens around me. I am literate yet I believe in conspiracy theories like all other. And I’m always confused. I ask questions to find the answers. But I get more confused, or rather worse I’m mostly thrashed hardly because of my questions. To me pieces of puzzle don’t form the picture. I want to join them together but no one let them be that way. Why can’t I get confused when I always have to choose among the two things. For some part of population one thing maybe sin, but for the other maybe ritual. I’m stuck in the crossroads of right or wrong, power or people, money or minorities. Why won’t I get confused when I see my own govt. confused upon the killing of osama bin laden as if it’s a victory or defeat. When the sitting govt. ministers blame and thrash their own govt forgetting they are also part of it. When the saviors of our lives starts killing us brutally and mercilessly. When our intelligence agencies couldn’t find out about attacks on military installations but can easily track , kidnap, and kill a man who didn’t have any other weapon apart from his pen. When the divide between rich and poor increase so much that imported cat food starts getting sold at a price which can feed a complete family of 5 . But maybe this place if for cats and dogs to come, sit, enjoy the feast, relax, and walk out.
How I can have peace of mind when I can’t decide whether religion should be my priority or humanity. How can I stay safe when I think of minorities and speak for their rights and I’m thrashed upon with hard words asking for me to fulfill my religious obligations? I am not at all saying that this country or the religion has some problem. I respect and love both. Problem but lies within us. When it becomes hard to distinguish whether Islamic principle of jihad is right or its certain interpretation is wrong. When it becomes a matter of concern that those madrasah’s whose sole objective was to bring peace become the academies of violence. How can you decide whether these schools for those poor souls who otherwise can’t afford education are doing some good for them or  bad for the nation. We emphasize giving the poor there rights but we do so by stripping the poorer from their rights. We never give away our own guard to them. We talk of equality in Islam and we should bring that in our life  but we don’t let  our maid  to eat in our utensils. For us religion holds foremost importance but we never try to understand or implement religion. We can kill 1000 of people on the name of Islam but we won’t hold anyone accountable for the name of humanity. To us minorities are untouchables forgetting that Islam and our own state law talks of their rights. We won’t I get dissatisfied when a foreigner kills 3 people and walks out of country without even his passport with him but a man being shot and killed for just allegedly trying to steal . When our jails would be full of numerous innocents but our parliament would be short on them. What should I feel when a Chief justice is reinstated with the hope and desire of getting justice but he just start playing a media circus and nothing more. To this day Supreme court has not took any action in the missing persons case. Where is the justice now? For which Chief justice was thought as the only guardian and savior. We made a lot of hue and cry over the HEC funding issue. I think it was all for nothing and it isn’t required to keep it working. We don’t need education. As for me it’s making us more and more confused. Some other method can we have please?
As always i am confused. And why shouldn't i .

BOL MUSIC REVIEW


In the bleak and almost non existent conditions of a film industry You bring in the biggest musical sensation of subcontinent on board. And then You get a T.v actor,A Supermodel,And a VJ to act opposite him. And you have the story line which says it HARD TO DIGEST. Then surely you can expect a lot of attention. When the man at helm of affairs is Shoaib Mansoor then you always wait for something different yet extremely awesome. His previous film venture KHUDA KA LIA did that thing for Pakistan and muslims which today our politicians cant do. So if the man is coming up his new venture.The expectations increase. Add to that when you get several delays in releast the hype keeps on building. In his new venture BOL Shoman has got an ensemble cast of Atif Aslam,Humamima Abbasi,Mahira Khan,and her previous film’s leading lady in the principle cast. Along with many other top notch veterans . Since Shoman himself is a great music producer so when it comes to the music of his film you surely can expect something good. Specially if you keep in mind the last film’s score which made many newcomers a star in a day.So here is the song by song review of the album
1 HONA THA PYAR ( ATIF ASLAM & HADIQA KAYANI)
This song got leaked on internet in around August last year. With the rumuours that movie is going to release in September. But somehow things kept on delaying. However the song kept on mesmerizing people with its simple yet catchy and hummable  composition. Originally it had Faiza Mujahid along with atif on vocals. But now on the album its Hadiqa Kayani. It’s a brilliant compostion by Atif Aslam, lyrics are fresh too. And both the singers are top notch. Specialy atif who just move with the flow of song effortlessly and sings it with heart touching emotions. The only draw back the song may face would be its now doing the rounds on internet for so long it probably has lost some charm. But maybe as the promos continue it come out as winner again.
2 Din Pareshan Hai(Sajad Ali)
Next to come behind the mic is Sajjad Ali with a new rendition of his old composition of Din Pareshan Hai. Sajad Ali have a brilliant and powerful voice and this time he is back with some song after a long time. He shows the perfect emotions of sadness,yet the hope at end of tunnel.Equally complimenting the vocals are the lyrics which speak of the importance of life. The song comes in another version latter in the album titled as FILM VERSION. Both versions have hardly any difference except the musical arrangement.
3 Dil Jaaniya (Hadiqa Kayani)
Hadiqa comes again at the helm of affairs this time alone. The song isn’t mentioned at the music credits on the official website of the movie but its in the album. It starts with an altered tune of some song which I couldn’t find which one it is. Hadiqa sings in his signature Punjabi style but this song is totally misplaced . I wonder if it is actually a song in the SHOMAN film. As it has got some really weird rather disgusting rapping in between. And I cant even imagine how it would look on screen. Had it been some Bhatts film this song would have got quick acclaim. But here it doesn’t fit the mood. And isn’t even a replay sort of number.

4 SAIYAAN BOLAIN (SHABNAM MAJEED, SAHIR ALI,BINA JAWAD)
Track title and the people at helm of affairs suggest this time it would be something different. And so it doesn’t disappoint. Shabnam Majeed is the lead singer in the song which is mujra styled song . Its being picturised at Iman Ali. Musically its soft yet grand. And the emotions of the courtesan are properly emoted in here. Lyrics are fresh too. It’s the kind of song where you can well imagine great dancers like Madhuri and Rekha dancing to it. Hope Iman Ali live upto the song.
5 MUMKIN HAI(AHMAD JAHANZEB & SHUJA HAIDER)
This duo was mainly responsible for the last music of Shoman’s film with around 3 to 4 songs on their credit. Shuja Haider was a revelation there and Ahmad Jahanzeb touched the new extreme and showed how much variety he can offer. Here this number which is composed and written by Shoaib Mansoor himself  they both talk of hope that whatever may happen a better thing surely will come. Music is soothing and so are the vocals. However the song seem like just forced with lyrics. And it’s not the type which you will want to listen or sing along much.An average number.
6 Kuch Bol Do(ATIF ASLAM & HADIQA KAYANI)
The brilliant duo comes again this time with a little soft rock song. The song starts with nice drums and when atif comes behind the mic you can be assured this is gonna be something magical. Its indeed a great composition by atif. Both the singers are not only competing each other here but also complementing . There voices gel together well. And here Hadiqa proves that she is the real diva of music in Pakistan. To match the difficult scale levels of Atif and yet to show her own brilliance is great. The lyrics are top notch . Frankly I want it to be little more hard rock kind of stuff. With some more hard drum beating and guitar riffs. But still this song is great the way it is.

7 BOL BACKGROUND(BAQIR ABBAS)
Baqir Abbas is the flute mastero who previously had made apperances in COKE STUDIO along with Ali Zafar and Tina Sani , is the producer and composer of this score. If the album was good till now. Here it touch the excellent category. It starts with soft flute latter joined by large orchestra and the haunting voice of Hadiqa Kayani humming BOL. This is grand in its arrangement simply a chilling kind of a background score. Surely it will make you move in your seat when you will watch it on screen.

RECOMMENDED SONGS


HONA THA PYARR, DIN PARESHAN HAI, KUCH BOL DO

More to Pakistan Then Osama

















OSAMA, OBAMA, & A SLAVE OF LADY GAGA


So another one of you reading it proves you have ample time to waste on it.But then I wonder why we always complain of time shortage. Well we live in a strange world. Or maybe I’m thinking that way these days after reading and watching lot of propaganda & counter propaganda stuff. Maybe know it’s getting hard to accept all what I’m shown and all what I easily shut my eye of reason and logic. Every morning we wake up we don’t wish it to be a good day, we just hope It don’t turn into a bad one. We are technology obsessed too without even understanding or even bothering of the consequences. I wake up and check my online life much before I think or attend the real life issues. I switch on the T.V to find out what may have happened  during the last 4 hours or so I slept last night. And this entire still won’t change the world and the things happening in it. But we  going deep in this , Know If I say we are just being made addicted of all this to make the products and services sell it won’t be wrong. But I would be labeled a conspiracy theorist. Think yourself for a minute what’s the hottest thing we hear about in our lives these days?? Facebook,Twitter,Iphones,Ipads,Android Phones that’s it. They all have grown into big big giants only because of the hunger we have shown. A hunger created without any logic. I don’t think any of these do any good to us. Yet there are advocates of the new technology not only creating hype and frenzy about it but also making it a point to join the band wagon. By the way I am also thinking of buying an android phone because yes I’m also trying to jump on the bandwagon.
Life wasn’t about all this what we have been made to feel, think  , accept, and promote. It was much more than that. I don’t know where it got lost. And the problem is I can’t find the answer too. Or maybe I’m too scared to try finding it. I am like on a dope diet of all these things. To me the reality and hardship of life ended from the time I saw cartoon characters stealing it from each other to get more. The time when I saw the protectors of law selling it on street. The moment I found power can over power any truth justification or law. I started getting programed to get just the best. To get it from whatever way. Some will argue it’s the effect of nurturing at home but no it’s more than that too. Media is more powerful then parents today. I thought Johnny bravo was cool because he can have any girl he wants. I thought Richie Rich is like me it’s just his family was strong so I started cursing my own . The trouble started from there. Parents were thinking they fulfilling the needs of their children but still they not behaving properly or always seem like unhappy. What they forgot was that long ago wants became the needs. And needs were considered like if they are the sole right of the person without doing nothing even. We fed the whole system with the lust of money, & perishable items . We made these things more important than human values , character , & emotions.
And when you go against the laws of nature what you expect to get another new world? Certainly not but we made another world in our real world. A world full of fantasy,  lust,  jealousy, selfishness , greed, and bigotry . Yet we never tried to go back and find the root cause. We feel it easy to cut the weed from top. We don’t take the pain to pull it from roots. Or maybe we don’t want to pull it out. We just want a fresh face. That keep on feeding our own interests. World surely has gone in some strange hands and strange thoughts. Maybe I’m also one of them . Thinking loud about the world we live in surely make some other minds think for a second. And we all are in a way trying to create our own small world. Our own followers. Whether it be Osama or Obama the whole war is just to get fame and a known face. The cause for which everything starts dies up somewhere in between. We don’t wana find what this world is going to be like or what’s  gonna be our place in it. Yet we find it easy to check and comment on a fake profile of some lunatic named LADY GAGA.

I AM BLASHPHEMER TOO


I’m not even writing about it because I’m not affected. I am not even bothering much about it because he wasn’t even a muslim . I don’t raise voice because then I would be labeled blasphemer too. But still deep within me there is a small place which feels emptiness, and pain. Which feel what is wrong and what should be done. I am Fed up of this place within my heart. It pinches me and I feel guilty.
 It give me sleepless nights . And it makes me sit up and start  thinking   that wasn’t the God same for all? Doesn’t he say I love my creation for whatever cast or color they maybe? I don’t know even if thinking like this is blasphemy too . But then I think who are the people to judge me? They just same as me. If I love or hate my God who are the people to judge that i m disrespectful. If I love my God then why fingers are pointed at me if I raise a logical question? If God has logic behind everything then is it wrong to ask ? Maybe its just that we hide our own poor knowledge by wrapping the issue under the cover of respect .

What ever maybe blasphemy but does it still mean that we kill people just when we want? And then we consider it a service to our religion? Is there any example of massacre by the early Islamic figures? Just to spread islam or to maintain respect for islam? Then who are we to take up the issue in our hands. The thing isn’t whats wrong whats right . The thing is we need to be humans firstly then think of our religion. <strong>STOP GETTING EMOTIONAL BY THE NAME OF RELIGION. THINK YOURSELF BECAUSE GOD HAS A REASON FOR EVERYTHNG.
</strong>
P.s This article by sana saleem is a worth reading thing on the same topic......

REVOLUTION.....WHERE?? HERE,THERE EVERYWHERE


Every population is as capable as that of Tunisia to kick start a movement of dissent yet what most of them lack currently is the will, unity and valor of the Tunisians to exercise this, for which they must be saluted.   HAFSA KHAWAJA
And i agree with this comment of Hafsa Khawaja on her blog. Of all the nations perhaps its we the Pakistanis who need the revoltuion most. We dont want the revolution  which the forgein controlling party head Altaf Hussain  asks for . We dont want a long march as Zain Buggti threatnes to do or else Balochistan will be seperated. But indeed we want one.
Human endurance is a strange thing . You predict it to fail, to end, to criple but it keeps on moving.  It keeps on going. Beyond the limits of imagination and thinking. But ultimatly it falls flat.
Perhaps those illetrate of our politicians may have heard about some theory like this that human being can tolerate suffering. But perhaps they forget where to end. From powerlessnes to power hunger. From riches to ashes. From Villas and farm houses to tents and road sides . We have injustice all across . From religious fundamentalists to liberal fundamentalists. From Pro Americans to Pro Taliban. From Communist mind set to Khilafat mind set . We have intolerance every where.
And still we dont think that we need a revolution ? Still we dont feel the need of a drastic change? we havnt gotten already enough? I just wish the answer gets in an affirmative soon. Or else time aint far away when either we would be run over by the amercians . Taken over by the talibans.Or made to bend against the will and whim of liberals. What we lack is a single unity , single identity.But the problem is maybe we cant even have a revolution. Or thats what i think since we wnt find a single reason to be united . A single person to take the reins of affairs . And a single ideology to save us. Else we would be in ashes and so would be our names in history.
A sad fact is that today even in literate classes the division of thinking and ideology is so wide that its hard to bring at one point. We claim the killer as SHAHHED and the one who got killed as SHAHHEED too. We need to set our thinking and aims right.
We have been suffering for lasat 60 years and will continue to have it this way unless we dont change our attitudes. All this isnt because of some american, or jew,or facist, or islamic fundamatlist consparicy that we are suffering from within and outside as well. Its nothing but our own mistake of tolerating injustice,inequalty, immorality,intolerance . We need to change it today. To start a revolution we need to change this 1st.
Then only we can find a will, unity and valor like Tunisian to exercise revolution.

REAP OF DEEDS


History always has a lesson in it but for many it is somewhat boring. Let’s not go very far away there , let’s start from where your and my memory  doesn’t fade away and we have been witness to all of it. The earthquake rattled half the country almost half decade back. We siting in our comfy and safe heavens stated casually it was their sins they got punished for.  It was wrath of God which was inevitable for them. Times moved slowly we got the curse of suicide bombing being attached with bodies getting blown up in every nook and cranny of the country. But we said it’s the moulvis &amp; It’s the  fruit of  Zia ul Haq and his old ally AMRIKA’s  plant which they planted here and now they going to take over us. We kept talking just because we were alive by the end of another day of bomb blast and we never considered it a big thing by the way.
Next came the target killings, the air crash, and the most recently floods. Times changed so did the situations but one thing remained static i.e our thinking and perceptions. We said the target killings were just a political game. What we goto do with them. Those who put there hands in the dirty game of politics they should know what they dealing with. It was another matter along with people who were targeted hits many other suffered during all of it. The air crash came and we again started talking that it’s the work of fate, or it’s the bad weather , some even blamed the poor old pilot . And the most imaginative was that army’s automatic defense system took down that plane. For us it was convenient to talk because at least that is one thing we are very good at. And then the biggest of disasters hit us which is by some reports at 3rd no. in all the biggest disasters of world. We blamed this time to the govt. to the sins people all around committed and called for the wreath of Allah. We blame people that they not getting out to help there fellows. We blame the foreign countries for not helping us in this misery. We blame the politics being played in all this situation. And the most recent the Sialkot incident, we said it’s barbaric its unlawful and inhuman. And again we put the blame on police, on the illiteracy of people and the disrespect of law prevalent in our society since start.
 In every catastrophe or times of troubles have we ever thought where we are wrong? Where our part should have been prominent but all we did was just criticize sitting in front of our TV’s , all we did to sympathize with other human beings was just that we updated our FACEBOOK and TWITTERS . To show solidarity we changed our DP’s to be like the ones which were most common those day. Have we ever thought where it all went wrong?? Was the terrorism just a leftover of zia or did we played some part in it too?? Surely we are bigger players in this issue then 7 generations of zia. We never considered those madrassa students as worthy to be our equal . We gave them the status which British used to give to their servants. To us a moulvi was just a servant and he should bend religion at our free will. He surely acted that way till his masters changed and he started playing at their hands with a Ak47 in hand a jacket caressing his body and the name of Almighty in his mouth. He worked not for religion , for the new master, because we made him so that he can serve us not the God. We blame the govt. when its civilian we give reference to the green good old days of martial law and when it’s the dictator sitting at our heads we start talking of our freedom. We never tried working out what is better for us. We just never wanted to rise from our tv lounges since we were never hit with it. Today we say America isn’t helping us , our we helping ourselves?? From top to bottom we all have gone so rotten that now to us we have lost the sense of good and bad. And as many religions and philosophers may put it that when this situation starts happening in a country then there is no turning back.
To electing the govt’s and to the killings of innocent boys, and the plane crash to the bombings at masjid, to the IDP’s and the flood victims not being given there due , I and you and all of us are equally responsible. We made it all happen. It’s not just their own sins they are being punished for but it’s the burden of our sins also which they holding at the moment. But as it will continue time won’t be long when I and you would also be facing it. Till the time we won’t start accepting our own mistake our own sins , we can’t hope for betterment. Situation is so grim that even the most hopeful of the people are now doubtful about the country. But we still are not bothered . Instead of asking for God’s mercy we begging for foreign aids. That’s the level we have sank to. And if this continues then maybe soon we wnt be here to update our statuses .We as a nation are now as confused as this piece may seem to you . But maybe now is the time to turn it all over.

P.S this idea was getting up in my mind for 2 3 days but 2 of these articles I read in newspaper literally ran fear down my spine. Here the links are for them they are a must read .

SMALL DOTS,BIG CANVAS


In your day to day life matters atleast once you must have witnessed the scene of sunrise or sunset . Even if you are not much of a natural beatuy praiser you must have been awestruck by the beauty and attraction of that scene.But  is all that stuning effect only due to magnamity of mighty sun?Perhaps not that particular scene doesn’t have only sun in it . There are beautiful trees ,clear skies,landscape,and the background music in form of humming of birds which completes that whole view.All those small things make a bigger picture which is not only more colourful but also more exciting.Our lives are full of small things which unfortunatly we skip and move to the next thing which makes it presence felt .
Human life has been moving with rapid pace where newer and bigger things are taking place of older and smaller things.It is ok for the betterment of our race .But unfortunatly we have been slowly missing something in this rat race to the top.We are starting to lose the essence of life,love,and humanity.Small things which once upon time used to have a great place in our life are relegated to back seat .The 14” inch T.V which used to have the magical charm of bounding the whole family at least once in a day for watching that only T.V serial which used to be on air has lost its place to mammoth size LCD’S and PLASMAS with 100 channel acess .There used to be only 15 minutes of cartoons in the morning and I m sure  for every child that used be a bigger attraction then going to school.Now even 24 hour CARTOON NETWORK cant give that satisfaction.The pocket money in those times was a very small amount and still kids always have there plans of what books to buy from it what toy to get from it.Today pocket money of kids have gone to such a high amount which once used to be there fathers monthly income .And still they are not satisfied with it since they cant buy the new Iphone using it .The eidi used be just of symbolic gesture now it has become more of  a money and granduer show .But still  no  one is satisfied  because today we have forgot how to comproise, we have forgot how to tolerate,and we have forgot how to share.These small things in life are like a jigsaw puzzle they complete a picture when combined together but when u start losing its pieces u cant make one.
I read this some where that sometimes we underestimate the power of a hug , a kiss from a loved one, a kind word from a friend,a pat of appreciation on success,tears of happiness,and a laughter so full of life.If we understand the importance and worth of these small gestures we can always relish our times.We can always be succesful no matter what the task is. When we are happy  these small gestures doesn’t seem too much but when we are sad only then we understand there importance.Isnt it better if we know about there worth in happy times and make our sad times a little better ? Since anyone can be happy in good times the real champ is the one who stays happy in bad times.Enjoy the smaller things of your life .Only then you can see the bigger scope of life.

CAN YOU ANSWER ME?


Can some one answer me
How many bodies will it take till they know
that how many people have died?
and how much blood will it take till they know
its colour is red
and how many orphans will they make till they know
that a whole generation is fatherless
and how many widows will they count till they pronounce

They cant earn for there kids its against our PRIDE

and how many fools will rule us till we know
we have been made fool?
can some one answer me?

MADRASAH


i went to a school
where i learnt only one lesson
where i was taught only one subject

my school was different from others
my syllabus was far away from the rest
but still i studied a subject
still i learnt a lesson

but i never knew why
i was always taught to hate my brothers
to dislike my sisters
but i continued to study a subject
devised by the devil himself
i continued to learn a lesson
without knowing what the reason of the lesson

know people think i m narrow minded
yes i m
because i was not given the right lesson
because i was always restrained to learn the right subject

people think i m
different from them
i m just like them
its just that they learnt a different lesson
i studied a different subject

its just that i was made to be like that
and they were prepared to be like that

LIVIN' THE CHANGE


Lets get together and wipe the tears
lets make it better  for those
Who cant make it them selves
Lets stand for them
Who cant hold themselves
Lets fight the devil
Within ourselves and in our cities

And lets bring the change
so tomorrow we can live the change

HOPE


I have always written about the bad things or the grey and dark shades within us whether its my poetry or the columns . Even though I always say we have the habit of criticiszing a lot and I do it myself.For last 2 days I was thinking on what to write about next . For the first time watching the idiot box helped me getting some stuff while watching the usual mindless,aimless political talk show.And also some one pointed out to me you write something funny or talk about some optimisim make it something which I can have fun reading . So this new topic poped in. Hope , a four letter word  which I hope will help me complete my article.The literal meaning of hope is to have a belief to have a positive outcome from the events of life. It is the thing which keeps you moving in even the most troubled of times.Hope is built by the belief in one’s on ability , having belief in the hard work you put,and most importantly to have faith in God . He is the one who put hope inside the person.

Allah made the life difficult for the human from the very beginning.Bbut thanks to Mighty Lord its only hope which have brought the humanity this far .Sailing our ship of life from even the most turbulent times. The stories of hope are so many and so inspiring that if we project them in our country I m sure we can change the mind set of people.From the current no hope sitution to yes we can do kinda state.

First let me start from the story I heard last night.An American shoe company wanted to expand its bussiness outside USA they sent 2 of there managers to an african country to asses the market. After 6 months both the managers submitted there report .Oneof them  wrote in the report people there are so backward they even don’t know what shoes are? So I think it would be a waste to even try to give them shoes it will be just be a total loss sitution for us.On the other hand the other manager wrote that people are not aware what is a shoe ? So it will only take a bit we teach them about it and we can have a huge market on our hands within no time.It was the hope which made the  manager think like that .The company took his advice and started the project latter on not only the company became a world wide hit .Even some of the african natives became its brand ambasdors. That company was none other then Nike . See what hope can do.Out of every crisis there emerges an opportunity its just that we must have some hope to confront that and impliment that.The light at the end of tunnel is more dominating then the darkness within and its nothing else but hope.

Its hope which made einstein prove himself when he was considered a  dumb witted boy in his school days.Latter on he became the biggest scientist of recent times.Its hope in himself made  Bill Gates the owner of worlds biggest company and the creator of the initial operating system when he was dropped out of college.He laid the foundation of techonology which is today making us all connect with each other with a single click.Its also hope that Stephen Hawking from his wheel chair can write a book and make it one of the best sellers of the  known history . The man who can not even move with his will never let his disability take over his hope.He is perhaps the best example of hope.As the say after every sunet there comes a new dawn.That man proved it . Its indeed true we can fight the darkness within from even a small candle of hope always burning inside ourselves.

Another story I must mention it may not be that inspiring but it is worth reading.There was a young boy once he was supposed to sit an exam .One day before that he went to market and there was an old lady .She was not able to cross the road .The boy helped the lady in crossing the road.The lady gave her well wishes for his future .A candle of hope  suddenly came alive inside the boy’s heart he became sure he will pass the test.It so happened he cleared the test but couldn’t make it to where he wanted.He was very frustrated but still there was a hope sitting some where in his heart .And finally the old lady’s wishes came true that boy achieved what he wanted . Life kept on moving .He moved from school to college and university.Even when he was not happy with God still the hope kept him believe God.He was very pessimistic kind of and weak hearted person but somehow there was always a hope that life will get better.This thing kept him moving in life with all the difficulties coming his way.People thought he is usual kind of ordinary guy.He thought lets try something .He started writing poems.Initially people were very critical like always in our society.But his eagerness to prove himself kept him moving.He changed his pen name and started writing poems by the name of famous poet.You wont believe all of sudden people started liking that stuff .Hope made him do what his skills wouldn’t have done. He could never even draw a line but he thought lets put my emotions in colours .And somehow he was satisfied with what he did.The belief in his ablities did it again.Its not that life was very happy for him as I said he was very passimistic kind of person but still the light at the end kept him moving.Then suddenly one day someone asked him to write some inspirational essays.He never in his life have even dreamt of writing but he thought lets try this one thing too .He did it and people not only liked it but the thing to proud of was that even his parents considered he has got some skills .The faith in God made him do that.So all the conditions of hope got fullfilled and he became a better human.Not someone great or big but a good human being .Someone who is happy at heart.And one who is happy from within will be happy from outer.I probably don’t need to tell who that person is some of you may  have figured it out .And those who havn’t cant find out because I my self know very less about that guy too.

But  in short let that candle of hope burning within yourself to bring the change.Let that ray of hope fall on others too.And only this can change us even hardwork sometimes doesn’t pay .
