Real Armours for the Real Threats

School, collages and universities, all around Pakistan would remain close a week from October 21, 2009 to October 26, 2009. Holidays always bring cheers and joy to students but this time it brought terror and panic, the panic of being a victim of terrorism. Terrorism has shocked Pakistan this October very badly. Figure of the killed in these terrorist attacks has been raised to 180 (according to BBC reports). It made worst and horrible impressions on students specially. Two bomb blasts at IIUI Pakistan, shocked every student of Pakistan not only IIUI-ians.
Real threat is not that these terrorists are going to kill us; real hazard is that they are making us be deficient in unity, morals and education. Pakistani students, in this high-speed era, lack behind seven days. Today, when every second matters in the world of science technology and education we – the Pakistani students – have missed a trillion billions seconds.
Students, as Quaid –e- Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah used to say, are the future of Pakistan. And this future is left behind to face ignorance, panic and terror. Militants real targets is not our bodies, they want to aim our minds, our unity, our moral values and above all Pakistani sovereignty. This is not a war; it’s a fight for your morals and for your country. They are not only killing us, they are making us mentally paralysed. Militants’ and terrorists’ and radicals’ appetite is not blood and mass, it’s the thoughts and morals that can make Pakistan more flourish.
Pakistan is not just an area with planes, trees, hilly sides and water falls; it is a Motherland. This does not belong to those politicians who come and go before seasons change and not those who; in the hard times, packed there bags, rushed to embassies, get the visas stamped and fly overseas. It belongs to those who suffer and survive of it, it belongs to those to get hurt and die for it. It belongs to us!
We can make it more flourish and more prosper only when we are educated. As Quaid –e- Azam advised students, “Let me give you this word of warning: you’ll be making greatest mistake if you allow yourself to be exploited by one political party or another… Your main occupation should be – in fairness to yourself, in fairness to your parents, in fairness to the State – to devote your studies.” - (Addressed at Public Meeting Dacca, March 21, 1948).
Do not let yourself be a victim. Real threat is not to our bodies, it is to our mind, thoughts and thinking. This threat is to everything which can do some good to Pakistan. Educate yourself, be aware to danger be familiar with real armour. Education is main power. Get it and go for it. Let the education work to fertile your minds not only enhance your resumes and heavy you pockets. Be aware to real dangers. They can remove our bodies but they can remove the thinking and morals.
Do educate yourself, not only in technology but other fields as well, because now, it is a matter of honour, the honour of Sabz Hilali Parcham (Pakistani Flag). Be aware and do not let anyone to play your morals. Real targets are not bodies; actual targets are morals and unity of Pakistan. May be at some point we belong to different religions, races, colors and culture but above all we belongs to one Motherland – PAKISTAN…!!!
Rise Education,
RISE PAKISTAN!

This life made me discover that every new sun rises with hope and every day when suns sets it leaves new experiences.
Books are the most uncomplaining teachers but the whole thing is not supposed to be written in books. Many real things we are taught by people we deal with.
We become stronger only when we are betrayed. So, be humble to those who let us be strong.
It does not matter being soft at heart but being hard-hitting on outer side does.
Live for those who care for us not for those we care for. Be happy for those who want us to be happy unconditionally.
If I want to be happy for those who wants me to be than I have to be, as happiness is not a place and no one is going to invite for there.
Be honest with own self, because, if we lie we would be disloyal to our own self, not anybody else.
If you’re troubled do not show it on your face as HAKUNA-MATATA (no worries) ATTITUDE is best thing to blow others’ mind, especially of those who want you to not be flourishing.
Share the problems only with those who really cared.
Change it; if it is not satisfying the logic.
Admit it; if it can not be changed. And admit with an open heart and an open mind and do it happily as this is the only thing to do.
It easy to act as if being an open minded and difficult to be an open minded, do not lose the courage as it is not impossible.
Respect yourself, your family and your friends.
Do accept people in the way they are, it is most excellent way to get best out of them.
Admire your friends and be honest with them, as it is one of Almighty ways to take care of us.
When my friend needs me, I just love to be ‘ME’, do not pretend to be some super hero because he loves me just in way I am.
If want to be a friend, at very first be a very good listener.
If do not have enough patience to listen EVERYTHING, do not claim to be a friend.
Everyday, look good and feel fine because we do not know when we are left only with our self to hug and cry.
We can have a check on what to see but can not make a check list of what to feel as closing eyes is possible but closing heart is not.
Do not regret anything, everything is a lesson it happens to make me a better person.
P.S. In my little knowledge this piece of writing is best in all my work and this is dedicated to my ‘Best Friend’.
Spinning Wheel is ruling over the Crescent

Just have an eye around; people are so distracted that the entertainment is more becoming a hunger than just a past-time. People want to be entertained even at the cost of their religion, values, ethics, culture and country. In the society we are living the main source of entertainment is Indian Media: Indian movies, Indian dramas, and Indian songs. Be aware of the fact that how badly it portraits Islam, Muslims and Pakistan, we are giving business to them. Isn’t it like we are paying for being insulted?
Where the dignity, culture, ethics and religion gone when people put on posters of actress wearing mini-skirts just to market the cinema’s latest show – a movie just released on the other side of border. In the lust of entertainment are we becoming shame-proof? That we are demanding more and more of such supplies which are insulting and getting the wrong impression about our believes and humiliating our values.
Agreed! Completely agreed with the argument that our film industry is lacking behind in the quality of movies. But, is the movies only source of entertainment or the Indian media is only entertainment provider? We have a very good and well establish television industry which aired better quality stuff as compare to the material coming from that side of border.
Isn’t it feels heartbreaking that a kid studying in pre-school or primary school knows nothing about august 14, March 23, Shawal 1 or Rabi –ul- Awwal 12, but know each and everything about January 26, Diwali and Holi, Not know the name of founder of Pakistan but have knowledge about ever idol lord. What we are teaching to our youth? These are not our values.
Our forefathers have fought for more than a century to let the world know that we – the Muslims – have an identity of our own. We have our own ethical values we have our own believes. This identity is not supposed to be lost that easily. Do not let anyone take over your identity. Do not let other values to forget your own. Don’t let the ache for entertainment take over your ethical values.

Econo-Lovely Candle Light Dinner

Candle light dinner, consider as most romantic idea to have twilight with the one you love. That is a past now that you have a pay a big amount to have a romantic diner or you have to drive more than an hour to reach that restaurant. Now, all you have to do is just cook your favourite food, set the table and the lights will be turned off exactly on the time of time dinner. Power supply corporations even don’t let you to bother you to get up from your place to make the moment most. They also let you disappoint about the timings the of power breakdown.
We must be thankful to our power supply corporations that they made poor have a joy of candle light dinner. Although it was scorching summer nights, but they made their efforts to let poor enjoy the delightful diner which is considered only as rich’s lavishness. Where in the whole world else the this piece of land we are going to find such a ‘caring’ and ‘concerned’ ministries who believe in equals rights for all and Who made such luxuries affordable for all.
In spite of all the blame, bad remarks, protests and harsh situations they – the ministries – are on their way to keep the love alive between people in an ‘economical’ way. Hats off and thumbs up to them.
P.S. electricity bills are another issue…

This is a master piece. If you have not read it take the time to read it now. If you have read it take time to read it again! GEORGE CARLIN (His wife recently died….)
Isn’t it amazing that George Carlin – comedian of the 70’s and 80’s – could write something so very eloquent…and so very appropriate.
A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete…
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a cent.
Remember, to say, ‘I love you’ to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it.
An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
If you don’t send this to other people….Who cares?
-George Carlin

Going all the way through life and times of Mohammad Ali Jinnah, I observed that Jinnah was a very simple man. He followed straightforward principles in every walk of life. Unity, faith and discipline are the three words which made Jinnah Quaid –e- Azam. It is blueprint of success which he shared with his nation himself. Unity, Faith and Discipline is the shortest possible distance between dream and its reality.
These three words – three magical words – have success hidden in it. If we follow this we do not have to beg for any aid. We do not have to go to anyone to make Pakistan better. We all want betterment of Pakistan then why we not work for it with unity. Why we keep on combating as Sindhi, Punjabi, Baloch, Pathan and Muhajir. We all are hard workers then why we not have faith on each other. Why we just keep on blaming our fellows for any hard luck. We know what we have to do then why we not do that we discipline. Why we just keep on breaking rules and laws.
It is fruitless to blame government for everything wrong. It is our country and we have to make it better than the rest then better than the best. To craft a change we have to follow the way which Quaid showed us. We have to follow his principles to compose and rebuild Pakistan. It is three, just THREE word – Unity, Faith and Discipline.
Rise Jinnah.
RISE PAKISTAN.
With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve.

After Miandad’s six and world cup ’92, we have another success story to be told, another event to feel proud of. In ICC World Twenty20 England ’09, men in green made history at Lords by winning trophy against Sri Lanka on June 18, 2009. At the moment Pakistan was announced as the champion of the series the whole surroundings were filled with noises of firecrackers and drums, people were dancing and doing bangra on the streets and the slogan of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ was echoing in the air.
The land of Pakistan has witnessed this enthusiasm after a thick slice of time. Pakistan national cricket team has brought a trophy back home after 17 years. In the world of sports Pakistan seems on its way to recoup its glorious name and reputation which was in early 90’s.
We all know that winning is not everything but losing is not option as well. Something that matters to nation is how team played, how united team was, how team was good at forgetting all differences and playing as one for all and all for one. And history proves that every time team stayed and played united, every time team added something extraordinary in the history of cricket.
Pakistan national cricket team is a paradigm for all those who look for their career and future in cricket. Team must set examples for all the youth that Pakistan can stand only when we unite. Our nation is one of those for who cricket is not just a game; it is matter of honour and dignity. We see our players not as merely cricketers but as heroes.
After so many misfortunes, miserable incidents, accidents and blames on the pure name of Pakistan, Pakistanis see this victory as a optimism to bring back the dignity of Pakistan.
May Almighty keep the flag of my country high.

LAILA: the one thing Qais never live without.

The month my parents married, the Poet wrote his most famous narrative poem, Laila. Reconfiguring the Laila-Majnu story, the poem centres on Laila, bereft after Qais has been banished from her presence. Unable to endure the thought of a life without him, she seeks out his likeness everywhere – in other men (she is soon regarded as a town whore), in nature (sometimes the wind brushing her neck reminds her of his touch), in art (she risks her life to steal a painting, because a man at the edge of its crowd scene leans forward in a manner suggestive of the angle of Qais’s back of the first he bend to embrace her). But all her attempts to find her Beloved’s exact copy lead only to frustration, so she starts to adopt his manner of speech, his gait, his dress, his expressions in order to keep his characteristics alive. She becomes an outcast, shunned by all of her madness and, driven out of town, she makes her way into forest where Qais has been living – and walks past without seeing him. He watches her go and senses something familiar in her, but is too distracted by composing love poems about Laila to give the matter much thought. Years go by and one day, she meets a young man who greets her by the name ‘Qais’. She realized she has finally succeeded in becoming her Beloved and need never be without him again. In that moment of triumph she looks into forest pool and sees Qais’s face where her reflection should have been and remembers: the one thing Qais could never live without is Laila.

Who is guilty for cartoon issue: Denmark or we?
May 4, 2009 at 01:09 (Critical, view point)
Tags: anti-islamic activities, cartoon issue, demark, islam, islamic value, news, religion, Thoughts, Views
I strongly condemn the anti-Islamic act of Norway and Denmark. They do not have any right to do such act. But according to the freedom of expression they can write, sketch or publish anything that they want to do. But one thing is really disturbing me, who is really guilty for all that: Denmark and Norway, who had misused their rights of expression or we, who had built a mistaken image of our religion on their minds?
People understand what the see in real practice not what they told in speeches, literature and books. In real practice, we proudly say ourselves citizens of ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN, but where is Islam in this republic??? Loud music, western dresses, corruption, dishonesty, no respect for elders, no affection for younger… that’s all isn’t Islamic teachings. If we don’t have any respect for our teaching and our religion so why we expect that others will do so.
These days, the commercials and dramas and shows we see on TV, none of them airing anything Islamic from story to dialogues, from dresses to festivals and from traditions to moral values. We are keeping on copying whatever shown on the other side of border. We released, I must say proudly release their movies which shows Muslims as extremists, corrupted, terrorists, drug dealers, smugglers, suicide bombers but nobody protest against that. We do proud hanging posters in which girls wearing western clothes, mini skirts, short dresses but no one protest in front of concerned authorities to remove those things. Why don’t our leaders and ullamas and moulivis condemn that? That’s something more serious than cartoon issue. Those cartoons were made and published by non Muslim in a non Islamic country. But these all activities that I mentioned above are going on in an Islamic country.
If we want other to respect our religion and our values so I think first we must respect our religion and values. Its we who give them opportunity to do such things. It was portrait of Islam made by us which Denmark and Norway published. If we want the whole world to respect Islamic values I think we should with our homeland first. We must have to stop each and every non Islamic activity in our country. Otherwise we don’t have any right to show the finger on others.

Seasonal Enthusiasm
March 17, 2009 at 14:30 (Critical, Daily Life)
Tags: Culture, Daily Life, Life, People, Random, Reality, Thoughts, Views
Ramadan is over, eid holidays are finished and the religious attitude that we all observed during holy month of Ramadan is also vanished. During the whole month of Ramadan we lived a peaceful life… No earsplitting music in markets and streets, no vulgar dressing, no smoking, no drinking and most important no one was escaping from prayers. For a whole month we observed a pure Islamic environment.
According to new standpoints, It isn’t be wrong saying that we are Muslims only in month of Ramadan as we are Pakistani during the month of August when whole 14 days – august 1 to august 14 – we exhibit love and affection towards our dear home land and make countless promises in front of cameras. Why don’t we keep this attitude towards religion and country throughout the year? Are feeling comes with the season only? Are we not Pakistani Muslims in days except Ramadan, august 14, eid –ul- fitr, March 23, eid –ul- azha, September 06, muheram 09 & 10, December 25, rabbi –ul- awwal 12…??? What about rest of the year? Will we not be asked by Almighty about other days? We recite Holy Quran on regular basis during Ramadan, but in other days we close it, wrap it in its cover and put it on the upper shelve and its supposed to be open and recite in next Ramadan. Similarly, we decorate our streets and homes with paper flags on august 14, but what happen next morning all the paper flags are on the floor and crushing under our own shoes and none of bother to put it on a side. This is respect we have for our flag. If someone picks that up from the street and put it on side so other one stop him by saying ” it’s only a piece of paper… Sweeper will clean it and put it in trash.” This is not a piece of paper only, this is our flag our international identity. What about all that countless promises that were made on the Independence Day. We have to be Pakistani Muslims throughout our lives, not seasonally.
This seasonal enthusiasm is observed not only in religious and national matters but also in daily life style. In the start of semester we strong-willed to study every day but after a week or two we slot in ourselves in every other thing except studies. Parties and gathering seems more important than studies. Digital gadgets and mp4 players become more important than books. Computer is being started use for gaming and watching movies not for the study purposes. Internet is for searching and downloading best online game, best songs collection and top rated movies. And a common sentence that comes across ears is that ” much time is in exams… I’ll start studying very soon but right now I’ve to grace my friend’s party with my presence.” And when exams come near we start studying for whole 24hrs. At that time incapable to understand what we had studied. We’re unable to keep every topic in mind. At that time we start praying that ” Almighty please! Have some mercy on me… tomorrow’s paper will be easy… please pass me this time… next time I’ll study all through the semester with proper time table.” We all know that we have to be appear in exams at the end of semester so why we don’t study in whole semester. Only at the time of exams we get enthusiastic for study but this seasonal studying enthusiasm just clear you in exams and after exams you forget everything you learnt on the semester. Clearing in exams isn’t the only aim for studying. We study to learn something and if we don’t study on regular bases we won’t learn anything.
The situation is same when people, girls especially decide to reduce weight. Very enthusiastically a diet chart is prepared. No oil, no ghee, no chocolates, no sweets, no cakes and pastries. Only diet drinks, fresh fruits, green veggies, salads, green tea and wheat fiber biscuits. This chart is supposed to be followed. During 1 st week of this decision in any party, “sorry I can’t eat that curry… it’s so oily… I am dieting these days.” But that enthusiasm start decreasing, food and parties become more important then the idea of losing few ponds and we satisfied our soul with the statements like “there are many days in that occasion… I’ll reduce some weight after days” and “I don’t care if I have few extra ponds… I’m unable to stop myself from eating delicious food” and many other of same sort. Matter is not that we can’t do so; the thing is that we don’t have determination to do anything or to perform any task with persistence.
Another situation where seasonal enthusiasm can be seen very easily, is the time when somebody decide “I won’t lie anymore” or “I don’t gossip about others.” In beginning, we think then we talk. But after few days we talked then we realized that we lie or we did gossip about somebody. The main reason is that evil attracts so easily and we don’t have as much resistance to face that evil. We make aims, we take decisions but its WE who is first to go against our own decision and aims.
We have set our minds to perform any task in its season only. Again I repeat we don’t have determinations to achieve our aims. We don’t have persistence to follow our decisions and resist against evil wishes which force us to give up. We have to respect our own religion, country, decisions, feelings and aims.
I know everyone is not alike; there are many people who have persistence. But this is democracy… here only majority is counted!!!
The “K” Mantra
March 17, 2009 at 14:23 (Critical, Indian Entertainment)
Tags: daily soaps, entertainment, Indian Entertainment, K, star plus, TV
These days the highlight of every woman in the house, for the day, is the chain of drama serials, aired on Star Plus every night. Now, the question is, “Why do some women religiously follow those stories when they’re not even remotely compatible or reflective of their society and certainly, don’t pertain to reality?” For instance, take those ever-so-ostentatious-cum-iame ‘saas and bahus’. Do women actually walked around their houses wearing expensive designer saris, lavish jewelry and impeccable make-up? Who is in the world wear make-up and jewelry whilst sleeping?
Secondly, all those characters HAVE to be immortal. I mean, it is mandatory, I repeat mandatory for a dead person to be ‘magically resurrected’. After shedding tears of grief over the demise of a beloved character, we are suddenly surprise by their graceful come back! If it was a road accident, then the victim had just jumped out of the car in time, before it fell into a blind abyss. Or, my favorite – he was rescued by some passer-by who took him to a hospital and because his face was utterly destroyed by shards of the windscreen, the doctor performed the ultimate in dermatological medicine – facial restoration surgery. Now, this plastic surgery not only altered his facial features, but also his height, voice, eye color and the physique. So why go for an unknown person’s body when you can transform, or rather, metamorphose into Tom Cruise or Cindy Crawford?
Another impractical aspect of these soap operas is that the house-holds shown in most of these serial are filthy – rich and highly pretentious. We come across palatial mansions, luxurious cars, larger-than-life business deals and fiscal matters of not less than millions. I say, if these serials are watched by a population in which people are below or barely approaching the poverty line, then shouldn’t their issues be addressed? Won’t it be easier for viewers to relate them?
And now above all, the length of these serials! Some of these serials have actually exceeded a thousand episodes! The extent to which the story is exaggerated and stretched is ludicrous, not to mention that the same things have been repeated that we are actually predict the next scene. Nobody’s life has so many predicaments! Lengthy emotional moments accompanied by those irritating advertisement breaks result in monotony and boredom. Yet some people cannot get enough of them.
Yes, so, I have blabbered long enough about these soaps operas, which DOES go to prove that I WAS a regular viewer of such serials at one point. But that was way back when they were new, amazing and interesting did enjoy the story lines and the Indian glitch and glamour, but I’ve grown out of it. Thanks to excess of their idiocy. These serials simply give me bouts of laughter or a reason to criticize the overrated Indian entertainment industry. Whilst it goes on corrupting our youth by indirectly imposing their culture on us, it’s a very vital method of wasting one’s time. These serials have certainly made me learn one thing ‘there is a very thin line between heroism and humor’. You never know when you cross it.

Take a look at my Facebook page, aren’t I gorgeous, glamorous and succeessful?
FACEBOOK, THE ONLINE networking phenomenon, has 100,000 million users with pages full of photos and updates on its users’ latest endeavours. But these pages can reveal more than first thought – it can expose narcissists. Researchers at the University of Georgia asked untrained observers to look at the pages of 130 Facebook users. Glamorous self-portraits, long lists of friends and self promoting “walls” comments all indicated an unhealthy level of vanity. Study author Keith Campbell says, “Narcissists are using Facebook the same way they use their other relationships: for self- promotion, with an emphasis on the quantity over quality“

The Dark Fringe of Modernism

Tags: dark side, Modernism
Today, we proudly say we are getting MODERNISE day by day. Are we really getting modernized or becoming a Xerox which has no color of its own. These days, it really makes me sorry when I heard people speak of eid as an obligation, when they have to get together with relatives and dress up for nothing. But these very people fervently waiting for New Year parties, where they will have opportunity to have fun and be themselves. So this is what the modern perception is – eid is mind-numbing
and New Year is fun! How can a country that does not have any respect for its traditions and values be successful? Everywhere around the world, Holy days are celebrated with much reverence and given adequate respect, why then can’t we?
Beyond any doubt the culture of Islam is one of glorious cultures in the world and east has many shining colors of its own. Luckily we are blessed with both being a citizen of an Eastern Muslim country – Islamic Republic of Pakistan – but unfortunately we have forgotten our values and blindly copying the west. If we want to be successful so we have to respects our values and culture and tradition.
