Principle

My teacher wrote the article Election Replay and a point from it struck me peculiar. source " Throughout the past, almost every major contestant has been resorting to some show of force for intimidating their opponents during the elections. Since everybody was involved, it was very easy to blame the political culture of the country and to say  that a nation like Pakistan could not have true democracy; that this is the best which we can get.This sentiment has been reflected in the life and work of those intellectuals who have been supporting various political leaders as champions of democracy without asking those leaders to refrain from un-democratic measures for seizing and holding power." So I was thinking that what made those people think that the nation i.e. we are worthy of such lowly practice and I drew two conclusions: I think, we the nation led them to believe that by behaving in this particular manner. You may call it my naivete that those intellectuals...

Quetta-The Little London Of Pakistan

I am not sure from where to start. I am having difficulty with coherency as all this blood, hate, apathy is weighing my heart down and down and I am afraid my words will not be enough to carry the ache of the population of Quetta who have been mourning for their dead for so long. Bomb blast site-Quetta mourners with their dead in front of Quetta press club There have been six bomb blasts in Quetta in single day who left around 102 people dead. Imagine six blasts in one day. Mourners didn't bury their dead and protested in front of press club in Quetta, with their dead bodies, asking for army control in province. Quetta's minister has been in Dubai with his family and he was on a transit flight to Frankfurt. Today. The chaos is all over Pakistan and our Political leaders are busy with their own (filthy) tricks of politics. And us, people around Pakistan are also apathetic to the situation in country to some extent. We just sit behind our screens and write some lines...

Right

"God", says Allama Iqbal, "is the birthright of every human being." He further states that there is fear in nature and man must be liberated from fear and thus become conscious of himself or herself since there's no mediator. ( Islam as Moral and Political Ideal ) In another* place he states, Tauheed is the manifestation of solidarity, equality and freedom.  Now think about what if each human being on this planet starts exercising this right.   * Our online course, Wisdom of Moses, explains this principle quite beautifully. you can also check this principle here  and here .

Aman ki Asha? Think Again.

The stadium was filled with blue. (India's cricket uniform is blue). Commentators were saying how they can't find the single green among this 'sea' of blue. (Obviously, who would have wanted to be burned alive by those biased people). Mum commented during the match that Pakistanis weren't granted the visas for today's match. We couldn't believe it. She said it's in today's paper. (The 'paper' who is the biggest trumpet for Pak-Ind friendship) and we were furious for India's hypocrisy, yet again. This is no hate post, I am hurt the way they treat us. It's unfair. and our representatives, who runs to them like a dog, who goes to it's master when called, wagging it's tail and gets kicked instead of being thrown a bone to him. I just want to show the real face of those who talk about 'Aman ki Asha', on both sides. This idea infuriates me from the very beginning. This hypocritical idea of Aman ki asha between India and Pak...

Pen or Sword

They are right; pen is mightier than sword. Sword kills you at once, a momentary pain. Pen is another story, if it comes on to dig you deep and injecting venom into your veins than nothing can surpass it. You bleed out,  cutting yourself to take it out of your system but it keeps on killing you. Those words gives you an unspeakable grief, you cannot help but cry. And that's what I did. His words, his gall to offend my country made me cry. I had never thought that somebody would be so driven, audacious to really work to poison their readers. His words were plain hate for Pakistan. They were screaming out to their readers to give up on Pakistan, it's useless. I cannot copy his article here. No, just by thinking about it makes me angry and sad. People are always insulting Pakistan all the time. I don't understand them at all. How dare they speak evil of the thing I love the most. The most precious that ever happened to Muslims after a long time. A gift from Divine. A Reality....
