The Reflection of Industrialization on Our Society

By Nisar Ahmad
Urbanization , industrialization, development of corporate sector and the decline of basic human and cultural values.

Today my father friend's mother departed in Islamabad (Capital of Pakistan ). I went for condolence and found that after the funeral prayers , very few people went to grave yard. When burial done, proportionally few people returned to the deceased home.

It was a short function of departure while in village things are totally different, here every person who come to know about a death of some one , they will postpone all other daily routine functions and will rush to participate in death ceremony. As they believe that it is the last service that one can do for some one in this world.  The condolence continue for three days and at least one person from each home in the village is bound to meet the deceased family and share the grief with them.
In this way they think that the grief caused by losing of human being  can be minimized .

In addition,  another aspect of this is , that it a test of the community , that how connected they are ...
However   , It is the output of corporate culture that is vanishing our cultural values and customs very badly.

One thing that is worth to mention that , still we are happy to say that we are living in a global village where no one has time to take care of wounded heart.

The Afghan War & its Stack-holder

It is widely assumed that when Russia attacked Afghanistan in the 1980s. The Afghan government at the time did not oppose the attack, despite the fact that the general public (common civilians) who had ideological differences with Russia and communism came forward and began defence to protect their land from communist invasion. Later, when Pakistan and the United States recognised that this force (the Afghan Mujahiddin) was fighting Russia's aggression with very limited resources, they began to provide resources to them. However, because they were already at odds, the United States played a critical role in defeating Russia in Afghanistan. After the victory, the Afghan fighter leaders wanted to establish a peaceful government, but the US was not interested in the peace process and began a political intervention to disperse the Afghan leaders, which they accomplished with the assistance of the CIA. However, at the time, Pakistan went against the secret agenda of the United

My 3rd Visit to Karachi ✈️

After 12 years, for the 3rd time, I visited Karachi (mini-Pakistan) for 3 days. This time travelling was light through air, I felt that I just travelled from one village to another, but the big difference was the temperature. I was waring winter stuff in Islamabad while in Karachi I felt that it is summer, fan was on, and the temperature was in between 24 to 27 °C 🥵 while in Islamabad it was in between 10 to 17 °C. When I boarded the plane from Islamabad Airport, I had strange vibrations of sensations running inside me. I was dying to see the mini-Pakistan and the sea. Some apprehensions were there at the back of mind regarding the law-and-order situation there and the stories appearing in the papers. I had heard so much about Karachi culture that I was getting almost dizzy in anticipation. I was honoured to have a city like this in my country. “Kharachi, Kharachi, Kharachi I am coming”, .....this was what I was humming. As the plane was hovering above Karachi airport to land, I was

Rewinding Memories

Being a final year student when I move back to the glorious past I realize that the world is moving so fast that who ever stops will be crushed in the race of survival. I can not forget the magnificent four years I spent at DCS that filled my life with precious experience and the exciting moments with friends, the way I learnt and experienced, the way the university polished me and enabled me to face the challenging times. My time is almost over here but the splendid image of these golden moments will remain captured in my memories. Hail “Home Sweet Home” but hostel life has its own charm. The greatest blessing there is independence. Unlike home we did what we wanted, hanging out with friends, sharing and caring for each other, plowing through exams, pulling on all-nighters. They’re such fun memories but there were also the cons of distance from loved ones, managing all affairs on my own, cooking and washing and what not, but overall I really enjoyed that sort of life. I joined
