A comfort in solitude

Image
  There are some special and unique people who find comfort in their rooms instead of leaving the house.  When they go somewhere, they miss their favorite solitude. These are the people who have few close friends and rarely interact with anyone.  Their phones are always on silent, they don't wait for anyone's call or message These are the people who open Facebook every day without talking to anyone.  They are selective in their passions, love books, sea, desert, winter and peace.  Darkness and solitude are intoxicating to them. کچھ خاص اور منفرد لوگ ایسے ہوتے ہیں جو گھر سے نکلنے کے بجائے اپنے کمروں میں ہی سکون پاتے ہیں۔ جب وہ کہیں جاتے ہیں، تو اپنی پسندیدہ تنہائی کو یاد کرتے ہیں۔ یہ وہ لوگ ہیں جن کے چند ہی قریبی دوست ہوتے ہیں اور وہ بہت کم کسی سے رابطہ کرتے ہیں۔ ان کے فون ہمیشہ سائلنٹ پر ہوتے ہیں، نہ وہ کسی کے کال کا انتظار کرتے ہیں، نہ میسج کا یہ وہی لوگ ہیں جو ہر روز بغیر کسی سے بات کیے فیس بک کھولتے ہیں۔ وہ اپنے جذبات میں انتخابی ہوتے ہیں، کتابوں، سمندر، صحرا...

The Irony of Selective Democracy in Bangladesh

When the democratic parties in Bangladesh were banned, some liberals and nationalists celebrated. What did this mean? It showed that democracy was treated like a tool to be used only when convenient. When you face problems, you talk about democracy and constitutional rights, but if others are in trouble, you forget about democracy. When you face challenges, you start complaining. Today, when Indian agents in Bangladesh were strongly opposed, many liberals cried on social media, predicting the end of Bangladesh. Bangladesh will continue to exist, but its troubles began when liberal extremists punished opposition parties, executed their leaders, and jailed political activists. You ignored it then, but now you are aware. How ironic. جب بنگلہ دیش کی جمہوری پارٹیوں پر پابندی لگی تو یہاں اور وہاں کے لبرل و قام پرست خوشیوں کے شادیانے بجانے لگے...  اسکا مطلب کیا تھا ؟....  کہ آپ جمہوریت کو گھر کی لونڈی سمجھتے ہو..... تم بند گلی میں پھنس جاؤ تو جمہوریت اور آئینی حقوق یاد آجاتے ہیں.. کو...

The Burden of Taxes on Pakistan’s Salaried Class: A Call for Reform

 Surviving in Pakistan has become increasingly challenging for the salaried class. The government imposes taxes on nearly everything without providing essential services like security, cleanliness, healthcare, and education. People are grappling with life's uncertainties and the burden of purchasing necessities such as gas cylinders, solar power for electricity, clean drinking water, and healthcare, all while paying taxes on these items. Here are just a few of the many taxes we face: Income tax Food tax Property tax Vehicle tax Road tax Medicine tax General goods tax FBR tax Burial tax Electricity tax, including additional charges like monthly fuel adjustment tax and Uniform tax (despite no visible uniforms) Gas tax Water tax Mobile tax Electronics tax Mobile balance and package tax What’s next? A tax on breathing? 🤣 Are there other taxes being imposed that I haven’t mentioned? #TaxReform #Pakistan #EconomicChallenges #PublicServices #Healthcare #Education #CleanWater #Electricity...

Ismail Hania and the Hypocrisy of communist in Pakistan

Image
 No nationalist acknowledged the funeral of Ismail Hania or expressed regret on social media. This suggests that if you don't belong to certain communal groups, you're not considered #Pakhtun or even human. Communists, who often describe themselves as comrades, typically honor only their own group’s martyrs. They show little concern for other oppressed people around the world. For the first time, Qamparast performed a funeral prayer for #Gila_Man in absentia; in fact, some prayed with his picture in front of them—a practice condemned by Islamic scholars. However, the Qamparast found this criticism unacceptable, despite it being a Sharia issue. It is important to note that the humanistic rhetoric of Qamparast comrades is deceptive. For instance, Rehan_Zeib_Khan, who was also a Pakhtun, did not receive any support from them. They will honor Che Guevara, the Cuban communist, as a martyr, yet they refuse to recognize a non-nationalist Pakhtun as a martyr in his own country. This hy...

The Real Danger of Misguided Nationalism

Image
Every country has its own culture, language, and values. Teaching these to children is important to many people. However, recently, some individuals have been using nationalism to push their own agendas. In Pakistan, there are efforts to promote ideologies like communism, liberalism, and sometimes atheism, which can be perceived as harmful to the essence of Islam. In certain areas, some nationalists advocate for education in the mother tongue, such as Pashto, and for adherence to their version of Pashto culture. They use nationalism to push ideas like secularism and communism. Similar patterns are seen with Baloch nationalists. What is a True Nationalist? So, who is a true nationalist? A true nationalist should care about their fellow countrymen. Unfortunately, some of our nationalists view Russians as friends while considering fellow Pashtuns with differing opinions as enemies. This kind of nationalism is very harmful. Understanding "Comrade" For those unfamiliar with the te...

Unity Beyond Nationalism: Advocating for Provincial Rights in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

In today's politically charged climate, it's essential to focus on the core issues that affect our communities. One such issue is the fair distribution of resources and rights within our provinces. In the context of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), this means rising above divisive ideologies and uniting for the collective good. The Mosaic of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is not a monolithic region; it is a vibrant mosaic of diverse cultures and languages. This diversity is one of its greatest strengths, but it also presents unique challenges. Peshawar and Kohat : These areas are home to Hindko speakers, who have their distinct linguistic and cultural identity. Chitral : Here, Chitrali is spoken, and many residents do not know Pashto. Kandiya and Battagram : The Kohistani people in these areas speak a variant of Pashto that is unique to their region. Mansehra and Abbottabad : These districts are inhabited by Awans and other ethnic groups who primarily do not speak Pashto. Gujjar...

 Net-Hydel profit is a constitutional right of the people of KP, denied by the Federal Government, amounting to Billions. Only once in history has KP negotiated successfully during MMA government and increased the annual hydal profit to 27 billion per year. Though the Central government headed by Musharraf didn’t allow disbursement of the said amount to KP govt during MMA government the same was disbursed to ANP led government in KP in her 2nd year of govt. ANP got some 110 billion which paved a good way for her mass corruption in mega projects including the public sector universities in the province, where they hired most of the staff from ANP without any merit.  It is worth-noting that the person who plead the case of the people of KP was Prof. Khurshid Ahmad, a non-pashtun and Muhajir from Karachi.  ANP ruled the province for a whole tenure and it was one of the very rare times that a provincial govt in KP was ally with the central government. Yet she couldn’t negotiat...

The magic a book do with you !

Image
Some people ask that they study but do not remember anything!  So what is the benefit of studying?  Reply:-  Sheikh Salman Al-Awda writes in his book "Zanzana" that once I complained to my Sheikh that I read a book, but I don't remember anything about it!  So he gave me a date and said:  Chew it!  Then asked me:  Are you grown up now?  I said: No!  He said: But this date got mixed in your body, so some part of it became flesh, some bone, some back, some skin, some hair, some nails and pores etc.!! Then I realized that whatever book I read, it gets divided.  So part of it strengthens my vocabulary, part of it increases my knowledge, part of it improves my morals, part of it improves my writing and speaking style, even though I can't feel it!!  Tufail Ahmad Misbahi

I just came to know 😜

Do you know that out of the 783 million people in the world, almost half, i.e. 360 people, do not have the facility to defecate comfortably. They fulfil this natural need in fields, roadsides, streets, canals and in unknown ways. If you have a toilet available for defecating when you need it. You sit comfortably and finish , then you have the blessing of cleaning yourself with water, so thank God for it. One way to do this is to take care of cleanliness. Avoid leaving public toilets dirty or writing on their walls, and don't spend unnecessarily long periods of time in the toilet. #World_Toilet_Day  is celebrated by the United Nations on November 19. I just came to know 😜

Thanks #Donald J. Trump for blaming Pakistan about more than 33 billion dollars

Thanks  # Donald  J. Trump for blaming Pakistan about more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years. This aid was given to Pakistan to fight against terrorism in the time when Pakistan was moving toward development and welfare state. After this, Pakistan intelligence agencies started to move forward with US plan to fight against the so called terrorism and that resulted Pakistan a security state itself...  :) Any way its a good notion , that our gov should thin k about its policies and an audit should be made that where this money was spent with out the consent of Public and parliament. Now we all are understood that it wasn't our war rather we faught a US war and Pakistan has been used as a tissue paper. یہ جنگ ہماری جنگ نہ تھی۔ At the end Pakistan increased its enemies on the cost of this US aid and Pak army popularity went down in its own public. The most interesting thing is that , we created terrorist by using fundamental minds of a society and th...

Students' Union : a way not a destination

Image
Once Upon a time there was a Students Union # Students_Union_today_tomorrow_And_Yesterday It’s been 35 years completed on students' union ban in Pakistan. Today if you ask a 25-year-old student about students ‘union, he will get astonished and will stare you in the face because he has never saw such a thing in his whole life. He did not know about, that there were elections to held regularly in every college and university, every year, in which students had to elect their representative, and in this way a council was formed, which had its secretory and president and other designations, and this wasn’t just a council but it was like a small government of students which has to work with the establishment of the institution i.e. Head, teachers and other staff to organize co-curricular activities for students like Poetic symposium (Mushaira مشاعرہ‎), debates, discussion forums, Bait Bazi (Urdu: بیت بازی), Qirat , Naath and sport competition. Book Fairs etc., Moreover, disti...

Ashar

Image
Pashtun culture is rich and diverse, with many traditions and customs that vary across different regions and communities. Some common Pashtun cultural practices include the code of Pashtunwali, which emphasizes concepts such as honor, hospitality, and revenge, and the celebration of festivals such as Eid-ul-Fitr, Eid-ul-Adha, and Jirga. Ashar is one of the  rite in which one representative from each house in each village takes part. Ashar is organised for villagers' personal tasks that are difficult to complete individually as well as collective tasks. This tradition is unique in that these tasks are completed voluntarily and without compensation. Ashar includes the following tasks often as grass harvesting, building a new house or demolishing an old one, filling the roof of an under-construction house, and cutting woods for food if there is a wedding ceremony in the village. The number of people participating in Ashar is not fixed; rather, it is determined by the nature of th...

What ever ,but democracy , not the dictatorship

The solution to all national; and international problems mostly can be best solved via democratic tools and procedures ,which is long lasting while those solutions by army are temporary and disastrous for a nation. We as a nation failed to grow because we suffers from dictatorship and their lobbies in political sphere. These establishment lobbies are always busy to blackmail politician and get benefited in response.  Current we see that there is a big cold war going on between Army lobbies and civil government with in the country.  so, lets see who win this time.

The Afghan War & its Stack-holder

Image
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...

The Reflection of Industrialization on Our Society

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 additi...

How a looter can take care of a convoy ?

Image
Really upset by seeing that a highly corrupt person have been officially joining Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf ( a political Party ).  It's a big question on # PTI credibility ❕ .  # MustafaKar is a person , about whom many people think , the " king of Moral and financial corruption " S o, Keeping this in mind.....................  How one can bless him with such a new political boost , from a platform, who itself vows for justice , seems a clear injustice with Pakistani Nation.  I wish that the #PTI platform should not be used for the exploitation of sensible individuals. No doubt ,that  People are having confidence in I mran K han but it broke up many times when he welcome such a corrupt politician in his party, because it made people to think,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,   how a looter can take care of a convoy ?

Media & Election Campaign 2018

Mind is influenced by media , # information   technology and other dynamics. These effects are deliberate, far reaching and they need to be clearly understood after which only then can they be dealt with. In The Context Of Political Parties It is going to be necessary for a political parties, here in Pakistan to put himself in media's desired framework, which is Glamorous culture in political gathering. I_Think ,,,,,, It's bad because there should be difference b/w Concert and Political activity. Political gathering should only be used for educating people about politics and underline subject. What Will Happen ? If you adopt the media  driven policy ,what  anchor and  big bosses want .Then it will lead media to show you on screen with a very less effort, other wise you will need a big investment, to show case your political struggles. Election Is Near and obviously this is a season for media to collect more and more money from political...

🌈 One desire two countries

In 80’s it was #Russia ,having a desire to reach the warm water in Baluchistan (Gwadar), #Pakistan , to extend their business by occupying the best transportation root in the region. But the plan was very poor, ....... to attack on Afghanistan,........ then occupy some part of Pakistan. As a result both Afghanistan and Pakistan fought back with them and dismissed the Russian Plan with the help of some other countries. .....and Now its #China , wanted to reach the same warm water but they come up with a perfect plan. They extended friendship with Pakistan and established a long term relationship in every sphere , from education to politics and business to energy and soon they will utilize the Gwadar warm water to conquer the world economy by constructing the world best sea port 🚢 and a network of roads across Asia ............. which is know as #CPEC (Pakistan China Economic Corridor ) I can conclude ,that war is not solution but love is a perfect solution....

Reflection of the Triumph’s anti-Muslim Sentiments

Recently Triumph regime have putted a ban upon the citizens of seven Muslim majority countries that is Iran , Iraq , Libya, Somalia , Sudan, Yemen and Syria. As for as concerned about the restrictions being putted upon their citizens to enter USA. I would like to have few words about it.    If you revise the history of American’s Govt aggression in the past century, you will realize that it is the nature of the USA agencies (CIA) that first they target a country and start a cold war inside, then destroy its various political, economical, social and educational institutions by various means and when this process complete then they go either to use their human resources for their specific agenda (i.e. new world order) and sells weapon in the civil war or loot their resources i.e. oil and minerals.   Fortunately there we saw some countries with a good luck that rises up again (like Pakistan, Iran and Vietnam) but some or still bearing odd times under aggress...

Be a Pakistani from the heart💚

Image
Is Pakistani a person who is born in Pakistan? This is the basic question. The answer of which can define who is Pakistani.   From childhood till now, all the things that we have been hearing and reading about Pakistan can be summed up, that it’s not derived from the name of some tribe or a nation nor it is associated with some geographical location. But in fact, the word Pakistan lexically means “The land of Pure” but literally it is an ideology which prompted the creation of a country which is known as Pakistan. Ideology is a set of aim and ideas that direct one’s goal expectation and actions. This ideology is based on some Islamic concepts but here one thing to be mentioned that Islam is not just taken as a religion but it is taken in a very broad meaning as a complete system of life. It comprises the aspects of life, from personal to public and it implies to the collective life of a nation as guideline and its comprehension ends on humanity. This was the very ba...
