Seven years into the war!

Seven years into the war, Seven years are long enough! Long enough to finish seven generations, Long hard sleepless nights, please someone hear my sighs! Long enough to go deaf, with all the noise we've heard all our lives, Seven years are long enough, Long enough to realise, who we are and with whom we fight! Long enough between those cries, that haven't been answered by any allies! Look into those innocent eyes, what have they done to deserve this demise. They took my parents away from me, And now I pray for their ease! Seven years away from peace, now we think this is our life! Oh dear God! Hear my plea, I wish no harm, Just save me!

Impact of modernization on Pakistani society

Modernization is defined as a synonym for westernization. As the media have boomed in Pakistan the westernization process have increased drastically. But before the strong emergence of media the seed of  modernization was ploughed by the British rule in subcontinent. The changes that took place in subcontinent many years ago still exists are growing stronger and stronger everyday due to the need to be like the developed countries. Aspects of pakistani society that have been effected by modernization: 1) Occupation and advancements in occupation. 2) Government system 3) Culture 4) Status of women 5) Infrastructures 6) Media advancement Occupation and advancements in occupation: It is known worldwide that Pakistani society is predominantly an agricultural society. But with the modernization this occupation has evolved. This is the result in advancement in techniques of cultivation which were started by western countries to enhance the growth of crops and to create new spec...

White backed Vultures - wiping out! What’s next?

White backed vultures scientifically known as Gyps africanus were commonly seen in Pakistani skies are now on the edge of extinction. They are known as white backed because of the ash white marking on their back with a long pink bald neck and head along with a powerful beak. They can grow up to 10 meters tall and their wingspan is 180 to 210 cm wide and can weigh up to 7 kilos. These magnificent birds feed on the carcasses of dead animals hence proven as the cheapest way to keep the environment clean.  “Vultures are ecologically important because they consume dead animals and clean the environment.”- World wildlife fund (WWF) In some cultures like Tibetan Buddhist they feed their dead to these birds because they believe that when the spirit is gone there is no need to preserve the body and the body should go back to the nature it is known as “sky burial”.  In Pakistan these birds used to roam the skies but since 1990 there has been a decline in their number, mostl...

"Share and care" session

Yesterday I asked you guys to email me your problems that you want to share with me and my readers and I will share your problem with possible unbiased solutions in my blogs without mentioning your real name. Last night, I received an email from "A". "A" told me that he is a student of 10th grade and he is suffering from a kidney failure and he have to have dialyses every other day which is affecting his education and his co-curricular activities. He isn't able to take part in any of his favourite sports and he gets frustrated when he sees his friends doing all the "cool" stuff and it is also messing with his grades really badly. Dear A, first of all I would like to tell you that you are a real hero for continuing your studies with how your health is and I will pray to God for you good health and I request all my readers to pray for A's good health as well. 2ndly I don't recommend people to play video games but I think you should start playi...

Why measure success in coins?

People laugh behind my back at my work thinking my work is useless because I am not earning anything from it. Why would you put your efforts in something that can't pay your bills. Right? That's what I thought for a second when someone told me about someone laughing at our blogs. When this world was blessed with early civilizations were there any programmers or archeologists or neurosurgeon or TV hosts? These professions are created because someone was interested in playing with different chemicals, mixing them and then there were people who called them idiots and useless because they were not earning anything from what they were doing. They created these amazing technologies and techniques by which we can further create more things. In my opinion people who call other people's interests and passions useless and measure their goals in money are the descendants of the same people who called all the inventors and discoverers/explorers idiot and useless. Does anyone know or r...

The other side of mirror.

My mother sitting on a couch talking about her day and here I am busy in the world that doesn't exist in reality. What is reality? Honestly, I don't even know that anymore. We have created an alter ego online that is shouting its lungs out about how insecure we are about ourselves and how unstable our relations have become with the real world! Who are we? What is the purpose of our existence? What is our value in this endless universe? My answer would be "we are here to serve a greater purpose then publishing our lives online". Some of you might ask " what is that greater purpose?" To that I will say "the greatest purpose of our existence is to be humans not characters of some stimulation game". Humans are the most advance and civilized mammals, who are in a constant need of emotional support, love, care and protection of each other and they have a constant hunger for knowledge. So happened why have we stopped caring about each other? Where is...

A new stranger

Today, as I was fighting over a facebook post with a stranger, a message pop-up. Bing! A new friend on Facebook was waving at me. I started the debate about how badly the people of my country are in need of good education. Since they are accusing ghosts and magic for every unusual event. He just asked me what I was doing to create awareness. I told him I was shaking everyone's minds to wake them up but I wasn't doing enough because I am afraid that people will accuse me of not being loyal to my religion (in my country it is a matter of life and death) and a mob of illiterate people will kill me and I don't want to get killed by illiterate people. If people have to kill me then they should form a mob of philosophers. As I was jokingly telling him all that he began to tell me the deepest parts of his life (which i really appreciate him as it have changed me as a person). I have promised him that I won't spill his secret so I am not going to do that but I will say that th...
