Crisis Management

October 30, 2006

I have been to Karachi for Eid. I found that most of the peple were affraid of dangue virus. I was informed that at Agha Khan Hospital (one of the most prestagious institue of Paksitan) displayed a card in Emergency Ward that no beds are available. When one of my friends visited AKH, he saw approximately 75 people hit by the same virus. I beleive it is the same in all Hospitals in Karachi. Now my question is: when we, as a Pakistani nation, will be able to cope this type of situation? why we cant have special arrangements in Hospitals? and why we can not prepare a crisis management plans? The answers may be: we are not serious? we have no resources? or we have not much fundings? etc …. i believe its all shit, instead its only because we are not faithful with our country and we dont care about the human life..isnt it?

Kia Khoya Kia Paya (What we have achieved and What we have lost)

October 8, 2006

Its been exactly a year …. It was Ramadan, almost the same time when I reached home (I was home alone then) turned on my Television and found that Sonia Khan appealing for the Kafan for the dead bodies in Kashmir due to earthquake, the catastrophe happened in October last year. I felt terrible then, my eyes were full of tears, pain in the heart, mind was shut, all around was too dark and suffocation. I started writing so many things about the incidents with full sympathies to those who lost their loved ones, fie upon those who were taking advantage of that terrible accident, collecting money in the office for them, talking about Pakistani-ism, the courage of youth, their unity and discipline and the willingness to do something good for Pakistan, promising each other that this is not finished – we have to work hard to settling the displaced person and help them to re-build their lives. I hope you all did the same thing……but what happened then, where we lost and why we lost our commitment, our unity, and our willingness. How many of us, really, have done something – forget about doing something, how many of us have really thought about them while we were dining out, planning for the foreign trip, thinking about new car, new job, new clothes, etc. ‘WE’ never thought as ‘WE’, I guess its all about ‘me’ , ‘me’, and ‘me’.

I have to admit that I really have done nothing after that emotional period (around may by 2 months), not even thought of spending some amount of my money or time for them. Why we have lost our path, our Pakistani-ism, our positive thinking, approach, and attitudes toward the re-building of the nation? I have no answer….. do you have?

Farz Karo …..

September 30, 2006

My Lates Nazam for your comments:

Farz karo yeh saree nazmain saree ghazlain
Jhoot hoteen, afsanay hotay
Farz karo woh saree batain, saray waday
Jhoot hotay aur dhokay hotay
Farz karo woh chandnee ratain, shabname subhain,
Jo hum nay saath beeta-ay thay
Bas faqat samjhota hotay
Farz karo baylay key lareeaan, choree key kareean
Bay rang hoteen bay saaz hoteen
Aur farz karo k hum dono….. ‘hum’ na hotay
May aur tum hotay
Aur farz karo-yeh phool, hawa, barish aur titlee
Bas mehaz istay-ary hotay
Farz karo piyar, mohabbat waday wafa sub
Khawahishon k raylay hotay
Farz karo woh saree nibah kay payma-an
Mattee k gharonday hotay
Aur had-day nigah dil key gahraion k paas paas -farz karo koee na hota
Na may, na tum, na hum
Sirf gumnaam hawa ka jhonka hota, raat hotee aur bay-bas see aik khawahish hotee
Meree soch to is say agay ab ataknay lagtee hay
Magar meree jaan
Sach batao, k agar yeh sab such hota
To tum ko yeh sab kaisa lagta?

Aik Khalish …….

September 25, 2006

Kuch dam ghutnay say martay hain
Kuch khush ho ho kay martay hain
Apnee apnee qismat hay kuch bay wajah he martay hain
May to shayad khuch he hoon
Phir bhee kiyon mabhoos sa hoon
Ay kaash yeh ramz may jaan layta k
Zindagee kay mo-am-may may zindagee ka hal bhee hay.

First Birthday of my Blog

August 31, 2006
I have completed my first-year of blogging. It’s been a year now and, honestly speaking, it was so quick. I really learned a lot from the blogging. The important thing during the last year while blogging, I realized that all Pakistani youth, irrespective of where they live and what they do, are very much patriotic, cultured, and religious. They know their cultural and religious limitations. They are bold enough to accept their mistakes or wrong doings in public and brave enough to let other people know their mistakes and wrong doings. They always stand together at the time of crisis (we have experienced unity during the catastrophe (earthquick) in Pakistan last October). They share their feelings, happiness, sorrows, problems, pains, etc with their generation and the generations before them. They all are very intellectuals, sensitive, courageous, fearless, passionate, and lively. I am proud all of you my Friends.

During the last year of my blogging, I did have a chance to post some of my poems (which I think no one can take a risk to publish …lol), which was very well appreciated and received by all of you. I thank you all. My nazam ‘May chota sa aik bacha hoon” was published and featured in few blogs.

I started writing blog, exactly a year before, after Absar has explained me about the blogging and insisted to have my own blog. My first post was about writing the blog. At that time I was not sure if I could continue with this stuff, but as the time passes I felt like I am addicted to this blog world. One can easily feel my addiction by knowing that even after spending a long hectic day in the office I always visit some blogs and try to update mine. The relation I developed with the blog is extremely fabulous and I enjoyed every bit of it.

My achievements during last year is as follows:

professionally, I got promotion and salary increment;
personally, I got married;
bloggly, I made friends and well wishers.

During the last year of my life, I come to know few guys listed on my blog. Few comments about them (alphabetically arranged) are as follows with the disclaimer that I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings by putting my observation about my new blog friends. These are just the feelings I gathered by reading their blogs. In real life they may be totally different personalities:

Absar : Always there with me when I need a shoulder. He is always there to share my feelings, my happiness, and sorrows. What can I say about him, he is just the dearest. He is very talented, intelligent, sensitive, innocent, enthusiastic and energetic (at times), and above all a complete iMac (Apple) freak. He knows the art of writing the feelings on paper by using the appropriate words.

Aks : I always enjoy reading her blog. I don’t know why, but I feel that she thinks like me who rarely show the emotions specially the sad ones. She seems very composed, controlled, sensitive and respective.

Fahad : Portraying good image of Pakistan and Islam thru his blog.

Green Head : I admire his style of expression. Most of his posts give me a refreshing feeling. He is very witty and at the same time a very keen observer of life. He has the ability of putting his thoughts, expressions, experiences and feelings in writing very well. I always appreciate his comments on my blog. Seems little dis-hearted at times though.

Khawab : Very bold, energetic, sensitive, and enthusiastic. I always feel that her posts have some kind of a hidden message, the message that has some important meanings in it. Sometimes I feel that she wants to write so much but fail to arrange her thoughts or cant find appropriate words to express her feelings.

Naqi : I like his style of expressing himself. I think he is very romantic and living in the fantasy world (most of the time)

Raheel : May chota sa aik baccha hoon par kaam karoon ga baray baray … this is the feeling I always have for Raheel. He notices the things happening around us in deep detail, which probably no one of us might note. I think he is very much expressive, kinda bold, innocent, friendly, energetic, and party type of boy yet very sensitive. He loves tagging people * wink *.

Few Statistics about my Blog:
