Killings HALAAL , VALETINE’S Day HARAAM Our Religious organizations are the one who desperately waits for February. Since February started, Billboards of Karachi were occupied by Red heart shape Balloons, Red roses, Chocolates’, teddy bears, hotel menus etc, but a different thing I have witnessed this year and that was billboards and trucks advertisement by a Religious Organization against Valentine’s Day Celebration. Even on 14th night, I have seen many MOLVI HAZRAAT standing in front of Dolmen City Mall (Clifton) with long banners, distributing handbills which were discouraging valentine’s day. Although there protest was very silent & Peaceful, neither they were disturbing any traffic nor anyone’s privacy as well BUT why they were protesting? Is it really creating Mess?? I don’t think so! I am not Justifying Valentine’s day, For me 14th February was a regular day as I never celebrated mother’s day, Father’s Day, Friendship Day & of course Valentine’s Day. T...

Where is Government of Baluchistan ?? Aslam Raisani , Your children’s should die like this as our Died in Blasts. Then you will realize what exactly pain is # ShiaGenocide ! Above was a tweets which I read last night on twitter written by a girl belongs from HAZARA community whose family members died in twin blasts of 10 January 2013, Quetta. After reading this, I follow news regarding Quetta blasts, and then I get to know more than 116 people died in that twin blast & many were injured. Quetta’s condition isn’t good since last 15 years, but in current government tenure, bloodshed reached at its peak. It’s because of our incompetent government of Baluchistan as well as federal too. In such condition, head of the province that is chief minister Baluchistan Aslam Raisani is not present in Pakistan. He is on visit to London & Dubai & we all know why he is there. This shows the least concern of head of the province! Zulfikar Ali Magsi , Governor Baluchis...

Remembering 16 December 1971 Most of my friends don’t know about 16 December and its importance. I personally think that it’s because of our biased course books of Pakistan studies which we are forced to study in our schools & colleges. Our 9 th grade Pakistan studies book got 10 pages and 24 headings on Kashmir issue, but 5 lines paragraph on war of 1971 & not even a single heading of separation of East wing! This is what I called BIASED. Why we are not teaching our children’s truth? Why we are hiding our mistakes? Ohhh… May be the reason is our great ARMY was involved in this whole scenario. Reason for remembering 16 th December is may be my mother, who used to tell us about it, as members of our family have suffered from this incident. Blaming anyone after 41 years is completely foolishness. But remembering our mistakes and commitment not to make it again is necessary. BUT unfortunately neither we remember it NOR did we are committed not to make these mist...

ASIAN UNION The European Union (EU) is an economic and political union of 27 member states which are located primarily in Europe. The European Union is composed of 27 sovereign member states: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.  Above treaty was signed in 1958 and since, these countries are together for progress and betterment of their people. But what’s happening in South Asia? After 1947 Partition, we have divided everything. It was a division of land but we make it division of people, Division of assets, division of blood, Division of everything. I am not against the partition, but whatever happened after it and happening still, I am against it. Separation must be the need of that time, but no one wants these barriers.  I am t...

SAYC 2012 – Train Journey (From Karachi – Lahore –Islamabad) Our journey for SAYC2012 started on 2 nd November 2012, 6:00am in the morning.

My parent’s dropped me to Cant station at 5:45, where everyone was present except Priyanka. Anas, as usual was calling Priyanka again and again ...

Who Will SAVE KARACHI ? In last 9 months, more than 1800 people died in TARGET KILLING. Congratulations to the Government of SINDH/PAKISTAN & of course highest stake holders of Karachi. Yes We Karachittes are born to shot dead by bullets. Daily our city contributed to this government by giving 6-10 lives. BUT WHO CARES? All stake holders of KARACHI are busy in Compromises. Saddest part is Karachi is the business hub of Pakistan. And they all are destroying it by destabilizing it through worst LAW & ORDER! My parent’s & grandparent always discuss Peaceful Karachi Era (which sometimes sounds DREAM) i.e. early 50- late 80’s. Then unfortunately Zia-ul-Haq gifts us Extremists, from which we are still trying to get rid of. Pakistan is the country where neither SALALA check post, PAF Airbases are safe nor important figures like Benazir Bhutto, Malala (From MALALA to SALALA, no one is SAFE). So how can we expect that a local citizen like me is safe and sound?  Ju...
