"Rubina Sahiba - Have had read your poem on "Margala" Hills. Perhaps due to its theme and background any greeting would not sound appropriate but needless to mention you have compiled your deep sorrow, pain and grief with your own words in amazingly good manner....However, I have concluded that this setback has changed not our lives but also the SCENE.. At least me, going fwd. I am not going to call this Waadee, 'Margala' anymore but 'Karbala'...... Regards"

قرطبہ مشاعرہ کا لنک ارسال کرنے کا شکریہ۔ آپکا وہ میناروں والا مضمون بھی پڑھا۔آپکی نئِ کتاب بھی آن لائں دیکھا، ماشا اللہ آپ بات سے بات نکالنے کا اچھا فن جانتی ہیں اور اسے بڑی خوبصورتی سے اپنے کالم کا عنوان بنا لیتی ہیں۔ آپ نے قرطبہ مشاعرہ کے کالم میں جن نکات کی طرف اشارہ کیا ہے،اس سے میں متفق ہوں۔ یعنی ہم لوگوں کوصرف مشاعرہ ہی نہیں بلکہ اپنے تمام تر پروگراموں میں، گروہ بندی اور جتھہ بندی سے نکل کراپنی زبان ،اپنی ثقافت، اپنی تہزیب اور اپنے دین و ایمان کی حفاظت کے لئے پر خلوص کوششیں کرنی ہونگی۔ تبھی جا کر ہم اپنی قوم کو قعر مزلت سے نکالنے میں کامیاب ہو سکتے ہیں۔ شاید میں آپ کو بور تو نہیں کر رہا۔ خیر پھر ملینگے اگر خدا لایا۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔۔

Dear Rubina

I've been away from the European scene for more than 4 years, and have no idea about the recent activities of Urdu-wallas. Your column on the Barcelona poetry reading was not less than an eye-opener for me. What I had seen in my 20 years of stay in Europe, was quite the opposite: an Urdu poet would not stand another Urdu poet, period .

I'm not sure how long ago this miraculous Mushaera took place because you haven't given any dates, but if it's a recent happening, then I must congratulate the organizers of this event and request them to arrange for more events like that.

I saw some of Dr. Taqi Abidi's literary research work when I was in Virginia this summer, but I have never met the gentleman personally. Your description paints him as a well groomed, courteous and honorable person with refined manners and a polished taste for poetry and literature. Please convey him my regards when you see him next.

Thanks once again for your continued contact and all the literary gems that you so generously shower upon me.

Madam,
Your write-up on Masjid-i-Qurtaba has made me feel sad.
I visited the Mosque as well as the palace and gardens of Grenada many years ago but I did not feel sad. I just thought that "we" built them and then lost them but Muslim Spain was a great phenomenon.
Two years ago, I visited Seville, the original capital of Muslim Spain. The great mosque there was converted into the grandest cathedral in the world. Among other things, it has the tomb of Christopher Columbus. The Muslims lost Seville and then made Grenada their new capital.
In a coincidence of history, just when Christian Spain conquered Cordoba and Grenada, Sultan Mohammad Fatih conquered Constantinople. The big church there was converted into a mosque. In yet another twist of history, the Turkish Republic turned Aya Sofia into a secular historic monument.
History is like a river, it changes course and there is not much you can do about it.
The number of Muslims in Europe and North America is growing steadily and that is like history changing course again.
We should look back and then look ahead.
Regards,

M Saeed Khalid

Do not be sorry or sad for qurtaba. It is part of rise and fall of civilisations. The Qura'n also states changing of people de to their deeds. Inshallah these places shall revert to that desired state that ever Muslim misses.

Dear Rubina Sahiba:

 

The Silent Calls for Prayer from the Church Steeples (Klisaoun ke darmian Khamosh Azanain) is a nicely written essay reminding us of the early Muslim history in Europe. We can reminisce the Islamic golden era of Al-Andalus for its nostalgic and historic values. When it comes to the study of history, there are always lessons to be learned or else we are condemned to relive it. While the history of Moguls in India is still so fresh in our minds, obviously we have failed to learn any lessons. Today, as you have pointed out, the people of Pakistan are re-living the economic, cultural and political circumstance which was created in India during 17th to 19th century as a precursor to the British occupation of the whole subcontinent of India. Alas, some nations refuse to learn lessons from history – and we are it.  

 

Most of the Muslim nations today are suffering in the hands of unscrupulous and deceitful, self appointed leaders. In reality, they are not leaders, they are compradors who serve foreign powers for personal, short term gains and end up creating foreign supremacy over their nations for centuries to come. The 18th century Indian history is repeating itself in today’s Pakistan. We can see the living examples of this in Pakistan, Afghanistan and the oil Sheikhdoms of the Middle East.

 

It should not have been surprising that Pope Benedict had refused to allow Muslim prayers to be held in the Cordoba Mosque, which is now a Catholic Cathedral. Times change and so do the social and cultural conditions. After all, the Cordoba Mosque was built around an old Christian Church. Today, the Muslims are not short of mosques or land to build new ones. They should be mindful of what they have to ensure they retain what they own today rather than cry for what they had lost centuries ago. As far as holding the prayers is concerned, God is omnipresent and ubiquitous, one can pray to him every where or any where. Before we complain about the Pope in connection with our claims on the Granada Mosque, we should review the behavior of our own people in Pakistan where the mosques and churches are being blown up with bombs along with the worshipers.

 

Javed

 

Dear Rubina:
 
Although I always admired the beautiful architecture and interior designs of the Mosque of Cordova, I don't think Muslims had any right to occupy Spain and colonize it for centuries. The Umayyad colonizers did not do so for the sake of Islam, but it was just an empire building process, very similar to what the British, French, Spanish and Dutch and others did in Asia, Africa and Americas and Australia. Let's not glorify Muslim occupation of Spain. It has NOTHING to do with the teachings of the Holy Quran. Let Cordova and the mosque remain Spanish property.
 
Have a wonderful day.

Allah, Haq Subhanahu wa Taala ... Requires, the Muslims, to ... "Hold fast, unto, Deen e Islam...
Not, Disintegrate, into Firqahs" ... Groups, Formed on the basis of Trivial Differences, in Ritual Practices.

Firqahs, "are" the tafreeq, meaning, Schisms, and Divisions ... in Body Islamique ... In, that the
Tafreeq ... Is in, one Muslim Group's Disagreeing; at times violently,
with the another, regarding the mode, of the Performance, of ... a Ritual !

Thus, the In-Fighting, among Muslims, on flimsy differences,
what in essence, are only "Ritualistic Differences" ... These
Ceremonial Differences, have very little to do with Islam

The "Groups based" Differences, and In-Fighting, is essentially Superficial ... hence فروعات ...
and Farooaat are Differences, in a Ceremonial Ritual's Practice.

Thus, a Firqah ... Is, the Ritual Form, of Practicing Deen e Islam... The Ritualistic Version, of Islam ...
Its sanction lies in the Fact, that, those Following a Ritual Islam ... readily Allow
Interest in their lives ... saying,
"بھائی مذہب تو انسان کا ذاتی معاملہ ہے ... سود تو دنیاداری کا اہم جز ہے، جب
وقت آیے گا دیکھا جایے گا ...

Do you suppose, it is correct, for one to declare another, a Kafir, merely on the basis of
how, one differs from the other in, say ... addressing his Creator.

I hope some other writers can draw the attention of the masses on this issue, otherwise it will continue to contaminate us more and more. with kind regards.

Dear Madam Rubina Faisal

assalam o alaikum

hope you are fine.

Actually this column of yours is written in great haste and in a time you were extremely emotional. I dont know whom you are addressing. You are just airing your anger on all sides. Yes. Me too, among scores of other muslims round the globe, do pray, do pay zakat and alms, and the like, but I don't think I am burdening someone with the load of these things as you have given a picture of yours. Molvis have done a lot bad, and they are done it in the name of Islam. This is so because they have only Islam with them to sell out. Rest are selling their commodities. Islam is ever and best sold by the molvis. But these molvis have never been so powerful unless the dogs which we have been keeping for our safety would'nt bend to serve their cause. This is the real curse. Maybe you find enough courage to jot the real and complete picture. You are excused since you cannot!! Aap hi kiya, mard e momin k bhi to bachay hotey hen, mard e mijahid bhi to pait rakhta he.... Anyway

Dear Rubina, Aap nay sirf aif fiqrey mein sari kahani keh di hay. Quran mein kiya likha hay. Hamara Mulla hamein kiya bata raha hay.

In Mazhab sab say pehlay apni maan ki god say seekh ta hay. Maa agar mazhab janti hay. Usnay Quran parh ha hay us ko samjha hay us par amal kiya hay. Issi tarah Walid ka maam la hay unhon nay yeh sab kiya hay tab 90% imkan hay keh aisay waldeen ka Bachha firqa parasty mein nahin paray ga.

Firqa agar Paanch hein to is mein koi haraj nahi hay. Yeh Jama Azhar Misr kay Manay huway hein.

Shafi Malki Hambli Hanafi Jafri

Is kay baad sari khud parasti aur apni leedri chamka nay wali batein hein.

Han agar walden paray huway nahi hein tab insan ko haq ki tallash khud karni paray gi. Beshak Ismlam deen -e- Fitrat hay. Is ka matlab hay keh har insan peda hotay waqt muslim hoga lekin bara honay par woh apnay walden ka mazhab
qubul karay ga. Lekin Quran kay mutabiq us ka farz hay keh woh haq ki talash karay.

Adam Ibrahim Musa Eisa Mohammad yeh sab Muslim thay Allah taala ;ki taraf say.
Jab insaan science parh ta hay tab usko pata chalta hay key gravity kiya hay.

Issi tarah agar Quran na parh ha aur na sam jha tab kiya pata chalay ga keh mazhab kiya hay.

تم نیں تین لوگوں کی خطوط تو چھاپ دیے ...
یہ تو بتاو تمہاری اپنی بھی کوئی را ی ہے ؟
یا صرف صحافت پرزندگی گرزانے کا ارادہ ہ ہے


بہار حال ، اب چونکی تم نیں سوالات اور جوابات بھیح ہی دیے ہیں، اور
(bey Farmayad) "بقول شخصے، یہ بات "بے فرماد"
کی زمرے میں آ جاتی ہے لہذا
میں ان سوالات اور جوابات کو، تمھارےہے سوالات اور جوابات تصّور کروں گا.
اور، جوابات، با وجوہ طوالت، انگریزی میں لکھوں گا

Because, I am not proficient in the Roman script, which, most of the times, Trans-literates, my Roman,
into a strange version of, Urdu تجوید ... And in correcting it, I have to waste a lot of time, thus, my resort to,
what I am proficient, at ... Writing on the PC, in English.
Therefore, in future, as a rule, I will be replying to all your long queries, in English.

so here goes ...

I suggest, the better way to a REQUIRED Understanding, is in your, first reducing the Subject, into its Specifics.
Meaning, if you want to Know, how the Automobile Works, you should take it apart, and study its sundry Components;
it takes time, but you learn, and are able to improvise, and make one suited to your Specs. Otherwise ... you Continue
to Associate the engineered Ashton Martin; DB 5, 6 or 9, with Hollywood's James Bonds.

Regarding the First Letter...

I think, the gentleman is under the delusion, that "عالم ا ادراک انکی ذات پر موقوف ہی" ...
Anyway, his حل , of a Red Revolution ... what here, ostensibly, implies a bloody revolution, is an
outdated concept.

Because, such was only possible, when, Pakistan's population was around 20 million, a
100 years ago, and a blood bath, was then in the Required Order, of things, done, by such, as
Communist Adventurers.
It is certainly not applicable, to the present day, Pakistan, with a population of 180 million.

Because, In a situation, where hundreds of millions of Humans are involved, a Required Change,
can only be effected, by Changing the State, of the hundreds of millions of Minds.
Hence, it means, the Change, in the Perception of Reality, by these vast numbers, and is therefore,
the Correct Solution ... not an Arain's proposed "Surkh, Inqalaab, or Salaams."

If you carefully read what I write, you will remember, that I had earlier sent you the definition of "Leadership" ...
But I will repeat it once again:

"In the Islamic Concept, Leadership Means an Accountable Responsibility"
of the Ruler ... not the bullet proof cars, public adoration and presidential palaces ... etc. etc.

That, Leaders are born ... not made, at the Harvard, or MIT like Schools, ... or at our Colleges and Universities.
What these Schools and Universities Produce, are essentially Brand Mangers.

Thus, a National Leader, cannot, and should not, be equated with, a Commercial "Brand" Manager.

Its like Mirasis, and the Hera Mandi walay, or the Lohaars or the Chamaars and the Arains, being Branded,
as the only Castes, as ones, having, the Required Qualities of Leadership ... For this is how, they are prone to Act,
think and Believe. Because, Nothing else Exists, outside, their Kouaans .

Why ? Because, the Political Form of Leadership, and Governance, is an Art Form, and it takes at least 5 Generations, in Power, to Perfect the Art ... and these Mirasis, and their Generated, do not have the Art ... But is it not foolish to equate, Singing, Tabla and Sarangi Nawazi, with Governance ... or Managing the Public Affairs, in Real Life ?
Have you noted the Symphony Orchestra like Arrangement, in our Political statements ... Be it the Brass, or the Percussion, or the Strings and Flutes ... all ... Basically Following, differently, a Performed Work, of a Composer ?

Whats wrong, in Pakistan, is, that sumandar paar kay Shylocks, and Cowboys, over the past two hundred years, have, been successful [with Free Masonry and Money] to Place, these so called, Excellent ... Grand Masters, and Covert Chamchas ... the Khan Bahadurized, Mirasis and Arains etc. at the helm of of our Political Power, and later, Calling them, your Excellencies !

Why ? Because, these Mirasis etc., and/or their First or Second or third or fourth Generations, lack the Required Mettle of Character, thus, they are easy to Manipulate ... towards the Sumandar Par Walay's Objectives, than ... the Right Mettled ones, who always refuse to sell their Zameer: conscience, or, the Watan .

But let me tell you ... I have nothing against the Mirasis etc., as human beings ... What I abhor, is their, first or Second or third Generation's, "Importing, and then Mandating, their, inferior Culture, which is unfit for the Institution, of National Leadership."

Regarding the Second Letter, referring to "Roshni ki Jhalak ... Imran Khan ... And why, it is not Reflected in his Team ...
I have to say, "That what, the gentleman from Lala Musa sees, in the Person of Imran Khan, has more to do with what he wants to Believe, than Reality."

Imran is good, as far as Cricket, and the Philanthropic Orientation of his Cause, is concerned... That he should not have gone beyond these two, as the Purpose of his life ... There are infinite possibilities in them both, and he should have devoted his energies to Cricket and Shaukat Khanum Hospital ... instead of Translating the Turkish Justice Party's Manifesto, into a Movement, he is not qualified to lead.

But in countries, with a leadership, like the present one in Pakistan, composed of Mirasis etc., one is easily distracted by Personal ambition ...

Try to Remember, " روشنی ... Emanates From Truth ... not the Chehras of Cricketers, or NGOized Philanthropists, or the Khan Bahadur Progeny, or the Playboys and the Julahas, Lohaars, and Mochis, etc. turned Milllionaires and Billionaires by Robbing the People and the Corrupt state. The hedonist Sardars, Jagirdars, the Bank frauds, Corrupt Bureaucrats, Judges, Mullahs, and Bandits are also a part of this long list ... Misfits ... but Placed, Rulers " ...

Thus, "Companions of Pakistani Leaders, are the True Reflection, of their Real Person ... What we see, of them, in the Media, or in their real life faces, is an optical Illusion; created by makeup, and at times, by our hopeless Delusions.
It is for these Reasons, that, a Political Change in Pakistan, means a Change, of names and Faces, they all Speak one Jargon ... They neither have the Capacity, the Ability or the Intent, to Change the Reality of the Pakistani's Pathetic Condition, in Pakistan...
Do you Understand ?

Regarding the Pakistani, writing from Saudi Arabia, that " people of Pakistan, cannot seem to be unable to Unite at a Point" ...

The Fact of the situation, is quite different, than what appears ... For it is so, because of the Placers Hired, Local Proxies ... well fed, well placed, and secured ... whose job is to see to it, that People of Pakistan do not rally and Unite under one Flag ...

And ................................. about the famous, the youngest Billionaire, the Programmer of face book, I have to say, that first, he used his head, made the Software, by Applying, his Idea ... Thus, came up with a web site, which could Serve the New World Disorder Plan, thus, was Allowed, [like his Fellow Programmers] as Owners, of Media and the Internet Sites ... by his Establishment...

Tell the boy, "Do not to run away from Pakistan" ... come back home, do whatever little you can do, face the World's Oppositions, and singlehandedly build Pakistan's Place on the Internet, do so, for your Future Generations. That this is what, we are supposed to ...

:) ye to murghi aur anday wali behez hi ho gai Rubina behen.

Although I have a much smaller intellect to cook up any solution to our national tragedy, but I do have a small incident to share. It happened in 2002, in Lahore. I was driving my car home, when a man came from wrong side, and almost hit me. I pushed hard brakes. He, while speeding his car off, angrily looked and passed on some curse. Only one thought hit my mind at that moment, "This man deserve a Trespasser like Musharraf to be his representative". And then I realized that majority of us carried this attitude of trespassing, exploiting whatever is within our power etc. We deserved Musharraf, as much as we deserve Zardari today.

Yousuf Sahib, as you talked of "red revolution", I wish that you would have been alive in times of Karl Marx, so that you could have told him to stop writing Das Kapital in first place.

I think that understanding a problem is a step towards its solution. So by writing and thus raising awareness about understanding our problem, we can move closer to solution. But in the end, it is not the scholars, but each and every person who's living in Pakistan, holds the key to solution. Let's stop "deserving" Zardari and these rogue leaders first. Wo "Sala" sahih wala leader khud hi samnay aa jaiy ga :)

Yeh hum mein jitni bhi kamzoorian nazar aati hein yeh sab honesty na honay ki wajah say hein.Saari burai yun ki aik hi wajah disnoesty.

Mein jis honesty ki baat kar raha hoon woh hay insan ka khud kay saath honest
hona. Is cheese ki hum mein kami hay.

Aap ko surkh inqilab ki hahi balke education ki zaroorat hay. Jab aik insan apnay saath honest hoga tab hi woh har zavia say apni bhali kay liye sochay ga. Uski positive soch usko sahi simt mein lay jaye gi.

Is tarah aik gharana,phir aik mohallah,aik district,aik city aur pura mulk honesty par gamzan hoga tab hi sab mil kar woh nizam lain gay jo un sab ki mushtarak soch ka nati ja hoga.

Yeh kaam itna aasan nahi hay. Yeh bilkul Paygambaron wala kaam hay aur baray sabar say hoga. aik din,aik mah ya aik saal mein nahi balkey is mein kam az kam pachas saal laq sak tay hein.

Hoesty hi wahid rastay hay. Soch ye.

bohat acha column hai rubina, jhunjhorne wala. kash kisi ko sharm aaye aur koi naik neeyati aur khaloos se rahbari karne ki thaan le. is bigre aawe ko koi to sanwarne ki koshish kare, such keha tum ne kahan mar gaye salay sub.
Hello Rubina:
What a unique way to promote and endorse Imran Khan; your article "Magar Sala Gia Kahan" claims to have four questions for your readers, but in fact these questions are the true answers... I don't know why we have been searching for the monarch (Leader) to show us the path to prosperity... we need to learn from the history that Pakistan has suffered more damage from our leader than the ordinary people.
YES, we have enormous problems in Pakistan, but "are we looking for the solutions from the right places?" the answer is NO.
The time is coming soon, when I will be sharing a "Peaceful Contingency Plan" (PCP) to not only the people of Pakistan, but to all our long lost global cousins, just pray for the global peace.
Where the Imran Khan is concerned, I have contested a National Assembly election in 1997 with his partnership because I used to believe in him as the Messiah of our troubles like many of us are beginning to see in him.. Imran is an honest, sincere, and dedicated human being, but his leadership can not cure the social ills of our society.. the answer is somewhere else, just wait....
Thanks.
Habib Khan.
Rubina Faisal:

All the three letter that you have published tell us the most horrific situation that has engulfed Pakistan.
I have had interaction with lottttttttttts of educated young Pakistanis who are the most frustrated lot . That means that our future leaders are also in a state of complete dismay.
Is there a way out ? Yes. First of all, we , the older generation needs to make frank and candid confessions . The Pakistan that our leaders got was not prosperous but it had honest and dedicated leaders and bureaucrats who shephered the country through its turbulent years. But gradually the country was high- jacked by " waderas" with feudal mind-sets. The feudal-mind set is not only among the landed aristocracy but all over-- bureaucrats , army people,. industrialists etc. all have feudal mind sets. Our national assembly constituencies are too big . Only " crore-paties" can run for elections who spend huge sums and then get into total corruption from day one to recoup what they have spent.

The ruling elites' popularity has come down to less than 20 % and yet they continue to rule for their own self interest. Right now, personal interest is number one , family interests number two, clan interest number three, provincial interest number four ; the National Interest is the meagre residual element . Unless we reverse this order of priorities ; we will continue to race towards the bottom of the pit.

Who will do that ? Only the youth of the country because they are the KEY stake holders. They need to take their future in their own hands -- strive to change the corruption-ridden system ; insist that the political parties have elections in the parties themselves ; those who do not have intra-party elections , they should not be allowed to run for elections /.

In due course of time the genuine leadership ; responsive and responsible ; will emerge . It is a long , tough road but there are no short cuts or quick-fixes.

The national reform agenda should continue to be discussed and discussed vigorously . Solutions will surface only and only if face up to the challenges and search for solutions that are home grown and NOT " donor-driven". United we have a chance to survive; devided we will go down.

Thanks for your efforts to share the feelings of the people who have been marginalised in the present self-erving system of the elites for the elites.

With profound regards,

Fateh M . Chaudhri
Dear Ms. Rubina Faisal,
The anxiety of the youth in Pakistan mirrored in your column is quite natural. We are the victim of religious extremism, terrorism, sectarianism, feudalism, militarism, fascism, emotionalism, illiteracy, poverty, over population,bureaucracy, corruption, bribery, banditry and brigandage. How such an over burdened nation can survive? Should we wait for miracles to happen? Are we waiting for some Messiah? Mr. Bhutto was a visionary and popular leader and became the victim of the conspiracy of the imperialists. Pakistan has seen four martial laws. We are an unfortunate nation. Ms. Benazir was an other intellectual and visionary leader. She also got killed. Mian Nawaz Sharif had popular mandate but was deposed and expelled. These civilian leaders mentioned here might not have been ideal for all. Every body has his own choice and vision so far as leadership is concerned. But they were the best out of the available lot. Presently we need civilian leadership. Let the democratic process continue. It must not halt. If one government goes, let the other come but by democratic process. No military rule should be accepted. The only panacea of our social evils lies in education, social justice, moderation, rationalism and democracy. We should hope for better future but it needs strenuous struggle. We need capable , honest and patriotic leadership from middle class.

Besides, last night I was at the residence of Mr. Jafar Naqvi in New Jersey in a poetry session. I also recited my fresh Urdu poetry. Mr. Ashfaq Hussain had come from Canada and Mr. Safdar Hamadani from London. We had a good evening. I am coming to Canada on May 28, 2010 to read out my essay on the book of Syed Athar Razvi. Hope to see you there.
With warm wishes,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Robina.
Nice article.
Situation is gone from BAD to WORST in Pakistan. We have identity crises. (We mean Pakistani) It is in my experience that some of our young people born and raised in the USA or UK etc. are reluctant to call themselves Pakistani.
Nothing good is coming out of our country. From the President down to a peon in common office is corrupt, dishonest and immoral .
We were pushing for democracy. Look what we got? Love Irshad
I have gone through your latest article, “Face book ka asal face”. It’s really alarming, motivated and informative one. By the way I have gone though your couple of other columns too, e.g. “Imran Khan ko mulak badr karma chahye” and “Ab tau tu bik b nahee sakti”,,, What a beautiful style and impressions they do possess. Please keep up the good work. I wish you good luck and every success in your future endeavour.

-your article "facebook ka asali face " has caught my heart

when u were telling that those people who were victim of loneliness or those people who were not being heard, i was thinking that u are talking about me

Indeed now people have got a source of outlet for telling their inner passions. It ( i must include other internet magazines/forums too) has helped to reduce tension (including of mine too) which was cooking in the minds.

This is right that i can write easily in print media of Pakistan easily but despite that i feel a sort of no security while expressing myself. In other internet forums i express easily my thoughts

Merely same comments have been written by me in ur face book

Salams Rubina..

Your article on Facebook is excellent.. and true to dot. Too much openness and total lack of privacy is causing a lot of problems on it. Like every tool.. FB has its pros and cons.. but unfortunately as is the nature of human beings, we usually find the worse way to use a tool.

Keep writing!

Dear Rubina Sahiba, 

Just read your column, Facebook, I note that you are wishing to see large business offices in Lahore and Islamabad. Have you ever thought who is going to provide security against the TTP terrorists? Supposing you have secured the premises, how much useful work can be done in those offices with daily 18 hour power shut down? 

The country has no role models of any kind. The younger generation can hardly get any inspiration from the clowns in the parliament. Many of them are sitting there with fake degrees and some of them don’t even know the Table of 2. They call themselves the political leaders. They are political all right but certainly not leaders of any description.  

Some countries get destroyed in a war, some by natural disasters, but Pakistan has been bombed by NRO. The NRO stench is so bad that people can hardly breathe fresh air. In that stifling atmosphere, sitting in dark, sweating like hogs because of no electricity, they can hardly think straight, let alone come up with revolutionary, technological or scientific ideas.  

The only people who have electricity without interruption and three square meals a day are the thieves and thugs sitting in the upper echelons. They have no brains and certainly no time to think about the national advancement or development. They are too busy in manipulating their own version of democracy as much as possible and obsessed with its husen’ which they never fail to remind us about as part of their own need for reassurance.
