GLOBAL VOICE OR GLOBAL WARNING

Melting of ice on the poles is the warning sign of global warning and also the global voice. Workshops and seminars are conducting in different part of world organized by different countries on global waning. We can easily judge the gravity of this issue by unanimously increasing industrialization, floods in different parts of world, urbanization, cutting of forests and increasingly doing nuclear experiences. A few suggestions are; (a) cut down the nuclear experiences (b) increase the forests and give them protection (c) protecting the ozone layer otherwise harmful rays will become responsible for various types of skin cancers (d) protecting the seas and rivers from pollution.

SUPERSTITIOUS

Superstitious means that “Showing ignorance of the laws of nature and faith in magic or chance”. Believing superstitious things is the state of mind. With this state of mind, superstitious may be grouped into religious, cultural and personal. All religious beliefs and practices may seem superstitious to the person without religious or the follower of some other religious or sect. therefore the less said about these, the better. Superstitious state of mind also occurs in the so called modern society; this all due to ignorance I must say.
In western culture, the number 13 is perceived as unlucky; and buildings completely skip the number 13 floor. If a man accidentally spilled salt, he would throw salt over his left shoulder in order to make the devil blind who sits there. Opening an umbrella indoor is thought to result of 21 days striving. Breaking the mirror will result to bring hardship of seven years. Some body in western country has dropped the pocket mirror while fixing the tie and shattered it. “Oh no!” he yelled to his wife. “Now I am to face a seven miserable years. “ Nonsense, “the women countered. “My uncle once has broken a mirror and he did not have seven bad years. “Really?” the man felt encouraged. If the women does not tell him this then he will die in that day. As we have seemed in movies that European has a full quota of superstitious. In Sweden, placing keys on the table is seems to be unlucky. Moreover collecting nine or seven different flowers and put them under your pillow means that your will dream of your future spouse. In UK it is bad to put new shoes on a bed or table. In Russia, if a person wants to have a safe journey, he should sit on the luggage.
Asia is the most fertile breed of superstitious beliefs. In Chine, Japan and Korea, number 4 is unlucky. Building having number 4 floor is vacant in these countries. In Sri Lanka, crying of an owl in night, it is a signature of death of the villager. If you see a lizard before going out, it is better not to leave home.
Superstitious beliefs are almost same in the Indo-Pak subcontinent despite religious and cultural differences. Like, pregnant women should avoid coming in the open during an eclipse. A black cat your path does means that you should change your path immediately. If you get hiccups, it means that you are remembering by some one near and dear. If the left eye of a woman quivers, she is going to get some good news. A black mark is necessary on your forehead if you go to the party.
Finally, people developed personal superstitious. Directors of film make their luck associated with the successful films. At this moment I am having a little itch in my palm. So I stop here as I belief that I will receive money when I publication of this article on my blog.

HOW PAKISTAN CAN BE ON THE ROAD OF SUCCESS?

When I opened my eyes in this country, there was peace and harmony around me. But as I grow up and attached with the outer world around me, it was totally disappointing to me. Being a Pakistani I want to see my country a leading and peaceful nation in the world.
Today the scenario is totally changed. No one is safe in this criminal and terrorist climate that is prevailing in my country. Pakistani people want dignity and peace in their country. But as longer as the blame game in on in Pakistan, it would be harder to provide the peace and dignity in the country.
Acknowledging this gap between the needs of the people and the performance of various governments, a few suggestions can be more effective if it may be implemented with a clear thinking and honesty.
Instead of blaming each other, each current and up coming government should take solid steps in providing the harming and peace in the environment otherwise this recurring crisis will make Pakistan an untenable state.
Instead of implementing and supporting the Washington’s agenda in Asia, government should implement its own agenda that best suited to its people of Pakistan.
Provide justice, liberty and protection of life in the society and also find ways for achieving the socioeconomic prosperity otherwise history will repeat like the one that occurred in the separation of the East wing of the country in 1971.
Implement only those development schemes whose interest is to bring up standard of living for under-privileged classes. It can serve the purpose of eradication of poverty in the country.
finally but not the least that government should not give free hand to privatization in the country that it served the interest of few business man only.
Pakistani people want peace, dignity, prosperity, harmony, justice and equality of opportunity in the country. Let’s see how much time it will take to become Pakistan on the road of success.

LIFE OF A NOBLE GOVERNMENT SERVANT

It was a time when I have completed my graduation degree in engineering and got a chance to join the government organization. In our society, joining a government organization is a prestigious one (Low salary with a lot of command and power).
My first salary was in hundreds in digits and I bought a mobile form the salary to connect with my relatives and family. This was my first advancement in entering in the life style of upper class people.
I got married after three years of my service as a government employee. After a short span of time I got promotion, government car and a transfer letter l. This was an exciting day for me but transferring from one place to another was a new experience for me. I have shared this achievement with my wife and my family also. That day we had a dinner in a continental hotel.
I packed my entire bag and baggage and went to the new place. Now I made up my mind that transferring from one place to another is a part of government service. The next day when I reached to my office my new colleagues was standing for a warm welcome to say “Welcome Sir, Welcome”.
During my government service I bought a new car but that new car does not remain in my custody. I have to sell it for some family constraints.
After forty year of my service I realized that it is a time to make my dream true which I have buried forty years back. That dream was to own a house. I bought a plot away from the main city that I could only bought in my limited salary.
After two years of time, I made a half portion of my house. I took some loan from my family and from the bank. Some of my family members denied me to give loan by stating different excuses. But God knows that how someone feels when you live in an half built home.
Now I have four daughters and one son. I have to marry my elder daughter as it is the part of life. When I felt that it’s a good proposal, I marry my daughters. As it is the tradition of our society that daughter need to bring lot of luggage (JAHEEZ) form its husband. If parents do not fulfill their demands, the daughter has to face the pinching words of her husband and her family through out her life. I have also fulfilled the demands of them through my little salary and by taking more loans from my family. But God knows how I fulfilled that demands.
The life goes on and I got old. My life was now rotated around the different activities like paying the monthly installments of loan, arranging the food for the family, fulfilling the endless demands of my married daughters, and many more.
Now my son got his master degree when ten years of my retirement was left. I saw my future in my son that my son would be helping hand for me. But as soon as he got married and get his new job, he went abroad with her wife.
Now I had retired from my service. I had achieved many things in my life but I could not archive the love and warm feelings of hug of my younger son. I still pay the monthly installments of my house. At this stage I need a helping hand, but unfortunately I am a person who have hands but without a helping hand. Why it happens in life? Why?
