Happy Birthday, dear Quaid

Today marks the 143th birthday of a man most famously known for accomplishing the daunting and rare task of creating a country, developing a nation and changing the geopolitical boundaries of South Asia for forever!

Happy Birthday, Quaid e Azam!!!

Each year we pay tribute to you and your selfless struggle for the people of Indian subcontinent. The political solution you offered saved millions of lives from communal attacks and possible civil war in case British had left Indian subcontinent in a haste without paying heed to the wishes of its large minority population!

However this year is special.

Dear Quaid, you must have noticed that just a few years ago on this day we sang the patriotic songs with a heavy heart and crooked voice. Just 4 years ago, after the APS attack we practically forgot how to smile and thought we may never see happiness again!

But even in our gloomiest hour we did not loose hope. We fought multiple wars, not just on the military front but in every sector of life. These wars tested our very faith in the ideology of Pakistan. We were the victims but we were called perpetrators to terror. Our peace efforts since independence were forgotten. The world refused to acknowledge our wounds, our sufferings and our sacrifices.

With Faith, with new found Unity and with a little Discipline we have come a long way forward...

So many obstacles which seemed impossible to cross are already behind us. We have rediscovered the values which bind us as a nation.

The nation is now breathing, thinking, acting and moving forward like a single individual. We have reshaped our goals. The world is slowly acknowledging our international role. We have clearly identified our foes and friends.
Once again we are challenging the odds with a new found zeal and hope which is enabling us to accomplish what is deemed impossible!

This is a new era with new dreams and new goals. Where we want to keep the pledge we made to you

and the nation to create the new world all of us dreamed of.
Let’s hope we can share more good news next year!

Many many happy returns of the day 🇵🇰

Collapsing Global Political trends - Are we in need of a new political system?

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair" Charles Dickens; A Tale of two cities Capitol Hill under siege There is no better description of the current global socio-political scenario than these infamous words of Dickens. After a year of pandemic and political incapacity to unanimously contain an emergency situation at the global center stage, the world is witnessing a dichotomy that has never been so evident before. In contrast to the Cold War era, when the world was divided into two distinct blocks with individuals from each of the block fighting and dying for their own political ideology, the current division is present deeper within the masses in respective countries. US elections 2020 revealed that this division is rampant with

Waves of sorrow and the fertile hearts!

The recent Monsoon season and the heavy rainfall we received poured some questions in the minds of many a people across Pakistan. In this post I would like to address three of such questions, according to my personal opinion, and would also like to know what you think about these questions. The questions are: · Why did a natural disaster as devastating as the recent floods hit us? · What can we at an individual and national level do for the relief of millions of people who are desperately looking towards us for help? And · In what way is the flood going to affect us, as a nation, in the long-term? Considering from different angles many different perspectives can be observed. Some believe that the ‘timely’ construction of large dams in the country could have helped storing water in the reservoirs, hence reducing the chances of floods. Others are of the opinion that as regular cleaning of the river channels in the Northern region of the country was not observ

The Unconscious Self

“What color do you like?” “I prefer red.” “But why do u like it? There must be some reason.” “The only reason is that… THERE’S JUST NO REASON” There comes many such moments in our life when ‘There’s just no reason’ behind some of our actions or thoughts. Yet we feel determined to carry them out. This is the point when our unconscious steps in our conscious world and leaves indelible marks on it. Unconscious has a considerable effect on one’s way of life but the nature of the exact relation it has with the conscious self is mysterious. Also the fact that despite having seemingly conflicting nature one’s conscious and subconscious usually go together in an efficient way deepens this mystery further, thus making it more appealing for researches and study. Life is a complete system and the process of living needs every component of that system to work in harmony. That is why we should not consider that the unconscious and the conscious do not supplement each other.
