To, A Few Elders

May 23rd, 2012

Life is indeed unpredictable and plans can never remain constant, I come across to this reality every now and then. The latest encounter I had with this factor is right now when I am writing this as this has never been in my plans or in my thoughts that I will ever write about this, but sometimes the incidences you come across force you to react to the things that you never bothered to think about. Yesterday when I was roaming in the city and trying to enjoy my evening a few Punjabi words hit my listening sense the simplest translation of those words are, “do you have any manners, how to talk to the elders?”.

Maya Khan – The imbalance of power and responsibility

January 23rd, 2012

Woh aapki jo bhi lagti ho main aapki Ammi hoon (Sournce Facebook)

Initially when I responded to this whole development I felt as if somehow I am fanning a non issue to be an issue. I was wrong, and I came to this decision while thinking about it over and over again. When we can spend hours in long, endless, yet good for nothing political debates on all the platform we have access to than why not on such issues. There is something huge hidden even in the smallest news, because what ever get the status of news never remain just an ordinary thing. These are all purely my own thoughts over the video of a morning show from last week that became talk of the social media town, because of which I have been through thought process and eventually keyboarding all those bits of views. I have described my initial opinion on it but the game changer was the verse from the holly Quran that I read this past afternoon. In Chapter 24 (Surat Nur) it is written in verse 27 and 28:

Most of the points raised by the participants are the same what ever we think and want to do but still there is one question that who is going to do it in real. no more my commentary so take a look of the show.

Upon What hand Shall I Find Blood???

March 2nd, 2011

We are ashamed… We are or just me... I was confused when I saw a shattering news right after I woke up. The Minister of Minority Affairs Mr. Shahbaz Bhatti has been assassinated and Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan has accepted the responsibility. I am feeling thankful to TTP for taking the burden on their head, when each and every one of us is the real responsible for what happened to Mr. Bhatti. This assassination is a real setback for Pakistan and a quite successful attempt to prove that this place is the most violent and extremist country, where asking question is a bigger sin then the sin itself. TTP might have been just a chapter of his story but what about all of us who molded this story in a way that it reaches to a point where there are pictures of a car in with broken glasses, states soaked in blood, and must to mention more than 20 bullets.

Islam Awareness Week in UWE

February 6th, 2011

This past week was celebrated as “Islam Awareness Week” in University of the West of England (UWE, Bristol) by ISOC (university’s Islamic Society). The Society came in to my knowledge after my first Friday prayer that I offered on the campus. ISOC is the society that arranges the Friday prayer and other important information (e.g. prayer timings) for the students. Along with that, they arrange different talks and events to spread the real message of Islam.
I followed this event closely; the reason is that it is the first event on the campus that attracted me. For the whole week, there has been “Discover Islam Exhibition” on One Zone. Another feature of this exhibition was to answer the common misconceptions about Islam along with other questions regarding Islam, informative and interesting ligature was distributed free.
