The Candle, The Light and The Amish


The picture above is a sign of a good old source of light, the sweet candle, now only remembered in terms and times of a higher emotional state of mind.

Yes, you guessed it right - a romantic dinner! But there is also one more occasion when the emotions are high and the candle is thought of quite desperately. And that's when you are resting on your bed, in a dark summer night, and suddenly all the sounds go quiet around you. You open your eyes - you see nothing, you try to listen - you hear nothing. The first thing that pops into one's mind is a candle.

You get up and light a candle, lay back on your bed, and wonder - why! Why in the middle of the night! Why my block! Suddenly you feel like being a dinner for the mosquitoes, so you get up and start wandering around the house. You're still thinking... why did I pay the bill, why did I work all week long to pay the bill, why do I do it, Why do I have to go to the office again in the morning. What my life has been, why do I still live here.... What's the future... You in the meantime also curse the "electricity-suppliers", shall I say only "suppliers" or just "liers" (for the sake of convenience) :)
But I was thinking, why do we get bothered with whats going on? The question revolves around human psychology, economics, sociality, prosperity and a lot more if you think... But just one point is worth highlighting...
Curiosity leads to discovery, discoveries leads to ideas, ideas leads to inventions, inventions leads to marketing, Marketing leads to wants and wants become needs. When you don't get when you need, you get bothered.
Now the point is, if there isn't any "Curiosity", there won't be any needs (except for the natural ones). The question is, is there anyone in the world, who isn't curious? The answer is, yes and no. There aren't any normal people (mentally and religiously) who are not curious of new advancements. But there are also some people who are not curious or more accurately 'ignorant' about the new advancements of technology and lifestyle.

The most well-known community in the world is the Amish community. Besides all the religious matters and believes, isn't that the only community living at peace!

what if we all are rendered Amish compellingly or willingly sometime in near future :)

Bloody Horses

I don't know if someone has observed this piece of "Art" on shara-e-faisal or not. for me it is a painful and quite disturbing image. being a designer myself i can understand what the designer was supposed to make, but he ended up portraying the exact opposite of that concept. It is more like this that the horses are sucked into the wall, their faces show agony and there is blood all over the wall. Instead it was supposed to show the power what the horses posses that they can come tearing out of the barriers. There are so many sights in Karachi that has been displaying rather useless / worthless demonstrations of so-called art, i believe this is just a result of getting things done the easier way and not considering the quality-factor at all.
