Mazar-e-Quaid! A True Representation Of The City

... Ashamed! Truly I am!

I've been hearing about videos on YouTube regarding frustrated / desperate couples making love right in the middle of the Mazar-e-Quaid, open air, public display of love and affection (PDA). I've been observing teenage guys watching videos of Pakistani young girls dancing like crazy on events in their schools and personal parties. I kept on wondering, what's happening to the people of Karachi! Have they forgotten their religion? Have they forgotten their identity, their own respect, their own pride! Chains of thoughts leads to blaming of almost everything around us, the TV channels, the movies, the media, the education, the parents, the children themselves, the traditions everything...

Just as it began to build up and something could be said, I've been notified by a blogger on KMB (link probably doesn't work as of now), about an incident that took place in same place, under an apparently different topic.

A young woman was drugged and raped in a room of Mazar-e-Quaid. It is indeed a shocking and horrifying incident, but I'm not here to comment on the rights of women, the government laws or the corrupt public.

All I want to notify is the fact that how true is the representation of what happened in the place and whats happening to the country. The reason why this Mazar is there and the one whose mazar is it, did not stand for this to happen ever. In fact, he stood with intent of the exact opposite.

I'm done putting blames on everyone around and I'd recommend all the bloggers around to avoid doing the same. I'm not an angel, why should I expect others to be one. I'm not perfect, why should I expect others to be as perfect as we think they should be. Before commenting on anything, try to think what YOUR part is in it. Is it just to comment?

Just think for once, what if everyone tries to rectify himself or make a considerable gesture before he puts a blame or curse anyone, wouldn't life be better? The smallest gesture is to educate others do the same...

Man vs. Market - By Kulsoom (extremely well written)

Original Link: Men vs. Markets : " “He is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death.” By H.H. Munro The above has proven to be correct for Syed Muzzamil Hussain Shah, a young scout who embraced martyrdom on 28th December, 2009 in Ashur procession blast in Karachi. But how many of us remember him? Or do we remember any of those who got killed that day? Off the record over 75 people got killed on that day while participating in the procession. We remember none but burned shops because that’s what being over-run on media. Sometimes significance of material takes over the precious lives. I wonder why and who called lives precious since they are not anymore. We have better things to show and cry over, such as loss of Rs.30 billion, stolen arms, and arguing and blaming political parties. Government of Pakistan announced Rs. 500,000 for the deceased and Rs.100,000 for injured but these funds will take time to arrive in the hand of families. With the increasing infl...

Why We Love Karachi - Aansoon ko sharaab kehtay hein! :)

Lamha-e-Fikria

I got this email about pieces of Quran Majeed (The Holy Book) at Boat Basin -Karachi. I'm not sure about the authenticity of this email or the people responsible. But I do know that I have received this email quite a few times in the recent past. So I'm posting it so more and more people could know and probably get a solution for this matter. Just a thought, we Muslims are off for boycotting everything and make a fuss about anything that insults Islam and / or any Holy figures in that matter. Take the issue of Hazrat Muhammad (SAW) illustrations , when there was boycott of every Danish product. Or take the Puma shoe for instance! I say what happens in your own neighbourhood is of no concern to you? No one is there to "act upon" or "act out" on everything that goes wrong in our won city? Our own Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said something - the essence of which is that you don't have to expect or advice someone for doing or not doing something unless you yourse...
