“Much of the pain in life comes from having a life plan that you’ve fallen in love with, but that doesn’t work out. Having to find a new life plan hurts. The trick is not to become too attached to any particular life plan and to remember that there is always a better, even happier life plan out there somewhere.”

— Karen Salmansohn

“The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention…. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.”

New Year Resolution (written on 31 December, 2013 refreshed on 27 October, 2014 and 17 January, 2015 and still even more relevant TODAY, when both the countries are almost on the brink of a nuclear war, due to very aggressive ceasefire violations by the Indians on the LOC; and as admitted and claimed by the Indian National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval, Indians have embarked upon a proxy terror war against Pakistan, under the nomenclature of “Defensive Offensive” doctrine. However, under the scenario, it is not very difficult to visualise the reaction of a nuclear Pakistan, if another Indian sponsored terror attack on Pakistan, resembling the type and magnitude of 16, December 2014 genocide of school kids in Peshawar, is repeated on its soil, by the proxy Indian trained and financed agents, as per own admission of Ajit Doval).

From Pakistan With Love to All the Indians… – Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace.

New Year Resolution – From Pakistan With Love to All the Indians

While wishing all the Indians a very happy and prosperous new year 2015, we would like to inform everyone in India that if at all we have to be friends, then that friendship must be in a true sense; and we must not act and behave with each other, in a hypocritical manner.

Let India and Pakistan be friends in true sense, or else let the leaders of both the countries inform the teeming millions of the sub-continent that an India vs Pakistan all out nuclear war, IS AN OPTION.

It must be clear to ALL the civilian and military leaders in India that assuming (just theoretically) without any Pakistani retaliations, if India (God forbid) reduces the entire Pakistan to rubbles, with a nuclear attack, INDIA TOO won’t be able to survive the radiation, which will reduce the vast agricultural lands in Indian Punjab and other areas, totally uncultivable for hundreds of years, leaving millions of Indians to die, of hunger and diseases.

However, as per the more plausible scenario, if Pakistan decided to empty on India, all and entire of its nuclear arsenal, (Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is increasing at a pace faster than any other country and now is reported to have more nuclear weapons than that of India, reports TOI in its news item of 17, January, 2015 titled “Pakistan’s fourth nuclear reactor appears operational”) either as a first strike, or second strike, almost entire India will be vaporised. And as calculated by the scientists, this all out nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan, will raise so much dust that the entire planet Earth, will have a complete blackout of sun rays for decades, resulting in a dooms day day scenario, for every living organism on Earth.

Moreover, no foreigner will even think of staying and visiting india, with so much high radiation everywhere. Indian nuclear policy decision makers must know in advance that nuclear wars are ABSOLUTELY NO option, with very close neighbours. In such a geographical and military situation, which exists between India and Pakistan, nuclear war is a ZERO sum game, if at all, it is a game.

We would also like to assure the Indians that even if we wanted we can’t conquer India. At the same time even if India wanted, it can’t pull down Pakistan, without India being destroyed, as well.

So, why to waste our time and energies in an imaginary hatred policies? Why to waste our precious resources, in being the prisoners of our foolish past? From the first day of the new year 2015, let us bury our bitter past and be friends in true sense, like all the European countries. India and Pakistan can and must live like United Europe, rather than wasting all the precious resources for living like divided Korea.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Let us have a genuine peace. Let India remove all its strike forces from the Pakistani borders, without any fear. Let us join hands to wage a war against poverty, hunger, disease and illiteracy. Let us turn this subcontinent into a bastion of peace and a heaven on earth.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

India and Pakistan just need a period of single decade of genuine peace, to turn around its fortunes, for emerging as the most potent economic and cultural power house of this world.

The only condition is the genuine and authentic peace, like the one which exists in between the EU countries.

Don’t be afraid of problems between the two countries, because they will remain for ever, but we have to give priority to peace, over the problems.

Let us make a new start from the beginning of the new year 2015, with the slogan:
– Long live the friendship of the teeming millions of India and Pakistan.

An open letter to the Indian PM

Dear Mr. Narendra Modi Sahab,

Greetings.

We in Pakistan, really appreciated the desire to visit Pakistan, expressed by the former Prime Minister of India, Mr. Manmohan Singh, in his press conference on 3 January, 2014.

In this regard, I would like to suggest to the current leadership of both the countries, to take advantage of the conducive atmosphere prevailing in the region; and let India and Pakistan try a NEW APPROACH towards the peace: by first deciding upon a list of such core thorny issues, which are complicated and can only be resolved after full confidence, between the two nations is restored; and freeze all such issues or problems, for a short period of just one decade.

In the meantime, India and Pakistan should restore full friendly relations, by genuinely restoring confidence, by further pulling back troops from the LOC and start immediate cooperation in all the fields of economic activities, visa free to and fro, travel (for all the cities) of citizens of both the countries, special facilities for the businessmen of the two nations for opening of trade offices, banks, business shops and show rooms, in each others country, removal of all restrictions on cultural and sports teams visits and full permission of the TV channels, to be viewed in each other’s country.

It will be just of a sorts of a no war pact (which should also include 90% withdrawal of troops from the entire valley of Jammu and Kashmir and 100% withdrawal of troops from the Siachin area, for a limited period of ten years).

Moreover, it should also be decided that in order to avoid any misunderstandings, on account of any illegal crossings from the LOC, joint LOC patrolling of Indo-Pak troops along with the UN observers, should also be considered as a part of the overall peace agreement, which is surely expected to work wonders, like a magic, in the economic emancipation of the teeming millions of both the countries.

Sir, hope you know very well that ordinary people of both the countries are fed up with the acrimony between the two closest neighbours; and earnestly desire hundreds of years of peace, for which the only impediment, is the lack of statesmen and visionary people in the policy making arena of both the countries.

Now, your and our leadership has got a golden chance of a life time, to jointly work for the peace of about 1.5 billion humanity.

Please extend your hands to meet the gestures of genuine peace, already offered at EVERY occasion, by the Pakistani PM Mr. Nawaz Sharif, to make the peace aspirations of the hundreds of millions of residents of the sub continent, come true.

Remember, may be this golden chance for the peace between the two nations, if missed now, may not come again in decades.

Also please inform all those military and political planners in your country, not in favour of genuine peace with Pakistan that low intensity war named as offensive defensive operations, or other covert hostile methods, are no more a long or short term options for, as well as, against; a nuclear power, which possesses more military nuclear arsenal (as reported today by Times of India) than India.

All such paradigms are out dated being a ZERO sum game, in the ultimate nuclear scenario. Such policy planners have no business to stay in the past non-nuclear status frame of mind; and they must develop a NEW and FRESH vision, to guide a major nuclear nation, like India.

Policy makers of nuclear powers must not have a mindset of a non nuclear state. And the foremost responsibility of these policy makers must be to ensure, at all costs, that under ALL circumstances, nuclear flare up or provocations under offensive defensive doctrine, MUST be ruled out: irrespective of the defined policy of no first use of nuclear weapons or retaliatory use of WMD’s.

Sir, if Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi can be awarded Nobel Peace Prize for their noble campaign for peace through education and child rights, just imagine how kindly the world will remember the immortal bold acts of Mr. Narendra Modi and Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, in ameliorating the hardships due to hunger, disease and illiteracy of more than 1.5 billion humanity of the entire region.

Please remember that war results only in devastation, deaths and destruction, whereas, dividends of peace are construction, prosperity and happiness.

Last but not the least, it must be a very clear objective of the leadership of both the countries, to ensure that India and Pakistan must not live like divided Korea, rather, we should live, like the united Europe.

Seasons Greetings and Best Wishes for a very Happy New Year 2015.

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”

Heartiest congratulations to Pakistanis and cricket lovers all over the world.

The performance of Pakistani cricket team in the 1st Test vs Australia was really something to sing about.

The comprehensive 221 runs win of the 6th ranked (Pakistani) team over the #1 ranked (Australian) team is a sort of coup (a highly successful, unexpected stroke, act, or move; a clever action or accomplishment).

By the Grace of Allah, this Test match victory is a very sweet gift on the 1st day of the Islamic New Year 1436 Hijri.

The secret of success of the Pakistani team, which defeated Australia with a huge margin of 221 runs, was the superb team work and much improved fielding and running, between the wickets.

Misbah ul Haq has beaten the year 1896 record of WG Grace, by becoming the oldest ever captain of a team which beat Australia.

Sharif brothers lie about no business with India: Mazari

ISLAMABAD- Central Information Secretary PTI, Dr Shireen Mazari today stated that once again the Sharif brothers have lied to the nation by claiming they have no business dealings with India.
Chairman PTI Imran Khan had stated in Gujrat that PM Sharif’s inexplicable silence over the Indian aggression and Indian PM’s hate-filled statements were a result of the Sharifs business deals with Indian business houses.
She said despite the Sharif brothers issuing a denial, the facts expose this as a brazen lie. Facts about one such deal between House of Sharif and India is as follows: Hussain Nawaz purchased an Induction Furnace from Inductotherm (India) pvt Ltd for $ 3.3 million, she added
She noted, “To conceal the payment, the money was transferred from Hill Metal Bank Account No 462-75201-4567892 Al-Rajhi Bank Jeddah to Chase Manhattan Bank for credit to Account number 001-1-406717.”
The Information Secretary further said from Chase Manhattan Bank the money was transferred to DDFC Bank, Navrang Pura Branch, Ahmedabad India – beneficiary Inductotherm (India) pvt ltd Gujarat India, Account No 00-62-000-7605. Mazari demanded to know how PM Sharif will explain away these facts and his denial which is now an established lie.

The only reason of the sudden ascendancy of the Pakistani cricket team, which to my mind is that the team is free, of any politics.
