As a safety and precautionary step, government must announce that with immediate effect, no vehicle of any type, including cycles and motor cycles etc., be allowed to enter or be parked in any bazaar throughout the country.

This is a harsh and very inconvenient step, but it may save many lives.

Twin blasts in Peshawar claims 28 lives of kids, women and men.

This is nothing but Indian proxy war against Pakistan.

We will have to call spade a spade.

There is a direct link of Indian consulates in Afghanistan & terrorism in Pak.

We must bomb these consulates before they annihilate us, brick by brick piece by piece.

If there has to be a war, then so be it. We are already been blown to smithereens by being waiting for the next blast after the blast.

In any case we must not die like sitting ducks.

India must be made to pay for all its mischiefs.

India will never ever allow these terrorists to make a peace deal with Pakistan.

زندگی

اک معمہ ہے پر اسرار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

زندگی جیسے کہ اک بار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

بات بنتی ہی نہیں راز کہ کھلتا ہی نہیں

نسل آدم ہی سزاوار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

وہ تو اچھا ہے جو آ یا نہیں اس دنیا میں

او ر جو آیا ہے وہ لاچار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

مر کہ ہی جانا ہے جنت میں جنھیں جانا ہے

موت کیوں راہ کی د یوا ر ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

درد دل بانٹنے نکلو تو یہی لگتا ہے

جیسے ہر شخص ہی بےزار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

درس دیتے ہیں محبت کا اگر لوگ تو پھر

ہر کوئی د ر پۓ آ ز ا ر ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

کوئی ایسا ہے فرشتوں کو بھی جو مات کرے

دوسرا سخت گنہگار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

ہر خو شی پر رہے بیتاب یہ گرنے کے لیے

غم کہ لٹکی ہوی تلوار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

رات کیوں دن کے تعا قب میں لگی رہتی ہے

پھول کے ساتھ لگا خا ر ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

مر ے اس پیا ر کے بدلے میں جو چھم چھم برسے

ترے طعنو ں کی جو بوچھاڑ ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

حسن کو چا ھیۓ وہ بھی تو کبھی پہل کرے

صرف عاشق ہی طلبگار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

جس کو کہتی ہیں بڑ ے فخر سے قومیں غیرت

ہم نے بیچی سر بازار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے

جس کو کہتی ہیں بڑ ے فخر سے قومیں غیرت. ہم نے بیچی سر بازار ہے ایسا کیوں ہے Saeed Kureshi

Very very touchy.

People with weak heart must not read this story.

I was walking around in a Big Bazar store shopping, when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy couldn’t have been more than 5 or 6 years old..

The Cashier said, ‘I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy turned to the cashier and asked: are you sure I don’t have enough money?”

The cashier counted his cash once again and replied: ”You know that you don’t have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.” The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to. ‘It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much . I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY.

I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.’ His eyes were so sad while saying this. ‘My Sister has gone to be with God.. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister…”

My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: ‘I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.’ Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me ‘I want mommy to take my picture with her so my sister won’t forget me.’ ‘I love my mommy and I wish she doesn’t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.’ Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly..

I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. ‘Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?”

‘OK’ he said, ‘I hope I do have enough.’ I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.

The little boy said: ‘Thank you God for giving me enough money!’

Then he looked at me and added, ‘I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mommy could give It to my sister. He heard me!” ‘I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.’

I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn’t get the little boy out of my mind.

Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the news paper that the young woman had passed away.. I couldn’t stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial.

She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever…

The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Please DO NOT DRINK & DRIVE.

The value of a man or woman resides in what he or she gives, not in what they are capable of receiving.

Indian PM’s speech at UNGA

“India is committed sincerely in resolving all issues with Pakistan, including the issue of Jammu & Kashmir, through bilateral dialogue on the basis of Simla Agreement,” he said. India considers the UN resolutions as outdated.

Mr. Indian PM, going by your analogy then the UN it self is outdated, because it is even older than the UNSC’s Kashmir resolution which demands for holding plebiscite to give the right of self determination to the Kashmiri population to determine their choice for living with Pakistan or India.

Indian PM addressing the UNGA today has said that Indian held Kashmir, is an integral part of India.
The question is then why India has allowed UN observers in Kashmir?

Fundamental change in the Indian policy.

For the first time in the history (when yesterday Indian PM went to White House to lodge a complaint to Barack Obama about bilateral issues between India and Pakistan), there has been a radical change in the Indian policy that India will not accept any third party intervention or mediation, in settlement of issues between Pakistan and India.

So, now India has officially inducted America, as a mediator for resolving bilateral issues of Pakistan and India.

Pity on world’s largest democracy..!

Unfortunately, Pakistan cricket teams’ performance since the last SA tour, has gone down so low that we got defeated by the Zimbabwe’s team, not only in an ODI match, but in one Test match, as well.

Mr. Najam Sethi, the Eid-ul-Zuha is coming, any chance of granting bonus to our players for the Eid sacrifice, after all the team has come victorious in series from the Zimbabwe tour? :

An Open Letter to the President of Pakistan (written after SA tour on 27 March, 2013).

Mr. Asif Ali Zardari

Dear Sir,

As, it may well be in your knowledge, that the game of cricket, is the biggest passion of the masses of Pakistan.

Any victory of our cricket team boosts the morale of the people. At the same time defeats of our team, demoralises the entire nation.

However, since our people are very knowledgable about the game of cricket, they back our team even when it’s defeated, if the players have gone down fighting. But, in any case, tame surrender is never digested and the anger is often vented with slogans, processions and violence against the players and the PCB. People also curse the government, because, every body knows that PCB chairman is appointed only, as a favour by the President.

Mr. President, you appointed Mr. Ijaz Butt, as the chairman PCB; and the whole world knows, how much damage was caused, due to his sheer incompetence, to the name and image of the country and the game of cricket, due to his sheer incompetence.

Again, you appointed Ch. Zaka Ashraf (who is your known buddy), but the way our team has suffered and its performance has gone down from bad to worse (mainly due to highest degree of management failures at the PCB level), is not hidden from anybody.

The latest debacle in South African tour, is an eye opener.
In Test matches, we were white washed 3-0; and we also created our lowest innings score record, by being all out at 49 runs.

We won the only T20 match played in the 2 matches series, just because South Africa didn’t field their B team, but they selected their C level team, as an experiment to give a chance to their youngsters.

In the ODI series, Pakistan lost 3-2 in a very comprehensive manner.

In Pakistan, there is no dearth of talent of the young and upcoming players, but the PCB went to such an extent that it recalled Younis Khan, from the retirement and inducted him into the ODI team.

The whole tenure of Ch. Zaka Ashraf bespeaks of inertia and of not adopting the policy of investing in future. Mostly, the man management policies of the PCB has been retrogressive, which has resulted in an immense damage, to the future of cricket in Pakistan.

Mr. Iqbal Qasim, who was made chief selector, made such huge blunders like dropping Abdur Rehman, Junaid Khan and Ahmad Shahzad from the T20 World Cup team. This man Iqbal Qasim, was such a HUGE failure in his last tenure as chief selector, that he had to resign from the post, after the team lost 14 consecutive matches in a trot.

This fact can be gauged from the ground reality, that the 11 players which played Sunday’s ODI, included 6 oldies namely, Misbah, Younis Khan, Shoaib Malik, Kamran Akmal, Imran Farhat & Shahid Afridi, who are known spent cartridges and past their prime. While very talented youngster, Ahmad Shahzad was sent back to Pakistan, after the only T20 match he played in South Africa. Moreover, two more youngsters Omar Akmal and Abdur Rehman, where not given a chance to play even a single ODI, during the 5 matches series.
Besides, the cases mentioned above, there is a long list of other failures of the present chairman PCB. It looks the English language idiom “Everyone rises to their level of incompetence” exactly fits on your close buddy, whom you made the chairman PCB.

Now, the stage has come that even Ijaz Butt, is looking genius, in comparison with Ch. Zaka Ashraf.
The failures of PCB are bringing a very bad name to you and your party.

As such, it is suggested that some very competent and high calibre person of international repute and stature like Mr. Raza Rabbani, Mr. Aitzaz Ahsan, Ms Asma Jahangir, Mr. Razzaq Dawood, Mr. Mian Mansha, Syed Baber Ali, Mr. Zafar Hilali, Mr. Shamshad Ahmad or Vice Admiral (R) Mahmood Ahmad Khan may be appointed the chairman PCB, with specific task of re-vamping the structure of the domestic cricket of Pakistan, to bring it at a level, where foreign players will be attracted, to play our domestic cricket; and secondly, Pakistani cricket teams of all the three versions of the game, must attain world # 1 ranking, in a given time period.

Best regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
