Writing a blogpost?

We all love writing! Trust me we all do or at least love the tick tick produce when your super fast fingers strike the keyboard.

I mean sometime it looks so cool writing any random latrum patrum that comes to your mind - Wait, its my blog right ? My choice what language or word i use . Pretending yourself being a philosopher, telling others your passion for blogging and writing on the social causes etc and etc. No wonder, credit goes to the local clients, products and service who recently started inviting social media activist to their media launches considering them as "Bloggers". Now, everybody around who is ACTIVE on social media is a blogger.

So what i believe is, its not important to write. In fact more important to communicate -

Communication is always two sided - deliver and receive. If you are writing long threads on social causes and despite readership, your society is unable to interpret you - then its a complete disaster.

Also, for many - its too difficult to update blogs daily thus dumped down. Do you really think opinion matters ? Do you trust my words ? Do you trust YOUR own words ?

Find yourself and the way you want to write somewhere in these last tines. Ciao!

Ajmal Kasab Hanged; Another chapter closed

26th November, 2011 was that unfortunate date when 166 people were slayed by 10 terrorists in financial hub of one of the world's most populated state, India. The 25-year-old Kasab was one of 10 gunmen who laid siege to the city in this attack. During the attacks, the heavily-armed gunmen stormed targets in Mumbai including luxury hotels, a Jewish center, a hospital and a bustling train station.

Kasab initially pleaded not guilty at his trial but later confessed that he is one of the gunmen being sent to create unrest in the city. He was sentenced to death in May 2010 after he was found guilty of a string of charges, including waging war against India, murder and terrorist acts.

Kasab appealed in the Supreme Court, claiming he did not receive a fair trial but his petition was struck down in August. During his appeal, Kasab argued that he was denied proper legal representation and that some charges against him were not proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

“I was denied a fair trial,” Kasab said in a statement when his appeal hearing began in January. “I may be guilty of killing people and carrying out a terrorist act but I am not guilty of waging war against the state.”

Allah qasam maaf karna, aisi galthi dobara nahi hogi' (I swear by Allah, please forgive me, such a mistake won't be repeated) were the last words uttered by terrorist Ajmal Kasab when he was being taken to the gallows at the Yerawada central prison here at 7.30 am on Wednesday. Sources said Kasab was speaking incoherently for a while until the lever was pulled.

The entire process was very well planned but carried out very secretly. Even the local administration of the police station was not aware of it. Surprisingly, Ajmal also didn’t show any resistance while moving towards the gallows.

Ajmal’s death is one of the quickest penalties implied over terrorism crimes since independence. the nation was criticizing since long and demanding quick decisions on this case. However, after the news appeared in print, electronic and social media many celebrated it. Indian High Commission has informed Pakistan about the decision.

Mr. Rehman Malik on the other side

I won’t claim myself as person who always see the positive side of any aspect or the person who find the glass always half full. In fact I am one of those who believe in digging things down, understandings the inner cause or exploring out the different thing.


Yesterday and today early morning, when my Facebook wall was full of Uncle Banana’s and Mr. Red & Yellow Tie’s joke (and trust me I literally burst out laughing on few of those) I came across a very different picture of Mr. Malik. Out of curiosity I clicked on the picture to find the real news.

The news was posted by Business Recorder in Today’s paper showing Rehman Malik holding the coffin to offer funeral of martyred ASI. Yesterday in an encounter with car-lifters in G-9 Islamabad, he lost his life making the lifting attempt a failure.

Continue reading the same story, came to know that Minister Rehman Malik announced “Sitara-e-Shujaat” for the martyred ASI Muhammad Riaz. A cash reward of 3,000,000 Rs, a residential plot for the family and permanent job with rank equivalent to ASI in Islamabad Police for son and nephew of the Martyred ASI.

We rarely see such pictures online, such news in our daily Editions. May be because there are very few incidents where Government of Pakistan considering showing its generosity to the people of Pakistan.

I don’t how many of you will find the positivity in this news or picture; I am not pro Uncle Banana. But I believe hope still exists. There are people who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the betterment of this country and then there are people who recognize, value and salute their efforts.

May Allah rest the martyred soul in Peace.

Good Bye Taseer, Good Bye Liberalism

Very usual trend in Pakistan that is followed by politicians, media and now I am following the same; exploring a personality after his demise.

Salman Taseer was not an ordinary name. Born in 1946 and assassinated in 2011, the man left behind a lot of controversies to resolve. Belonging to the family of literates and great thinkers, and he himself was an intellectual who always had a different and outstanding opinion on controversial issues that lead him to success in business world but unfortunately many enemies in his political career.

The story started from Meher Bukhari’s show at Samaa Television. Salman Taseer was interviewed and there he declared his support to Asia Bibi, the lady who was sentenced to death by Court under Blasphemy Law. That was another controversy which I am not and don’t even want to discuss here.

Salman Taseer was a blunt speaker who always commented openly and straight forwardly on various issues either political or religious. His was a frequent user of Twitter, an emerging social networking tool, to give his personal opinion about different issues. This was and is another reason of his huge followership.

Salman Taseer lived the life of controversy and died leading to many more. In his life many political and religious leaders had issues not only with his open statement, but also with his western influenced lifestyles, the family’s way of celebrating weekends and parties (which is very common even in religious leaders though) and most importantly with the soft corner in his heart for non-muslims and Ahmedis specifically.

Jan 4, 2011 in Islamabad near his house in F-6, he was assassinated by an armed guard who shot him 27 bullets using AK-47. I was shocked at the brutal and insane killing of a human and a leader this way just in the name of Love for Messenger who himself said “killing one human is killing whole humanity”. But that was not it, the response from Ummah of Beloved Prophet (P.B.U.H) was even more insane and showed their insensitivity.

A huge sms campaign started right away, congratulating each other on his death. The notifications of early closure officers brought cheer for them; everybody was busy spreading messages of vacancy for the post of Governor of Punjab. The so called “Ulemas” whom this nation follows blindly asked people not to spread regrets and express sympathies on his assassination. Not only this, the other day many refuse to offer his Namaz-e-Jinaza. According to them, “Those favoring the person indulged in blasphemy are themselves blasphemous, they announced. Paying glowing tributes to Malik Mumtaz Hussain, and his courage, who killed Governor Salman Taseer, they said he is lover of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and is a ‘Ghazi’. Mumtaz had revived the 14-century-old tradition of Islam and put their head high in pride. It was only Prophet (PBUH) who could forgive any act of blasphemy but none other could ever do it”

After reading this, I am feeling ashamed of myself, calling myself and feeling myself part of this land, part of this group of people. I am a Muslim but unfortunately neither Quran, nor my parents or teachers taught me these definitions of being a Good Muslim. I belong to the religion who spread the message of peace not only among muslims but in the overall humanity. Please tell me one thing today - I don’t belong to this community, or these people
