The Voice of Silence:



Anyone who has experienced a typical Pakistani wedding can understand why after a few days all different varieties of curries, rice, salads and desserts look and taste the same.

Anyone who has ever held a colour palette in his/her hand would know how all the colours loose their distinct identity once mixed with another colour.

Lately the variety of different intellectual opinions have done just that. To me all the distinctness and difference seems to have merged into a single live, pulsating being. All voices lost in the sound of the chorus.

It doesn't matter really how loud you say it or how good your voice is. It doesn't matter even how right it is.

The only thing that matters now is who succeeds in staying silent.

The voice of silence is often stronger than what  we perceive.

The director in an orchestra is the Master and the master is silent.

Directing the voices.

The chorus has lost direction. It's becoming extremely chaotic. Too much mixing and too many choices are destroying beauty and harmony. Making everyone impatient, frustrated and at war within and without.

We need more directors. More people who have the stamina to stay silent and direct the chorus. Ofcourse that means giving up on ones own voice!

ON RESPONSIBILITY!

The seemingly inconsequential fly buzzed around incessantly from one nose to another. Some were totally oblivious to its existence, Some bore its buzzing with a somewhat irritated expression while others shooed it away with a wave of their hand. Eventually,  it dived into a teacup. All hell broke loose. “Who let the fly in?”, “What a mess”, “Such a crappy building”, “Who left the window open?” “Who opened the window?”, “Why can’t you put a lid on your cup?”, “Why don’t we have fly screens for these doors and windows?”, “Why don’t we have a fly repellent?” A guy sitting on the far end folded his magazine and squatted the fly as soon as it landed on his desktop. That was ‘The End’ for the fly. (inspired from a real-life scene) We can roughly categorise the two kinds of behaviours/personalities described in the scenario above as ‘reactive’ and ‘proactive’. Out of these two our people fall into the ‘reactive’ category. A nation of reactive individuals who are not willing to...

The truth unveiled!

VALENTINE’S DAY The truth unveiled 'Every deen has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty.' Al Muwatta 47.9 HOW IT STARTED: Like most Christian festivals, the origin of Valentine’s Day also lies in the pagan Rome. In ancient Rome young men and women used to celebrate this festival where the women would write love letters and throw them in a huge pot. Then the men would choose their partners through lottery and would court (relationship before marriage) the girl whose letter came in their hands. (Webster’s family encyclopedia). According to the encyclopedia this festival has no direct or indirect link to the life of Saint Valentine (269 A.D). To make Christianity more popular and acceptable among the pagan masses, the Christian clergy added this festival to Christianity by celebrating this day as Saint Valentine’s Day. The myths regarding Saint Valentine giving his life for the sake of love and others are all false. WHERE DO WE ST...
