The dream sellers

The dream sellers:

What the mind can conceive it can achieve! Man conceived a place where delusions and deceptions could be turned into a reality thus the ‘idiot box’!
One can’t really blame the young generation for thinking that patience is to wait while the vending machine processes their request or the video uploads or downloads 😏.  Two complete generations used to getting a result at a push of a button cannot recognise what strive and struggle is, what patience is.
Just yesterday after about a month I sat down with the kids to see what they were watching. I saw only two advertisements .
Kids saying:
میری ہر خوشی بسکونی!
If only this could actually happen! 🙄
These people need to meet our children and understand that happiness is not as simple as bisconni!

Men on motorcycles holding on to women saying:
گرپ سروس جیسی تو فکر کیسی!
One wonders for a moment at what he’s actually saying and what he’s holding on to. Genius! Pure genius!
Not only do the dreads in the tyre help one in holding on to one’s dear life while on a motorcycle but they also act as a natural adhesive in holding on to relationships! ( sitting on the bike behind you)

Amazingly talented people these. Magicians ! Dream sellers! They sell a two minute dream and we buy it everytime! I just wonder sometimes that when we finally wake up will our reality be as pleasing and normal as Peter’s or will it have turned into a nightmare while we were busy buying newer and longer dreams!

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...
