On Cue:




 Once I stopped one of my kids from drawing with markers on the wall, the younger one pointed out quite truthfully that "Mama you didnt stop Api from doing the same on the other wall"

I went and checked the wall and saw that he was telling the truth. I went back to him and told him that he was right I hadnt stopped Api because I wasnt aware of what she had done and that she had set a precedent for others to follow. I reassured him that Api would suffer the same fate as him if they didnt stop.

Kids! :)

It was interesting to hear the PM's speech yesterday. His optimism for a better democratic future of Pakistan was uplifting yet his insistence on accepting "China's version of the Ughiyurs" was deeply disturbing.

He pointed out the hypocritical silence of the west on kashmir issue and its extra focus on Chinese atrocities in Xinjiang rather than indian atrocities in Kashmir.

This insistence on denying human rights abuses just because of US hypocrisy is not 'reason' nor sense! Its merely rhetoric to draw attention away from a very important human rights abuse issue.

International hypocrisy on the Kashmir issue need not be answered with more hypocrisy. How about an "absolutely not!" to human rights abuses everywhere in the world??!!!

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...
