For the children of Gaza

Dua bhi dil sei nahi nikalti, kaisey nikley? Kahein issey bhi shuba hai kei iss ka asar khatm ho gaya gai. kaisey na ho, pichley baras bhi dua kei thei aman kei, insaaf kei, sachaei kei, laikin iss baras bhi aghaz hei iss khooni tarah hoa kei dua ghut gaei. Masoomoon ka gham, un kei din aur raat kei chain gum honey ka gham, bachoon kei masoomiat khatm honey ka gham...kaisey khatm hoei masoomiat? Iss yaqeen kei khatm honey sei kei ghar kei char diwaari woh faseel nahi jisey gola barood cheer na sakein. yehi tou hota hai bachoon ka yaqeen, kei unke maa baap unhein hur museebat, hur dukh sei bacha saktey hain, Khuda kou bachey kahan jantey hain, yehi tou un ke Khuda hotey hain, yehi yaqeen tou pehchaan dilata hai Khuda ka, ab yeh bachey kiss ka yaqeen karein? Kiss khuda ka?

Aur hum? Hum kya karein? Cheekhein, chilaein, qalam azmaein, sadkoon pei aaein, laikin kyun? Kiss kou bacha paein gei hum? Hur maut, aik mayoosi choodh jaati hai, akhir taqat kei phir fath hoi aur kamzoor phir mara gaya...kaisey na mara jaey, uss nei apna rasta khud chuna jub kei ussey tou haq tha hei nahi aisa karney ka. Kiss nei diya ussey yeh haq? Hamas kou chuna? Ab bhugto! Yehi hai tumhara anjaam.....

Fantasy or reality: Where do we want to live?

An eagle is told that it once lived in huge nests on high mountains and tall trees at high altitudes and the big bird scoffs at such a preposterous idea. How can such a big bird living in caves and hunting on rodents soar in the skies over mountain tops and oceans. Not a bad idea but quite unlikely. Seems like these humans are crazy and think of anything about other animals to hide their own embarrassment over their monkey ancestry. Pick up any great novel, Hundred Years of Solitude, Blindness, Beloved, Alchemist or any others that you have read where imagination is stretched but you flow with the narrative. You easily believe what the writer is asking of you. It seems plausible and hence possible and you like a bird open your wings and fly where the winds of possibilities take you. Marquez creates a parallel world of freedom and we camp in this world with him; Morrison brings a spirit from the dead and we unblinkingly accept her character; Saramago presents a sightless world to us ...

2022 as a Watershed Moment in Climate Change Discourse

 When history is written, 2022 will be seen as a watershed year when all predictions by climate scientists will be seen to have come true and in public eye!   The year began with a scorching heatwave in March across India, Pakistan with temperatures crossing well over 40C. Temperature of 49.7C was recorded in Nawabshah in Pakistan. These temperatures were the highest ever recorded in March in this region since records began in 1901.   In Bangladesh, from April to July, the country was hit by the worst floods in its history, killing more than a 100 people and displacing millions. According to news reports, most people died from drowning, snake bites and lightening. When the floods hit in April the rice crop was standing in the fields and only half ripe. For a country of 160 million that relies on rice to feed its people further disaster awaits in the guise of crop failure and famine.   https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/south-asia/flood-in-bangladesh-death-toll-...

'National Unity and Consensus'

Minority affairs Minister in India, AR Antulay is in the midst of a media created controversy when he raised suspicion in the death of anti terrorism chief Hemant Karkare , our own opposition leader Mr. Nawaz Sharif created headaches for the government when he questioned the cordoning off of the village where the alleged Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Qasaab is reported by Indian media to hail from. AR Antulay asked why didn't Karkare with two other senior police officers travel to critical areas of terrorist activities on that fatal day like Oberoi , Taj or Narimen house and why all three senior people travelled in the same vehicle which apparently is a breach of protocol. Nawaz Sharif in the same vein has asked why the government is not allowing media to enter the village and question Ajmal Qasaab's family? Only two things can come out of it, either he does belong to that village in which case his family will explain that he has been missing for the last couple of ye...
