A Friday Outing

One seriously needs an outing after a busy week of working. I was thinking about a Friday outing since summer has started. finally a week before election this wish came true. Mangala, Shayla killi or Sra Ghurghi, an area having three different names is quickly getting famous as weekend picnic point near Quetta city. Hanna Lake and Hanna Orak valley is relatively an old and much crowded picnic points of Quetta city, but Mangala or Shayla killi or Sra Ghurghi will share the crowds of these two much crowded points of city.

Unlike Hanna Lake and Hanna Orak the Mangala has large area with a stream of Fresh water, flowing through the mountains, a grassy plain and a water filled Dam near the main entrance of the area.

Dam near the main entrance

The security situation isn't ideal through out Baluchistan, but one feel safe due to proper checking of vehicles since the security check post has been built at the main entrance.
          My previous trips to Mangala were not as beautiful as last one. Enough spring rain after a period of drought came up with much greenery, seasonal red and yellow flowers were also adding beautiful colours to the Area...

Khabaram raseeda imshab (Tonight there came a news)

Image
The very first time I heard Persian song few years back in my friends wedding concert, i fell in sever love with this language, Persian is a very poetic, soft and song-like language and has been described as one of the most beautiful languages of the world, though Persian is to some minor extent being thought here in Pakistan and being spoken here, but still not familiar to be speak by everyone. Apart from all this it makes you feel happy and energetic when it comes to Persian being sung by Fareed Ayaz renowned for his Qawali. Surfing through a Vimeo a week ago i found this song of Fareed Ayaz and Abu Muhammad sung in Coke studio session 5. A week has passed since i heard this song very first time, but not a single day has passed in the entire week that i missed watching this clip of him. Khabaram raseed imshab ki nigaar khuahi aamad; Sar-e man fidaa-e raah-e ki sawaar khuahi aamad. Ham-e aahwan-e sehra sar-e khud nihada bar kaf; Ba-umeed aanki rozi bashikaar khuahi aamad

RIP Habib Mohebian

I just found that one of great Persian singer and song writer Habib Mohebian, commonly known as Habib has passed away, the news of his demise has been shared by his fellow singer Ebi on Facebook. May his soul rest in eternal peace, at these sad moments I want to extend my condolences to his family and fans around the world. I would love to give tributes to him by sharing one of my all time favourite song of him. من مرد تنهای شبم مهر خموشی بر لبم تنهاو غمگین رفته ام دل از همه گسسته ام تنهای تنها،غمگین و رسوا تنها و بی فردا منم من مرد تنهای شبم مهر خموشی بر لبم من مرد تنهای شبم صد قصه مانده بر لبم از شهر تو منرفته ام کوله بارمرا بسته ام بی فکر فردا، با خود و تنها عابر این شب ها منم بی فکر فردا، با خود و تنها عابر این شب ها منم من مرد تنهای شبم مهر خموشی بر لبم من مرد تنهای شبم صد قصه مانده بر لبم

Ramadan, Islam's Holiest Month...

Image
The days of holy month drew on that quickly that those who feared of long duration and difficulties of fasting just before starting of month are now pleased enough of God blessings upon them.  Just like last year when people started observing fasts from mid July to mid August, they extended further to the harsher days of summer from early July to early August as their fasting days this time. They feared then and they feared Now, questioning their abilities of fasting in these harsh summer`s days. To our belief God blessing are upon all those who fast in the holy month of Ramadan, but we fear of hardships of fasting beside our belief of what God has promised (doubting the blessing and mercy of God). For instance think of spending a whole long day of July without consuming a drop of water, toughest job of its kind.  But we did it, living in tropical and sub tropical environment such as that found in Pakistan where the temperature in July often exceeds 50 Degree Celsi
