Life at 26

My last blog was posted in January 2017. Eight months have been passed. Its 10 th of Muharram the day when Shiite Muslim mourns the dreadful demise of Hazrat Imam Hussein. Its 2: 30 in afternoon at my Office (Ravi Center, Quetta) I just finished my work and started writing this piece. 2017 isn’t year of great achievements for me so far, but it can be as I am waiting for my interview which is to be conducted by Baluchistan Public service commission, I passed the test conducted for the post of Hydro-geologist in Ramadan this year and now eagerly waiting for my interview, If I get selected which I wish more than anything at moment, the last quarter of the year can still be fruitful in terms of any big achievement. What I do during the day? I get up early at 7:45 these days, take a shower, take my brake fast, and then I left for my office at 8:50, take a 10-minute ride on motorcycle to office, sits on God damn table designed by me but built off course by carpenter. I mostly sit ...

Bacha Khan's Death Anniversary

January 20 th of 2016 is death anniversary of one of my favorite personality Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan aka Bacha Khan, the man who has influenced me to great extent by his great work, and fortunately he is not religious figure rather a political and Peace keeping activist. It blows my thoughts that how difficult it would be or even impossible it would be to tell and convince someone to treat rightfully their women, and to settle differences among tribesman, and to let their daughters get education in early 1900, and if you have to convince Pashtuns you will have surely need guts to do so, even today I have found it much difficult to convince Pashtuns to vaccinate their children in order to prevent Polio. Bacha Khan did convince them on plenty of issues in early 1900 when people were much narrow minded and were more affected by conspiracy theories than today. Bacha Khan's portrate by Khudai Khidmatgar Hamdullah Arbab of Jalalabad Bacha Khan has huge impact on Pashtun’s h...

FALLEN GIANTS

  If you have mourned the demise of Hamid Gul enough and are in your nerves now, I would like you to have some words for Shuja Khanzadah. The two giants fallen within the time span of one week, but in totally different ways, the former died due to brain hemorrhage the latter died in the line of duty. Hamid Gul God knows had blooded his hands with how many innocent lives. One shouldn’t forget that he was among the main architectures of Zia-ul-Haq’s draconian doctrine. That is hunting public of Pakistan todate.  Isn’t it confusing for Pseudo Patriots that those who flourished under Zia and Hamid Gul’s supervision have martyred Shujah Khanzadah, but to many of us Hamid Gul is hero; and Shujah Khanzadah is man like many other killed in the line of duty. Some are praising Hamid Gul for his Pan Islamist Ideologies and his services for Muslim Umah. I would say that  are they out of their minds? There is nothing for any in service man (specially for ISI chief) like Mus...
