Pakistan Is India...

Pakistani people are very sentimental. They would often get very sad about the fact that the western world knows not much about Pakistan and they're always like "Oh! is it somewhere near "India"? well! given the history of both countries Pakistani people would get all worked up. But I have two good reasons to tell them to relax!

1- Thankfully Pakistan's on good terms with her neighbor now and

2- Well Come'on! Lets be honest! India's been there for centuries. It is obviously more famous than Pakistan.

But there is something funny about the fact that India is not India! and Pakistan is India! Surprised? Let me take you a few years back. Like a couple of centuries back?

See, when Aryans invaded or as many other historians might say "came" or "happened upon" this part of the earth there was this sea that they began to call "Sindhu" but when Persians came here they translated it in their language and began calling it "Hindu"- oh n here i would like to tell you that "Hindu" is not a religion, it is used to refer to people who belong to the surroundings of "Hindu" river and when Greek came into the equation, they changed the name to "Indu". And well, as I hear, Greeks have this habit of putting an additional "S" after words so the river came out to be known as "INDUS" which is why the state was named "India"

As for 1947, Pakistan and India became independent states and the rest you, generally speaking, would know! But The Indus River became a part of "PAKISTAN" and the land which was not "INDIA" began to be called so. Quoting "Aik Din Geo K Saath"... "Kia Yeh Khulla Tazaad Nahi?" ;-)

India is a misnomer for the place it is called so, by. Bharat would be the appropriate name and  also... lets not forgot, Pakistan also has several things to be proud of so lets not feel bad about it. Its just a little Irony! 

In My Life..

(Written in June, 2007)

I'm Just Another Human Being Sent To This Earth To Do Something Good And Creative Fer My Self, Fer The People I Love And In Short , Something Good Fer This World..

Life Has Made Me See The Height Of Excitment And Height Of Frustration Simultaneously.. 

In My Life...

I've Tasted The Sweetness Of Victory .. And Have Come Across And Tasted The Bitter Taste Of Defeat Too

At Tymz I've Been So Over Whelmed With Joy That I Thought I Could Not Contain It ...And At Tymz I've Been So OverWrought With Sorrow That I Belived I Could Not Bear Another Moment Of It!

I've Been So Optimistic That There Aint A Single Dream Of Mine That I Was Not Convinced I Could Make A Reality .. But There Were Tymz ..When I Was So Discouraged That I Dint Dare To Dream...

In My Life...

I've Lived With Hope And Been Magnificiantly Empowered

And I've Been Hopeless And Powerless Too... At Tymz I've Been Admired So Openly That It Was Almost Embarassing .. And Some Tymz I've Been Despised So Deeply That I Felt Like Crawling Away And Hiding.. 

I Did The Wrong And Been Done Wrong To.. And I've Apologised And Felt The Amazing Healing .. I've Forgiven And Have Felt The Amazing Freedom

And..

I've Been Charitable And Made A Difference In SomeOne's Life And 've Accepted Charity Which Made A Difference In My Life .. And Tymz I've Been Selfish And Made A Difference To No One !

I've Been A Symbol Of Love Fer My Parents, Siblings, Friends And Strangers .. And Some Tymz A Coward To All Of Them 

The Biggest Lesson That I Learnt Was That I'll Never Do Wrong By Doing Anything Fer The Right Reason And I'll Neva Be Right By Doing Any Thing Fer The Wrong Reason

Now May I Ask...

In Yer Life???

Terrorism is NOT a Muslim Monopoly- an inspiration from the lecture of Dr. Zakir Nayak

(Written in March 2008)


"Not All Muslims Are Terrorists But All Terrorists Are Definitely Muslims!" A Commonly Heard Statement! 

I Condemn!! 

"Terrorism Has Become A Systematic Weapon Of War That Knows No Boundries And Seldom Has A Religion" 

Islamic Extremism Or Rather Islamic Terrorism Is A Controversial Statement In Itself. People To Be Called Islamic Extremists Are, In Fact Only Extremists And Not Islamic! 

Think Of A Molvi Who Prays Five Tymz A Day, But When Comes Out Of The Mosque, Beats A Poor Like An Animal Only Because His Gadha Gaari Was A Hurdle To His BMW; 

Another Molvi Whose Wife Dies After Struggling With A Disease For 8 Long Years Just Because He Dint Take Her To A Male Doctor Coz The Doctor Is A Na Mehram, Neither To A Female Doctor Because The "DOCTOR" Does Not Follow Hijaab... 

Or A Molvi Who Beats A Student In Front Of The Entire University Because He Was Seen Talking To A Girl & Himself Is Found In The Nearby Caf'e With His Latest Girl Friend 10 Minutes Later... 

If These Molvies Are Going To Project Our Religion Then Where Would Teachings Of Prophet (P.B.U.H) Go? And What Good Would Teachings Of Scholars Like Zakir Nayak Could Do ? These People Violating Human Rights In The Name Of Islam Are True To Be Called Extremists But I Doubt If They Are To Be Called Islamic Or Not !

Its Time To Ponder Over The Critical Question: " Who Moderate Muslims Are And Who Are Extremists?"

To Me, Both The Terms Are Incorrect. The Word Islam Itself Explains The Nature Of The Religion. Islam Means “Acquiring Peace By Submitting Yer Will To God” And God Above All Is Merciful n’ Benevolent. Millions Of Muslims Pray Five Tymz A Day n’ Their Prayers Start With The Words “In The Name Of God, The Most Merciful, The Most Beneficent” So Clearly! If Mercy Is The Primary Quality Of God, It Is The Quality Muslims Are First Called Upon To Imitate n’ Practice! 

All Muslims Are Instructed To Struggle Towards The Good Called “Jihad” n’ No Word In Modern Tymz Has Been More Misunderstood Than Jihad; By Muslims n’ Non Muslims Alike. 

Difference Between Jihad In Islam n’ Extremism Is Like The Earth n’ The Sky ! 

Though Muslims, Or Rather Islam Has Started To Be Recognized As A Religion Of Terror Sinces 70s n’ 80s But Since September 11 It Has Been Officially Labeled So!

A BomB Goes Off In Jerusalem, A Suicide Bomber Enters Into A Bus Full Of Women n’ Children n’ The List Of Many Such Events Have Undoubtedly Affected The Muslims World Wide. 

Now Any Muslim Who Wants To Practice His/Her Religion Or Expresses The Pious Desire To Live Under The Banner Of Islam Is Labeled A Fundamentalist Or Extremist. Any Muslim Man Walking Down The Busy Streets Of London With A Beard On His Face Is Looked Upon As Being A Terrorist, Any Muslim Woman Who Is Veiled Cannot Go Anywhere In The Western World Without Being Taunted As Being Opressed Or Being Mad ! 

Is It Justified? No!! Because If THIS Would Have Been The Criteria To Judge A Religion By The Conduct Of Its Minority; We Too Could Have Said That All The Christianity Is About Child Molesting n’ Homosexuality n’ All The Hinduism Is About Looting n’ Breaking Mosques … But Generalizing In Such A Manner Is Not Seen To Be Objective!!
