Shikayat.

"Zamana bra hai. Aur aaj kal k log bhut brey aur khudgharz hain".

      This is that very principle we embrace everyday with our morning tea - before going out of home to face the world. And there is no good in arguing with someone over this fact; or may it be a fiction or misinterpretation of our daily life experiences with other people. (And by the way i personally feel that its merely an assumption because of the lack of the right "self perception' of ours. And, by the way, this very term i used, 'self perception', i read it for the first time in a Business Communication book about a month ago - for the first time in my whole academic career of about 16 years.). You might be thinking why i mentioned about Business communication book. Like many other hints i will give you in this blog this is the first of them (because i cannot write all the things inside me in one blog so i will be giving hints about them.) and the hint behind it is that, if we are taught about Business Communication only once is a 16 years of academic course then when we will be taught about the Social Communication with all the details our religious and cultural history left for us.

      "No one cares for the animals on the roads when one is riding or driving a bike or a car respectively. They don't even bother to slow down the speed when they see a dog on the road.", after saying these words to my mother who was with me in the car and we both saw how the man ahead of us didn't bother to save a dog, from his speeding car, which was in the middle of the road, i uttered some words that made me write this blog today. My words were:

"Yeh log tou ek kuttey ko ni bacha sktey tou ek insan ko kesey bachaingey!". 

      I am half embarrassed and half angry over humans of Pakistan. And more than at our people I am angry at our rulers. And that's how the death of Abdul Sattar Edhi affected me. And I was all in disgust after hearing the news of this great man's death. He was ill since a long time and i heard on TV that he had been very upset after that robbery incident that occurred about, 2 years ago if i am not wrong.

      The first two paragraphs are greatly linked to each other even if it doesn't seem so. Some might say that humans are more important but animals are not, and hence my proverb is wrong. I should have said, "Ye log tou ek insan ko ni bacha sktey tou ek kuttey ko kesey bachaingey!". 

      The time we are living through says that no one is trust worthy - but having said that - it doesn't declare that time is so bad that even the dogs should be crushed under the vehicles. Time has changed humans but it didn't change the animals. We find it easy to have a dog than to have a watchman at our house.
"Kia aj ka insan itna gir gya hai?"
      Now whoever reads this I have this above question for him/her. And would love to be helped in understanding this mystery we are watching with our eyes that some days ago appeared in the form of Amjad Sabri. And now it appeared in the form of Edhi, who had been the greatest of all the philanthropists but still lived a simple life and yet he was threatened by the political parties. And i would like to ask a question for our Media as well;  

      It was a great day when Edhi was born. But Today when that man died, all of you so actively produced the coverage of this incident that I felt confused. Is today the great day now that Edhi is not alive anymore.
      "Zamana bura nhi hai janab. Hamarey dil murda ho gaey hain."

      If we were good and yet other's weren't fair to us then at least we couldn't have the dare to see a dog die in the middle of the road after being hit with our car. But even if that was an accident we could have stopped the car and should have gotten off the car to see that innocent creature. But we didn't. I too could have said that Edhi died of a natural cause. But I didn't and you might call me a pessimist for that. But then i will call you numb and senseless. It wont be long when we will forget about all these mysteries that doesn't make a sense to me because i have read iqbal who once said:

Kabhi ae nojawan muslim tadabbur bhi kia tune     Woh kia gerun tha tou jiska hai ek tota hua tara

 Janab Sitara bhut bara hota hai. Agr uska ek chota sa tukra bhi zameen pr gir jay tou yahan ki zameen k daweydaaron ko bhi hila kr rkh dey.
