TWO TALES ........ VERY PERTINENT TO US !

SALAM !

Once upon a time during the Movement for Independence 'WE WERE ALIVE'; we could think act, sacrifice and BE WHAT WE WANTED TO BE ....

During the 40s elections one Dr. Farooqi was running for the Assembly seat against whom Muslim League had fielded Nawab Muhammad Ismael.

On the election day Begum Dr. Farooqi cast her vote in favour of ML candidate; she was confronted by the journos as to why she had not voted for her husband? The reply was "NATIONAL INTEREST OUTWEIGHS THE PERSONAL GAINS."

ALAS TIMES HAVE CHANGED, NOW EVERY THING REVOLVES AROUND 'PERSONAL GAINS' .........

But lets close this story and go on to another one: (DERIVED)

■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I am distracted, thinking about myself, and fall inside. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, BUT THE ONES WHO DUG THAT HOLE THERE. I feel disgusted, I AM A VICTIM OF THE IRRESPONSIBILITY OF OTHERS.

■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I PRETEND I DON'T SEE IT, THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. I FALL IN THERE AGAIN. I SHOULD HAVE LEARNT THE LESSON AND SENT SOMEONE TO CLOSE THE HOLE.

■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I see it. I KNOW IT IS THERE BECAUSE I FELL IN THERE TWICE. However, I am someone used to always take the same path. Due to that, I fall into the hole for the third time; it’s the habit.

■ I walk along the street. There is a hole in the sidewalk. I WALK AROUND IT. Soon after I pass the hole, I hear someone yelling — he must have fallen into the hole. The street is closed and I can’t go on.

Lets Pray that someday :
