ONCE IN A WHILE SOMETHINGS SPECIAL DO HAPPEN . . . .

Salam and Duaien ...

Friends what a night it was, NOSTALGIA, SOME ONCE-IN-A-LIFE AURA, SOME HISTORY and AN UNPLAYABLE OVER ... all in one package ... It started with gathering of young and old of Great -27. Col Ijaz Hussain, Col Tayyab, Col Maqbul, Incoming Col of the Battalion ... Brigadier Wajahat coming all at the way from Lahore and bringing along his brother Amb Aizaz Ch ... Col Zakrirya, Tahir and so many more ... Thank you Awaise ...

Missed PM's speech in the aura of 'yadon ki barat' there ... but back in home Youtube provided the whole of that piece of history ... what a speech ... immediately wrote following, expressing my honest to Allah feelings.

Fikr-e-Farsi ... Zikr-e-Abuzar ...

He might have (has) made wrong decisions, avoidable choices ...

He has made many U Turns ...

Most of the times in the last year, he looked lost, spent and clueless ...

His team anything but ...

BUT ...

Today at the podium at UNGA ... he looked a different man, a passionate Muslim, an empathy personified leader, a dignified statesman and A TRUE PAKISTANI ...

World must pay attention on all points explained by him and last THREE MINUTES OF HIS SPEECH ... WHICH SAID IT CLEARLY ... IF WE HAVE TO DIE FOR BELIEF AND HONOUR ... WE WILL WILLINGLY ... BUT THERE WOULD BE CONSEQUENCES ... For the disciples of HITLER and Fun savouring stand-alones.

کبھی انسان کچھ سوچ سمجھ کر کرتا ہے اور کبھی اس سے کچھ سرذد ہو جاتا ہے ۔۔۔

کبھی بناوٹ انگ انگ سے جھلکتی ہے اور کبھی سچای دل و روح و خرد سے اُمڈ اُمڈپڑتی ہے ۔۔۔

اور یہ جنرل اسمبلی والی عمرانی تقریر اسی اُمڈنے کے ذمرے میں آتی ہے ۔ ۔۔

پچھلے سال کے بہت سارے اعمال سے اختلاف کیا جا سکتا ہے لیکن آج گریس کا اظہار نہ کرنا اپنے ساتھ زیادتی ہو گی۔

کھمبا نوچنے کا نہیں ، دل کھولنے کا موقع ہے۔ اختلاف اور تنقید کے مواقع بہت آئیں گے لیکن آج مان لیجئے کہ:-

دیکھنا تقریر کی لذت کہ جو اُس نے کہا

میں نے یہ جانا کہ گویا یہ بھی میرے دل میں ہے

For the PM and any/everybody ...

کی محمدؐ سے وفا تُو نے توووووو ہم تیرے ہیں

یہ جہاں چیز ہے کیا لوح و قلم تیرے ہیں

AND ...

حقِ خود ارادیت کشمیریوں کا حق ۔ ۔ ۔

ظلم رہے اور امن بھی ہو ناممکن ۔ ۔ ۔

ظلم صرف مسلمانوں پر ہی کیوں؟

اسلامی دنیا کے حکمرانوں ۔ ۔ کرتوت بدلو ایمان مت بیچو

Agree that ...

پاکستان عالمِ اسلام کا رہنما ۔

سدا سلامت پاکستان تا قیامت پاکستان

REFLECTION 2:16 PM

SECOND LIFE ... INFERENCES ... FLEXIBILITY ... IMPRUDENCE !

Salam and best wishes ...

Dear friends, saw a viral video where it has been claimed with absolute certainty that Mr. Narendra Modi was a Muslim in his earlier life and Sir Syed Ahmed at that. (Muslims though do not believe in more than one life) ... All of us know that Sir Syed was an educated/enlightened liberal, who believed in human dignity, respect and progress; what grave sin he must have committed to be incarnated as a prejudice personified, hate mongering illiterate butcher of Muslims of Gujarat, Kashmir and India along with other minorities?

Over to the second part ... Friends we humans learn through observation and analysis. Own and others' mistakes guide us to the right path. Inferences illuminate the way and positive action heralds the success. Some learn with due intent and others the hard way.

Not long ago, a man was inducted in our neighbour with love and reverence. Having done the job of the inductors, all of a sudden he was rendered inutile. The indifference so exhibited by his erstwhile adorers made him turn against them. Some painful circumstances and the demand that he be handed over. Powerful and mighty of this world don't take NO as an answer ... so all hell broke loose. Ruins here and ultimate DEFEAT there. Thousands of days, lives and billions worth property/equipment have been gulped by the inflexibility at the part of the belligerents ... BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO PAY HEED TO THE RATIONAL AND SINCERE ADVICE. Now they are switched On and Off ... They Talk, They Walk (out) and again they talk ... One day they will reach some agreement but SEE THE COST ...

That is the Dilemma of us ... humans ... We are normally late in making the decisions especially in respect to the TIME and SPACE dimensions.

A story goes that there was a Maulvi Sahib in a certain village. He was loved by all. He was charismatic and admired by most. He had his estate, property and live stock. He required someone to look that after. He consulted his suave wife who in turn sought advice by one of her dear friends. They recommended the name of a ONE-OF-A-KIND who was one of a kind alright but didn't know a thing about his new assignment. The decay in everything set in ... total annihilation stared but Maulvi Sahib won't budge to any advice whatsoever. Soon the time came when the Maulvi Sahib, sauce wife and the incomparable had to vanish and languished thereafter in thought as to where they had gone wrong. The wizard (council) left for new destinations to render advice elsewhere.

Lessons:-

Sins are to be atoned

Brain and eyes have to remain attentive to perceive and infer

Inferences must lead to positive action

No place for opportunist ... Seek sincere advice from genuine people only

Life goes on ... but ... ETERNITY BELONGS TO ALLAH KARIM ONLY ... so ... try to do best whatever little time is available ... SEEK GOOD ... DO GOOD ...

REFLECTION 1:11 PM

دوسرا جنم ۔ ادراک ۔ لچک اور مزید حماقتیں ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔

سلام اور دعائیں ۔ ۔ ۔

عزیزانِ گرامی ایک وائرل ویڈیو دیکھنے کا اتفاق ہوا جس میں انتہای وثوق سے یہ بتلایا گیا ہے کہ مسٹر نریندرا مودی اپنے پچھلے جنم میں سر سید احمد خان تھے۔ (یہاں یہ وضاحت ضروری ہے کہ مسلمان آواگون پر یقین نہیں رکھتے)، میں تب سے یہ سوچ رہا ہوں کہ سر سید کون سے گناہِ کبیرہ کے مرتکب ہوے کہ اُنھیں یہ سزا ملی۔ کہاں ایک علم کے رسیا، لبرل، اور ترقی پسند انسان اور کدھر ایک متعصب جنونی، نفرت و درندگی کا ظلماتی نشان، ہزاروں انسانوں کا قاتل علم دشمن ۔

اب بلاگ کے دوسرے حصے کی طرف۔ دوستو انسان مشاہدے اور تجزیئے سے سیکھتا ہے۔ دوسروں کی اور اپنی غلطیوں کو مشعلِ راہ بناتا ہے۔ ادراک اسے راہِ عمل دکھاتا ہے اور عمل کامیابی ۔

ہمارے پڑوس میں ماضی قریب میں ایک واقع ہوا۔ ہزار چاہتوں سے لایا گیا شخص جب کام کا نہ رہا تو اس کی واپسی مقصود ہوی۔ حیلے کئے، دردناک واقعات رونما ہوے۔ آخر بات زبان پر آئ کہ حوالے کرو۔ طاقتور انکار سننا پسند نہیں کرتے لیکن بے لچک رویہ اور انکار، انگار برسانے کا سبب ہوے۔ یہ کھنڈر بنے اور شکست اُس کا مقدر ہوا۔ آج کبھی ملتے ہیں اور کبھی ہلتے ہیں۔

نہ جاے ماندن نہ پاے رفتن۔

یہی مسلہ ہے ہم انسانوں کا ، وقت کی قدر نہیں کرتے، جگہ کا احساس نہیں رہتا پھر ہاتھ ملتے ہیں ویلا لنگھ جاے تو کچھ نہیں بنتا۔ کہندے نیں

ویلیوں گھتی ڈومنی گاے ساری رات

ویلے دیاں نمازاں، کویلے دیاں ٹکراں

اسی طرح کہتے ہیں کہ کسی گاوں کے مولوی صاحب نہایت محبوب شخصیت رکھتے تھے۔ پیار، دلار اور چمتکار سب اُن کا حصہ۔ اپنی زمیں، مال اور امانتوں کے لیئے ایک راکھے کی ضرورت۔ اپنی زوجہ محترمہ سے ذکر کیا، انھوں نے اپنی محبوب و رازدان سہیلی سے، جنہوں نے ایک نابغے کی سفارش کی۔ تھا تو نابغہ لیکن کام کا نہ کاج کا۔ جب سب کچھ تباہ ہونے لگا تو گاوں کے لوگوں نے مولوی صاحب کو مشورہ دیا، "کامے کو تبدیل کرو"، لیکن اُن کی ضد کہ نہیں ۔ پھر یہ ہوا کہ نہ مولوی صاحب رہے نہ کاما اور رہی مشورہ دینے والی شیاما تو وہ مولوی صاحب کی بیوی اور مولوی صاحب کو چھوڑ کرکسی اور گامے کی تلاش میں نکل کھڑی ہوی۔

سبق:۔

کبائر کی سزا ملتی ہے

مشاہدہ کے لئے دماغ اور آنکھیں کھلی رہنی چاہہیں

ادراک ہو جاے تو عمل ضروری

اچھے مشیر ناگزیر اور موقع پرست دوستوں سے بچنا لازم

نہیں تو اٹل حقیقت تو ہے ہی

رہے نام اللہ کریم کا

INSIGHT ... not the ... EYESIGHT ... COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE ... and the ... ABUNDANCE !

Salam and Dheron Duaien

Came across this beautiful talk, amazing ... Every word is a پرتوِ خور and to understand what is 'Partave Khur', you have to listen to the speech with intent, concentration and peace...

https://youtu.be/gI_P2qTaeFE

Words won't do justice ... seeing and listening will ... The message there in is:-

ایہہ تَن رب سچے دا حجرہ پا فقیرا جَھاتی ہُو

نہ کر مِنت خواج خضر دی اندر آب حَیاتی ہُو

شوق دا دِیوا بال اَنھیرے لبھی وَست کھڑاتی ہُو

مرن تھیں اَگے مر رہے باہُو جنہاں رَمز پچھاتی ہُو

جو اپنے من میں ڈوب کر سراغِ زندگی پا گیا اُسے معلوم ہو گیا کہ فقیری میں ہی شاہی ہے۔

INSIGHT ... not the ... EYESIGHT ... COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE ... and the ... ABUNDANCE ۔۔۔ All explained.

REFLECTION 5:52 PM

6 September

Salam and Duaien ...

Allah Karim Says in Quran:-

So fight, in the cause of Allah; you are not held responsible except for yourself. And encourage the believers {to join} that perhaps Allah will restrain the [military] might of those who disbelieve. And Allah is Greater in Might and Stronger in (exemplary) punishment. AL-NISA-84

6 September 1965 was the day when a NATION was called in to defend its honour and territorial integrity.

Nostalgia takes me back in time ... a young inquisitive boy ... fully involved ... flashback is still vivid and inspiring. Blackouts, elders' assembly near the only Radio Set of entire village, the thunderous voice of late Shakil Ahmed and rhythmic melodious tone of son of great poet Behzad Lakhnavi, (Anwar Behzad). Passionately shared tales of heroics of Pakistan Armed Forces ... A rock solid Nation from hillocks of Chitagong to the ridges of Landi Kotal ... A UNITED PAKISTAN ... A MOTIVATED NATION.

Emotions ran high, everybody was in THE WAR, some with their lives at stake and others with their belongings. There was no fear of life or losses, only driving force was to fight, live and die for Pakistan.

54 years on ... and ... that Jazba and Junoon of 1965 is the need of the hour.

A whole lot has changed though since then ... one half is not there and remaining is being targeted. The State whose Five-Year Plan was talk of the world then is in the yoke of IMF, FATF and Debit now.

بزرگوں کی روحیں اور وطن کی مٹی پکار پکار کر کہہ رہے ہیں۔

اتحاد، ایمان اور تنظیم

کشمیر جل رہا ہے، کشمیری تڑپ رہے ہیں، فسطائیت برہنہ ناچ رہی ہے۔ بین الاقوامی ضمیر سو رہا ہے۔ اسلامی دنیا ہلاکو کا بغداد ہے، التمش مجبور ہیں لیکن پاکستان کے اندر خالد بن ولید کے ورثا جاگ رہے ہیں اللہ کریم کے فضل و کرم سے۔ ہماری بہادر افواج نے تب بھی اپنے خون سے وطن کی آن بچای تھی اور آج بھی تیار ہیں ہر صورتِ حال سے نبٹنے کے لئے تاکہ ہم چین سے رہیں۔ صرف قومی اتحاد کی ضرورت ہے ۔۔۔ قوم افواج کے پیچھے سیسہ پلای دیوار بنے گی تو کوی دشمن پاکستان کا بال بیکا نہیں کر سکتا۔ ہمیں جذبہِ ستمبر پینسٹھ کو لوٹانا ہے، دنیا کو دکھانا ہے کہ ہم زندہ قوم ہیں، ہمیں اپنی عظمتیں بھی یاد ہیں اور ہزیمتیں بھی۔ ستمبر لوٹے گا تو دسمبر دھلے گا ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔ اور۔ ۔ ۔

ستمبر ضرور لوٹے گا۔ انشا۶اللہ

وطنکےلیئے
چمنکےلیئے
گِلکےلیئے
گُلکےلیئے
جوانوںکےلیئے
پاسبانوںکےلیئے
عزموعملکےزندہنشانوںکےلیئے
شہداکےلیئے
اُنکےعزیزواقرباکےلیئے
غازیوںکےلیئے
وطنکےباسیوںکےلیئے

وہ یقینِ محکم ، وہ جذبہِ لازوال، وہ جنونِ ایثار کہیں گئے نہیں ، یہیں ہیں۔

بر و بحر و فضا میں رقم کی جانے والی پینسٹھ کی عظیم قربانیاں اور جانفشانیاں آج پکار رہی ہے:۔

جذبوں پر پڑی اوس کو صاف کر ڈالو۔
جنوں پر ہوس نے جو جالے بُن دیئے ہیں انھیں اتار دو
یقین اگر اپنوں اور غیروں کی ریشہ دوانیوں سے متزلزل ہوا ہے تو ہر قسم کے شک کو جھٹک کر پھر سے یقینِ محکم کو اپنانا ہے۔

یاد رکھنا ضروری ہے کہ

کشمیر آج لہولہان ہے
اکہتر کا قرض اضافی ہے
یہ قرض چکانےہیں۔

اللہ کریم نے فرمایا ہے’اِنا مع العسرِ یُسرا‘۔

ایڑیاں تو رگڑنی ہی پڑتی ہیں اور پھر

وطن کی خاک ذرا ایڑیاں رگڑنے دے

مجھے یقیں ہے پانی یہیں سے نکلے گا

افواجِپاکستانزندہباد

پاکستانپائندہباد

انشا۶اللہ

سدا سلامت پاکستان ۔ تا قیامت پاکستان

REFLECTION 2:24 PM

AGEING - - - A CERTAINTY AS TRUE AS THE NIGHT FOLLOWING THE DAY ... ARE WE READY?

Salam and Happy Ageing ....

I promised with my dear friend Captain Navid Anwar (Merchant Navy) to put this on my Blog ... so here it is Pal ...

The Sky Gets Dark, Slowly

Mao Dun literary prize winner Zhou Daxin’s latest novel, “The Sky Gets Dark, Slowly”, is a sensitive exploration of old age and the complex, hidden emotional worlds of the elderly in a rapidly ageing population.

In it he writes, “…Many elderly speak as though they know everything, but of old age they are in fact as ignorant as children. Many elderly are in fact, completely unprepared for what they are to face when it comes to getting old and the road that lays ahead of them.

In the time between a person turning 60 years old, as they begin to age, right until all the lights go out and the sky gets dark, there are some situations to keep in mind, so that you will be prepared for what is to come, and you will not panic.

1. The people by your side will only continue to grow smaller in number. People in your parents’ and grandparents’ generation have largely all left, whilst many your peers will increasingly find it harder to look after themselves, and the younger generations will all be busy with their own lives. Even your wife or husband may depart earlier than you, or than you would expect, and what might then come are days of emptiness. You will have to learn how to live alone, and to enjoy and embrace solitude.

2. Society will care less and less for you. No matter how glorious your previous career was or how famous you were, ageing will always transform you into a regular old man and old lady. The spotlight no longer shines on you, and you have to learn to contend with standing quietly in one corner, to admire and appreciate the hubbub and views that come after you, and you must overcome the urge to be envious or grumble.

3. The road ahead will be rocky and full of precarity. Fractures, cardio-vascular blockages, brain atrophy, cancer… these are all possible guests that could pay you a visit any time, and you would not be able to turn them away. You will have to live with illness and ailments, to view them as friends, even; do not fantasise about stable, quiet days without any trouble in your body. Maintaining a positive mentality and get appropriate, adequate exercise is your duty, and you have to encourage yourself to keep at it consistently.

4. Prepare for bed-bound life, a return to the infant state. Our mothers brought us into this world on a bed, and after a journey of twists and turns and a life of struggle, we return to our starting point – the bed – and to the state of having to be looked after by others. The only difference being, where we once had our mothers to care for us, when we prepare to leave, we may not have our kin to look after us. Even if we have kin, their care may never come close to that of your mother’s; you will, more likely than not, be cared for by nursing staff who bear zero relation to you, wearing smiles on their faces all whilst carrying weariness and boredom in their hearts. Lay still and don’t be difficult; remember to be grateful.

5. There will be many swindlers and scammers along the way. Many of them know that the elderly have lots of savings, and will endlessly be thinking of ways to cheat them of their money: through scam phone calls, text messages, mail, food and product samples, get-rich-quick schemes, products for longevity or enlightenment… basically, all they want is to get all the money. Beware, and be careful, hold your money close to you. A fool and his money are soon parted, so spend your pennies wisely.

Before the sky gets dark, the last stretches of life’s journey will gradually get dimmer and dimmer; naturally, it will be harder to see the path ahead that you are treading towards, and it will be harder to keep going forward. As such, upon turning 60, it would do us all well to see life for what it is, to cherish what we have, to enjoy life whilst we can, and to not take on society’s troubles or your children’s and grandchildren’s affairs on for yourself. Stay humble, don’t act superior on account of your own age and talk down to others – this will hurt yourself as much as it will hurt others. As we get older, all the better should we be able to understand what respect is and what it counts for. In these later days of your lives, you have to understand what it means, to let go of your attachments, to mentally prepare yourself. The way of nature is the way of life; go with its flow, and live with equanimity.

***For all of us, a nice read, very beautiful, very true .... !

Hardly the day started and ... it is already six o'clock in the evening.
Barely arrived on Monday and it's already Friday.
... and the month is almost over.... and the year is almost up.... and already 50 or 60 or 70 years of our lives have passed.... and we realize that we lost our parents, friends.and we realize that it is too late to go back ...
So ... Let's try to take full advantage of the time we have left ...Let's not stop looking for activities that we like ...Let's put color in our greyness ...Let's smile at the little things in life that put balm in our hearts.
And yet, we must continue to enjoy serenely the time that remains. Let's try to eliminate the "after" ...I do it after ...I will say after ...I will think about it after ...We leave everything for 'later' as if "after" was ours.

Because what we do not understand is that:

after, the coffee cools ...after, priorities change ...after, the charm is broken ...after, health passes ...after, the children grow up ...after, the parents get older ...after, the promises are forgotten ...after, the day becomes the night ...after, life ends ...And all that afters, we find it's often too late ....
So ... leave nothing for 'later' ...Because in always waiting for later, we can lose the best moments,the best experiences,the best friends,the best family ...The day is today ... The moment is now ...

We are no longer at the age where we can afford to postpone until tomorrow what needs to be done right away.
