Political Affairs

 Interest in political affairs came from home.  There was a political family, the conversation was about politics.  If the political winds were blowing on a small scale, because they were residents of a remote rural area, they would contribute something.  The presidential election of Ayub Khan's era or later the era of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto would have been involved on a small scale in one way or another.  The premise is that political thinking has been a part of life.  Life goes on thinking about what is happening to the country and what needs to be done to improve it.  It is not that our thinking was very high-minded, but whatever the nature of the standard, it remained political.  Now, however, that is not the first refreshment in political thought.  There is no fatigue in body and soul because old age has not changed our hobbies.  Not only are our hobbies what they used to be, but maybe their expressions are a bit more obsessive than be...

Disappointment is a blessing

 Some days I spend less night in my bedroom and more in the washroom, I will not go into deta Disappointment is a blessing 😀ils because who likes to take clothes off m Disappointment is a blessing y stomach, but sometimes in this regard, I have a desire in my heart that  I wish there was a waterlogged field near my house but where every wish is fulfilled.  I am forced to cry today because I have visited the door of the greatest urologist, he tries his best to reduce my "water supply" and in this Disappointment is a blessing endeavor no one  The Messiah succeeds, and in spite of his successful treatment I seek the guidance of another physician, but I am fortunate that the problem which was solved by me, once again worsens.  Failure is considered a blessing in disguise because sleeping all night and not going to the washroom is a source of great happiness while every happiness in the world is temporary and my friend Ghamgin Soleimani says never run after happines...

Where to go

 Whether life belongs to an individual or a nation, there are moments when everything is not in one's hands and one has to do a lot against one's will.  History has shown that every nation at some stage had to do a lot of things which were not to its liking.  In such moments, small evil is preferred to big evil.  If the amount of damage is increased by doing something then an attempt is made to reduce the amount of damage by adopting an alternative. Where to go  Europe's affairs are in a state of turmoil.  After ruling several countries and regions for more or less four and a half centuries, the European powers have now reached the point where they have to determine the direction of the long journey of the future.  The United States stands out as the sole superpower.  His strengths and weaknesses are not hidden.  In many cases, he has become so entrenched that his own yard is in disarray.  Despite this, the United States is not ready to ...

The Story of an Ancient City

South Punjab, which consists of three divisions and eleven districts, is about 45% of Punjab in terms of area and about 32% of the total population of Punjab in terms of population.  The Seraiki nationalists, in defiance of their legitimate demands, spread the boundaries of South Punjab and covered 24 districts and two provinces.  The demand also included two districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Dera Ismail Khan and Tank, while Mianwali, Bhakkar, Khushab, Sargodha, Chiniot, Jhang, Bhakkar, Sahiwal, Pakpattan, Okara and Toba Tek Singh were also included in the proposed province.  Took  Obviously, the province will not be formed at the behest of the Seraiki nationalists.  Who would have thought that it would not be possible to close the two districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the sack of their desire unless the Assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa approves it and such a thing is not possible till the Day of Judgment.  As for Sahiwal, Pakpattan, Okara, Toba Tek Singh, Sa...

سر گنگا رام کا مجسمہ

 اتوار کی صبح ہم گاڑی لے کر نکل جاتے ہیں اور پرانے لاہور کی گلیوں اور اندرون شہر کے محلوں میں گھومتے ہیں ۔ کبھی کوئی پرانا مزار اپنی جانب کھینچ لیتا ہے توکہ سر گنگا رام کا مجسمہ یں کوئی اجڑا ہوا باغ راست سر گنگا رام کا مجسمہ ے میں آ جاتا ہے ، کبھی کسی مندر کی باقیات دکھائی دے جاتی ہیں توکہیں مسجد کے میناروں سے روشنی پھوٹتی نظر آجاتی ہے ،کبھی کسی قدیم حویلی کی کشش کھینچ کے لے جاتی ہے تو کہیں کسی چوبارے پہ تاریخ آواز دے کر بلا لیتی ہے ۔سردیوں سر گنگا رام کا مجسمہ کی اتوار لاہور کے نام مختص ہے ۔اور کچھ نہ ملے تو اندرون شہر کا ناشتہ ہی کر لیتے ہیں، ہر مرتبہ ایک نیا تجربہ ہوتا ہے ۔ اور کیوں نہ ہو ۔ لاہور دنیا کا غالباً وہ واحد شہر ہے جہاں آپ صرف نان چنے کھانے کا ہی فیصلہ کر لیں تو اُس کی درجن بھر اقسام مل جائیں گی ، ایک سے بڑھ کر ایک۔آج اسی قسم کے لاہوری کھانوں کے بارے میں لکھنے کا فیصلہ کیا تھا اور وجہ اُس کی یہ تھی کہ محترم واصف ناگی نے لاہور کے بارے میں اِس قدر تفصیل سے لکھ دیا ہے کہ مجھ ایسے عاشق لاہو ر کے لیے اب کچھ بچا ہی نہیں ۔ لاہور میں بیک وقت کئی قسم کی تاریخ ہے جو بکھری ...

My glasses, My worldview

 I used to work in an English newspaper when I was a teenager. That newspaper belonged to a group that published a right wing ideological Urdu newspaper.  However, surprisingly, this English newspaper was completely different from its Urdu-bound brother.  The paper promoted some of the most modern trends, with relatively secular thinkers writing columns, the editorial board consisting mostly of modern English-speaking journalists, fashionable bearded editors, and the reporting department.  It consisted of young people who were called 'Mod Scouts' at the time.  When I was recruited in the reporting section of the newspaper, a new world appeared to me.  This world was very different from what I had experienced at that time. I came from the house where the same ideological Urdu newspaper was read for years. My father used to write columns in it.  And the journalists had to come and go, everything I heard in the gatherings of these great elders was taught ...
