Wish Time Had been a Circle……

      

Soaring high with you in my dreams…

Emotions overflow, domains no more green…

Mind shackled in moments of past..

Heart smitten…why so much had they a cost??

Wish time had been a circle…

Wish moments had soon a rehearsal..

        Then I would've been a stubborn audience..

With my heart longing return of a past circle…

With eyes gazing each one in that rehearsal…

As if, looking for you was life’s part and parcel…

 How a dolt had I been to the rest…..but……

Finding  you was like life at its best………………..

 The moment I had a glimpse of yours…..

My pounding heart had a halt for a while….

Then feelings hailed like rain in a desert….

Telling me, this is how love maneuvers……..

           Fortunes of desperate suitors……

           Goals of dying movers ………..

FLOWERS IN THE WILD

          

"Born in the wild bred in a rich mire

Flowers have a perfume, all that we admire

Scared the poor, blown the children, elders crying a sigh

My country is doomed with terror, and set ablaze in a fire

Soldiers of my motherland our hearts go out for you

Go crumple those barbarians, kill all of them we desire

Faded the faces turn, no more the candles burn

Visit a martyr's house, bet you find any face with a smile

A caring  brother, a loving spouse.. A only son, a cousin just twenty one

Leaves the loved ones lifeless, a soul when departs in a gunfire

Flowers in the wild, colorful and elegant, with fragrance not that mild

Envious me as always, over fortune of the ones, who die but never expire"

These words are dedicated to the Martyrs, the Men and Women who died, fighting with bravado and courage to protect their Nations be it any country around the Globe.

In these critical circumstances around the world, where terrorism, brutal killings, hatred, religious and sectarian violence, honor killing, collateral damage, target killing, bomb blasts in short trauma of every sort has rooted in, these words are a preamble of privilege for the departed souls who sacrificed everything for us, for a better world.

Frequent Road Accidents on Karakoram Highway ( An Alarming Issue)

                                                      

In the middle of the night sheer pain was excruciating head to toe taking me almost down. It was the night of 28^th September when I was sitting on a bench outside ward #3 at CMH Gilgit, a far flung area of Pakistan where progress is more subject to political and international agendas  less to welfare of the common man.

The reason being in trauma was not me but a relative of mine who had met an accident on KKH that passes right through my Distict HunzaNagar that serves as a corridor between Pakistan and china. Thanks to Allah my relative was safe but it was a nightmare to see a teenage boy in another ward who had also faced a bike accident on KKH. He was in a very critical condition.

Built in the late 1970s stretching almost 900km from Hasanabdal to Kashgar, KKH has been a major transit route between Pakistan and china.

Formerly it was a rough highway with pavement failure in form of alligator cracks, rutting and even potholes all along with less maintenance. Well that sounds bad but at that time KKH was safer rather I would say “not deadly”.

Soon in the recent years KKH was rehabilitated and renovated by Chinese government in collaboration with Pakistan. The rehabilitation work completed in 2013. KKH was widened and paved to the best standards.

Well kudos to all in the plan as trade seemed booming up and conveyance turned convenient.

But the celebrating days lasted no more as traffic accidents became frequent and common that has now washed triumphant faces with tears and painted them with scars and fear.

A car after accident on KKH 

Today KKH seems haunted as casualties are happening due to frequent road accidents. I myself am witness to the deadliest accidents in which very young souls departed. That teenage boy I mentioned earlier succumbed to injuries within two days. Today Hospitals around KKH seem loaded with teenagers fighting for their life due to bike accidents almost every day.

Cursing engineering in this case would be superstitious and illogical as to me, it is not Engineering that is bellowing the death bagpipe.

After my graduation I have been living around KKH for more than 4 months. I observed that almost all the accidents occur due to carelessness, negligence and overconfidence of drivers travelling on KKH. People driving on KKH must understand that the road they are using is no more a link or arterial road system. It has now been upgraded and built on international standards by the Chinese engineers.

Following are my observed causes of increased traffic accidents on KKH:

1-      Over speeding

2-       Ignoring traffic signs

3-      Dysfunctional speed meters in most of the vehicles.( Drivers do not observe it even if functional)

4-      Teenage drivers (mostly bikers)

5-      No use of Helmets and seat belts at all.

6-      Sleeping while driving ( a striking factor)

7-      Overconfident drivers with rash driving habits i-e overtaking and racing

Being a Civil Engineer I suggest following remedies to the problem:

1-      Please drive slow and always keep left to the median (center line of road), especially around turns.

2-      Please keep a functional speed meter and keep an eye on it while driving

3-      I request all parents to please please do not allow your children below 20 to ride bikes. Use a helmet always even if you are riding on unpaved road. It saves you from head injury which in most cases turns fatal.

4-      I request all drivers to please follow traffic signs as they are source to avoid accidents and to have a smooth drive.

5-      Always keep patience while driving. Keep your lane and avoid racing and overtaking vehicles ahead.

I have written my observations with a hope to bring good to all driving on KKH (especially the indigenous people) either they be anyone hailing from any area, having any kind of mindset, sect and caste.

All I want it a safer KKH as it is pride of Pakistan being the 8^th wonder of the world” running through the chest of Karakorum and Himalayas which are known as the “Roof of the world”.

I request all of you who go through this to spread the word around you. It will be bliss if our few words of awareness save even a single life.

Humanity First

Somebody tell me where on earth are ‪#‎Humans‬ butchered this way...????

Being ‪#‎shia‬ is an issue, being a Scholar, Professor, Doctor even being a School Kid is an issue. For these barbarians simply, a ‪#‎FreeLife‬ is an issue.

My dear countrymen we are all fooled in the name of Democracy,Governance, Patriotism and Sacrifice by a relentless Lot of monsters who are and have been busy sucking our blood and resources of this God Forsaken Nation for decades.

Today suicide attacks and bomb blasts have become so frequent targeting followers of Shia sect of Islam in particular in Pakistan. This has created a sense of helplessness, fear, frustration and insecurity among the people of this sect in this country. 

Lets wait till our turn and then, those who escape, be thankful for still being able to breathe till their turn.God forbid.
‪ Respect Humanity.

"THEY HAD SOME DREAMS".....( What to Learn from Chapel Hill shooting?? )

They had some dreams; they wanted to lead a life filled with love and success. In fact they deserved to lead a blessed life with their family, friends and acquaintances. They were well educated citizens of a country which is seen as the most advanced nation on this planet.

Yes I am talking about the three Muslim students Deah, Yusor and Razan, who were shot point blank in Chapel Hills North Carolina.

The victims shot dead on Wednesday 10th February,2015 were identified as Mr.Deah shady Barakat, 23, his wife, Yusor Mohammad, 21, of Chapel Hill, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, of Raleigh.

The couple was married just a month ago when they met such a deplorable fate. They were young university students of Arab descent. They were not criminals nor were they terrorists of any sort. They were US citizens having born and bred in the United States.

The striking thing about this sad incident which is rather more condemnable is that of the reason for killing of the innocent students.

The 46 year old man Craig Stephen Hicks who is responsible for this brutal killing is said to be an atheist. This man killed three innocent human beings only because they were Muslims.

They (the victims) followed Islam, the religion which is followed by about 1.6 billion people around the world. Can anybody think of eliminating 1.6 billion human beings from this planet?? It totally seems frantic and lunatic.

So  let’s calm ourselves as human beings and conclude that whatever bad occurs in any part of the world in form of crime, brutal killing, mass destruction, extortion, bombing and human rights violation cannot and  can never be associated with any religion in particular. All religions of the world preach love, peace and in short goodness.

In a world today where terror and terrorism is more associated with Muslims, I being one of them am not triumphant over an atheist killing Muslims, but rather deeply saddened over these barbaric incidents happening frequently all over.  

My message to the world is that, a terrorist can be Muslim but all Muslims can’t be Terrorists. Likewise an atheist, a Christian, a Jew, a Hindu, a Buddhist can be a killer but not all followers of these religions can be killers.

Quoting Rumi:

“Come  Lets fall in love again, let’s turn all the dirt in this world to shiny gold”

Tale of a Traveller

Out of the black night
the stars peer down..

Trying hard and harder,,,
man struggles, staggers.
laments, cries, envies

Over the milk that got spilt
over the journeys he couldn't be a part
the adventures he missed..

Aaahh the dark night ,mystic sky..
those who look deep up into you
trying to find some drops of rain..

To water their faded gardens
to rejoice again the aroma of flowers
whiff again the odour of rain slick land..

Ahh the mystic invisible..
aahh the divine unfathomable..

What are rules of the GAME??
the key to the perplexed crux??
the path of destiny...divine destiny
..??
Meandering its way right through the days and nights
that makes ages come and go,,,
blessing man..
with the kingdom of childhood
the bliss of youth,,

Detouring man
out from a life of a bliss
throwing him in a path where
the body faints, the soul dwells
the hardships of old ages..
ahh the nostalgia-hit dark days and nights..

Divine destiny who is your ARCHITECT..???
..
Surely some mystic paths that need to be ventured..
some facts to be believed not to be what they are..
stray things known priceless..
diamonds devalued..
some pebbles deemed jewels..

Ahh thee you traveler in the desert..
Ahh thee sailor in the vast see,,
AHH you ascending summits..

Think.... think again..
is it really a desert you dwelling in?
the sea really a sea you think you are sailing across?
the summits really are the highest marks?

O thee you Traveler.. Is it the journey you really need to venture upon??
think again..
pause,ponder
you..
Traveller

How We Need To Live

In the world we live...how we need to live??
I think i guess like a morning dew...

Cool and calm, clean and serene..
Going down the petal like a stream....

Extremism to shun, say no to gun..
In the path of a religion, that long ago begun..

The sea engulfs rivulets and streams.....
Lets leave the rivulets of castes and creeds
Lets together now try to be human beings.

Enough we had to plough, enough we had to obtain
but the worth one got did never remain....
Lets now we try ploughing this land..
Not just to obtain but to get a green land.

Love people around, try not to bind.
Rather soothe their souls and be kind.

O people around, I need you to ponder !!
My words mean you to rise, not just to make you wonder.
