Ideas from another Country

I believe that one cannot improve himself if he does not learn from his surroundings. I am not saying that my country is not good. It is great! No other country can provide for its inhabitants the luxuries available in Pakistan. However my country has yet to grow, it has yet to learn. We can improve our country; by introducing to it a few customs from other countries. The two things I would like my country to assimilate in its self are very important for its growth.

Only recently a law has been established in UK and Canada, which states that smoking in the presence of an underage, especially within closed quarters, is strictly banned. I would like this law to be a part of our judiciary because the harm smoking causes is disastrous. It has been discovered by scientists that passive smoking is more dangerous than active smoking. A person who is in the constant presence of an active smoker is in more danger than the smoker himself. Also if a young person is seeing somebody smoking his curious mind will encourage him to do the same thing. It is also a known fact that most smokers got addicted to this habit in their early years, if they had not mouthed their first cigarette in their teens they might have been safe from this evil. Thus to avoid cancer, lung and heart diseases it is necessary for this law to be established.

As you can see British and American literature is very popular these days. In fact it has been so for quite a while now. This way American and British culture and tradition is known around the globe. I would like to encourage literature writing, especially for the young generation in my country. Not only this but I would like these authors to get their books translated in different languages so that the world will be able to know about our lifestyle just like they know about the English lifestyle.

I believe that if these two things become a common practice in Pakistan, we as a country will be drastically improved. This will be a great step towards success.

    So true! It would be fantastic if we had the means of inserting the good, different customs into our own country. I'd love the amazing traditions from around the world to be injected into our country too... but I guess that's what makes us all different. XD You're right about the new anti-smoking law - it's good we have that in the UK now! :D Keep writing!

    This is absolutely true! Pakistan is a great country, but implementing some of the practices from other countries can improve it further. The practices you've shared are very important and can make a difference for our future generations. It would be great if some authority could consider it. :D Keep posting more writings!

The Latest News of Pakistan: Heat, Death and Rainmaking

Karachi, Friday 26th: Lately, death has taken its toll in the province of Sindh. Sinch last week over two thousand people have died due to heat strokes or droughts, and load shedding only adds to the misery. The heat of June has been growing unbearable for the public, with no rain and less winds. Thus the government of Pakistan and the NDMA(Natural Disaster Management Authority) have decided to try out cloud seeding for the first time in Pakistan. But what is cloud seeding? Cloud Seeding is also known as chemical rain, rainmaking, or artificial precipitation. Cloud Seeding is away to produce artificial rain, mostly done to avoid droughts, increase reservoir irrigation water, increase water supply capacity or to increase water levels for power generation. Cloud Seeding is done by using air planes or rockets which sow into the clouds catalysts such as dry ice, silver iodide and salt powder. These catalysts induce nucleation and what little water is in the air condenses and crystall

ایک ڈراؤنا خواب

میں بیٹھ کر اپنا ہوم ورک کر رہی تھی. اچانک ایک زوردار آواز آی. یوں لگا جیسے کوئی دھماکا  ہوا ہو. میں اٹھ کھڑی ہوئی اور میں نے ڈرتے ڈرتے گھر کے گیٹ تک کا سفر طے کیا اور وہاں سے باہر جھانکنے کی ہمت بھی کی. سڑک پر بوہت سی لاشیں، خون میں لت پت پڑی  ہوئی تھیں. میں سر کے بل واپس کمرے کی طرف بھاگی اور میں نے اپنے کمرے کا دروازا بند کر لیا. ابھی مجھے کچھ ہی دیر ہوئی تھی ہانپتے کانپتے جب مجھے کسی کے دھاڑیں مار مار کر رونے کی آواز آئ. کوئی مدد کےلئے چلّا رہا تھا. میں دوبارہ باہر نہیں جانا چھاتی تھی لیکن ڈر اور اضطراب کی ایک عجیب کیفیت مجھے پھر سے باہر کی جانب لے چلی. گھر کا دروازہ کھولنے پر میں نے دیکھا کہ ایک عورت ایک لاش کے پاس بیٹھی بین کر رہی تھی. اس کی حالت بوہت خستہ تھی. اس کہ بال سفید اور بکھرے ہوے تھے. اس کے کپڑے نہایت ڈھیلے اور پرانے نظر آ رہے تھے. اس کے جھریوں بھرے چہرے  پر چمکتے آنسو انگنت تھے. میں ابھی اس کا جائزہ ہی لے رہی تھی جب اس نے اپنی لال آبدیدہ آنکھوں سے مجھے دیکھا. وہ اٹھی اور میری طرف بڑھنے لگی. مجھے چاہنے کے باوجود اس سے کوئی ہمدردی محسوس  نہیں ہو رہی تھی، لیکن میرا خو

                 “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” ― Apple Inc.  “I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.” ― Oscar Wilde  “If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.” ― J.K.
