International Women's Day

Do you want to know what is 'Khawateen Ka Din"? Karachi Metro blog has very nice post about this topic. You must read it at http://karachi.metblogs.com/2008/03/08/international-womens-day/.

Usually, in our country this day belongs to the "Working Lady" or "Corporate Women". Despite of the topic, personally I have met number of working women and every one has single answer of question "Are you doing this job on your wish?", NO.

I am not against the working women but the real picture is a bit different if we remove sunglasses from our eyes. Still there is real need to workout for the solution of REAL problems. I am not talking about lady living in a house of 600 sq ft and driving its own car, having decent designation in an national or international firm. Think about a lady working in a garment factory , use general transport, even she never wear clothes which she has been stitching for years and years.... Have we done something for them? 

Happy International Women's Day!!!

Very well said...I'm partly against all these NGOs who claim that they have done a lot about women rights....the reality is a common woman is still suffering :(

خدا کرے کہ میری ارض پاک پر اترے وہ فصل گل ، جسے اندیشہ زوال نہ ہو یہاں جو پھول کھلے، وہ کھلا رہے صدیوں یہاں خزاں کو گزرنے کی بھی مجال نہ ہو یہاں جو سبزہ اگے، وہ ہمیشہ سبز رہے اور ایسا سبز ، کہ جس کی کوٴی مثال نہ ہو گھنی گھٹاٴیں یہاں ایسی بارشیں برسا ٴیں کہ پتھروں سے بھی روٴید گی محال نہ ہو خدا کرے کہ نہ خم ہو سر وقار وطن اور اس کے حسن کو تشویش ماہ و سال نہ ہو ہرایک فرد ہو تہذیب و فن کا اوج کمال کوٴی ملول نہ ہو، کوٴی خستہ حال نہ ہو خدا کرے کہ میرے اک بھی ہم وطن کےلیے حیات جرم نہ ہو، زندگی وبال نہ ہو خدا کرے کہ میری ارض پاک پر اترے وہ فصل گل ، جسے اندیشہ زوال نہ ہو

میرے بعد بہت سناٹا ہوگا

‏میری آواز کو محفوظ کر لو.... میرے بعد بہت سناٹا ھو گا... ‏بہت سے یار ہوگے اغیار ہوگے بہت سا کچھ کہنے والے ہوگے ‏اور سب کچھ ہوگا ترے پاس نہ ہونگے تو مرے الفاظ نہ ہوگے ‏بہت سے آسماں اور تارے ہونگے اور چاروں طرف گھپ سناٹا ہوگا ‏نہ ہوگا تو اک آواز کا طلسم میرے بعد بہت سناٹا ہوگا۔۔۔

ME as Author for KMB!!!

Today I received an email from Jamal Ashiqain informing about my selection as an author for Karachi Metro Blog . It is really an honor for me and I am very excited to contribute my part. If you haven't heard the word 'Metro Blog' or wish to know about it then following paragraph is for you. Metroblogging started off as a more locally focused alternative news source in Los Angeles and has turned into the largest and fastest growing network of city-specific blogs on the Web. We got sick of reading local news that was syndicated from the other side of the country, or was just repurposed national chit chat that had nothing to do with our city. We created our first blog as a throw back to the days when a local news paper focused on local issues, and you could walk down to the corner coffee shop and chat up the reporters whose column you read earlier that day. This idea didn't stay in one city for long and before we knew it there were Metblogs in Chicago, Portland, Karachi,
