A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for - Quote

"A ship is safe in harbor, but that’s not what ships are for."

 — William G.T. Shedd
ایک جہاز سب سے ذیادہ محفوظ بندرگاہ پر ہوتا ہے؛ مگر جہاز بندرگاہ پر کھڑے رہنے کے لئے نہیں بنا ہوتا۔ جہاز کا مقصد ہی سمندر کی موجوں سے لڑنا ہوتا ہے

اسی طرح ہماری ذندگیوں کا مقصد بھی محض آرام و آسائش تلاش کرنا نہیں ہونا چاہیۓ بلکہ زمانےکی موجوں سے لڑ کر حقیقی مقصد تلاش کرنا ہونا چاہئے

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

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,
