A reminder for Elections 2018 (Pakistan)

A reminder for tomorrow
▪To those people in my friends' list who are so disappointed in all the political parties that they have decided to forgo their right to vote. I want to remind them that as a citizen of Pakistan, it is not only your RIGHT but also your RESPONSIBILITY to vote. Just like drops in the ocean, every vote is sacred and every vote counts! Also, if you cannot find the perfect leader then find the one who is the "least corrupt" of all but please caste your vote.
▪To those who are voting for a particular political party just because of peer pressure or by looking at the general trend. It is my earnest request to them to please do a quick research themselves and then make their decision as I totally agree with Roosevelt who said, "Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely." And also with John F Kennedy who said, "The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all." So please make a little effort for our dear country.
▪To those who are confused about their choice: Do not forget Allah's promise as Allah says in the Holy Quran that He will only change the condition of the people when they change their inner selves. Hence, do not fret about your choice so much. The conditions (the government) are bound to change (for the better) if you have changed (for the good).
▪To those who believe that dictatorship is the answer. "Democarcy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve." George Bernard Shaw
"The cure for all evils of democracy is more democracy." Alfred Smith
Lastly, I really hope and pray that no dirty game comes into play tomorrow. I pray that all the rigging schemes get exterminated and the enemies of Pakistan suffer the greatest of all blows. INSHALLAH.
Ending this post with the words of Masroor Anwar, "Sohni Dharti Allah rakhe kadam kadam aabaad tuje." (O beautiful land, may God keep you prosperous every step of the way).

Queen in the Wild!

When I laid down on the grass, all the stress seeped down into the soil.. The chirping of crickets, the whistling of nightingales and the cawing of crows turned into a melody which soothed my mind and heart and I started to let go. I let go of the fears.. I let go of the anger.. I let go of the anxiety.. I stared at the sun cracking its way through the clouds.. struggling to show off its light.. trying to get past the deep and dark clouds.. Then I thought to myself, "Aren't we all like the sun?" Struggling to get past the difficulties and barriers and trying to become the the best version of ourselves.. While I was lost in my thoughts.. I suddenly felt a tingling sensation on my feet. And yes, it was a creepy crawly - a grasshopper resting on my feet in all his calm and might. When I set my eyes on it, I was shaken to the core and felt an extreme adrenaline rush! But I dealt with the situation with all my poise. I brushed it away and picked up a few wild flower...

The roads untravelled..

As I travelled up the North, I decided that I wanted to break the shackles of technology and spend some quality time with nature.. However, as soon as the signals started to drop, cleithrophobia (the fear of being trapped) started to kick in.. I wanted to feel free and wander around without any restrictions or barriers and do whate ever I feel like doing and go where my heart takes me but what happened was, I was drawned in fears.. the fear of missing out and the fear of the unknown..and I felt as trapped as a caged bird. Within the cage, I had a conversation with myself.. - Did I come here to worry about things which are not at all under my control? The answer was obviously a big NO! But, mind being an intelligent organ came up with another doubt. - Things might not be in my control but I could have been there to correct the things when they go wrong. The above question had the answer within itself. Who am I to correct the things which are not under my control? There are...

The Cherry Blossoms of Pakistan

As I wandered through the streets of Virginia, I wondered how most of the women in Pakistan spend their entire lives like a bud. They are never allowed to travel alone. Even if they have the "audacity" to make such a demand, they are shut out by the phrase "shadi k baad apne husband k sath jahan marzi jana". Their growth, their personal development is hindered and they are made dependent on a male figure for their happiness even before that persons arrival in their lives. Women are the future of Pakistan. I say so because they have the most powerful of all weapons in their hands: the future generations. They can turn them into unhealthy pscho beings or rational individuals. Therefore, its high time to unchain the women, let them develop and discover because it is with my experience that I can say, travelling alone can be the most scariest yet the most empowering experience of all. So let the cherry blossoms of our country bloom!   Step up, step out! Stop roami...
