What to say and talk about Gaza. A lot is written and talked about burning gaza. I believe, this is the time for action. 

We can see Gaza strip in this link;  https://goo.gl/maps/kUatt .

 

We see a lot of pictures of injured bleeding till death on internet. This biggest jail in the world is burning by air strikes. Jews are killing un armed, innocent people of Gaza. We hear screams of children and women every day. This breaks my heart. We see blood falling on ground, is it that cheap? I was wondering why Israel is  afraid of this innocent Muslim population that, it is working on an agenda to destroy them. Does Israel only need piece of land without it’s people? Or testing its equipment on these unarmed civilians  or making use of those missiles or rockets that are about to expire soon?  Or want to take bath in river of Blood? 

 

 Do you have any answer?

 

I do not think so. I believe any briefing from anywhere will raise more questions in minds.

This world has double standards, UNO is silent , all have closed their eyes,  ears and pretend as if  do not see or hear anything. There is no hope in this whole world for people of Gaza , no one is standing with them. They are alone, they have to face this genocide without any support from outside world. What can be expected from rest of the world when the Muslim rulers are quiet and are not taking any initiative to help the unarmed people of Gaza. I wonder who will break the ice and will say “ STOP” but I feel no one can and no one will.

                                                                ..… SIGH….

We Muslims have been divided in sunni , shai , shafi etc. sects and are happy if our brothers from other sect are brutally killed , we do not look towards the bloodshed. We have forgotten the message of God and his messenger  Prophet Muhammad (P. B.U.H) who has advised us for tolerance , respect and peace and asked to help brothers , if they are in trouble. We must know what Holy Quran tells us about this situation , but alas we do not have time to open our holy book , but happy to see and share every update on Facebook.

When I see pictures of innocent children who are killed or severely injured by Israel army , all of sudden the picture of my own kid appear in front of my eyes and my heart breaks and I start trembling just with a thought if this happen to my kid . What I will do then???  There are many parents in the world like me and I appeal to them , please come forward and raise a voice as this can come to our door steps , if we will spare culprits like this. They will be stronger with passage of every single day  to crush more with their deadly weapons and cunning moves.

I question myself many times , what can we do in our capacity to stop this genocide and brutal attacks by Israeli army to save innocent children, women and brothers of Gaza ?  May be we can be helpful by confronting Israel’s constant mistreatment and violence of Palestinian human and political rights. When I see that in return of heavy shelling and bombing young hurl stones.….I think how they can fight with stones and bricks but this act makes it clear that their strength, courage and elegance will not perish.  They are brave to stand and fight empty handed, they know their birth right and their efforts  will bring a new day for them . They know that their attempts cannot stop ongoing abuse , but they do not want to lose hope.

No one knows what Israel wants to show by taking hold of 360  km² area? What it will do by killing unarmed , innocent population of 1.8 million? Cease fire of few hours will make no difference . We see on our TV screens  many laser guided Missiles and bombs target Schools, masjids, hospitals and residential buildings, turning them to ashes and smoke, killing masses and people that move in streets cover their eyes and ear just to lower the intensity of dust, smoke and blast.  Seems people are shocked and the thunder of these missiles have paralyzed the people of the world and they cannot help as they are helpless themselves.  Palestinian are living on edge of life and death , unaware of the fact which bomb will be fired to hit them.  People are sheltering in schools and have very small quantity of food and safe water for drinking.

Where is UN , why it cannot stop violence?  What Israel wants to show by displaying this aggression?? This is not about any particular religion it is about the humanity. I wish someday someone will come to help and violently intercept Israeli army. I hope that all allies of Israel will mount pressure to ceasefire and negotiate.

I have recently read a post on reason for conflict between Palestine and Israel over Gaza , you can check here; http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/israel/11006125/Gaza-explained-Why-Israel-and-Palestinians-are-in-constant-conflict-over-Gaza.html . 

Israel have fired more than 2800 rockets on Gaza in last month. What type of revenge Israeli army is taking from people that death toll have put on thousands and they have kidnapped many kids and women.  We see thousands of people with corpses, protesting against this brutal act and call upon world to put pressure on Israel to stop this massacre. If this would have been some other country killing innocent Christians or Jews , UN must have imposed sanctions. This silence of UN is not understandable and totally unacceptable. Apart from helping in stopping this massacre,  supplements of arms and explosives are being sent to Israel for more destruction in Palestinian under nose of UN and it is blind. Gaza is standing against war from many years but still not discouraged or broken. I believe we must SUPPORT Palestine.  

I deem it necessary to support these traumatized refugees of Gaza  with  peaceful negotiations.  All of us know that every single unarmed and innocent person of Gaza will continue to challenge Israel’s illegal siege on Gaza till death. I feel that they need our help  to create some difference, we must stand with them in this hard time by participating and supporting different initiatives to break the blockade of Gaza. We should condemn massacre of inhabitants of Gaza.

World must stand to curb violence with those who are struggling to survive and bring PEACE in GAZA. Alas these atrocities are happening while the world is watching deaths and listening to screams of brothers and mourns of mothers. This will only give way to intolerance , terror and fear among generations. There is critical need of time that think tanks of World come close and define rules and regulations and make such policies that no one can violate and harm other nations.

GIVE WAR A REAL CHANGE.

We are ignorant of  the fact that this monster has reached our door steps and will be knocking may be breaking our doors soon. 

 There are so many photos of Gaza blood shed and massacre on internet but I am not that brave enough to even see or share them. I am confident, I am not only one like that, I wonder if some can not see it how other can do this to humanity!!!!!! Its not about religion, its about humanity and blood have same color... I guess..... :'( .There must be immediate end of this Gaza blockade. There are millions around the world who support Palestine I appeal to all of them to boycott Israel and boycott each of its brand and never see again.

Watch this video from Youtube.

The after effects of war are coming in this way.

As the Ice Bucket challenge to aware people about ALS is spreading around the world , here is one from Palestine.

Refugees of Gaza need shelter , food , water , medicine , fuel and many other basic necessities of life. This effort is daunting. Different organizations are striving to provide shelter, food  etc. for desperate  refugees. Their efforts cannot continue without our help and support. We can donate for these vulnerable refugees in Gaza and help UNICEF through Link of This website .

Pakistan Today.

Pakistan is divided into two battle fields. Army is fighting one battle against terrorists;sacrificing their lives for the ego of Pakistan. Its integrity is far more important than anything else for them. Other battle field is set up in Abpara , Islamabad. Where Three political parties are in action on main stage, fighting battle for their ego. This is most critical time of history of Pakistan.  One party is Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz PML(N) that is holding office and other  two are Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) of Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)  of Imran Khan. PAT walked in Islamabad from Lahore under slogan of  “Inqilab “ ( revolution) March stepped up his call for democratic reforms in the country and justice for forty innocent people who were killed by Punjab government and PTI is here with #AzadiMarch slogan, demanding for resignation from Nawaz Sharif. The agenda of both later parties is to force the governing part to resign from office as they are blamed to be there by rigging election polls of 2013. They are protesting for new and fair elections.  Imran Khan and Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri have addressed their flag waving protesters and vow them to stay strong and determined until government step down.  The crowd of Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri and IK is very committed. Government is not taking this rally and protest seriously as they argue that the crowd is smaller then it was promised by the leaders that they will bring. In reality Crowds are not checked by their number but by their commitment , enthusiasm and devotion. The crowd with these parties are ready to die for the cause. They are in Islamabad away from their homes fighting against heat and severe rain and are committed to stay in Capital for as many days as asked from them.

Many around the world believe that these two internationally recognized personalities, a sportsman- turned politician Imran Khan and Cleric Dr. Tahir-ul-Qadri are increasing security threats in country by disturbing equilibrium among the people by protesting for; resignation of democratically elected government and reforms. The people of the country now believe that PML-N is now playing with fate of country and the existence of country is in great danger. This unrest in country is giving a chance to enemies, they are getting ready to take advantage of this uncertain condition to  vanish Pakistan from face of Earth.

Pakistan came into existence  on the basis of Ideology and people in establishment must work for ideology and interest of the motherland rather than protecting their personal interests. All television channels are storming the news of two protesting rallies in Capital Islamabad. The populist politician Imran Khan (PTI) has called for the Civil Disobedience movement. He is asking public not to pay any tax or utility bills to fraudulent Nawaz Sharif’s government. He is facing severe criticism after this call . No one knows that how the establishment and  politicians from Punjab  will respond to his Civil disobedience Campaign. Millions worldwide are watching this drama on their  Tele Vision screens and are interested to know the outcomes of this protest and waiting desperately which political party will tumble towards the defeat.

Pakistan is divided in many pieces with this wrestling by political parties. Apparently division is not much on the basis of provinces but on affiliation of people with political parties. Sindh and Baluchistan somewhat seem dormant as affiliation is with other parties.  Kaber Pakhtoon Khawa (KPK) have to face natural disasters and also fighting against terrorists and extremist groups.

Intellectuals and analysts  are afraid that this political instability will surely increase economic crisis in country. Country is going through critical and dangerous period of her life time and her existence is under great threat. Political parties are fighting against each other in the capital for chair but they are forgetting about many Marshalls that have pushed Pakistan many times during past in depths and darkness. There is no Benazir Bhutto left that can be sacrificed again to restore democracy. Analysts are emphasizing on dialogues and condemn the use of force against civilian.  Time has come that the establishment must come forward, considering the suggestions by Jamat-e-Islami , Mutaheeda Quami Movement and Pakistan People’s Party for dialogues and PTI & PAT must show some flexibility. It should not let people enter in red zone as there will surely be the loss of lives. This will be only way to keep Pakistan away of national and International threats of chaos and destruction.

Some believe that this is deviating attention of Pakistan from the pain of people of Gaza. This is the time to stand united and fight for the rights of Palestinian. In current situation the actions of the political parties are irrelevant when the people of Gaza are suffering from brutal killing. Pakistan need to be a stable country so it could help other Muslim countries.

No matter what anyone believe, Pakistani Nation is happy that still this rally is non violent. Everyone is hoping that protestants will not fall as if this happened no one will dare to stand against fraudulent government for decades. I hope that parties will settle their problems through dialogue and outcomes will be in favor of Pakistan and this protest will remain peaceful without any unpleasant incident till its end. 

LONG LIVE PAKISTAN.

Back Again.

Away from Social Life.

I was thinking to be away from internet for only 14 days during finalizing my stuff of whole year  but then I have to go on 61 days of holidays . These holidays were not from blogging and internet but it happened.  Before these 61 days I never thought that I can be away from my online life for that long.

I opened my email just once during these days and then decided not to do so again. When I started doing that and decided firmly to stay away. During start I found it very hard , but then I felt much relaxed and fresh.

 I was thinking as if I am away of cage and heavy chains. I experienced life to its fullest , I learned about people around me , I had some good and some sad moments, in short, I experienced different colors of life. I experienced that mind is free and you get many ideas, I was amazed to see everything that I managed to complete during vacation from social media. I have drafted so many blog posts that I will post soon. I believe that it is better to take social media vacation. I am not alone in telling you this , if you open surveys by different sites than you will see a lot of people take social  media vacation. Some leave it complete because of privacy issues. In short it was a good decision.

I experienced joy by being so close to nature. I enjoyed cool breeze and chirping of birds. Fruits from trees straight in my plate, enjoyed Ramadan and Eid and finally some family functions.

I visited a lot of places around, some with boiling waters in river and some old building with frightening

stories. Visited some cities for the first time , saw very nice architecture of buildings and masjids (mosques) . I also stitch a lot of cloths for my daughter , to let her know , how much I love her. I interacted with lot of people and came to know many of their problems that I never thought about. I also experienced electricity failure not for hours or days but for weeks. Thanks God our solar panels helped us survive in that time :) . Enjoyed rainy season of one part and hottest weather in other part. This difference of weather amazed me.

I will surely write about different places I have visited and share pictures of my beautiful Kashmir. I hope to see it again and again. I enjoyed best time of my life that I will never forget. I met my whole family after seven years.  I was offline from my social life but I believe I was more social by being offline.

In short I really lived in these two months , had wonderful experiences. The memories are enough  for years to come, to keep me smiling. I will miss Kashmir and all its places with natural beauty and above all, my family. Now I know why people in past before this technological development lived longer and healthier life.

We know that its life and we have to move on....

So I am back to normal life.

Ready and ambitious for next year to come , with hope and pray that it will be one of best years.

Honor Killing

Stories from Holidays.

Honor Killing in Kashmir. 

 I want to share a very sad incident of an unnoticed ,unreported case of honor killing in a rural area of Kashmir with all of you today. I hope you will go through this story to support so many women in rural areas who are fighting for their birth rights. 

One day during my holidays I was sitting outside my house with family and we were enjoying beautiful weather of Kashmir. My brother-in-law’s house is just below our house that we normally talk from our lawns with each other.We were sitting up and he was sitting down with family in his lawn and we were talking with each other, his phone started ringing. He answered call and after finishing said to my mother-in-law , “ Mother get ready as you have to attend a funeral in village.”  My mother in law was sad and asked sadly, “ Who died?” Brother-in-law told her about a young lady and explained that it is said that she committed suicide. My mother-in- law then negated to attend the funeral and explained as the girl did not respect the will of God and finished her life. All the family started talking about that lady who was most beautiful girl of village and all felt sad and were wondering what can be the reason behind this suicide. After almost half hour my sister-in-law called us and asked if her mother , my mother –in-law will attend funeral , but she negated on same ground, then my sister- in – law told that it is just a rumor and she has also heard that she is murdered. All of us got surprised and my mother-in-law became sympathetic and quickly got ready to attend funeral.

Mother- in - law left with some other ladies from surrounding for funeral. We were all waiting desperately for her return. When she came back all of us anxiously asked about situation. She told us that everybody was talking that her bother murdered her. She explained that she was in love with brother-in-law of her older sister and they wanted to marry but family was not ready for this relation. When she asked her brothers to let her marry with that guy they got very angry and they forced her to marry their another cousin whom she did not like. After marriage she was not happy and mostly was staying in her mother’s home. She tried to end relation but cousin knew all story and was not ready for any such thing. Finding no hope the girl and other guy( sister's brother- in - law) started contacting and calling each other again , to find some way out.  When brother came to know about this situation he broke the phone and this was ongoing thing , boy use to send her new phone again and again whenever it was broken by her brothers. Finally brother got angry and he told to her sister if he came to know that they are contacting each other he will kill her and he swear on God for this.

I do not know how long this continued and finally boy and girl ran from home and brother got the news. He took some cousins with him and started searching for her and when he got her , he took her in a nearby jungle and killed her. No one knows how he killed her?

My mother-in-law tried to inquire how they have killed her if someone have given her bath in preparation for burial and seen any marks on her body(according to Islam when anyone dies , people give bath and clean dead body before sending them to grave)  , but all told that when they arrived family had prepared and packed the body and left face out for seeing.  But many suspect that they held her breath by a piece of cloth as people seen a piece of cloth and her one shoe in jungle.

All of us were very sad and thought and talked about this situation for many days. It is believed to be a sad and unreported case of “Honor Killing”. We thought that even if someone reports this case, there will be nothing( no punishment) as according to law , her mother or her husband can forgive the murderer , who seems to be her brother and he will not be punished at all.  

There was severe rain at night and it continuously rained all day and many houses fell, land and crops were destroyed, there were many road slides and surprising it rained only in that particular area from that jungle till our village and almost everybody opened holy book Quran and asked for forgiveness from God, as everybody believed that a big sin is committed by people of village and no one stood against it. Everyone was really scared and was thinking that whole city will slide or sink the way it was raining.

I do not know when the people will learn about Islam properly, Islam allows females to express their will for marriage. But mostly people in our part do not care for the will of females and decide their destiny as they want. When she asked properly from family to let her marry that guy , no one allowed her and forced her in marriage with a guy whom she never liked. I believe that her family forced her to run with that guy as they had not left any option for her. No one knows what were their plans but according to Islam a female cannot marry 2 guys at same time.

What about the mother , who is still calm and quiet after losing her child. You will be thinking, what can be circumstances behind that are keeping her away from getting justice for her daughter? May be it's that typical South East Asian mentality , where mother prefer their sons on daughters. Mother do not want her son get hurt and go to jail , no matter what he does .. even kill his sister.
What brother was trying to show actually ? He is real "MAN" ? He is strong? Why no one can deviate from his decision or will? He is smart and wise ? 

I was wondering what can be done in such situation were family members are killers. Is there any way to get justice for such ladies? This was really a sad event and I do not think I can forget this ever. People believe that they killed her and told to people that she committed suicide.... SIGH. Many people also believe that her beauty got bad eyes and she had this horrible end.

There was no report of incident and unfortunately no investigation was done that can make it clear , if it was a murder or a suicide. The truth is buried under deep soil with her beauty forever.

Unfortunately I do not know that girl personally as I never had the time to meet the people of my in-laws village. I hope that people will read from that particular area and stand against this crime. The girl who died need support of villagers for justice. I believe if this crime of brothers went unnoticed then they can be harmful for people in many ways. 

I really hate all those posts that are shared by people on social media about "real man". This is the result of those posts that people believe they will be real when they will be killers. There really are real man in world but I believe they are those , who open world on you , tell you what to do and what is right time to do, who trust you, stand with you, give you confidence to fight for your right. Who appreciate you and trust you as a women. Who do not think that they are perfect and know that they have their own weaknesses and do not feel shy to admit. They are not afraid to express emotions. 

Names of people and place is not mentioned intentionally. 

I am praying from God to bring forward the truth by giving a push to villagers to stand against this crime.  

I appeal from concerned authorities to take strict action and bring culprits to their end. I hope that the court will take notice of this inhuman and brutal act. 


                                        Please Do not Kill Me!!!!  
                                        
                                         Let me live my Life !!!
