Sunday Surkhi--Memorial day

 Tomorrow there will be parades all over the country. Memorial day presumably for those who died in wars.
 Wars are considered as legitimate licences for killing fellow human beings
 (the way I see it-Not that there are no genuine reasons for wars or for killing fellow humans)
There are movies that I have watched every year during this week, like 'Patton' or 'McArther' or other big names Many other names in the human history are recalled for winning big in wars and many of those wars were started by "war-mongers' who were known as kings and emperors. Many wars were just meant for increasing the areas governed by the kings and no other reason and we called it lack of civilization. Have the world become more civilized?
 The way I have watched the end of previous  and the beginning of the present century I find that there is change now.
When a country attacks another country to occupy the call it"the country is being given freedom"
May be this should be a memorial for the "human civilization"

Jum'ah Journal

 "Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet, 
Women and sons, 
Heaped up hoards of gold and silver
 Horses branded (for blood &excellence)
And (wealth of) Cattle and
Well-tilled land.
Such are the possessions of this world's life But in the nearness to God is the best of the goals (to return to)"
                                                                    (Sura Al-e Imran verse 14.)
  Well in today's world make some equivalent changes for understanding--For gold and silver -- Bank balances
For Horses---Expensive autos and personal planes
 for cattle and land---Big mansions in specific cities and countries
 for women and sons, just delete sons and write WOMEN in capital letters.
 I wrote women in the end but the real sequence as the Creator himself has remarked, it is to be given the top place. When big aristocrats and bankers with lot of money and possessions and people with POWER, (Both with and without the enormous musculature) the only thing left is women women and women. Man's history is full of that. Would anybody turn to the advice and admonition of God?

Jum'ah Ournal- Qiyamat Aa gayi?

  I know I am late but I was wondering whether we shall see this day to the end.
 I did not see the whole movie but only a part of it. Jack Benny (The man who remained 39 for 40 years)
"There is a 'chief' (consider God) who is reported by his assistants that one of the planets has gone rotten so the chief decides to destroy it. He is told it is called earth. He is recommended a 'angel' who is a known gentleman with music interests especially such instruments that require blowing. So the chief gives him instructions how to blow it but when he blows it it sounds musical and not the destroying sound that it  is supposed to emit. Chief tells him (Jack Benny) it will only do that sound if you blow it
at exactly 12 midnight on a particular day.
 So he takes his instrument and just before the midnight time on that day he goes on top of the building to blow it and finds a woman sitting there and crying her eyes out.
 What is the matter, He asks
 My beloved does not want to marry me.
 Dont worry, stop crying and in a couple of minutes you wont need that. She ignores his advice but  then his further advice gives her a tip
 She wants to jump from the building
 he went over to help her and got in trouble
 To cut the story short.
 Well you can tell what happened.
 He joined a group of many other "failed angels"
And so the earth goes on.....
 They do not make such hilarious movies any more

Sunday Surkhi-The late Mr. Holbrooke

 Kristof's article appeared in NY times that Mr. Holbrooke knew Afghanistan will be like Vietnam and suggested to clearly sit down on the table for solving the problems in the area and included Pak-India Kashmir problem also.
 I saw more than 50 "comments" and the most remarkable thing I saw was Indians writing about how wrong Holbrooke and Kristoff are about Pakistan. The writers showed a complete lack of  ethical sense and were showing'anger' at suggestions for treating Pakistan as a soverign country. One of them went as far as suggesting that let the Afghan and Pashtoons take areas on Pakistan side of Durand line and break up Pakistan into Sind Panjab Belochistan (Finish Pakistan completely) and Azad Kashmir be given back to India because India is a multicultural secular country (no mention of Hinduvta) and the Kashmir  become whole as a part of India.
 Wow.
 In contrast to these Hindu sounding names I read three Muslim sounding names also commenting but none of them made such outrageous remarks and in fact no mention of Indopak differences about Kashmir.
 And then they say we Muslims/Pakistanis are religious zealots and fundamentalists and what not. Such anti Muslim 'rants' still exist in India, the real reason for Muslims to have a separate land.

Jum'ah Journal--Health & Wealth

 "It is not appropriate for a mortal to be confident of two qualities:
 Health and Wealth.
One whom you saw healthy one moment is suddenly taken ill, and one whom you saw rich one moment, is suddenly bankrupt."

Obama got Osama

   Or did he?
 It remains the question. Why was his body immediately thrown into the sea?
 Why are we not seeing any pictures of that dead body about which the man who shot him should be hailed as the hero.
 As everybody says that these questions will remain un-answered.  I believe that the man died long time ago. I remember he was said to have been admitted in a Dubai hospital on 6th September 2001, for renal dialysis. How could he live in caves? Well knowing he had so much money he could have renal dialysis equipment with him after all he did have a physician with him all the time dubbed as his assistant.
What ever the truth I am happy that the myth has ended and reasons to wrap-up the war against terror have a beginning. Also US economy being in shambles it seems prudent to bring this all to a stop before we end up, if we already are not there, like USSR.
 Now you may ask why not try find the truth?
 To tell you the truth I gave up on this pursuit long time ago. I never believe the media and the news they tell us which is mostly to entertain us rather than inform us. So, I feel 'entertained' by the news of Osama, may Allah forgive his sins and now we can say that officially, there will be so many opinions written about this now for the next few years to come.    
Then why are the Americans considering Pakistanis did not help them but helped Osama!
 If the Pakistanis did not track what American elite force were able to accomplish--a surgical operation--- neat and so to say without Pakistanis knowing anything just next door to their major army training camp, (A'int they dumb and totally incapable?) then there should be no surprise that they did not know about Osama he was living there. It would be actually surprising if they did know it,
