My house is full of problems,24 hour running sewerage water in front of my house,7 1/2 hours of load shedding of electricity,noise of family members,small fights between family members makes it worse to live in my house.When i take a nap after college , the playing children in the street and their noise do not allow me to sleep.Lot of guests come to my house so i have no privacy there .Often i have to do some odd jobs in my house , when i do not want to do them.
These are the some sentences we often say .I also sometimes say that.On 15th of April, my father was admitted in the Hill Park General Hospital as he was feeling pain in the gall bladder due to stones in it.Doctor suggested his operation on 16th of April so he was admitted one day before that.I stayed in that hospital for 32 hours from 15th to 16th.The hospital was very big ,very much bigger than my house ,much cleaner than my house.The Hospital administration has their own generators so there was no load shedding for a second.No family member was there to make noise , no fights between them disturbed me and when i took a nap no noise of the children their because children were not allowed in that hospital.When i stayed there no odd jobs that i used to do in my home were there so i was completely free.But during my stay of 32 hours there for not a single second i feel happiness and relaxation that i used to have in my house.All the things i hated about my house were not present in hospital,no sewerage water,no load shedding, no noise ,no playing children , no guests and no work at all.At that day the Karachi was struck by an earth quake of magnitude 7.8 and at that time i was just thinking that how will be my family members and how will be my house,at that time i wished to be in house .I feel the real value of my house when i stayed outside.
After the nuclear attack of America on Japan, Japan went through the worst economy of the history where the rate of a bread becomes equal to 40,000 Pakistani rupees but not a single person from Japan left and for many of the coming years they didn't use the bread and only eat the boiled potatoes.Now they are leading in the Electronics industry.On 9/11 the America faced the worst terrorism of their time,how many Americans left their country??? no one, they fought being united but Alas! we Pakistanis are dividing ourselves.During 1900 to 1920 France , England Italy was suffering from the worst target killings of history but they didn't run, they fought.Brazil went trough the worst times as development is concern but now they are building their roads and as well as nation.We always say that Pakistan is not like big countries of the world , the reason is that their people love their country and Pakistanis are leaving their countries so how Pakistan will prosper and develop?The more you watch media the more you become afraid of your own motherland.Make a visit to any old age home you will see that the mothers whose children left them become a living dead so how you can think that when everybody is leaving Pakistan, the Pakistan will become stronger?

After suffering from this loneliness i am very confused that how the people living outside their country,survive there?Like the example i gave above there are many many problems in my country like Pakistan is not as clean as the western countries,No energy crisis like Pakistan ,many of the western cities are not noisy and thickly populated like Pakistan,no target killings are there.But when we see a Pakistani in the other country we feel happiness and feel like home far from home.The people go outside their country just for one thing that is money and just for that one thing they sacrifice all their happiness and instead of living freely in their motherland they go to countries which never give them the respect , they work like Donkey's for the other countries but when they are asked to give few more minutes after their job timings in Pakistan they never give so.Is Pakistan is the first country which is going through a bad economy?Is Pakistan is the first country to face terrorism?Is Pakistan is the first country where Target killing is happening?Is Pakistan is the only country which has dirty and broken roads?The answer for every single question in No.

So always say Long Leave Pakistan Long Live Pakistan.Love your country, Live in your Country because there is "Nothing Like Home".

ReplyDeleteThank you and yes we really need to pay attention to our motherland.
Bravo.... u made my day.... the stuff n the spirit I want to read n see in youngsters... keep it up.... never giveup
ReplyDelete+humera qazi
ReplyDeleteThank you , i will keep that spirit and may this spirit becomes common in our youth.
Indeed, there is nothing like home.
ReplyDeleteWe blame terrorist and other people for creating a bad image of Pakistan in front of rest of the world. But actually we(Pakistanis) are the one who is only responsible for that. Our blogs, news papers, articles, electronic media everything only provokes problems in Pakistan. Nobody reveals the other side of the coin, the brighter one. That's why the upcoming generation, our youth only knows about crisis in Pakistan. They don't know that how much potential this country has!
V Pakistani r hypocrites...
ReplyDeleteYes , no doubt that what Pakistan has shown to the world is very much lower than the actual potential of Pakistan.We have largest untapped copper reserves,2nd largest coal reserves(estimated at 185 billion tonnes),3rd largest cotton producers,6th largest wheat producer and the list goes on and on.
ReplyDeleteA writing piece rich in love with country.May this passion live long
ReplyDelete@ Afifa Maryam
ReplyDeleteSurely this passion will live long.
As you said there is no place like home, i agree with it. Pakistan kay pass kafi resources hain , but ya resources kisi kam ki nahi jub tak in ko proper use karnay walay na hon, ya kadar karnay walay, so what i think is, Pakistan kay pass kafi resources zaroor hain in numbers, but utilize nahi ho raheen.
ReplyDelete@ Sundus
ReplyDeleteAgar resources use nahi ho rahi to iska matlab ye nahi k mulk bura hai han hum ye keh sakte hain ke abhi nizam ko sahi karna hai aur nizam chalane walo ko sahi karna hai.
