PAKISTAN MADE HISTORY: World Record for the Independence Day

On August 14, 2011 early Sunday, Pakistan sets the new world record for most people singing a national anthem at the D.A. ZamZama Club Stadium, Khadda Market, Defence Phase V, Karachi.

Event banner at venue

The event started on the eve of Saturday with the arrival of the participants right after Isha prayers. At that time the city was just recovering from the strike called by a political party. As the crowd seemed to gather for the cause the city witnessed a storm. A storm of heavy wind rain struck the city with all its might. at around 10:30pm. The water flooded the streets and heavy winds started to tear off everything that stood in its way. Even the venue was badly hurt by the pour down. The rain lasted around 20 minutes in Defence. The atmosphere became delightful. Passion for the country and the blessings in the form of rain drops made everyone more enthusiastic despite the wear and tear of wind storm.

One Nation! Still A Dream ..

Recently when I posted a picture on my facebook account, I got some negative critiques and obsessed comments. The picture contained the slogan "No Punjabi, No Sindhi, No Balochi, No Pathan - Only Pakistani".

*Picture in subject

People commented on this picture why "No Mohajir (Immigrants/Refugees)" isn't mentioned in the picture, this is unfair to them. I mean, come on! For God's sake. People are still stuck over this?

If even after almost 64 years you want to be called as Mohajir, I believe you should be ashamed. Why not to be called Pakistani instead? You couldn't own this country even after decades? Why are they so much obsessed with it? Why they get mad when they are not called Mohajir? They should get mad when they are not called or recognized as Pakistani.

I believe it's been long since they migrated, now this country is also your own. I believe every Mohajir living in Punjab is Punjabi, every Mohajir living in Sindh is Sindhi, every Mohajir living in Balochistan is Balouchi and every Mohajir in Frontier is Pakhtoon or Pathan. And above of all we are Pakistani.

Why this one nation dream is still a dream? Will this generation be able to get the privilege to see a united country? Or are we gonna die just like our grand fathers did, with the desire to be called as Pakistani and call others the same?

Let's unite now, it's never too late to get on path. Unity was the dream of the founder of this country. Unity was the dream of every sacrifice laid for this country. Unity was the hope of our forefathers. And unity is the wish of ours.

Be One! Be Green! Be Pakistani!

Make History - World Record for Most People Singing Pakistan National Anthem

Last night I as talking to one of my relative and telling him about the upcoming record breaking event of "WORLD RECORD FOR MOST PEOPLE SINGING NATIONAL ANTHEM", by singing Pakistan's national anthem.

I was amazed to see how negative his thoughts were towards this event. According to him this event is of no good. It is just a waste of time and just another excuse to party. He believes if we really want to make a difference or want to bring change then we should do something better. He also added in a very grinning manner that this habit of our nation to has brought us here that we don't even think straight and prioritize.

MAKTOOB: A possible excuse

I'm writing this post as a reply on a topic of "Maktoob" on one of my newly followed blog "Mrs. Usuf's World". You can read the post "Maktoob" on this link http://tinylink.in/LFG

I accept the fact that everything happens for a reason. I would also agree with the theory of "Maktoob", but honestly you can't always go with it. I mean I'm a pretty realistic person. Although I don't have any doubt that things happens according to the Creator of the universe the Almighty Allah but my mind Lso tells me that I just can't keep doing wrong and keep saying "Maktoob". Even as ordered by Allah S.W.T., a Muslim must atleast learn enough to know what's wrong or right for him/her.

In short, I mean to say that OK! everything happens cause of Maktoob but even that happens cause we choose that path. When we say that it was written, it doesn't mean that it is fixed. There is a Maktoob for every action that a human do or for every path that a human chooses. Aleast an effort is a must.

Now the decision becomes the human choice, rest is Maktoob!
