Voice of Common Pakistani !!!

Scooty…….
Yeah same Scooty that I thought could be a road to lead our women to empowerment. A means of transportation that would provide security against harassment of public transport, harassment of reaching home late after office hours and a means of family transport for many single middle class women who are bread winner for their families.
I put my thoughts in my previous post, discussed it with friends who belong to corporate sector, asked them their opinion and insight about the possibilities.
To my horror and surprise, an idea which was for middle class working women (for a start of trend in Lahore and Karachi alone) was rejected by women themselves, who are working independent, well educated, apparently confident, moderate and with updated with latest trends (in dressing atleast) desirous to help women, spokes person of women rights and above all women who have studied in best of institutes, travelled abroad and are no way conservative for themselves. Strange isn’t it? Yes my friends our women have dual standards. I do not want to discuss women and their approach here. Read more »

We participate in number of talks and sessions, where empowerment of women is discussed. We give our idea and opinions, we strongly support the idea and it becomes a heated emotional discussion.

That’s all………………….. Yes truly that’s about it. We have made most of the issues, a drawing room discussion. Issues and topics are given a lip service and nothing solid, concrete and particle is ever done.

Empower women, is one of the topics in constant discussion. Recently I had a chance to participate in a training “Gender Sensitization” facilitated by Mr. and Mrs. Imran Rizvi of RIZ Consultancy at Royal Palm, Lahore.

The event was a one day talk session and it really jolted me, when I came to know that Pakistan stands 56 out of 58 countries, where women participation in the main helm of affairs is missing. Just think of it 56th. I know our numbers would be bad as that’s how we have always been somehow lately. But at 56 out of 58 was an eye opener to me. The training went smooth and everyone participated according to his/ her approach, thoughts and opinion. But I got stuck………………..

Yeah as usual, me and my weird thoughts. Why we are at 56? How can we improve in this number game? What all could be done to change our future and improve women participation in all walks of life.

I had chances to travel abroad and look at the culture, traditions, religions, custom and norms with a “non-traditional vision”. I began a memory search of various nearby countries that excelled in past 15 years. The list comprised of India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Indonesia and North Korea. I sat on internet and I Google (d) few pages and the answer was right there in front of my eyes, exactly as I had thought.

All these countries progressed when, women empowerment began by providing women transport. All these countries had poor public transport system. Instead of spending Billions of dollars to improve public transport, they promoted individual women transport. By introducing “SCOOTY” for women. A simple and affordable solution to 90% of the female population. Self start automatic gear box solution for the ease of women. Read more »

Life moves on and its said we (human beings) learn from the past. But do we specially the Pakistani breed ever learn?

12th May is approaching, I wonder what it unfolds this year, all I wish is peace harmony and brotherhood amongst us as a nation.

I am in Karachi like last year to witness 12 may. It was a horrifying day spent receiving calls from friends and family if I was fine or yet alive.

The rumour is spreading fast that there is a dead line for Punjabi’s and Pathan’s to Leave Sind before 12th of May. I hope thats all bullshit and no such word came out from political wings. I hope the leaders out their are awake and act before time and ensure their “kan tutta’s” are not involved in anything STUPID.

Swat, Dir and Bunair are under war, govt clamis to clean Pakistan. Clean Pakistan from what?
I am not in favor of the extremists, no definitely not………..

But am I with the govt, the way it is conducting its clean up operation? I fear to say but I see another Lal Masjid ……………

The media again is selling news instead of behaving or using its POWER to bring out the think tanks and give a proper solution they are disintegerating the very thought of a common Pakistani with bombardment of TONS of opinion. May they be in favor of pakistan or not.

There is a need of clean up, but the clean up of thoughts and reasons not human lives, as this will multiply and spread beyound our provincial and national borders.

A man died and went to heaven. He saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

He asked the angel, ‘What are all those clocks?’

Angel answered, ‘Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Read more »

Tonight I am wondering if it’s a night or a new day for Pakistan.
Before saying anything or before feeling good or happy, I feel we must all thank the lawyers, civil society, media and general public for the WIN over the staled and feudal political scene.
Let’s hope its the opening of a new era, without corruption and with responsibility. I am really happy and thrilled if it happens but does it mean tomorrow traffic wardens will not take bribe? Police will not harrass a common Pakistani, feudals will not exploit the poor?
Things will not change over night BUT I am hopeful may be this is one of the nights that changes the course of nations. Nations like Korea, China, Malaysia etc.
May Allah be with us….
Thank you lawyers, thank you civil society and thank you media for giving us a reason to fight for a cause peacefully.

Once I was a very serious part and parcel of a show aired on business plus “Looseends” which later evolved into a society Looseends Pakistan. I became the founder member and the zonal head. The society had a very small life and it died soon after its registration. Reason was simple and yet common the POWER hunger.

I left the society as I found myself misfit and continued doing my bit as I was doing it in Looseends Pakistan.

This article is in the memories of Looseends Pakistan, where we conceived the idea of labeling anyone doing anything wrong would be called PaPpU, may he be a doctor, a political figure or a celebrity and even a common Pakistani.

Anyone doing anything wrong, starting from throwing a match stick on road to looting tax payers money. He/ She will be termed as PaPpU………………. Read more »

Is it true??? My life is mine only, no one has a reason to object, no one dares to point a finger at me, and no one is allowed to comment.

Sounds pretty democratic, isn’t it?

But NO, my life is not mine only; we are interwoven with each other. My limits end where your limit starts. Rather at some points it’s overlapping each other as well.

I don’t have a solo space or a solo role in this world.

Why do we live with this vision and feelings that whatever I do has no affect on others?

It’s my body what if I don’t cover it with clothes, why people object. It’s my nudity RIGHT.

I feel like writing about many things at times and I find myself short of words, at times I run short of ideas. It’s easy to criticize but I believe, till the time I do not have an alternate, the criticism is useless.

Criticism is not only healthy but it also helps in improving. But are we open to criticism as a nation?? No, we are not. It’s widely seen that people, who like to “preach”, believe themselves to be better in vision and opinion. Whereas in my personal findings, these kind of individuals are “attention seekers”, “stubborn” and like “buttering”. These preachers create a filter around them that only lets in those who are slippery with Butter and have the desire and will to “bow”. This filtering process stops the fresh air and the contamination rises. Read more »

What ever happened on the political pitch is not debatable as I am not educated enough on the subject. I am the free lance VOTER of Pakistan, I am the vote bank for every political party, and it’s needless to say what political group I belong too as to me. My political group is Pakistan. Anybody for Pakistan is my political wing. I may have a difference of opinion but I will not have a different objective other than the betterment of MY COUNTRY.

No one is clean, all the parties are tried and tested and rejected more than one time, so it’s useless to blame any individual or any party. If we gave 3rd chance each to PPP and PML to come and guide us to our united objective then NONE of the party is needed to get into the BLOODY BLAME GAME. Read more »
