The promise of a new age

The promise of a new age

Prime Minister Imran Khan has suddenly changed his media team which is very popular these days and all the opposition parties have also welcomed the new team with great generosity. He has replaced Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan with Senator Shibli Faraz, who is the Leader of the House in the Senate and is known as a "civilized face" of the PTI. He is the promising son of the famous poet of our time, Mr. Ahmad Faraz (late) and is respected in national circles due to his politeness and knowledge. Along with them, the Prime Minister has selected Lt. Gen. (Retd) Saleem Asim Bajwa, who is the Chairman of the C-Pack Authority, as his Honorary Special Assistant for Information and will continue to hold the post. His personality was very popular in the Pakistani and foreign media at a time when he was the Director General of Military Public Relations for four years and he had made a name for himself in the print and electronic media with his unparalleled abilities. That relationship continues today. His greatest achievement is that the ISPR, which was earlier housed in a few military barracks, turned it into a great institution and with its extraordinary professional intelligence filled the personality of General Raheel Sharif with greatness. Was It is hoped that these dignitaries will play a vital role in improving the national situation.

Today's situation in the country is so extraordinary that on the one hand the corona virus has disrupted the entire system of life, on the other hand the economic challenge is taking a dangerous shape while on the other hand the Indian leadership under the influence of Hindutva is occupying the Muslim majority in occupied Kashmir. Is looking for excuses to turn into a minority and commit aggression against Pakistan. Our brave and faithful armed forces are fully capable of reminding their mischievous neighbor of holiday milk and are also tasked with providing assistance to their civilian agencies in emergencies, but the affairs of civilian governments are particularly strained. There is an urgent need to improve and keep the lamp of hope burning in the hearts of the people. Today, on the one hand, there is a fierce confrontation between the government and the opposition, which is making it difficult to formulate solid and stable national policies. On the other hand, rhetoric on the distribution and use of powers and resources between the federation and the provinces is in full swing. And relations between the federation and Sindh province are in a way giving the impression of enmity. The federal government's position is that the lockdown cannot be enforced for long, as it will starve millions of day laborers and drown the economy. Our very shrewd planning minister, Mr. Asad Omar, has also revealed that 18 million families have lost their jobs in a month and a half of lockdown.

Contrary to the federal position, the Sindh government's view is that lockdown is essential to limit the effects of the corona virus, as the doctors' community insists. China and South Korea have used the same method to control the virus. To get the most out of the lockdown, all governments, departments and agencies must adopt a uniform policy. It is now up to the National Command and Operations to decide whether to tighten or relax the lockdown after May 9 so that life can return to normal. At this stage, personalities involved in information and broadcasting can play a leading role in creating awareness and discipline among the people. As Mr. Shibli Faraz will be on the front line as Pakistan's spokesperson, he must focus on promoting a culture of political reconciliation and dialogue and fostering mutual trust and human respect, otherwise the non-political powers Opportunities to establish their supremacy will continue to arise.

Despite the gravity of the situation, there is good news that Chinese scientists are working day and night to discover a vaccine for the corona virus and have invited Pakistani scientists to join the process. A Punjab University research institute has come up with new innovations in testing for corona virus. The International Chemistry Institute of Karachi University is conducting valuable experiments to detect the nature of the virus. Pakistani companies have also developed a large number of devices that are very helpful in controlling the corona virus. There is also verified news that we are in a position to export sanitizers and testing kits are also being manufactured in Pakistan. Safety clothing and equipment are also being tested. A group of Pakistani youth in the UK has announced that Pakistan is going to be self-sufficient in the production of ventilators which can be exported in a few months. If our nation is disciplined and true democracy is established in our politics on a sustainable basis, we can build a great future on the ruins of an outdated social and economic system. A five-member bench of the apex court headed by Hon'ble Chief Justice Gulzar Ahmed, while reviewing the cases of corona virus, remarked that due to false ego, there is an atmosphere of non-cooperation between the federal and provincial governments which needs to be changed. There is a need and if a uniform policy is not adopted then we will be forced to issue an interim order. Even before its turn, the political leadership has to prove its prudence, mature ideology and high moral character

This is not the work of superficial, shallow,

This is not the work of superficial, shallow, 

But a few newspaper reports changed the intention and the column. First of all, the statement of the new Information Minister that without the help of the people, it will not be possible to compete with Corona.

Of course, this is one hundred percent accurate but one hundred percent incomplete statement because no government in human history has ever been able to do anything in any field or field without the help of the people. That is why every notable leadership in the world has first focused on "nation building" which I have been writing "humanization" for a long time because no government can achieve any goal without making men human.

Even if any success is found, it will be fake, artificial, temporary and temporary. The process of "humanization" is extremely complex, patient, difficult and long. Most importantly, there are no "shortcuts".

This is not the work of superficial, shallow, hasty people who grow mustard on speeches, speeches and palms. The translation of a wonderful English proverb would be something like this: “One rainy season is enough for a bush to grow and grow young, while a young oak tree needs at least a hundred rainy seasons for its youth. It takes time. ”

Our tragedy is that our so-called leaderships are so intellectually bankrupt that they lose the ability to understand such idioms. They are obsessed with waking up every night and performing "miracles" as a result of which they do not get God nor do they get sanam.

And so such leadership turns into the dust of history by performing a few tricks in a few years. What an incredible miracle in just a short span of 23 years that he turned the smallest particles into suns, moons and moons.

It makes sense for a Muslim to say this, but consider that a high-minded Christian thinker like Professor Philip HITTI writes in his famous book HISTORY OF ARABS: “After the death of the Prophet of Islam. It was as if the barren lands of Arabia had been turned into a nursery of great heroes by magic, and it was impossible to find anywhere with such a large number of personalities. "

Subhan Allah! I wish Professor Philip would also refer to the fact that at that time the population of Makkah and Madinah was not in crores, lakhs but only in thousands.

Is there a single leader in human history who has created a two-legged leader? There is a lot to change in terms of priorities, but what's the point?

Corona on the one hand, the shaky economy of Creek on the other, the Indian madness looking for excuses to attack Pakistan, the Prime Minister himself says that India's accusation against Pakistan and firing on the LoC is for the same purpose. And the fourth side-

Leaving aside the government and the opposition, the government's own allies, Shujaat Hussain and Pervez Elahi, have been forced to approach the High Court against the NAB, threatening to secede from the government and saying, Decisions have been made and they do not have the authority to open a 19-year-old closed inquiry.

The Chaudhry brothers did not forgive any debt. The so-called Assets Inquiry continued for 17 years. In 2000, the houses of our Chaudhry brothers were raided and killed. The NAB even measured Shujaat's house. No foreign assets have ever come to light.

To date, not even the name of any bank has been mentioned, of which we are defaulters, and no claim of any bank has ever come to light. In such a case, if not revenge, what else will they say?

The matter is in the High Court and according to a Punjabi proverb, “Jutt jaane te baju jaane” I am just wondering what is happening outside of us but what is happening and how we have created chaos inside.

The government's turn to the east, the opposition's turn to the west, the Allies' turn to the north, the people's turn toward inflation and tolerance, the Corona's turn toward the economy on all sides. He was under the naked swords of the ruthless Tatars and while searching for answers to strange questions from various types of "leaders" to the people, he finally became a dream.

Maybe in your heart ...

Maybe in your heart ...

The highest kind of knowledge and wisdom is that which is preserved in the last book of the Holy Qur'an. The second type is what we find in books. By its very nature, knowledge is the food of the soul as well as the food of the body. The third type of knowledge, which we do not attach much importance to, is hidden in our own book of life, our experiences and observations, and our thoughts. Life's journey is interesting and fast and each person's journey is unique and different. Man learns step by step and writes in his book of life. If there is a habit of contemplation and a passion to adapt or improve oneself or to train oneself, then one applies one's personal experiences to one's body and improves one's behavior in the light of those experiences. The book of life is the only book that never ends because the process of learning, understanding and adoption continues till the last breath of life. We read and breathe a great deal of precise, research and scholarly books, but the book of life ends only when life itself passes through the stage of action and enters the stage of accountability. Life is the name of action, freedom and willingness to act, while life after life is the destination of accountability. This is where the process ends and the calculation begins.

When the third type of knowledge came to mind, life began to revolve before our eyes like a movie. When I remember an incident, I realized that in the long but short journey of life, some things are stored in the mind, some advice or advice given with love and sincerity and sincerity make a permanent place in the heart and the guiding principles of life. Become It is also a strange experience that a person hears a lot throughout his life but sometimes certain things affect him and become a part of life. Perhaps there are moments of acceptance when the softness of heart and the warmth of nature create in man such a state that he preserves what he hears in his heart like a priceless treasure or decorates it like a priceless pearl. Human conditions change and so does the scale of human acceptance.

I was about twenty-four years old when I passed the competitive exam. During this period, the prestige of the civil service was on the rise and success in competitive examinations was considered a sign of a bright future. Even so, twenty-four years of age is the age of aspirations, dreams and passions. When I look back, the flower of dreams and aspirations now looks desolate and only one desire has overcome all other desires. That desire is a prayer for forgiveness. In the journey of life some desires or aspirations become prayers. If prayer molds a person in its form, it becomes a reality, otherwise it becomes just a dream and keeps knocking at the mind. Before joining the training academy, Nanhial came to greet his grandmother John. I remember very well that ever since I opened the eyes of consciousness, I found Nani Jan praying for herself. I used to take exams and worry about my grandmother. She used to sit at the place of prayers all the time, spin the beads of the rosary, offer prayers and raise her hands and beg in the court of God for my success. When I saw her, she would greet me by saying Bismillah and would sit with her on the "throne". When he told me to join the training academy in a few days, he said goodbye to me. There was advice, there was a will and there was a key to success in this world and in the hereafter. All they knew was that I was going to be a senior officer. Said the son. Doing justice, helping people, taking special care of widows, orphans, Zakat of the chair comes out of it. What this advice was was a flower of prayer that lingered in my heart all my life. Time has passed, decades have passed, countless mistakes have been made, sins and slips are innumerable, but one thing I can say for sure is that during my 37 years of service, I have not deliberately abused or treated anyone unfairly, nor with recommendations and pressure. Despite making wrong decisions. The concept of halal sustenance has always been in mind and has been performing its duties honestly. He took care of orphans and widows as much as possible. I believe that good advice is charity. Zakat is obligatory and its payment purifies wealth, but in my opinion the concept of Zakat is not only on wealth but it applies to the whole personality and the whole life. Good advice, good advice, words or writings inclined towards goodness is Zakat on the heart and mind, good morals, Zakat on the inner self, fasting and service to the people are Zakat on the body, religious duties are performed on the body with the heart and soul. Zakat is etc. Hazrat Ali ibn Uthman Hajwary has written in Kashf al-Mahjoob quoting a blessed hadith: “Zakat is an expression of gratitude for blessings. Therefore, Zakat is not limited to gold, silver and wealth, but applies to every blessing. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has enjoined upon you the Zakat of your rank in the same way as for the wealth ... The Zakat of the house is hospitality Yes ... ”We believe that Zakat is obligatory only on wealth. By paying it, we get rid of Zakat, although Zakat is an obligatory act of purity in addition to being obligatory on one's rank and status, which continues in every sphere of life.

CPEC: Welcome ambitions

The long-running Pak-China Economic Corridor project from Gwadar to Kashgar 

is an extension of the Silk Road in the 21st century, which aims to deliver oil, gas and other products in a shorter time through Gwadar port, railways and motorways. The world's largest project of its kind has further strengthened Pak-China friendship, but opposition to this game-changer project, both internally and externally, is not hidden from anyone. The trio of US, Israel and India crossed all boundaries of hostility to thwart the project, even to the point of separating Balochistan and Karachi from Pakistan for the failure of C-Pak, according to the record statement of Indian spy Kulbhushan Yadav. Was on a mission. Fortunately, Pakistan thwarted all such conspiracies. Asim Saleem Bajwa, Chairman C-PAC Authority, told reporters in Islamabad on Wednesday that there was no impediment to the C-PAC project. To begin with, China and Pakistan have categorically rejected US concerns over C-Pack, including allegations of corruption and higher electricity tariffs. With forethought, it is possible to easily avoid future losses. The world will see that the situation before and after Corona will be radically different, the post-Corona situation will require hard work and strategy for economic stability, in which case if C-Pack becomes active, all of Corona's victims Before that, our region will be on the path to stability. China and Pakistan have made a wise decision to complete the C-Pack in a timely manner, which should not be hindered or delayed.
At a time when the Corona epidemic is still hovering over our heads and does not seem to be faltering, the effects on the economy are beginning to show. The most worrying report of the Ministry of Finance is that in the first nine months of the current financial year, the country's budget deficit from July to March, which was earlier 3.8 percent to Rs 1688 billion, increased to 9.6 percent by the end of the financial year (June 30). During this period, Pakistan has so far taken an external loan of Rs. 15 trillion 80 crore, while Rs. 8 trillion 18 billion 44 crore has been spent on repaying loans. On the other hand, in the first nine months, a total revenue of Rs 46.89 trillion was collected, which was 10.7% of GDP. In these difficult circumstances, the federal budget for the financial year 2020-21 is being prepared. It is questionable what effect the Corona epidemic will have on its budget if the costs continue unabated. However, the government is rightly aware of this, as the Prime Minister has repeatedly said, and now on Wednesday, the Ministry of Finance and the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) introduced a risk-sharing mechanism to encourage banks to support small and medium-sized businesses. It has decided to provide Rs 30 billion as subsidy in the form of loan through which the entrepreneur will have to pledge not to dismiss his employees within three months. In that case, the government will bear 40% of the debt. The FBR has also abolished certain penalties for non-payment of sales tax. Such initiatives take time; however, they need to be completed with homework

Habits after Corona

Habits after Corona

The Trump administration's Center for Disease Control in the United States has warned Congress that immediate control of the corona virus is unlikely, and the fight against it will be long and difficult. This is a situation in which medical professionals, including World Health Organization (WHO) experts, are emphasizing the need to maintain a lockdown. Economists fear that food production and proper distribution arrangements will lead to starvation deaths. May be victims. Social discipline and the system of government also require all the activities related to money. Demonstrations have also taken place in several countries to end the lockdown, while Italian news shows that people are seeking help from "mafias" for food and other necessities. As far as Pakistan is concerned, according to a survey conducted in Sindh, people are taking the risks posed by Corona seriously but are also worried about the economic impact of the lockdown, unemployment and hardships and want federal, provincial And city governments should take steps to further improve their performance. This review makes it clear that the people of Pakistan, despite all the difficulties of the past, are as ready today as they were to cooperate with all kinds of governments. If better planning, performance and homework are demonstrated at the government level too, good days can be expected soon. The National Command and Operations Center (NCCO) meeting on Wednesday approved proposals to open shopping malls across the country from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 8 to 12 p.m., and three provinces closed educational institutions, railways and inter-provincial transport. Keeping supported. In this case, the final decision of the National Coordinating Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday, will certainly include an analysis of all aspects that are expected to emerge by the time these lines are published. However, it must be borne in mind that the spread of "Corona" has changed the world in such a way that we have to adapt our habits to new conditions. While health and education should be given top priority in national policies, the view of the elders should also be kept in mind that the tactics of the enemy should not be neglected under any circumstances. Prime Minister Imran Khan rightly pointed out that India is looking for excuses to attack Pakistan. New Delhi's accusatory tactics, firing on the Line of Control and increasing atrocities on Kashmiris demand that Pakistan remain fully vigilant even in the face of this dire humanitarian situation. Islamabad is fully prepared to respond to any adventure by the enemy as it did in February last year and is also in touch with the international community. While education and health must be given top priority in government policies at the domestic level, the people must also change their habits. In many countries it is customary to eat dinner before sunset, go to bed early and wake up early. Islam has set a formal timetable in which Isha prayers are the last activity of the day and all personal and official responsibilities including the rights of Allah and the rights of worshipers must be fulfilled throughout the day with the pre-dawn awakening. Have we considered the many benefits of adopting this practice, including gaining the pleasure of God and saving our personal health as well as electricity? Corona is a challenge, but we can make it easier for us if we want to.

The coldest city in the world with 270 days of snow a year.

The coldest city in the world with 270 days of snow a year. 

The northern hemisphere is currently in the grip of cold and the daylight is getting colder and colder, but the weather is not as common in other cities as the Russian city of Norilsk. Residents do not even see the sun until mid-January and it is said to be the coldest city in the world.

It is one of the two Siberian cities that remain frozen all year round, with more than 175,000 residents experiencing an average temperature of minus 61 degrees Celsius in winter.

The overall year-round temperature is minus 10 degrees Celsius, which is why it is also called the coldest city because the average temperature in Yakutsk, another Siberian city, is even higher.

Then there is the snow and the city is covered with snow for 270 days throughout the year and one out of every 3 days the residents face a blizzard.

This city is completely cut off from the world, every city in the world with a population of one million or more, Norilsk is located in the far north and despite the large area there are no roads.

The city is located 1,800 miles from Moscow and can only be reached by plane or boat, and is so different from the rest of the world that its inhabitants often call Russia the mainland.

But apart from that, there is a lot of hustle and bustle in the city, public transport, cafes, art galleries, a big cinema and other modern facilities, while new people are constantly coming here to live, due to good income.

Because the city has reserves of platinum, nickel and palladium and is considered to be the richest city in Russia.

These are very precious metals and the income of their miners is very good, while most of them are owned by a company whose income is equal to 2% of the total GDP of Russia.

Thanks to its ears, it is one of the most polluted cities in the world as well as the world's coldest city. Content is available.

As a result of mining, the water of the nearby river had turned red some time ago.

By the way, the people here do not like the cold weather and pollution and call it beautiful where they do not like to move.

By the way, the coldest village in the world is also in the region where the average temperature in January is minus 50 degrees Celsius and the ice freezes in the blink of an eye as soon as it comes out of the four walls.

Pipes are not installed on houses here as there is a fear of them exploding due to freezing of water. Vehicles are always moving so that petrol does not freeze.

This is Omiyakon in the Russian state of Siberia, where an electronic temperature thermometer exploded in early 2018 at minus 62 degrees Celsius.

"Who will sew clothes if there are two loaves of bread?"

"Who will sew clothes if there are two loaves of bread?"

"Brother, take my 2 suits and this matching lace with you."
Baji 2 will not be able to, I will try to give one until the moon night. I stopped booking clothes a week ago but you are an old customer so I am full.

This interesting repetition, insistence and denial used to be a common sight in every street corner tailor shop in Ramadan, but the Corona virus has locked up tailor shops along with other artisans.

There is nothing wrong with including tailors in the most affected category due to the lockdown in Ramadan. Despite the popularity of sewn clothes, Ramadan is the time of year when the tailor becomes the most important person.

Tailor shops are open all night after the 15th fast. The tailors then cut the stockpile of clothes and give them to their deputy tailors, who leaned on the machines to mold them into beautiful and freshly designed pairs. But today, tailor shops are also deserted due to the Corona virus epidemic, and the class, which has been waiting for the Eid season all year round, is in dire straits.

Atif, a resident of Shah Faisal Colony in Karachi, is associated with a ready-made clothes shop in a local shopping mall. Atif used to take home 30,000 rupees a month for sewing joints. Atif, who was living with his infant child, wife and mother, was doing well. Then Corona came and the malls closed and Atif was forced to stay at home.

Atif Taylor
"I am the sole breadwinner of my house," Atif said. The work has been stopped for 2 months, the women for whom I sew clothes are kind, they are helping something. But he questioned how long it would last. His business is small and closed at the moment so he is very upset and in trouble. I am living on loan from relatives, I have not been able to pay the rent and bill for 2 months. I am only paying rations and baby milk from the loan. It is not clear when the situation will improve and when our jobs will be restored. Corona and Lockdown have destroyed us.

The story of Taylor Kausar, a woman who runs a shop on Rashid Minhas Road in Karachi, is no different. "My husband is retired and I have three children, one of whom is mentally handicapped," Kausar said. There are 2 more tailors in the shop. The store has been closed for 2 months and the rent is going up. Now you have to pay the electricity bill and the above expenses are different. But the situation is not changing. You can imagine where people like us would stand now.

"It has become difficult to maintain the illusion of white supremacy in the face of prolonged unemployment," she said. Meals are also being arranged on credit. Relatives in the neighborhood were asked to sew clothes, but they were all in the same situation. 2 Who will sew clothes when the bread of time is gone? The month of Ramadan is also underway, and I wonder what will happen next. People like us already have a practical picture of what they will eat and what they will save, and the lockdown from above has added to the economic woes.

An important part of this big picture is the women who are forced to buy clothes online due to the closure of markets and malls. Tabassum, a resident of Gulshan-e-Iqbal in Karachi, is one such woman. When we asked him about the preparations for Eid, he said, "A decade of Ramadan has passed, but I still can't decide whether to order suits online or not because the tailor shops are closed." My tailor went to his hometown in Punjab at the very beginning of the lockdown and no tailor or tailor could be found. What is the use of online shopping if I can order clothes and keep them at home without sewing? However, nowadays the prices of clothes have come down by 50% and there is a great desire to buy clothes, but not only tailors, but what will I do with raw clothes?

Half the shutters of a shop are down
Asad, a young man who runs a tailor's shop in Nazimabad Chowrangi, said he was not opening the shop. "I was running this shop with two of my friends. There is cleanliness in hand, so customers were tied up and new ones came to see the work, but due to the closure of business in the lockdown, all our family members are also facing difficulties. I waited for 2 weeks but now 2 months have passed, the markets are not open and people are not shopping.

Assad added: "Our work was already going badly. Six months ago, our friends had closed their shop in Hyderi Market because they were not able to pay the rent and electricity bill on time. Now the shop was running here, so now this is the situation. My house is in Pali and we live in a rented house. I had to do something to fill my stomach. So now I have been working in a factory for the last 2 weeks.

"Are people sewing clothes?" Assad said to our question. "Some old customers contacted me on the phone but I didn't take clothes from them because the shop is closed and the house is not big enough to install a machine here." Work should be started. In such a case, if the cloth is damaged, listen to four more things
