Endless Pain that turns into ultimate reward hereafter

Defense Day is celebrated each year on 6^th September in the memory of the sacrifices rendered by the Pakistani Armed forces in 1965 war against India.

Defense Day is also a day to renew our pledge that we are a strong, proud nation, and that we would not be terrified by any foreign nation, no matter how strong it is. It embodies the fighting spirit, bravery and tactical acumen of the great nation of Pakistan. 

During 1965 war, were times when our ancestors hada wake up with the sounds of chaos and war and now are the times, our young generation wake up in peace and stability, this peace and stability is all a token from the martyrs who lost their lives saving ours.

Today is defense day, many of us will be busy in their offices, work tasks or celebrating with friends/families without realizing the pain, aching and discomfort for families of martyrs.

I am writing this article with a heavy heart after interviewing a Ghazi (Injured Soldier) from an intelligence agency whose car hit a landmine during operations in tribal areas at night time. He was badly injured with severe backbone injured which has taken him to bed from last one year. He has gone through several operations with some rods and screws to fix the injury. After inquiring more about the incident, he said, he was happy and contended by what happened as it is part of destiny. He felt pride that he has done something better and worthy for his country. It is easy to write and talk about the defense day and the military-related operations.  But, it is very difficult to go through the pain by getting critically injured in wars and coming back home all alone. Have we ever thought that being humans, we all have the same emotions and feelings? The ghazis also have heart and they also want friends and all the right to live normally.

The brave ghazi further told me that they are habitual of tough training and our tolerance level is far better than any average person. He said, pain is quite normal and he is not in the depressive mood.Still, pain is a pain, sometimes it is hard to tolerate it. When people around you are busy with other things and you need to spend the whole time onthe bed.  So, it is high time to pay tribute to these unknown soldiers of intelligence agencies with different names and different identities. They even don’t know when, where and how they get death or injury. Sometimes, they covered in flags, coffins and occasionally died in an unknown land where their bodies don’t claim by forces.Still, they are doing their duty silently just for the love of the country.

Most of the times, news of causalities for soldiers from intelligence agencies are hidden from the public. Let’s vow to ourselves, that this defense day, we will honor the sacrifices made by these unsung heroes whose slogan is,” if death strikes before I prove my blood, I swear I will kill death.

War of Weapons & Cyber Warfare, A message on Defence Day

We can't justify love for armed forces by paying homage to them on just single day, sacrifice they had given to our Homeland and nation may never be forgotten, in 1965 on the same day India launched it's military on Pakistan without any declaration or warning, and there we had proved ourself with our strength, power and dignity. Although it was militant action but whole nation of Pakistan was standing behind their armed forces to support them, now that time has been changed, new era had arisen, countries are using new war tactics, we are surrounded by neighbors like India those who like to attack us through any mean available to them. If we see ourselves, what we are doing for our nation and our Pakistan, we spend maximum hours at social media sites doing crazy stuff that has niether benefit for us at individual level not! at national level, we should remember that not only armed forces are obliged to protect Pakistan, we have some duties to full fill too, we should fight our wars through electronic media, fight through cyber wars, we should do something to create impact on world that we are proud nation, a nation with strength, a nation with dignity, a nation with intelligent youth. At least in this way we can contribute a minor drop in mighty ocean of our developing country, at least in this way we can proudly utter words to mother's and  families of Shaheeds and Ghazi's that we are not letting go sacrifices of their sons easily. May Pakistan Rise and shine.
Pakistan Zindabad 🇵🇰

The Dilemma of Gender Equality!

Men and women are two essential characters of human life. Creation of Adam was not considered complete until the emergence of Eve. Some school of thought believes that men and women have hierarchical positions as men being superior.Another school of thought believes that men and women are absolutely equal, but this equality is misinterpreted as sameness.

Men and women have equal rights; they are equal in many aspects but not same. The things men can do better but women can’t do in the same manner.Women are expert in some matters but men are unable to deal with them. Some stereotypes are being used to show gender attributes, differences,and the roles of individuals or groups. The commonest female stereotypical role that is prevalent is of homemaker. It is imperative for her to put her family’s welfare before her own.She is loving, compassionate, caring, nurturing, emotional and sympathetic. The men’s role, on the other hand, is to provide basic necessities of life to women. He is also to be assertive, competitive, independent, aggressive, courageous, rational, career-oriented and pragmatic.

The modern lifestyle has very much changed the family structure, instead of implementing the decisions of one person on other. Nowadays, families can be seen taking decisions respecting each other’s views, expressing opinions openly, critiquing and encouraging equally and yet being independent and responsible.

These things show that women are equal to men which are already mentioned in our religion.Itis also the need of the time but never be the same because sameness leads to many other things which are creating difficulty for many females.Somefemales don’t like such a life where they can’t get respect or they can be treated in some rude way. Because, if we talk about gendersameness that means while travelingonpublictransport,where there is no space to sit. Then men will not leave a seat for women as they both are same but equality says that men should leave their seat in the respect of women.

That's what we are doing, confusing equality with sameness and making lives more troublesome. It’s time to understand what we actually deserve, what we should be and what we are doing.

A humble request to all females; don’t devalue yourself, be aware of your rights but don’t confuse it with sameness.
The beauty of a female is when she stays one step behind her man because Allah makes him the provider and protector for her.

“She is!”

She is like the snow, fascinating enough to beautify her surrounding, charming enough to cause someone smile, cold enough to fall someone.

She is beautiful not because her face is burnt but because she has a pure heart. She is strong not because she was not scared but because she went on strongly, despite the fear.

She is feared not because she has no potential or abilities but because of lust barbarians. S

he is weak not because she did not do anything independently but because she is loyal.

She is dull and unfigured not because she did not know how to dress up but because her priority is her family.

She is unsocial not because she did not like to hang up and enjoy but because she gave time to her children.

She is polite not because she need male’s attention but because she did not unwrap the evil thoughts behind sweet words.

She is sensitive not because she is psycho but because she cares.

She is the charm not because the cycle of life will stop but because she is the colour of the picture of world.

She is the life not because she brings life but because she goes through the valley of death to bring a new life.

She is the power not because she become fire at times, enough to destroy everything in her way but because she can change the world.

She is perfect not because she is flawless but because she is balancing the life.

She is honourable not because she need respect but because she deserves respect!
