سفر نامہ: الوندی4 - قسط نمبر 1

قسط نمبر 1
کچھ دنوں سے جب بھی وٹس ایپ چلاتے تو ولید بھائی یا چھوٹُو میں سے کسی ایک کا الوندی کے لئے میسج آیا ہوتا. گھنٹوں تصویر کو دیکھ دیکھ کے آل اِز ویل کا ورد کرتے رہے. مگر اندرونِ دل ہولتا رہا کہ کب کلاسز شروع هوں، هم فیصل آباد آئیں اور ایک سال سے پازیٹو پاکستان کے ساتھ التوا میں پڑے رشتے کو اس ٹُور سے دوباره استوار کیا جائے. 
بھلا هو جامعه زرعیه کا که روانگی سے تین دن قبل کلاسز شروع کر دیں اور یوں آوارگی کی کچھ صورت نظر آئی.
روانگی سے 10 منٹ قبل کیمپس سے واپس آئے، بیگ سے رجسٹر نکالا، کوٹ اندر ٹھونسا اور بیلا کے ساتھ چھتری ٹیکتے هوئے براسته الطیبه آئس بار بس اسٹیشن پهنچے. تمام احباب سے ملاقات هوئی. کچھ نئے چهرے بھی دیکھنے کو ملے جن کا تفصیلی تعارف شهباز ارشاد نے گاڑی میں بٹھا کر الوهاب مائیک سے کروایا جو وضع قطع سے کسی عروسی لباس سے مشابه تھا. اس کی خاصیت یه تھی که اس پر خالص زرّی اور تِلّے کا کام کیا گیا تھا. بعد ازاں اِسی مائیک سے سب کا نام یاد کروانے کی رسم ادا کی گئی. جس کا فائده یه هوا که کسی کو اوئے کہہ کے بلانے کی بجائے اس کے نام سے پکارنے لگے. 
سفر میں یونهی بیٹھے بیٹھے احساس هوا که جی کچھ خراب سا هے. اچانک سر چکرانے لگا. دھڑکن تیز سے تیز تر هونے لگی. جب اچھی خاصی موت پڑنے لگی تو اچانک ڈوبتے هوئے دل نے صدا لگائی که ارے بھئی تم نے ابھی ٹریولنگ ٹو اسلام آباد کا سٹیٹس نهیں لگایا. جلدی سے سٹیٹس دیا تو کهیں جا کر طبیعت بحال هوئی اور هم کچھ سیدھے هو کر بیٹھے اور چیونگم چباتے هوئے اسلام آباد پهنچے. حفصه اور ثمینه نے پیارے پیارے بستروں کے ساتھ همارا استقبال کیا جن پر هم فوراً لم لیٹ هوگئے. مگر اس مدهوشی میں بھی فون چارجنگ پر لگانا نه بھولے. یه الگ بات هے که سوئچ کا بٹن دبانا یاد نه رها تھا.

Gender Identity


The world is predominantly a majority of men and women. But we often overlook the fact that some people, unassured from the social identity do exist in the middle of our lives.
Understanding gender is more important before talking about it. Gender identity not only refers to the sex a person is born with (i.e. male or female) but it actually means the perception an individual has about himself. Those individuals who do not find them among both, male and female gender often fall into the third category.  They may observe their behaviors under a different set of activities and evaluate their personalities.
It may occur at any age. There are some serious cases which need major understandings. Sometimes it happens that a person finds her/himself misfit with the gender they are born with. Their habits, behavior and body language do not support their biological sex. This forces them to adopt the entirely different way of presenting themselves to the society which may differ from their sex.  This unacceptance from their born in sex makes them to style, talk, dress and perform activities belonging to the sex they find comfort in.
We often make a mistake in understanding the concept and the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation.  Sexual orientation means “inherent or immutable enduring emotional romantic or sexual attraction to other people”. People who fall under this category are often known as lesbians or gays. But the Gender Identity is defined comprehensively by the Human Rights Campaign that “innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither – how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves.”
These people suffer greatly in understanding their position in the society. It is evaluated that mostly such kind of people fall a prey to the physical violence. This term is not only associated with women only, yet males are also made victims of it.
The people facing gender identity problems may find themselves fit to wear and live their life according to the sex they think they fall in but they feel reluctant of what the society will think about them, therefore they have to live according to the sex they are born with.
They might face psychological stress in doing so. The easiest example is that a female who is a victim of gender crises finds herself comfortable to dress, act and adopt the male habits, have to control her urge in order to save herself from being odd in the society. It is actually a zone of comfort someone wants finds them to be fit in.
Our wrong concepts have made our mindsets concrete which has created a major issue for the people who are a victim of gender identity. Being as humans and living in a modern era, we all must believe in giving space to everyone in the society.

Youth Derived Pakistan Movement


Youth is the most energetic and enthusiastic part of a society. These young, lively, active, dynamic and vigorous men and women have high ambition and are also blessed with the energy to fulfill their dreams. Almost all the great revolution of the world had the youth or students factor in common. The creation of Pakistan too had many contributors who played a vital role in the freedom movement but the role of students, unquestionably, had been remarkable throughout.
If we turn the pages of history, the freedom movement leads the list of renowned movements of the history, strengthen by youth, especially students. The freedom movement gained momentum after the joining of students and youth under the leadership of an ambitious man, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. Sir Syed Ahmed Khan took his students out from abyss of disintegration and rekindled the spirit of renaissance in them. Ali Garg Univeristy produced Intellectuals like Maulana Muhammad Ali, Maulana Shokat Ali, Hasrat Mohani, Syed Hussain, Rafi Ahmed Kidwal, Abdur Rab Nishtar, Molvi Abdul Haq and the freedom fighters including Zakir Hussain, Ayub  Khan and Nawabzada Liaqat Ali.
All these incredible young men did untiring efforts and proved their passion and patriotism which ultimately led them to their destination called Pakistan. Youth especially students actively participated in the movements mention ed below, and made the m successful as well.

  • The Martyrs Movement created by Syed Ah med Shaheed and Syed Ismail Shaheed. Youth from all over the subcontinent supported this movement and it ended in 1857, war of independence.
  • The Khilafat Movement which arise in 1919 and won a huge support of students.
  • All India Muslim Student Federation was created in 1937 and Muhammad Noman was the first secretary of this movement. Muhammad Noman formulated teams of Muslim students in almost every college and university and prepared the m to be active enough to fulfill the demand s put on them.
  • He had very close interaction with Muhammad Ali Jinnah and the Quaid used to visit him during every visit. This is an example of the acknowledgement of importance of students in view of Quaid-e-Azam. He always prioritized youth specially the students, as he considered them to be the future leaders of Pakistan. 
  • Pakistan Movement under the leadership of Muslim League was not supported by the masses until it got the support of All India Muslim Student s Federation, after the election n of 1935-36.
After two years of joining hands with the student’s federation, Pakistan resolution was presented and the young played a great role in the elections of 1945-46. Students volunteered from all over the sun continent and their passion was worth seeing when they escorted the protests and addresses by Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah without being afraid of losing their lives.
The students conveyed message of the need of a separate homeland through their powerful teachings and writings. Keeping in view, the services and role of youth in the form of students, Quaid-E-Azam said:
Reemember that you have to take the reins of what is being done today, in your hands tomorrow. Have you therefore trained yourself and equipped yourself enough to shoulder the responsibilities that will fall on you? If not, go ahead today. This is the proper time and I wish you every success.
Today, Pakistan’s 62% population comprises of youth, and it’s the youth who can fulfill the dream of our forefathers and write the fate of Pakistan. At the end, I want you to focus upon Quiad’s words in which he said:
My young friends I look forward to you as the real makers of misled. Do not be exploited and do not be misled. Create amongst yourself, unity and solidarity. Set an example of what youth can do. Your occupation should be in fairness to yourself, to your parents and to your state.

کھردرے الفاظ

کافروں سے قرض لینا حلال ، انکے دیے ہوئے پیسے سے ملکی مُعشیت استحکام کرنا حلال، انکی تہزیب، انکے فیشن، انکے ایجاد کردہ کھانے کھانا سب حلال ہے پر اسی کافر سے مشورہ لینا حرام ہو گیا۔
بیشک قادیانی نا منظور ہے پر ہم نا منظوری چوائیس پر کیسے کرنے لگ گئے۔ نا منظور کرنا ہے تو خالص ہو کر نامنظور کرنا ہے۔ بائیکاٹ کرنا ہے تو پھر ہر چیز سے کرنا ہے! 
سب محب وطن امریکہ مردہ آباد کہتے ہیں اور انہی لوگوں کے بچے امریکن ڈگریز لے کر پاکستان میں آتے ہیں اور اسی ڈگری کا رعب جماتے ہیں۔
ہم لوگ کس قسم کی زندگی جی رہے ہیں، کیسے پاکستانی ہیں، کس سے ڈر رہے ہیں، کس کو امپریس کرنا چاہتے ہیں،اور کیا پیغام دیکر جا رہے ہیں۔ انڈیا سب سے بڑا دشمن بھی ہے اور کترینہ کیف سے محبت بھی اتنی ہی شدت پر ہے۔
امریکہ مردہ آباد بھی ہے پر پڑھائی کا معیار امریکن چاہیے، کیسی نفرت کر رہے ہیں ہم۔ ہمیں لوگوں سے نفرت ہے یا خود سے۔
14 اگست کے موقع پر امریکہ میں جشن آزادی کے جلوس نکلے ہوئے نظر آئے اور کچھ لوگوں نے اسے بہت سراہا اور کہا ایسی آزادی ہونی چاہئیے۔
پر میں یہاں پر ایک سوال پوچھنا چاہتا ہوں کیا ہم عیسائی برادری کو بھی ایک ایسا جلوس نکالنے کی اجازت دیں گے۔
کیا ہم امریکن شہریوں کو انکا دن بھی اس ملک میں منانے کی اجازت دیں گے۔ وہاں ہم خود غرض کیسے ہو سکتے ہیں، وہاں ہماری سوچ کی آزادی کہاں گئی۔
اصل میں ہم صرف جسم سے آزاد ہیں اور ذہن سے ابھی بھی قید ہیں۔ اور ہم نے خود کو خودہی قید رکھا ہوا ہے۔ ہم خود کی ذات کے قیدی ہیں۔ انسان قید نہ ہونا چاہے تو وہ سلاخوں کے پیچھے رہ کر بھی قید نہیں رہ سکتا۔
کوئی ہمارے دین کو نقصان نہیں پہنچا سکتا جب تک کہ ہم اپنے دین پر قائم ہیں۔ بالکل اسی طرح جیسے کوئی ہمارے عقیدے کو نقصان نہیں پہنچا سکتا۔ عقیدہ ہمارے دل کی جاگیر ہے کسی امیر کے گھر کا قالین نہیں۔
کوئی ہمارے دل میں گھس کر ہمارے عقیدے کو چرا نہیں سکتا۔ اس ملک کو جتنا نقصان پہنچنا تھا وہ اس ملک میں موجود مذہب کے ٹھیکیدار پہنچا چکے ہیں۔ ہماری ذات کو نقصان پہنچانے والے صرف ہم خود ہیں اگر ہم خود کے کنٹرول میں ہوں تو کوئی ہمیں اپنے کنٹرول میں نہیں کر سکتا۔
وہ ذات کہ جسکی وجہ سے یہ کائنات تخلیق کی گئی اور پھر اسی کے سبب ہم سب وجود میں لائے گئے وہ ہیں ہمارے محمد صلی اللہ علیہ و سلم بڑی شان والے۔ انکی زندگی کا ہر پہلو ہمارے لئے ہزاروں راز رکھتا ہے۔
کیا انہوں نے کافروں کے ساتھ شرط نہیں رکھی تھی کہ اگر تم میں سے ہر ایک دس مسلمان بچوں کو پڑھنا لکھنا سکھائے گا تو وہ آزاد ہے۔
کیا وہ ان کافروں سے صفائی کا کام نہیں لے سکتے کیا وہ ان سے کھیتی باڑی کا کام نہیں لا سکتے تھے.. سب لے سکتے تھے پر انہوں نے ان سے ایک عظیم کام کروانا چاہا یعنی علم سکھانا، سبق پڑھانا۔ ہمیں کیا لگتا ہے کہ انہوں نے یہ کام کیوں کیا؟ 
تا کہ اگر کل کو ہمیں کسی کافر سے مدد لینی پڑ جائے تو ہمیں شرمانا نہیں ہے اور اس میں کوئی عُذر نہیں ہے۔
اب ہمیں یہ سمجھنا ہے کہ کیا ہم اتنے عقلمند ہیں کہ انکی بات کو رد کردیں اور اپنی عقل کو ترجیح دیں؟
سن لو ، جان لو  اور سمجھ لو کوئی تب تک علم نہیں پا سکتا جب تک وہ نہ چاہے، کوئی چاہ بھی نہیں سکتا اگر اسکی چاہ نہ ہو تو تم اور میں کیا ہیں یار۔ صرف پانی کے بلبلے سے زیادہ کچھ بھی نہیں۔
اور ہم میں سے ہر ایک دین کا ٹھیکیدار بنا ہوا ہے اور سمجھتا ہے دین صرف اسی کی وجہ سے بچ سکتا ہے۔ جو خود کو ایک چھینک آنے سےبھی نہیں بچا سکتا وہ دین کو بچانے چلا ہے۔
فرض کر لیجئے ہم ایک سفر پر ہیں اور اس دوران گاڑی خراب ہو جاتی ہے اور جو شخص ٹھیک کرنے کے لئے آیا  ہے وہ ذات کا قادیانی ہے تو  ہم کیا کریں گے؟ آگے چلئے اب ایک حادثہ ہو چکا ہے اور علاج کرنے والا ڈاکٹر بھی قادیانی ہے۔ آگے چلئے اب جس جگہ پر قیام پذیر ہیں وہاں پر کھانا بنانے والا شخص قادیانی ہوتو ہم ان تمام صورتوں میں کیا کریں گے... 
ذرا سوچئے!! 
ہم اگر مسلمان کے گھر میں پیدا ہوئے ہیں تو اس میں ہمارا کوئی کمال نہیں ہے وہ کمال الللہ تعالی کا ہے۔ ہم بھی قادیانی ہی ہوتے اگر قادیانی کے گھر میں پیدا ہوئے ہوتے۔ ہم بھی عیسائی ہوتے اگر عیسائی گھر میں پیدا ہوئے ہوتے۔
مذہب انسان کو جدا نہیں کرتا ہے جو چیز ہمیں جدا کرنے والی ہے وہ سوچ ہے۔ جیسے کہ مولانا رومی فرماتے ہیں ''اصل حقیقت تو تیری سوچ ہے باقی تو سب ہڈیاں اور گوشت ہے'' 
اگر ہمیں خود کو جدا کرنا ہے تو ہمیں اچھی سوچ کا مظاہرہ کرنا ہوگا ۔اور وہی سوچ ہمیں ایک اچھا مسلمان بنائے گی؛  ایک آزاد خیال مسلمان ، ایک ایسا مسلمان جو غیر ممالک میں فخر سے اپنا مذہب بتا سکے گا۔
پر انسان کو نہ جانے کس بات پر غرور ہے جو اسے سکون ہی نہیں لینے دیتا۔  ہمیں نفرت کرنے کا حق کس نے دیا ہے۔ ہم چاہتے ہیں کہ ہمیں غیر ملک میں آزادی ،عزت و احترام ملے پر ہم اپنے ملک میں کسی کو وہ چیز دینے کے لئے تیار نہیں ہیں.. 
ہم اپنے ملک میں عیسائی برادری کو اپنے تہواروں میں شامل نہیں کرتے ان سے کچھ لیکر کھانا پسند نہیں کرتے ۔ مجھے بڑے افسوس سے کہنا پڑتا ہے کے غیر ممالک میں مسلمانوں کیساتھ بھی کچھ ایسا ہی سلوک ہوتا ہے۔ کیا ہم نہیں چاہتےکہ ہمیں ہر جگہ پر عزت ملے اگر ہاں تو ہمیں دوسروں کو بھی عزت دینی پڑے گی۔
ہم چاہتے ہیں کہ کوئی ہمیں محبت کرے پر ہم بدلے میں محبت دینے کو تیار نہیں ہو۔ یہ کیسا انصاف ہے جو ہم اپنی مرضی کا چاہتے ہیں۔ جس عزت کی امید ہم کسی غیر سے رکھتے ہیں اتنی ہی عزت ہمیں اسی غیر کو بھی دینی ہو گی۔
پاکستان ایک ایسا ملک ہونا چاہیے جہاں شیر اور بکری ایک گھاٹ پر اکھٹے پانی  پیتے ہوں ۔ میری شیر اور بکری سے مراد طاقت ور اور کمزور ہیں۔
دوسروں کا خیال اس امید سے رکھیے کہ ہمارا مالک ہمارا اور بھی خیال رکھے گا، دوسروں کو خوشی اس نیت سے دیجیے کہ اس سے ہمیں خوشی ملے گی۔اس پاکستان کو ہم نے ایک ہنستا و مسکراتا ہوا پاکستان بنانا ہے۔
ہم سب کا پاکستان سلام پاکستان۔

سید تفسیر عباس رضوی

All is humor that ends in humor

Let's consider there's some sort of teacher taking an intermediate mathematics class. Now, something strange about that lady is the fact that she has a brand-new hot red coloured nail polish in her bag and she is constantly planning to complete her class within half an hour so that she could enjoy the rest of the hour polishing her beautiful nails. As she knows that she would not be free at home in order to perform that important and compulsory task.

Taking her plan into consideration, she takes a fairly long sum and asks the students to solve that within 10 minutes. After asking that, she doesn't forget to have a clear look at the confused faces of her students. A charming smile covers the cleverness of her face as the situation of the classroom seems to be in her favour. She doesn't want to waste any more time one so she stands up comes to the dice and says politely to the future of her country “Don't be confused like that my children, open that key book that I suggested to all of you last week and start solving the sum.”
Students now seem to have been fully satisfied by this precious sentence and this awesome suggestion of their kind teacher who would surely not try to tease them by her boring and tiresome lecture. This teacher also becomes happier than before; as now she would surely enjoy the last 30 minutes of her lecture.
The bewitching fact being hidden in that little story is actually covered by some sort of humour. That humour which our corrupt nation builders are applying to the innocent young souls of our country, for that teacher the worth of an intermediate level mathematics book is quite lesser than her newly bought nail polish.
But we can't say that our people have a small amount of wisdom and intellect. All that perfect arrangement of the teacher was the clear symbol that we are all highly intelligent. But the thing is that we are using intelligence for satisfying the thirst of our greediness. That greediness which lies in our unfair actions for making merry among ourselves. That greediness that lies in our everyday corruption, no matter whether the life of that corruption is 30 minutes or one complete hour.
Now we must try to have a look at the 8 hours corruption that is being done by an ordinary citizen, sitting in any office. He comes to office at 9:00 am but owing to the satisfaction of his beloved heart, he opens his laptop at sharp 11:00 am, after seeing his boss entering the office.
To conclude I must add that we are all doing corruption in many ways. That perfectly symbolizes that we are intelligent enough to solve a Rubik cube in just 4.11 seconds breaking all the previous world records.
That's true in any way.

محسن نقوی کے الفاظ میں...
سرحدِ ارضِ وطن تیری حفاظت کے لیے...
کتنے خورشید تیری خاک کے کام آئے ہیں
آئیں..تجدیدِ وفا کریں....کہ دفاع کی ضرورت کہیں بھی کبھی بھی پڑی تو ہم نظر چرا کر نہیں گزریں گے....یہی پیغام ہے یومِ دفاع کا....

Endless Pain that turns into ultimate reward hereafter

                                                        Contributed by: Sadia Khalid

Defense Day is celebrated each year on 6th 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.

Reigniting the Spirit of 1965;The Defence Day



The Defence day is a paragon which enlightens the prodigious sacrifices of Pakistan Army. We can call it the dawn of new pinnacles. We can also analyze it as harbinger towards the cynosure.

 The curators of my country have sacred the name of Pakistan upon their valuable lives. They fought chivalrously against the opposite side. Although, they were limited in number, had limited resources but their commitment & passion were the factors that consolidate the well-being of this nation in a pragmatic manner. Kim Jong depicts the value of defense in such words   "National defense is the sacred duty of the young and all other people".

 ISPO Facto, Allah Almighty has bestowed Pakistan with boons & blessings. Indeed, the blessings of God pours down like a shower upon this country. Today, Pakistan has its own reorganization in the field of Defence & relations. From the floor of the Assembly to the Defence lines, Pakistanis are dominating their due role in almost every field of life. The claret of martyrs has made this country bloom. Our soldiers had snatched the victory from the mouth of wolfish and tyranny, in the war of 1965.

 The Defence day evokes us by the unfading & the indestructible innings played by our soldiers of 1965 war. Their commitment, passion, zeal, courage & faith was itself an example even for the opposite side. For the Defence & prosperity of the nation, they immolated their valuable lives for the well-being of Pakistani Flag. On this day,the whole nation pays tribute to the martyrs of the 1965 War and pledge to consolidate the Defence of this country.
     
 This day is a lesson for the whole nation to utilize energies & goodwill for the Defence of the country because we have to abloom this country by the art of our commitments & expertise.

Alwandi Leadership Encampment - 3

There was a time when we use to listened bed time stories from our grandparents. Their sweet voice and elegant expression, swish and flick and here we go. Our amateur minds, mesmerized by fairytales, open up a gateway, into the wonderland. Although we have grown up, but still life is full of adventures. Thus on 29 April 2016, students from all over Pakistan gathered under the supervision of Abid Iqbal (President Positive Pakistan) at Islamabad.
Valor, passion, courage and dazzling curiosity on their faces clearly depicts that they are ready, to set out on an adventure to discover a wonderland that reside in highland of Nathiagali in District Abbottabad.
First of all there was an introductory session, moving on words of wisdom were shared: "Hold fast, all of you together, to the rope of Allah (i.e. this Qur'an), and be not divided among yourselves" Al Quran, Chapter: 3, Verse: 103.
Point to ponder: Positive Pakistan is educating young blood in the era of deception. In today’s world, division is being created on the ground of sect and region, with the help of media, 4th generation warfare is enforced on us. Every breath one take is in a battleground and every step one take is in a warzone. Therefore, Positive Pakistan has decided to hold an encampment i.e. nourished with philosophy of Iqbal and enriched with principles of Quaid.
On the dawn of 30 April 2016 we set out for camp site i.e. Mushkpuri from Islamabad via Dunga Gali. It is approximately 2,800 meters above sea level. Finally after reaching, we started tracking, because the real triumph lay at hill top. It was a perilous task, the track was 4Km long. But as it is said: Adventure is not outside man: it’s within. Hence we challenged ourselves at every single step.
As we moved forward on trek, we can clearly see sky-punching mountains soar up in the background. The sky above was a feast for the eyes. It stretched as far as the eye could see in a dome of cocktail-blue, punched with fluffy clouds. It wasn’t just the sights that pleased the senses. The whole experience of trekking was heart thumping.
The journey was exhausting and 3 hours long, thus some among us collapsed into their tents. The mat seems so soothing that everyone drifted into a deep sleep. When they woke up, everyone was called in at learning area. At first introductory session was held, moving on rules and regulations of encampment were explained.
Furthermore Usman Raza (Vice President Positive Pakistan) introduces Positive Pakistan to all participants. Afterwards Abid Iqbal torched passion among young blood in a rhetorical manner. His words serve as energy boosters and every individual transformed into eager beaver. Thereafter he stressed upon message of Iqbal and asked participants to adopt inquisitive thinking as it is need of hour.
Moving on as the day passed various physical activities were performed, all of them has some intrinsic meaning attached to them. Moreover we also offered prayer in congregation. At night under the glittering sky a camp fire was lit. If one had stayed there at night, he would have experienced the cold bite of the wind, freezing whiskey noses and apple-frosted cheeks. Thereafter we had luscious BBQ and a heated debate.
At dawn the dewy air served mint-fresh to the lungs. We offered prayer in congregation, followed by Tilawat e Quran & Naat e Rasool e Maqbool.
