Sharpasand

 Someone asked to see a Pakistani TV drama: Sharpasand as I love Nauman Ejaz. What a spontaneous actor he is.

Due to my work's heavy schedule, I was able to see only the initial 3/4 episodes - but I realized:

"Hum sab ke andar aik farasat ali khan rehta hai'

Aesthetic

 

Mirror

 Mirrors can be very deceiving. The following picture is interesting as it can be described in both a positive and a negative way.

• Positive; No matter what you are, see yourself as an emperor of your life
• Negative; The Devil can't see his own narcissism 

Respect

 

Elites, Poor and sharing

(Shared by a professor of pharmacology in one of the Grand Rounds)

"One life lesson I learned from the pharma industry is that the proportion of price drop is independently associated with anything's use in life among the elite and poor.  Elites try to control things but fear sharing, and keep things at a high value so low-income people can't reach them. They are even afraid of sharing things among themselves. As soon as anything in life, like a drug, becomes generic, its price drops quickly. I found that people experiencing poverty are more intent to share and crave less material things. It's the most bizarre paradox of life. I don't mean that a person should stay poor, but there is a line where the human mind loses its tendency to connect with other humans and seek the welfare of other humans - and that's the biggest curve ball of life."

Never stop dreaming

 

Mazboot aasaab

 Kehte hain:

"Agar aap restaurant main jaa ker akele khana kha sakte hain, ya cinema main jaa ker akele film dekh sakte hain to aap bohat masboot aasaab ke maalik hain - aur zindagi main bohat kuch akele ker sakte hain"

Agree?

Makafate amal

Kiya hamari zindagi main hone wale bohut se (budnaseeb) waqiaat kisi ke dil se nikli bud-duaoN ka mazhar hote haiN ya qudrat ka apna makafate amal ka silsilsla hai (kubhi foran aur kubhi der se magar burwaqt). - kiya kuch der ke liye hum aksar andhe, behre, gunge aur hamara dimag maauf 'ker diya' jaata hai. Hum 'robot' bana diye jaate haiN.

Kiya kahin koi notebook hai jis main sub kuch save ho jaata hai. 
Kiya insaan kabhi apni notebook dekh paaye ga?

Ye Naqs kis ki shokhiye tehreer ke faryadi haiN. 
Hamari zindagi ke waaqiaat ke in kaagzi perahan ki pekare tasveer kahan hai?

Ya hum log ye sub sochte huwe bus sirf aik "rationalization" kerte haiN?

(Kiya yahi woh sawalat nahi haiN, jo sadioN se insaan ke sare falsafe, dar, umeed, mazahib, samaaj, jang, rivayat aur har tarah ki zehni kawishoN ka mehwar rahe haiN).

Why Men Marries

 Received this as a forward: I agree partially but a strong argument

""Men attend to Women for two reasons, SEX, and LOVE, but in most cases, men do not Marry for Sex or for Love; they marry for STABILITY.

A man can Love you and not Marry you.

A man can have sex with you for years without marrying you. But immediately, he finds someone who brings stability to his life and marries her.

Men are visionaries when they think about marriage; they do not think about wedding dresses, bridesmaids, or anything the woman thinks is fanciful. They think that this woman can build me a home.

Women are tender; they have the capacity to receive and reproduce. You give her groceries, she prepares a meal, you give her money, she gives you peace, you give her sperm, and she gives you children.

You give it discomfort, it becomes your worst nightmare, and most men know it. This is why a man can stay with a woman for years, meet another in a month, and then get married.

It's the stability they want. Sex is a pleasure, love is an affection - stability is respect."

A good guy & a nice guy

 

A mistake of all generations

 Every generation has made the same mistake. They try to see their forefathers' lives with present-day values. It's all contemporary.

The best line!

I was advised years ago - and it helped me always. 

If someone is going through any kind of grief, the best thing to say: "I am not sure if I can share your grief as my words may not heal everything, but I AM HERE for anything you need".

Is say ziyada dilasa aur kuch bhi nahi  - ke kisi ko ye yaqeen ho ke - aap waqt pe mojoud the 

- werna aik insaan to dusre insaan ke liye patta bhi nahi hila sakta

on Facebook and old friends

 On Facebook, we connect to many friends and acquaintances from our long long gone past years of child and younghood. In many cases, we feel it would have been better we would not have bump again - as people grow on different axes over decades.

Practical and non-miraculous aspect of Muhammad's life

 Following is the write-up from a Pakistani physician Dr. Rao Kamran Ali. It created some waves on Facebook and lot of flakes were send his way. I am not trying to take a side but I do think his thoughts make sense. Read and make your own judgement.

عمل اور عشق

رسول کریم صل الله عليه وسلم نے چالیس سال کی عمر میں اسلام کی تبلیغ شروع کی اور تریسٹھ سال کی عمر میں مکمل فرما دیا۔ یہ تیئس سال کا عرصہ ہے جس میں کوئی معجزہ نہیں، کوئی عقل سے بالاتر کام نہیں (معراج کے واقعہ کے حوالے سے میں غامدی صاحب کی رائے سے متفق ہوں) کوئی لمحہ عشق کے نام پر ضائع نہیں۔عمل ہے، محنت ہے، مشقت ہے، جنگیں ہیں، بھوک پیاس ہے، چوٹیں ہیں تکلیفیں ہیں۔جدائیاں ہیں۔

ایک بچہ جو نبی کریم کی سنت کی مطابق لوگوں کے درد دور کرنا چاہتا ہے، مدد کرنا چاہتا ہے، شفا دینا چاہتا ہے؛ بارہ سال مسلسل محنت کرکے اسکول اور کالج میں بہترین کارکردگی دکھا کر پانچ سال میں ایم بی بی ایس اور چھ سال میں اسپیشلائزیشن مثلاً کارڈیالوجسٹ یا سرجن بنتا ہے۔ اس راستے میں بہت سے مسائل آتے ہیں، فیس کی کمی ہے، تکلیفیں ہیں، نروس بریک ڈاؤن ہے، مقصد کے حصول کے لئے چھوڑی گئیں ادھوری محبتیں ہیں; لیکن تیئس سال میں بننے والا شاہکار عملیت کی سنت کی راہ پر چلتا اپنی زندگی میں ہزاروں جانیں بچاتا ہے۔

دوسری جانب، عمل کی مشکل سنت سے بے پرواہ ؛ خود ساختہ عشق کے نام پر داڑھی بڑھا کر، شلوار ٹخنوں سے اونچی کرکے کوئی کلونجی کی بوری لیکر بیٹھ جاتا ہے اور دوکان کے اوپر (ضعیف ) حدیث لکھ دیتا ہے، “کلونجی میں موت کے سوا ہر مرض کا علاج ہے”!!!!

Zindagi ki aik kask

 Ye aik ajeeb si baat hai

Qudrat har insaan ke dil main  - zindagi ki rah main - aik kaash - aik kask - choR jaati hai

Kaash main aesa ker leta/leti

Kaash main wesa ker leta/leti

Kisi ko muhabbat ke raaste main galat faisle ki kask, kisi ko shadi ke muamle main kask

kisi ko 'career' main koi 'opportunity' choR dene ki kasak

Yahi kasak saari zindagi insaan ki kick bani rehi hai - jis ke saahare woh aage baRhta rehta hai - I guess a form of psychological compensation.
