“Neglected children”

A green eyed cute six year old boy in a muddy blue shirt and black pants said “Baji theli le lu sirf 15 luppe ka hai”. I was very shocked when I saw this little boy.

Jumma bazar, sadar or tariq road would not be the same without the little vendors, with their trays of wares slung from their necks, some children sell shopping bags. They are as much a part of Karachi as its land marks.

These hawkers are usually from the age of six to fourteen the age when boys can still be called “sweet”, (how they hate that word), when you like to talk to them and buy from them just so that you can listen to an often repeated tale. They all tell you they are studying and work to pay their school fees.

A boy name Ahmed said “Iam studying in class III and I could pay my school fees by myself, my father does not go to work and live at home all

"The hard time stories of starving self and a starving family, the boy vendors leave to the despised beggar boys to tell, they never associate with them."

the time, I have 3 brothers and 4 sisters, my all brothers sell different things on every Friday”.

Sami khan an 8 years old boy said, I’m not in school “Mujhey pharney likhney ka bauhat shauq hai, Aur agar mein school gaya roti kahan se aai gi.

One says, “Oh yes”, I passed, I came second” in my class.

These children certainly look bright and if they are not in school, they should be, it is our society’s fault that they are where they are.

You prefer to hear their tales over the wails and cries of elder aged and healthy baggers.

The hard time stories of starving self and a starving family, the boy vendors leave to the despised beggar boys to tell, they never associate with them or to their older, less wise vendors. Their story is more plausible and a hopeful sign of the times.

Yeh, band le lein Baji, bauhat sasti hain yeh. It’s wonderful the way the size you up.

They will start with, bands, earrings and hairpins‘! If you have long hair they had up a card of long pins”.

Then of course they display elastics, bands, buttons, Ribbons, combs-un-breakable one and may be a keychain the child has long been wanting because his friend has just such a one, probably the friend’s mother was inveigled into a similar bargain. When you say you really want nothing, but don’t sound grumpy or crotchety, they take one more chance prices are brought down still unmoved! Well, what do you say to make an offer??

Wide, questioning eyes look at you. What you can do but make one and you are almost as good as caught. Somehow from somewhere, one or two of his have appeared.

They look on with interest and are glad for their friend when bargain is stuck; there is an intimacy among them which is heartwarming. You have no change----

 Your vendor hasn’t any change! As you do not have anytime either, and any way you never really wanted those clothe pins, you say “sorry next time may be!”

Hey you? Have some pins. “Hook? Clips? Button? Earring? Very cheap: best quality” He has already spotted another customer and is off. 

Sometime a group of three or four rest for two or three minutes between tramps up and down the lanes of bazaar. They laugh and joke; you hear a whistle or a snatch of a film song, you wonder.

Is it the school fees you’ve helped him to pay for a cinema ticket? Whatever it is, he has “earned” it.

Remedial measure should be taken by the government and the local authority. UNICEF is helping in the behalf but the local authority and the concerned department are not coordinating with the UNICEF.

In the end I want to say that we should not regret or make fun of such children because they have some responsibilities they work hard to earn money to educate and give a peaceful life to their family. So we have to encourage and support all these children because they are waiting for our help…...

Womens life

              “Life of Women”

             “Well-behaved women seldom make history.”
                                                       Laurel Thatcher Ulrich,

Allah has created many things, many lives in this world, but the beautiful and the most important creature is a “Women”.

·        She is a mother ->  give birth to young ones.

·        She is a sister ->  take care of her brother

·        She is a daughter -> Obey her father

·        She is a grandmother ->  love her grandchildren

·        She is a wife -> surrounds a man’s life

A woman attributes many responsibilities in this world. The most challenging responsibilities belongs to her that is she has to brought up her children she has to take care of her children she has to take care of her husband. She beautifully converts a house into home by facing lots of difficulties.

Previous day it was a perception that a women is always depend on a man in a form of a father or husband or a brother, but nowadays this is completely changed. A woman is as man nowadays. She runs her family just like a man.

There are many troubles which come along her way but bravely she faces all those troubles and problems. Allah has kept a power only in women and that power is of patient & tolerance.  Only a woman in this world can bear difficulties and pain with patience.

Today women a working person she just not earn but beside that she also take care of her children, and manages her whole family with great effort. Negligence and ignorance is out of her dictionary. Hence a life woman is very difficult. 

         “You educate a man;

           You educate a man.

           You educate a woman;

           You educate a generation.”
                                                  Brigham Young

FLEX TIME JOB IS BETTER THAN 9 TO 5 JOB

The person who wakes up early in the morning, his fortune also wakes up and the GOD also like this deed, as it is said that "God sends His blessing at those who wakes up early in the morning, He has appointed thousands of angels to shower His blessings on them".

It sounds fictitious that how the unseen blessings can be showered by unseen angels but as true believers of God we believe that the person who gets up early always lives a healthy and a better life but now we are in a modern world where people likes getting awake in the afternoon, take their breakfast and lunch at the same time and call it their BRUNCH, and then head towards their work. They come late at night, thus their daily schedule is totally messed up and they cannot go anywhere else.

On the contrast, if we put a light at the old age when the electricity was not introduced, people used to get up early in the morning for their work after reciting their prayers usually that kept them active and connected to religion as well.

I completely disagree that Flex Time Job is better than 9 to 5 job since there is no fixed time to get back home and a person cannot give his family a quality time that they require, as a result of this negligence from the head member many families suffer. In addition to this you have to deliver your services late at night too which make you sacrifice your sleep and makes u sleepy and lazy. Moreover, health is affected and the social life of a person is totally messed up.              

  On the other hand, in 9 to 5 job, you get-up early in the morning, take a healthy break-fast and go to your work with a fresh mind and give your best to your work and also a proper schedule is built up. The people also prefer 9 to 5 job, because after 05.00 they are totally free to give their proper time to their families, to have a proper and sound sleep and to go anywhere they like. You have enough time to give your family and friends. They are free from the tension of attending duty in shifts at night. 9 to 5 jobs are mostly white collar jobs.

At the end of this I would like to conclude that a 9 to 5 job is far better and I would support the 9 to 5 job against the flex time job since it gives more time to the person for themselves.
