‘Khuda wanda teray saadha louh bandhay kahan jaaiyain; Yehan derveshi bhi ayaari ki sultani bhi ayaari.’... asking for impossible
I do not know how many of us have heard of TAS. The first time I came to know about it was during 1980s when I was the student at an Indian premier business school. For a fortnight or so the school campus had been bustling with the life; companies of the repute came rushing... narcotic stupor
On an icy Chilla Kalan evening, the freezing cold congeals drains ditches, cesspools and even the famous Dal Lake. ‘Kot koush’ freezes the successive drops trickling from the point of attachment into the glassy icicles of tapering formation. The vast expanses of the white... on to celeberate id
As the faithful finish with the shab-e-qadr (equivalent to 1000 nights as per Quran) the zealotry of the faithful for Ramzan is suddenly on wane……it even takes a 180 degree turn. For here after, it is only the id preparations that the people will be busy with. The mad... ramadan nimazees
As the faithful glue themselves to the PTV/ARY on the last (29th) evening of Sha’aban, the 8th month of the Islamic calendar, the Ramzan nimazee is all ears to get to know about the sighting of the new crescent of Ramzan by the Rouiat-e-hilal committee of Pakistan. It is... ramadan freaks
Ramadan, what we normally call Ramzan, is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar based on the cycles of the moon phases. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, the globally accepted calendar, 354 days’ Islamic year means that the Ramzan would occur about 10-11 days earlier each... deceptive appearances
The heights by great men reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight. But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night....

queue laws
There are two psychological things that upset people most when waiting in queues. One is any impression of unfairness in the arrangements. The other is the feeling of wasting time. Queuing experts combine mathematics with psychology to focus on these two aspects. Perhaps this... Respect but not practice
The modernization of the society would involve social and intellectual change. The watchword is efficiency, which means on one hand, to avert religious and spiritual ideals and on the other hand, to embrace the beautiful ideals of democracy, pluralism, secularism, capitalism... Inhaling Impure Air
People that pass much time in the open air and particularly in pure air are said to have the most brilliant complexions and are among the healthiest of people. Hence fresh pure air is the best cosmetic. The high flying birds and birds that pass their time in pure atmosphere... 95 views | 0 recommendations | 1 comment
Doggish Kind
The quadruped canine, be it the street dog or any fancy dog, hangs around and responds to your affectionate call when you throw a piece of bread or bone towards it. With the instinct not to be distrustful, it licks your shoes with all the love, affection and indebtedness.... THE CULDESAC OF COMMITTEES.
THE CULDESAC OF COMMITTEES. Some people are perpetually in the meetings. When you try to get hold of them, the gloom laden words receive you. ‘He is in the meeting. I can not disturb him’. Or the pompous ‘he is in the conference’. This can mean almost anything.... trading on the religiosity
Righteousness and deep devotion to religion carry an astounding strong appeal. Who would not like to be rightly guided? Religious bigotry is one of my pet aversions, nonetheless. Think of a religionist who gets to a feeling like being in higher feather. He puffs up with pride... 53 views | 2 recommendations | 0 comments
Hajj: The High Maintenance Journey
I make no bones to admit that years after performing the Hajj pilgrimage my bubbling enthusiasm and attendant excitement have since run out of steam. I do say Salah (nimaz) five times. In fact, I recite Koran in the mornings, and perform several other ‘Haqooq-ullah’... 130 views | 2 recommendations | 1 comment
Mommy is back
When he was a neo natal, still in swaddling clothes, his young upwardly mobile mommy would always be under the gun. Either partner of the career couple would stay back and swap the rule of baby sitters. Tinkies, with two incomes, nanny and kids would leave him with the nanny...
