Appeal for cleanliness on Eid days
Wednesday, 17 Nov, 2010
I WOULD like to draw the attention of the government towards the issue of pollution during Eid-ul-Azha when the blood of sacrificial animals flows from houses, flats, etc., due to their being slaughtered right next to roads.
The offal and other waste of animals remain on the roads which spread an obnoxious smell all over the area. Besides, it also attracts flies, which later sit on food. Consuming this food spreads diseases like cholera, dysentary, etc. To avoid the spread of diseases, we should keep our environment clean.
I request the people not to throw the waste of animals on roads and streets and clean all blood from outside their houses and flats.
We should follow the Hadith of Prophet Muhmmed (peace be upon him): “Cleanliness is half of faith”.
The government should also take immediate measures regarding it.

Caring for minorities
Tuesday, 28 Sep, 2010
THIS is in apropos of the article ‘The whackos in our midst’ (Sept 23) by Zubeida Mustafa. Minorities are part and backbone of every nation. In Pakistan their existence has been engraved on our flag since 1947.
The white portion on the flag represents minorities which means that they have an equal right to live in Pakistan and enjoy all the facilities that a common Pakistani citizen is enjoying.
Although a natural calamity has hit us, we still remain entangled in irrelevant discussions as to who is Muslim and who is not. Both Muslim and non-Muslim citizens of the country have equally suffered from the flood.
Lamentably, minorities had suffered regarding the distribution of flood relief goods so much so that they took out a protest rally.
Our religion teaches us to make all possible efforts to secure the rights and welfare of the minorities.
As it is quoted, “When our Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) conquered a non-Muslim state, he ordered not to destroy or demolish any non-Muslim worship area or prayer area.” Why are Islamic teachings not understood in their true sense?

Floods: contaminated water taking its toll
Wednesday, 29 Sep, 2010
Many people and animals have drowned in the flood. Their bodies are still in the water and are now decaying, as a result of which germs are spreading into the water.
This water is travelling from different canals, streams and finally falling into the lakes and river.
This contaminated water is further moving into the water pumps of local areas and from these pumps, it’s finally entering into our homes.
We are using this contaminated water for our household purposes, i.e. for drinking, bathing and cooking, causing diseases to nurture in our bodies.
It is attacking human immune systems which are not strong enough to fight with such deadly viruses.
That is why everybody is suffering from viral diseases that are flu, cough, fever, typhoid, malaria, etc. Every other person is sneezing or coughing.
I request the government to take immediate action and measures to purify the water which is very unhygienic for human health.
People are strongly recommended to boil water before drinking or use water purification tablets or filters.

Zahra Nasir wrote the article Which is the ‘Queen’s English’? very eloquently and provided us with very useful information that we didn’t know earlier. I got to learn many new and interesting facts about the English language — how it evolved and how the various dialects differ from the original language.
There’s a vast difference between 17th century and today’s English language and the various dialects of English made me wonder how even the English-speaking people could understand all dialects.
The compilation, What a language, by Asma was also a nice piece of writing. Also, Online language tools by Nizar Diamond Ali seem to be very helpful for children who want to learn English language in a fun way.
Over all, the issue Under the bee’s spell, was a very interesting one.

Media and psychological change
Sir: It is true that the media has changed human minds socially and psychologically. It makes us selfish and senseless. A decade ago we would get scared and worried when we heard any news regarding bomb blasts or violence of any kind. However, now it is like a routine affair. Moreover, targeted killing has now become a part of our lives, especially for Karachiites. It seems like we are living in a valley of retarded people who do not have grey cells to think. Our main focus is earning, by fair or unfair means.

My African experience
KARACHI: This is with reference to the article “My African experience” by Mujahid Alam (September 26). It is true that there are many misconceptions about Africans, similar to the misconceptions people have about us. It is our responsibility, as educated and progressive individuals, to clear these misconceptions. The author has rightly pointed out that people tend to relate the colour black with negativity and white with purity, which isn’t true. Skin colour is hardly relevant and the sooner people realise that the better.Noorulain Hanif

June 24, 2011 We are living in a country where might is right and this was proved after the brutal killings of Wali Khan Babar, Saleem Shahzad and now Sarfaraz Shah. The reasons behind their deaths are different but there is a common thread behind every killing — power. A person who has power is living like a king in Pakistan; he has the right to do anything freely, like the killers of these three innocent personalities. No one is there to question them. The government should investigate the matter so that such killings do not happen in the future. |

The Green Knights-Young Ink in old pen
My name is Noor-ul-ain Hanif and I am doing BS in Mass-Communication. To be very honest, I have done nothing for my country.
Inside home, I asked my cousin to put garbage in dustbin but when we are out I don’t say anything to him even I myself through garbage on floor and today, when I read the description for entries “write it, if you have done anything for your country”. After reading it I felt so much regret that I have not done anything for my country.
But when I rack my brain and I asked my heart “Have I done anything?” My brain and heart replied “Yes you have” and now I am in agreement with both of my organs.
As I am studying Mass-communication, I am going to be a journalist in future. Insha’Allah, I will be a responsible journalist which is the greatest need of time.
I am a writer also and I have written many articles regarding many issues which include articles related to 14th August in order to wake-up the Pakistani nation. I am a versatile writer because I am Pakistani and Pakistanis are very talented, the same talented blood is also circulating inside me and above all I am a student and in future my knowledge will strengthen my country
As I mentioned in the title I am a young ink (blood) in old pen. I will write articles, features, news and through them I will portray the positive image of my country in order to fulfill Quaid-e-Azam’s dream.
