Facts of Life


1. Some unrefusable facts of today’s world. Today:
      •  We have “bigger houses” but “small families”.
      • “More degrees” but “less common sense”.
      • “Advance medicines” but “poor health”.
      • “Touched moon” but “no contact with neighbor”.
      • “High income” but “less peace of mind”.
Because today, we believe in Allah but “we don’t obey Allah”.

2. In a daily life, you find 100% what you are looking for. But the only thing that matter is “what you choose to find”.

3. A negative thinker always sees a difficulty in every opportunity. But a positive thinker always sees an opportunity in every difficulty.

4. Two types of people are always failed in the life. One those who do not listen to anybody and second those who listen to everybody.

5. Do not make your aims like a garden because everyone walks on it. Make your aims like the sky so that everyone wishes to touch it.

6. A leaf which falls from the tree is always on the mercy of wind. It goes wherever the wind takes it. So be the wind to drive others. Not the leaf to be driven by others.

7. Love + Care = Mother
    Love + Fear = Father
    Love + Help = Sister
    Love + Fight = Brother
    Love + Life = Wife
    Love + Care + Fear + Help + Fight + Life = FRIEND
Dedicated to my all "SINCERE FRIENDS"

8.  Due to wealth, human forgets himself and without wealth, people forget him.

9. The company of good people is like a shop of perfume. Whether you buy the perfume or not, you will receive a lot of fragrance from there.

10. When people walk away from you, stop them once. If still they do not stop, let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anybody who leaves you and it also doesn’t mean that they are bad people. It’s just that their part in the story is over.
But people who stay with you, who do not leave you and would always stand by your side are the ones who you actually need. They love you and care for you. They play may be a small but an important part in your life. Dedicated to all those who were and who are the part of my small world.

Cyclone "Phet" in Karachi


After creating huge, unclear and unlimited damages and disruption in the province of Balochistan, the direction of cyclone “Phet” was moved to Karachi (biggest city of Pakistan and also where I live) at Sunday evening (6th June 2010).

Before arriving in Karachi, the Phet badly hit Balochistan on Saturday. Pakistan Meteorological Department said that due to its influence, it rained heavily in all the coastal areas of Balochistan including Gawadar (70 mm), Jiwani (208 mm), Pasni (127 mm), Turbat (63 mm), etc. According to facts and figure, over 500,000 people affected from this cyclone.

Heavy rain had also begun in Karachi at Saturday late night (from almost 2 to 4 a.m) due to influence of cyclone when it was 200 km away from beach of Karachi. I was in my apartment’s balcony and viewing the sight of rain. There were nor electricity except light of clouds. No sound except sound of heavy rain and thunder of clouds. Also, Rain was continuing from time to time till the next day (Sunday) just before entering cyclone to Karachi.

It was expecting that Phet would hit Karachi between 7 to 8 p.m. including gusts of wind with maximum 60 miles per hour. But with a kind of Allah, the cyclone passed without hitting Karachi and moved to interior areas of Sindh including Thatta, Bhanbhor and Ghaaro. There, heavy rain with strong gusts of wind and gale started and till the last news I got, the disruption is still continue.

Like past, also this time, Allah protected the city Karachi from the cyclone, but due to the heavy rain from last night, atleast 10 people died in different incidents from rainfall in which mostly due to electrocution. 2 to 3 foot rainwater is present not only at the roads but also at the roundabouts, beneath underpasses and overhead bridges. City District Government of Karachi has started to flush out the water.

History told us that whenever such type of cyclones are created, Allah always keeps the city Karachi safe from them. Although the city is almost in the route of those cyclones but just before arriving them, their direction is changed naturally. People said and believe that it happens due to the miracles and tombs of different Sufi Saints which are situated in different areas of the city.
