Cats

This entry is in connection with my daily experience with three stray cats who happen to come at our backyard in search of food.

Once i felt that these cats are at my backyard everyday, i started to buy cat food and feed them everyday. All three of them have different behavior. One is grey haired and perhaps the most innocent one. This one comes at a specific time and sit among the plants and wait for me. As and when i open the door, she jumps out and come near the door, i would pour food and there she goes, start eating, once finished she would leave without even looking back. Somehow, i always expected a look saying thank you but it never happened.

The second one is black and white, ugly! i would say, this one only come in when i actually open the door and be out in my backyard for more than two minutes, she would climb down to water tank in our backyard and then in front of my study room window and then down on the floor, but while she is on water tank, she would look straight to me as if making sure that i know that she is there. Once on floor she would hide behind water pump and wait. She would not come out until i go near that spot, pour food and get back to the door. She would wait a little more and than come out and start eating. Once finished, she would look at me again as if thanking me for the food and then come sit among the plants for some time and then leave.

The third one is a tom. Golden haired, very friendly. He comes not too often. But whenever he sees me out in the backyard, he would jump from the wall straight to the floor, come right next to me and start meowing. Even if i am not in a mood to go in and get the food, he makes me do it being consistent in meowing. Eats his food and come next to me and say thanks whirling around me while i am looking after the plants and then goes.

Sometimes it happens that we are out of cat food, but once anyone of them is there, i have to get some chicken meat, which my wife buys in bulk, out of our freezer and feed them. I dont feel like turn them away hungry.

Now why did i write this!! I don't know, but i was thinking that if a human is forced to feed stray cats even when out of cat food. He would arrange it somehow feeling bad that cats might get hurt, without any prejudice, without them being thankful, making it a priority. if only we could have same
relationship with Allah, i don't think that Allah would ever turn us down for our needs. We just have
to be like one of those stray cats, is it too difficult for us?

Imprisoned Hear me! Heed me! One more time!! Hear my whispers, hear my rhymes I fright! For I sense my words would soon fade If not uttered; If not heard; They shall perish forever, And never shall wake Artisted, I confess! Crafted and beautified, Indeed they are prettied And mystified But they are real, They are sincere. Prisoned in me for years. They are chested Amid agonizing noise Silent; they are dusted Hear them now For they are fading Free them! For they are long awaiting Take them For I am weary of the keep. In absolution, I want to finally sleep Hear me! Hear me! One last time. Muhammad Ali Monday July 18, 2016

The Agreement with Religious Elements for Sharia Law Implementation in Northern Areas of Pakistan

Well! What shall I say, when the agreement for Sharia Implementation in Northern Areas was reached between the N.W.F.P. Government and Mr. Sufi Muhammad, I was happy and totally in agreement with it. I thought that both the parties were sincere in this deal and the lasting peace could be achieved in troubled areas. But I was so wrong. Mr. Sufi Muhammad (I wouldn't call him Maulana as I don’t think he understands the very basics of Islam) started to think that the government has bowed down to his demands and he has a license to do whatever he wants and challenged the very foundations of Democratic Pakistan, plus he was not able to convince all factions of Taliban to lay down heir weapons. The activities f Taliban continued. Killing, extortion, kidnapping, suicide bombings are all the same, nothing has changed. Now some people are saying that they should be given time but I am with the view that the matter is so sensitive that Pakistan could lose and lose fast. The agreement should ...

Change 2013

Being a Pakistani, i should have been sure by now who to support in Election 2013 as the voting is hours away. However, i have my reasons to be undecided yet. I am all confused. No one seems to be with clean hands. The only one who has not been tried yet is IK and seems a reasonable choice in this confusion, however, his so called revolution and promises, by far, sound unrealistic and need only miracles for them to happen. 90 days for elimination of corruption, sounds very unlikely, given very deep roots of corruption and wrong doings in societal setup of Pakistan. I am also very much vary of the social media campaign of PTI, i am not sure if the most of the admins of all those Facebook pages and twiteers' supporting PTI are friends or foes. To me whatever is being said and depicted on social media reflects the very nature and kind of the followers PTI have and i must say, to me, it is, by far, not impressive, instead, it simply drives me away from the party it represent.  They say...
