Living In Bubbles

Living In Bubbles Most of us live in bubbles and bubbles are all but durable, vulnerable is the word synonym to bubbles. Prey mostly to external dynamics, bubbles can burst at any given moment. 

People living in bubbles, I think, although as vulnerable as their dwellings are, they do not share same situations, feelings and emotions; rather have different and varied states. It all depends where the bubble is, floating in the air, high or low; resting on the ground and if on the ground; where on the ground and, most of all, how well aware people are where they are. It is an irony to me that people living in bubbles, floating high, think they are the fortunate ones. Well! Soaring high is a good thing, it always has been, however, these people tend to forget that such elevations are not realized through their own wings but mostly because of and subject to external dynamics. They live most part of their lives structuring their bubbles rather than growing their wings. To me it is not just ironic but unfortunate. Why I think so? I think so because the moment their bubble will burst, it will be a free fall, direction and speed of which is absolutely out of their grasp, and not to mention the impact once they would hit the ground. They might survive but they would never live again. 

This does not necessarily mean that the people living in bubbles resting on the ground are better off, but, I think, they are slightly gainful. Although, more vulnerable and exposed to external dynamics than that of floating ones, at least they would find their feet on ground once their bubble will burst. What is disadvantageous for these people is that they are static. Happy may be, they do not have desire to change, to move, to run, to explore.

Among the people living in the bubbles, a very few of them, are fortunate enough that their bubble will burst at an ideal time either to get them to a higher ground, where they can land on their own feet or just about the right time on ground when there is an open space for them to move, run and explore freely. 

Having said that, I also believe that bursting of bubbles for these few fortunate ones, almost never occur by chance, but through their own endeavors to secure their bubble until the ideal time arrives for its bursting. 

I wonder though, why do we construct these bubbles and why do we live in them? Why can’t we grow our wings and legs to soar and to run on our own? Even a bigger question for me is if we could ever escape those bubbles?

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...
