Urdu – A complex

Being a Citizen of a Nation, it is extremely important to know the language spoken in the areas of that particular nation. So as being citizens of the country, Pakistan it is our duty to learn and speak in the language which is commonly spoken all over Pakistan; Urdu. Besides Urdu there are various languages spoken in Pakistan according to the areas. But as a Pakistani speaking Urdu is a must. Sadly people have become completely complexed. Meaning, they have lost their identities. Today, Urdu has been categorized as the language of the lower class. How mean and selfish. Where is this leading us to? It’s taking us nowhere. I’m not saying that we should only speak Urdu, we should speak other languages too. But we shouldn’t be “complexed” by speaking Urdu. English has taken over the world. That’s a big success. And why has this happened? Because the English are proud of their language. They feel superior by speaking their language. They are not complexed. They do not feel deprived. I saw on the television, that a man translated the Holy Quran into Urdu in Roman letters. He did a good job for those who wish to learn Urdu but cannot read or write it. These are those people who have not been raised in Pakistan. Who have not ever lived in a Pakistani society but they are Pakistani by heart.

Previously I read an article over The Express Tribune, I do not remember the writer’s name. She had mentioned an incident, that a few friends were having a chitchat in a restaurant in Italy, there the waiter asked them if they were from Europe as they were speaking fluent english. After getting ‘no’ as a reply from the friends the waiter asked them the reason for not speaking in their native language. The people were left speechless. So, we come to a conclusion that, Urdu is basically a complex for the Pakistanis of today. These days when you ask someone to read an article in Urdu, their reply would be ‘Oh dear, I am so bad at Urdu. I don’t want to read.’ It’s just stupid, i mean hello, you’re living in Pakistan and you don’t know the language! Or even if you do, you won’t speak it because you’d be considered “Urdu Medium.” And when one would ask someone to speak In English, then the tongue would not stop blabbing in Accents you’ve never heard in your life before. Its a crazy fact though. This makes me sad and want to laugh at the same time. People have lost their values. It’s just really sad.

It’s Our responsibility, Our duty, to raise and promote the culture of our Pakistan. The country which is already facing downfall, at least we should not let it’s language face downfall! I hope we take this concept of Complex out of our minds.

Don’t get carried away..

Usually when we’re about to face something BIG, we are told to be confident. Yes, we are told to be confident but not OVER-confident. And most of us add the word “Over” to it.  Getting carried away with your confidence is the biggest weakness ever and that’s how you lose. Instead of being so bold and proud, the right thing to do is pray to God. Because winning and losing all lies in his hands only. You do not make your future. It all depends on what he desires. He just shows you the right path or just hints you towards that path.

Coming back to the point… Over-confidence is like jumping from one building to another and then falling because you didn’t realize that gravity exists. So don’t just go jumping without thinking because, that would just finish you off in the blink of an eye. You can’t let that happen. You don’t want to lose. You want to win. And for winning, you need a steady heart that controls all the proud feelings that come across its way. There fore for accomplishing something, you shouldn’t get carried away.

God doesn’t like those who get carried away, who become proud of what they are and forget to thank Him about it. And hence you won’t get support from God if you forget about him. The best thing to do is, bring both of your hands together, say his name and ask for what ever you need! He will listen to the true feelings that come straight from the bottom of your hearts. All you have to do is ask him. Pray to him. And thank Him. That’s what it takes to reach success. BELIEVE In God, because he believes in you.

Since Pakistan(My beloved country) is competing in the Cricket World Cup Semi-Final, this wednesday, let’s all pray to God for our victory. What I want to tell every one through this paragraph is that “Arrogant words, rude behavior and proud feelings are NOT taking you to victory! That person never wins anything who shows arrogance.” Mark my words. Have faith, believe and be humble to everyone. Let it be your enemy or your best friend, they are all like you.

Let’s bring both our hands together and hope for the best.

May he grant Pakistan with victory. May he bless our country. Oh Allah! Please let this match be a victory for Pakistan. InshAllah! Ameen!

Well, I’m not just asking for a victory in a match but for a successful future for our country as well! May we be successful in all aspects of life. Ameen.

Oh God, please listen to us! We are Believers of what shall be believed.

A new Journey..

Recalling, reminiscing, all those moments. Those moments, those past days, we thought wouldn’t be important, turned out to be the BEST memories. The time we thought wouldn’t be missed ever, is being missed the most. The time I thought was nothing, made my present SOMETHING.

I came across the wonders of the world. I saw light. I found life, I found people who can be marked as my life. This one decade I spent with my life can NEVER be forgotten. Even if someone tries to brainwash me(hopefully not) I will still remember these people whom I came across. They are unforgettable, unavoidable, everlasting MEMORIES of my life. They will forever and always remain in my heart. It’s a promise I made to them. And that promise shall remain unbroken.

Time flies SO quickly. It seems like Yesterday that I got to know some people and today we’re saying farewell. Though we will remain in each other’s hearts, but the things won’t just be the same like they used to be.

Well, this is what we call change, A positive change is always appreciated. And it’s time to begin a new life, full of new memories and new moments to remember. Time flies and tends to change almost everything. But it depends on us if we agree to change or not. Sometimes change is good.

Let’s begin a new journey. A new path awaits our footsteps. Let’s step into this new realm and experience whatever we come across. It’s a whole new adventure.

Millions against one!

This is the edge.

Standing on the edge of a mountain, with my mind thinking deep. My head faces the skyline. My eyes glare at that huge army. I’m lost. They are so bright, yet so many! Millions. They are stronger than me. How would i fight? I’m just one while they are infinite. I feel intimidated. I hear my heart sinking. Am i losing hope? My sword’s on the ground. My hands are shivering. I can’t open my eyes. Oh dear lord! Save me. The darkness is taking over me. The army is too strong. But i won’t be defeated. Oh daylight! I need you. The night has caught me in its net.
