PESHAWAR - THE SCHOOL REOPENS

--- THE SCHOOL RE-OPENS ---



One of the golden phase in almost everyone’s life – School days! We all want to relive them, cherish those moments, sit on those benches & enjoy the company of our buddies once again. The time that we spent with our friends, the innocent mischief, that one excuse to move out of the class just to tease our friends & many more is still fresh in our mind!  But that won’t be the dream of every child, especially those who attended the Peshawar Military School, Pakistan.  
Jan 13, 2015, THE SCHOOL RE-OPENS.

“Time waits for none! The whole world moved on & so did we. It won’t be fun to go to school anymore as things are not the same. The benches that we used to share with our best friends will be shared with new friends. We might move on but won't forget what we saw on Dec 16, 2014! Unconsciously, a fear will always be there on the back of our mind, but we’ll overcome it.  Earlier, our parents used to force us to study so that we could make a better living. Now we want to study not because of our parents but for ourselves. We saw the stupendous mutilation that illiteracy & lack of education can cause. We want to educate ourselves so that as grown-ups we can preach humanity & the true meaning of life to the one who are straggled”!

Today, we can’t even imagine the situation of those families who might be preparing their kid’s lunch box, ironing their clothes, getting them ready to go to school & waving them at the school gate. They are trying to bring their broken pieces of living back to life, but whenever the calendar hits the date Dec 16, their memories will be refreshed!

"The wounds have healed but the scars will always be there!!!"

The Real Image

The Real Image in a virtual world! There was some event at my son’s school. Diyan was excited as this was the first time parents were invited to be a part of an event. Me & my wife sat on the second last row of the hall & soon, the show began. The event lasted for two hours which involved some group activities & drawing competition for the kids. Almost all the parents were cheering their kids except one. White short Gujrati kurta-pyjama, rumples on his face, thick glasses, a dark brown stick, trembling hands & barely able to stand on his feet but was trying his best to encourage almost every toddler. Thanks to those gossiping ladies through whom I came to know that Hemant bhai is seen in almost every fuction dedicated to children happening around the vicinity. No big deal, right? An old chap, nearly in his 80s, who might have nothing to do at that age, is trying to fritter away time. Couple of days later, I took Diyan for an evening walk at the near...

Why cant BJP and its supporters handle criticism?

Why can’t BJP & its supporters handle criticism? You are in power & it’s a democratic country. As a citizen of this diverse nation, we have the right to ask questions to the government & you’re obligated to answer us. Why do you have to defend yourself behind the excuse of Congress whenever we ask questions about the benefit of demonetization? Indeed it took us 60 years to realize that Congress was incompetent to run the country. Isn’t that the reason we gave an opportunity to you (with majority) in the first place? Why don’t you justify the after math of demonetization? The nation wants to know, after all those sacrifices, what have we achieved! We stood outside atm for days; 1.5 million lost their jobs; 2% downfall in GDP & 100+ martyrs outside the ATM/banks for the betterment of the country… We all accepted it assuming this is what it takes to become a corruption free country & at the end, it will be all worth it! You have asked for 50 days, we gave you a...
