Distorted Shapes

When I open the door of my room, a ray of sunlight enters in it. The sunlight brightens the room by splitting the chest of darkness. In that light, I can see the dust on the doors and windows. The nets are hanging with roof and corners. I cannot see any spider but the nets are hanging there. The dust is residing on the body of books, placed in broken shelves. The glasses are filling with scratches. The locks and keys are changing every fortnight. The rags are filled with dust. The water drops and cracks the ceiling of my room. The birds are sitting at windows and bees at door. The shape of my room has been changed and I fear that soon it will become a ruined site for tourists to enjoy, on the name of ‘culture’.

Different Dimensions

Note: These topics are the drafts I created from time to time on random topics. I am posting them on internet to get your comments and criticism so I can improve them, if possible.

 

There are several different dimensions to see an object. Every dimension is different from other. Every dimension gives a different meaning and different direction to an object. Even a single word or a single sentence could be seen in different ways. Even a slight change of angle changes the perspective while a single dimension includes hundreds of angles. From a grain to a galaxy, everything has different dimensions to portray different perspectives.

The portraying of a picture depends upon the power of imagination one have. Even the good things could be used for wrong means. If good things could not be served for bad purposes, how Satan arose when the origin of everything was Nur? Allah says in Qur’an that translates as:

Portraying something is more difficult than feeling something. When a professional watch some portrait, he do not regard a portrait to be good or bad as itself but he gives the credit of goodness and badness to the maker and creator of the image. A mother is responsible for the goodness and badness of a child and a father is responsible for the goodness and badness of the mother of his child. The husband, who designs the goodness and badness of his wife (in the first instance) is also a child of a mother who is a wife of a husband. This is a zigzag fashioned chain is granted by nature, to design the societies.

Watching the floor from the roof has a little resemblance with the top of a mountain. It, sometimes, gives the feeling that you are standing on a mountain and watching down.

The top of a mountain is very safe and sound place for anyone to stand on. If the person standing down wants to throw something on you, the gravity is with you, acting against that person. You have an eagle eye from the top of the mountain. Allama Iqbal said,

Traditional and Conventional

I like to be traditional and conventional; I don’t know why I think, this is the reason why I like the history of my ancestors, Muslims and my nations. I feel pride in our traditions, cultures, and customs. My topic could be summarised in two proverbs:.

(i) Old is Gold.

(ii) All glitters are not gold.

Small life for work

Life is really a gift from God. For satans, it is gift as they only love world and worldly things and for angels it is a gift as it is a battle field and examination hall. Here, the angel who wins, becomes a human and the one who fails becomes a satan.

فرشتہ کہہ کے میری توقیر نہ گھٹاؤ

میں مسجودِ ملائک ہوں مجھے آدم ہی رہنے دو

Human is superior from an angel and that’s why angels bowed the man. But it is not an easy task.

What do we need today?

Taking out the time for thinking and writing is the difficult thing in a student’s life. And it’s not only for me, the flag holders of this declaration, but all of the dedicated students say so (although I am not among them).

On 14th of February, I asked Rida Zuberi, “do you love creativity?” and got a disappointing answer, “creativity? Not really. im too busy to be creative.” I have stated the reason for this in my stanzas,

Knowledge without etiquettes

People used to say that a person who has less hairs on his head is a rich person or would be a rich person. The simple story behind it was that people used to believe that a person who has more tension  has less hairs. As the arrival of money increases the worry (not the worry of spending the money but the worry of saving it), so the hairs start falling. But, since the last decade, people use to say that the one who has less clothes on his body is more fashionable and rich. Likewise, it is said that more knowledgeable person has less etiquettes and respect for others, although we have ever listened that knowledge teaches etiquettes. The justification of these opposite things is that people just study knowledge but do not learn or apply that knowledge on themselves. Today, we will try to explain this issue.

My Lahore Trip–Iqbal Museum

Assalamo Alaikom.

Some times, I am lazy. Other times, I just focus on one subject and leave all other things behind. Both of these cases give birth to the third case when I forget that I’d ever started anything.

So, today, we are not going to the Museum (as promised in last episode). Today, we are going to Iqbal Museum (which was a shorter visit). Then, we’ll go to the tombs of Mughal Emperors.

My Lahore Trip–Minar-e-Pakistan

DSCF0671

Assalamo Alaikom.

After Badshahi mosque, we went to Minar-e-Pakistan. This is a 175 feet tall minaret (if I am recalling correctly what I was told in year 2004 or 2005, when I visited it). It was constructed in the memory of the Lahore Resolution (passed on 23rd May 1940). Liaquat Ali Shah Sahib told me that the workers used to construct it with ablution and his father was also the one among those workers. He further added that 2 workers died, by falling down, while putting the cap of this minaret.
