<span class="userContent">A person who is 70+ shared his life
experiences that he had been “an Eeyore not a Tigger; a pessimist, not
an optimist; an aimless grasshopper, not a purposeful ant; a dreamer,
not a doer; a nomad, not a settler; a voyager, not an adventure<span class="text_exposed_show">r; a spectator, not an actor, player or participant.” <br /> - Lines from David Brooks' article in NYTimes.com.<br /> <br />
Sometimes I try to behave like an object. I keep searching for the
purpose of my life but I never get that. I have found myself standing
like an idiot who does not know what to do next. <br /> But whenever I
caught a beam of light I followed it, and learn new things and tried to
collect all the bonanzas out of it, including happiness. <br /> Then I
discovered probably the aim of my life is to be happy and making others
happy.. but i want more, something bigger.. I really don't know what
exactly it is, but beyond doubt I'll reach there and grab it.. ;)<br /> I
don't want to end up like a dreamer, now I'll focus on how to become a
doer.. I have achieved just few things in life, although they seems
nothing to me at the moment, but better is that for convincing myself to
be a doer I have to remember all minute things too :p You know
repeating "I can do it" has a powerful impact for boosting up your
abilities... :)<br /> I'm not gonna give up easily, I'll be a fighter
(won't kick someone's ass :p ) because it's illuminating all around me,
except in load-shedding hours..<br /> So I have written a lot here, now I gotta go but don't forget to give me your feedback k aapke ghar mei light jati hai ya nhi?</span></span><br />

My most favorite place was my Nani’s house..</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none 0px;">
The rooms and corridors where I ran after my cousins to catch them.. The roof top from where I can see all the places nearby.. The Kitchen where I waited for my Nani who used to prepare breakfast for everyone and my Khala who sat down near the stove and prepared Rotiyan for dinner.. The Lounge where we all sit together and watch PTV dramas on that old style over sized small screen color TV.. :P</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none 0px;">
There was a big Verandah, where my Mamoos and Abbu used to sacrifice animal (cow, sheep or goat) on every Eid-ul-Azha. I stand there until I see all the body parts of it which I’ve learnt in my school.. Those staircase where all cousins sit together and discussed so many things. We had races on that staircase, who will reach the top first… :D And that orange Ice-cream, which all the family eat everyday twice.. Yummmmyyyy moment… :)</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none 0px;">
These are among the best memories of my childhood…</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px; outline: none 0px;">
Now I miss that house.. It’s no more my Nani’s House.. I wish I had a time machine and I could go back to that time when there were riots in the city due to which my elders took decision to sell that house.. I would have changed the riots into peace so that I can make more memories there… :)</div>

Journalists have been getting paid from a long time for
creating violence, hiding wrong deeds of their masters and shedding
EXTRA light on non-issues… They bring non-issues in lime light, when
there is a serious issue going on and most of the time that issue
belongs to religion or our country. The issues about which our people
are very serious, but media have thousands of techniques to cover-up
that important issue under some non-sense fake news.<br />
I am a student of journalism.. I hate media, because I can see
everything with my open mind… I don’t want to be professional journalist
because I know the powerful masters, who have turned media into a
business would never let me change anything..<br />
As few of the journalists who have been saying truth and are
prosperous to our country and religion, probably they can help in
bringing some betterment to our society/country. May be if I ever get
chance to work with them, I’ll change my decision too, and join
journalism..<br />
Because journalism is the field through which I can make every
possible way to bring happiness, satisfaction and safety to the people
of my country.<span id="goog_1986194163"></span><span id="goog_1986194164"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;">You are wrong... Don't do this.. Don't do that.. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;">These are few words we have been listening from our childhood, whenever our elders think we have mistaken. They don't think that they might have done something erroneous, which led these circumstances.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;">So we have been brought up learning to BLAME others....</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;">Media and Government have always been held responsible for everything going on around us.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;">Media is responsible for immorality and fakeness. Government is responsible for corruption, riots, inflation, etc.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;">We never want to take responsibility of anything, but never forget to make others realize about their responsibilities.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 18px;">Have we ever thought about this...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 18px;">What is media showing are the things WE want to see. Now some of us will say, I don't watch those idiotic morning shows' SHAADI festivals, I don't like politicians arguing in talk shows, I am not interested in Indian stuff..</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 18px;">But mere bachon, the people around us are deliberately watching these things. Before blaming media, try to stop them first. Teach them what is right or wrong, what is being sold in the name of entertainment, what are those negative or positive impacts or agendas hidden in the content. But please halka hath rakhiyega because everybody has his/her own choice.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 18px;">What I do with my father is quite funny. Whenever he tune in to any talk show, where host who have forgotten all the ethics of journalism has to pin the guests on critical issues to make them non serious. The guests shout on each other, and we can't even listen to anyone of them. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 18px;">I can't resist it, so I get up and say "Ohh Please... ye larayi jhagra mat dekha krein.." and leave... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;">The end of this everyday story is that my father now watches the show I like ;)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;">So never give up, one day people among you will listen to what you say. Watching this change will make you happier and give you a sense of achievement. And I am sure one day media will also change its in-appropriate content.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The most important thing is that we all use social media, we have became a part of media, we write status and share pictures with some messages. These messages are being read by the people all over the world. Isn't it our responsibility to share the words which are not harmful in any instance. The messages which make peace and rectify the mistakes instead of assassinating other's character. If we want to bring any positive change, we have to make best use of our communication skills. Never argue, discuss gently.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="background-color: #660000; color: white; line-height: 18px;">So my friends don't blame... Just do something... It's not that difficult... :)</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="background-color: #660000;"><b><span style="color: white; font-family: georgia, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> “I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn't do, and I’ve hurt myself by hurting you.”</span></span><span style="color: white; font-family: georgia, serif; line-height: 18px;"> - Christina Aguilera...</span></b></span></blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It was a boring weekday of 2005, when I wrote my first poem while sitting in my class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It took few minutes to complete it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I was so nervous to show it to others.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Because I didn't know whether they're gonna like it or not.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Everyone appreciated it alot, my friends, parents and teachers. :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But all credit goes to my teacher Hamza Junaidy, who asked me to write everyday.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">From then i wrote, and learnt from my mistakes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I remember what silly mistakes I used to do at that time. :D</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am still learning and rectifying myself.</span></div>
