Hurrem in Pakistan

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror

Beauty is always appreciated; moreover, smile on lips in front of enemies enriches the charm. This is what we call in casual words “inner beauty or pure soul”

Hürrem sultan Roxelana came to Pakistan since the start of this year. Initially she failed to get the attention. But soon her eye-catching dance and Nagar Khatoon’s advices allured the King’s heart.

 Turkey to Pakistan, all and sundry, started following her what next is going to happen to her? And how she successfully retained her attitude and beauty .But one day, after she became mother of two, she was deported. 

But she didn’t let herself down she kept trying and finally she got the secret coming inn again. Now she came with new weapon; weapon of smile.

Her new look left others in jeopardy .No one is a competitor of her in Pakistan.  She is the only “confident beauty pageant” not only in Turkey but in Pakistan .Her wardrobe, jewelry her freshly done manicure her 5.7” height justified public’s madness towards her.  

Her fairness get more fairer with her fame .Now she became a mother of five but her beauty and attitude still remains .

Her million dollars smile her cute crying face her yelling naughtiness made her official wife of 10^th king of Ottoman Empire Sultan Sulemian .She was getting older but her beauty Pakistani people mad .She clearly knows how to win the  heart but one day unfortunately , one maid became  dear to king.

Still story goes on. We all know Hurem never stepped  back .Actually she compelled many to stood back .However, this is real Queen’s story ,wife of Sultan Suleiman .

Many rumors surrounded that the downfall of 10^th king ottoman empire END’s  with Ibhram pasha’s death .

Hurrem wanted the downfall of Ibhraim Pasha (because he killed her first lover).

Story revolves around the beauty Queen “Hurrem” how he came to palace and how she struggled for getting king’s heart. 

This is  Story of Hurem and pasha rivalry. Revenge of her first lover, anyhow, historical beauty pageant in reality becomes the queen of Pakistani heart. Because they clearly know Pakistani Turkish Friendship is obligatory for us. Thanks Hurrem we love u

                                                                                                                                                                            

Abya and Sleeveless new uniform:

Last week I received interview call from my own sector school. But I rejected the job specifically the condition of abya and veil that was mandatory for teachers (especially in front of school director). After this, many things started popping in my mind.

This becomes the story of every school. So I decided to lets’ discourse the western vs eastern uniform for teachers.

Two years back, my elder sis wasn’t feeling well due to bad fever she covered her head before entering the class. And suddenly she received a comment, ma’m you are not looking good (because of duptta). One of friend has gone before for the demo of teacher, she received the advice to become stylish.

 Hey wait a second what’s this. I am unable to grab this. Our opposition leader Mr. Imran khan’s famous slogan is: educational system should be equal.

 One mode of language should be imposed. But here, uniform becomes a dilemma. Here language is same (English) but followers of different school of thought. Both are practicing extreme behavior. One is follower of extreme religious and other is follower of extreme western culture.

I recalled one statement of my mum’s colleague’s daughter; “new teacher is not good; her heels are cracked”. I know it’s a psyche of kinder-garden or1-3^rd grade student. They are attracted towards colorful things. Kids are the mirrors of their teachers. If teacher speaks loudly so as the children do. But this environment makes me confused what school should I choose for my future children. One is preaching extreme religious behavior and one is opposite. May be I am accused of sin if I don’t send my child to abya school or send to sleeveless teacher.

What should I supposed to do? These thoughts are boiling my mind am I disobeying my religion? On the other hand, I also feel hesitated to go outside without duptta. Whether it is private school or madrassa everyone is inducing their thoughts.

These perceptions shaping split personalities in one society. Not only this having the fear of hatred material teaching in classes. Unfortunately, private schools teachers are less educated even BA English failed also teaching there. So-called good standard schools terminate their teachers for modifying things. However, poor economy has compelled teachers to obey supervisors.

 All of above, I am trying to depicting the picture of hallow society.

Now physical appearance becomes more than inner values. Government of Pakistan living in fool’s paradise where Taliban is a bigger issue. Actually unequal educational institute opening the room for talibanization. In short, moderation is best policy of everything like Islam said to us.

Ist day

I hate “first days” without any reason. First days of schools, colleges ,university and  I don’t even watch the first episode of any drama . I used to skip  1^st  Day  of everything. But sometimes you have to come across this too. First day of my most recent ex-office was strange and wired than others. I entered in office (sharp 9am that I was supposed to be) and then I sat in to reception area. It was a big room having photocopy machine, TV, four black sofa’s (one of them I was sitting) and decorated with some ethnic pieces. I was anxiously waiting , in this feeling, I asked blue and black pant wearing man (support staff) what should I do ? He replied just wait. Then after 15 mins, my wait got over and my boss said to me lets go and finally I got my cabin full of messy things. Then I got orientation, read books, got introduction with whole staff, little chit chat with people and that how 1^st day closed. My first lesson was not to come on time.

 No one bothered whether other’s wore simple frock and abya . Because according to them, everyone must be accountable to their own actions. Every passing time the environment absorbing me and EM adopting their norms. And within 1 month nothing is strange to me. My messy desk changed into new desk and my front board is filled with sticky notes with hotel Transylvania wallpaper on desktop.  After 3 months everything going into continuity, work and even my desk. Everyone became my friends

But when my arrival date came,(completion of contract ), everything went in reverse motion. Everything was going away from me. Now my full desk changed into empty. I wrapped the  whole stuff and handled things to supervisors. I had associated some fears with first day or I consciously wanted to avoid introductory session of everything. I wanted to see things in flow every one cheering, not to struggling for making relationship or other’s making fun of their first appearance.  Mostly in office, everyone is teasing the new comers without recalling their own 1^st day. Putting barriers and discouraging and back biting. This used to happen everywhere. I  also became victim of this like others.

Through my good listening skills without interpreting them and won’t broadcasted it. I concluded people used to backbite their seniors, when they mostly need their juniors as a guide.  (It happened in offices when they hired new seniors or some doesn’t like anyone to be superior than them etc) .Most loveable moment is when backbiting is prohibited in offices and every single person proudly disobeying the law.  :D

 It is psychological that we hardly welcome others with full heart. This feeling called ragging in educational institutes. This ragging changed into discouraging or in official language calls “leg pulling”. In houses we used to call this phenomenon “grudges” towards latest edition of family calls “daughter n law”. It is a vicious cycle hurters ain’t feel this how much they unconformable others.  No matter how bad was happening with us in past we should try to adopt new changes appearing in life. Life is about constant changes in structure otherwise I would be monotonous.

In nutshell, 1st day fear come along with all new comers of every stage. In more causal words we can say its “revenge “. To take from those who never hurts you. Like suicide bombers taking “revenge” of whom they don’t know. The points from above I’m trying to make here is no body won’t replace you and you can’t replace anyone. Rather than to jealous just embrace new change and forget new comer’s some mistakes. Be optimistic J

Pakistan is not a worst place

Tell me the positive things about Pakistan. Since the birth of Pakistan you came across this sentence. Earlier it was very easy to answer this question. But now genocide killing, target killing and drone attacks lost its importance in a very true sense. This makes us insane towards this question?  Figuring out positive and negative is in human nature. That statement makes this question justified. Everyone straightly reply nothing is good about Pakistan . But my mind doesn’t accept this answer.

On 14^th August I was talking to my friend he wants to take admission further and was telling there is only few universities that are good. Unfortunately, in his list name of his own university where is graduated was not included. Like this one person came to city first time but was disappointed because everything was same. Like this we don’t like our country. There are so many reasons why we don’t like our country like; extreme inflation, not access to basic necessities moreover steady killing of persons made icing of hating.  So have we ever talked about positivity in Pakistan?

Everyone very easily declared Pakistan a failure state. But how come Pakistan always stands with destructed country or people. No matter they are Muslims or not. Like the case of Syria every Pakistani is standing against the act of America. Iraq time Pakistan stop using the products of America for showing the solidarity for Iraqi’s.  It is true Pakistan is going through its hard time but doesn’t prove at all nothing is good in Pakistan. So let’s make a list what is really good about Pakistan that have  to proud of it.

First of all Pakistan is friend of every country. Pakistan is not considering any country its enemy. Pakistan is one of those countries who always accept every country’s independence with true heart. Not only she has volunteering her soldiers for making peace in different countries.

Despite the Muslim country Pakistan doesn’t restrict anyone to wear certain clothes either you are foreigner or not. Pakistan is counted in world’s number one philanthropist country. Every country  is facing bagger’s issue so that Pakistan does. Despite its tough condition Pakistan is having the privilege of having higher IQ people. We can saw this by the records of A and O’s level.

 Abdul Satter  Edhi (Edhi Foundation runs the world's largest ambulance service and operates free nursing homes, orphanages, clinics, women's shelters, and rehab centers for drug addicts and mentally ill individuals. It has run relief operations in Africa, Middle East, the Caucasus region, eastern Europe and US where it provided aid following the New Orleans hurricane of 2005.)Who works for the world without any cause don’t you consider it is better than UN or UNDP ; who never raise voice against US for her brutality for Iraq and Syria.  I always heard this when I was in college and school we have to collect money for tsunami and other disasters. So Pakistan is not putting strength to building its nation but still have heart.

Positive thing is not only restricted to its philanthropist nature and high IQ level . Pakistan has having best forces in world . Pakistan is country combined with different weathers that other’s don’t have. Pakistan's gas distribution network is the second largest in the world after that of the United States. The media in Pakistan is among the most independent in the world as are the world-class journalists that comprise this institution. Moreover, Samina Baigh Giligit girl(Giligit reproach in people’s eye) who climbed the Everest at the age of 21.

We all not deny this fact that Pakistan is no doubt facing trouble time. But we can’t say this bad because never be a  part of invade any country. Pakistan never ever impose false allegation to any other. Many who raise the slogan of worst country to Pakistan consider those counted in those who are remain rulers by  snubbing other’s.

The point I am trying to make above it is very hard to love the country where thousands of people die daily ;effected by disaster and no help . But we hardly heard this words from effected people but we heard this words from those who hate Pakistan because it fashionista. Hard time had come to many countries and then they become super power. We can’t compare our country to India or any other. It’s about political upheavals and bad governance system that make people to hate any land.

12th Lux Style Awards

12^th Lux style awards ceremony being held on July 4 2013 at Lahore Pearl Continental . This time without indulging in the global culture war discussion just take a quick over view what was happened in silver awards ceremony. Every year the nomination is going lesser and it is solely dedicated to fashion. Just filling the formality of awards ceremony.  Purpose of entertainment and appreciation to talent is hiding in silver awards.  Here are the winners of the LSA.

People thoughts about LSA . 

omar r quraishi ‏@omar_quraishi5 JulGodfather IV ‏@godfatheriv10hBasit Subhani ‏@BasitSubhani44m

Ayesha Omar beat out Sajjad Ali, Sajid and Zeeshan and Usman Riaz, in the Best Album category at the Lux Style Awards - that is ABSURD

#OverHeard These "Lux Style Awards" should be for adolescent kids aged between 11-19. If you know what I mean. #Hahaha

@IflaZafar No sane person takes Lux Style Awards seriously anyway.

Anyways let’s take a look of who was wearing what who was disaster

of the event.

In nutshell, whatever the theme behind this I  just want to say awards ceremony should be dedicated to hard workers true professionals . In the name of glamour we shouldn't ignore true talent. Best of luck to stars  :)

Yeh jawani hai dewani

I had never thought to write any blog especially for Indian movie. But yesterday one movie obligates me to write over it ‘’Yeh Jawani Hai dewani’’. Whatever the concept behind this name but we all are Dewane of this movie. Deepika and Ranbir is rock stars not because of looks but for acting too. And icing on top story and direction made the movie superb worth watching. I hadn’t found any critics for this. I only heard the praise and refreshing movie comments. This not just from the teen groups but from the adult groups too. Its antidepressant movie

Anyhow coming back to YEH JAWANI HAI DEWANI ; firstly the opening scene of the movie is average or you can say below average. Movie begins with dance of Mahdouri and Ranbir. Movie begins with as usual Indian conventional style. Ranbir sitting with his parents (father with step mother) and keep arguing about dreams on the other hand Deepika obedient girl want some change .Remember in movie, Deepika was studying medicine in reputed college and known as nerd student. Ranbir was doing nothing at that time. One day Deepika met one of her school mate Geeti in grocery store. Where she told about her adventure trip with other classmates.  Finally Deepika after arguing with her mum about boring routine she came to rail way station for joining them. So from here story begins; story revolve around three friends Nana(Deepika),Bunny(Ranbir) Aditi  (Kalki Koechlin) and  Avi   (Aditya Roy Kapur). They reached the hill station. And quarreled and fun with each other. Aditi was a tom girl hard to handle but her acting makes the movie more interesting and crispy. Movie goes on. Avi and Bunny portraying the old picture of flirty hero’s.  Bunny (Ranbir) as usual depicting a cool and girls favorite guy as you can recall it from Shahrukh khan movie Dil wale dulyian lae jaye ge.  But this time maturity can saw from Indian writers and directors.  In this movie guy was much more passionate towards his goal. Anyways, during this trip they were divided in groups and guide told them the red flag myth that was hanging on the very high hill. Hero and heroine reached there and arrived back successfully. But in whole trip Nana(Deepika) changed a lot because of the bunny boosting conversation with her. And finally she started secretly loving him.

After their arrival, after 5 year Bunny having settled profession. But still roaming one to another place. Friend reunion came under the wedding of Aditi. Where all friends met quarreled with Bunny because of his non serious behavior towards relations and his absence. Especially with his father’s death and Avi . But things sorted out as the end comes.

During reunion, Bunny visited many places with Nana. And argued about the fun of visiting different places and live with relationships. Finally Bunny started falling in love with Nana too because of her  innocence, beauty and braveness.  But in the movie both were very passionate towards their goal. Here I am not disclosing the end of the movie. For this you have to take the time for this.

In short, movie is a story of 3 besties. How the one sacrifice relations for achieving something. But one thing that I really want to mention; ‘’Zingadi mein bhut kosh bi kare tou kuch na kuch choot he jata hai tou hum cheezo ke pache kun bahagy’’. Zingadi mein her cheeze ka aik waqt hota hai . So I am giving 5 stars to this. Best of luck J

Election and our beliefs

 Development – Improvement in human welfare, quality of life, social well being.

There are lots of ways to judge the country’s progress through its economic growth like GDP or GNP. But being a citizen of that country we can judge our country’s progress on availability of basic necessities to us. What country has provided for its most vulnerable inhabitants?  Like as we judged progress of last government. Our development and country’s development is interlinked.  If country is progressing then we our automatically.

Development is any positive change. Everywhere country is judged on its progress how much she succeeds in giving basic necessities. Like food, shelter, employment, health, safe water etc.  Pakistan where patriarchal system is highly practiced. Even opinions are mobilized here. Freedom of expression is rarely appreciated in Pakistan. If grandfather is casting their vote for lion then whole family must support him.

Physical development is only considers development in Pakistan. So what if we don’t have light. We scream a lot because of 18hr long load shedding in the peak of summer. But at least, damn we have good roadsJ.  The point I am trying to make here, there is a great need to identify what is development actually. Development or progress is occurs when you get your basic necessities without any hurdle.

Election is on its peak. Election  becomes a hot issue of gossiping. Under patriarchal , mobilizing other the opinions is very common. In election days; this is commonly observed .When I was in 4rth grade , election was on aired , my grandfather ordered everyone must vote your for Lion (PML-N) . And that time, I was a fan of Mr. khan because of his cricket achievement and  looks . Obviously I hate nobody was going to vote for him. But as time passes by, I realized, the importance of lamp (Chrag) now Bat (election symbol).  How useful he is for Pakistan.

What the thing that I really hate is Nawaz Sherf without any concern campaigning against Imran khan that he is Jew (when he married  Jemima). Even at that time, Khan was not much recognized in politics. He keeps blaming him .But Imran khan only focused on his career and hospital. Anyhow, this is what I heard when Imran khan had just entered in politics.

Now come back to election. May is on the calendar and 11^th may is not so far. Now it’s time to judge and clearly see; who actually fulfill the position of Prime minister. Prime minister should be honest, with free of corruption, pious etc.

Election is not a fun time. To go and just stamp whom your grandfather or father said it’s a time to think who is better. Is the roads and good buildings really meets our progress. Why we appreciate Ahmed e Nejad (prime minister of Iran) because of his simplicity and keenness towards his government.  Why shouldn’t we want these characteristics in our future prime minister? If government first priority is roads, buses and missile technology etc when he come to work for  MDGs (food,shelter,safe water etc). 

What should I do for this roads when I have to travel in Rickshaw, Tanga huh :@ . Moreover, have to pay, extra money for going home because of shortage of CNG. Flyovers are not my issue. My issue is when I finished my studies I got job to feed my family. And I got electricity without generator and got clean water without spending on Nestle bottles . That never ends. Before going to cast your vote just make sure your leader is honest free of naib cases .

Security will not his issue he come out of his house and stand with me in problems. Why would I get from this vote after winning the election my leader blocked roads for his feasibility.  He feels ashamed while sitting with me. I come out my house for his jalsa and casting vote without bothering of security. It is a passion of every person towards his leader.

But my leader puts barrier and glass-proof stage for his security so why should I vote for this leader. Why we are waiting for Eid and references for meeting him. Even special days for call. Here is some pictures of true leader who exists in this 2013. 

Palestinian Prime –minister Ismail Haneyeh’s palace  and  AhmedNijad's picture

In nutshell, this is crucial time that we are facing right now. Compromises are not appreciated here. Recharge your brain strings. And before going to vote see two sides of coins and pros and cons of every aspect. Because no one going to get you out in electricity, food ,unemployment. Moreover, no body going to defend your side abroad on behalf of you. What’s your leader and country is doing. Why your country is the victim of drone attacks? And when foreigner’s assaults you because of Pakistan. So think beyond the street, city and province.

“A politician thinks of the next election. A leader thinks of the next generation.” (Nelson Mandla )

Dear Life

I don’t want tears in my life. I had so many in past. Now I want to live happy…… I know no one is here for me when I suddenly wake up in the mid of a night .Because of the darkness and fear inside me …….please tears just go away from me……I don’t want you to let me down ; in front of those who feel  happy letting me down……I am alone but I know my Allah is always with me ……..Please Allah give me as much strength that I can  handle the hard tough harsh faces and attitudes …….please tears don’t become barrier in my success ..

Don’t abundant my inner soul.

Please I want to live my life as a happy person…

Please Allah help me …….  

Another Lux style Awards.

 Story that narrates common people eventually closer to heart. Hum TV is one of them. Hum TV began its transmission on January 17, 2005. Hum TV is renowned for its quality .Hum TV presents 24hr full entertainment that caters every unit of public. Every passing time Hum TV comes up with more maturity. And became a master after PTV. Here comes to the big channel award ceremony that was being held on 14th march 2013. Viewers voted online for their best artists.  Awards are a best way to appreciate one’s skills. Cherry on top; performances made this huge event.

The best thing of web is now you can see the event via live streaming. Although it is hard to find but its bash at a same time. Many bloggers and journalists postmortem the event.  Now it’s timeworn to wait a long for seeing the event. This is paradigm shift in recent times. We completed our journey to instant milk to instant info. 

Anyways, talk about what is another Lux Style award ceremony. This is not the LSA in actual but it is depicting the picture of something like IFFA or OSCR awards ceremony. Why?

Before going to postmortem of HTA, let’s have look of Magnum ice cream launch party in which every guest wear Hollywood prom style dress or cocktail dress ‘cause it was mentioned in the card to wear desired dresses . Besides this Unilever event everyone sees in prom dresses whether you like it or not it becomes the fashion of web world.

Anyways Hum TV Awards ceremony is the best thing happen in private sector after music channel awards ceremonies. In other words we can say this was a star night. Here is the rough list of winners.

Hum TV Award winners list;

Best women’s wear designer; Nomi Ansari.

Best Menswear Designer; Deepak Perwani.

Best sitcom; The Mango people.

Best soap ;Mujey Roothney NA dena.

Best actors of soap; Imran Aslam and Sumbul Iqbal.

Lifetime achievement award; Mohin Akhtar .

Best new sensation; Shehryar Munawar and Sohai Aabro.

Best series; kitni Girhein Baaqi Hain

Best supporting actress; Samina Pirzada and Shagufta Ejaz.

Best supporting Actor;Mohib Mirza.

Best Drama: Shehr-e-Zaat

The whole scene is glamorous night was insisting people to recall LSTA to compare. Hum TV 1st awards ceremony is although the best way to entertain depressed public. And we must say Hum TV succeed in giving tough time to other’s.  All were looking stunning whatever conservative party says. They damn care about everything. All are coming in their style. The most important thing that I like most is finally there is someone who is rewarding people. And their hard work is paid off.  Uroosa Siddique, Fawad Khan & Mahira Khan, Shehryar Munawar and Sohai Aabro and many others. Many artists failed to step in PTV. After watching Hum TV awards we can conclude awards ceremony still happening in our country.

Critics said that awards ceremony should be moderate. Being a follower of common man prom dresses should be banned in award ceremonies. Besides this, public is confused this is not the first awards ceremony. This is may be 2nd awards ceremony. This is only women oriented show.

Sum up all above, awards is always a good boost to life of anyone. Give reward to entry or intermediated level. Gives tough competition to others. After Lux Style Awards ceremony and PTV awards it is good sign. Awards should be cater all public not only one strata. In the end, like always I insist to say there should be check and balance what is going on awards ceremony. Is they are truly represent us or they were those hypo –crates who showed resentment for Turkish drama’s .

My Lord!

My Lord!

                   We have surely sent apostles with clear signs and sent with them the book and the balance, so that man may stand by justice (Al-Hadid-25)

My lord! My throat goes dry but I wouldn’t stop raising my voice for truth. I will hold my voice against the brutality of enemies and insane behavior of our government. What’s wrong with me? Neither me or nor my clerics ever been involved in crime………how could you announce a death sentence without any offense. Where the head of government been living…I want nothing I just want security of me and my family.  I belong to a Muslim country and have been  usliving there after independence of Indo-Pak. I don’t want a separate state like Bengalis I just need my right of living there. My father and my brother all are giving their input in the development of our country. So why are we being killed because of my genocide. We are the citizens of Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s country. Followers of Allah and Prophet (P.B.U.H) (SALI ALA WAL E WASLAM). We always comes on road and sit behind the dead bodies of our relatives and think maybe this time we will  become the center of attention of government.

But every time our whining and yelling failed. We came back and our relatives buried dead bodies. We are living the life of uncertainty and dismay. We can’t go outside freely like we use to. We think might be this day or coming day anyone can hear our cry. But it doesn’t happen. And our intensity of fright gets increased by every passing day.

Don’t become a Pharaoh. And don’t forget I’m pledging to My Allah for justice. He is the best chief justice. Now I’m waiting for his reply. He will definitely tell us how has the justice occurred. Every one clearly remembered the end of Pharaoh along how King Nimrod died.

Hotel Transylvania (2012)

Hotel Transylvania (2012)

Director;  Genndy Tartakovsky

Writers: Peter Baynham (screenplay), Robert Smigel(screenplay)

Starring: Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Andy Samberg

I came across this movie via web surfing for watching a good piece. I have always admired light comedy plus animated movie. From quenching this thirst .I just clicked this movie for download. Now what is the thing that grab our attention is Dracula’s picture with his family . This story is about the Dracula and his little daughter Mavis. Despite his status of Dracula he feels afraid of human being. And that’s why he was trying to safe this only daughter from human world. This mystery would later unveil after the arrival of strange teenage boy in Dracula’s place. Hotel Transylvania is a place for hang out for the Dracula’s friends and other ghost members. Lots of funny characters make this movie an incredible comedy. Especially Frankenstein and Murray are most interesting lovable characters. Life was stagnant over there. But after the arrival of Jonathan (Teenage boy) their life was filled of non-stop laughs. And like that movie goes on. If you want some light comedy and want to break of your tiring routine then must go this movie. I will give this movie 5 stars;collectible .
