The Parthian King Gondophares following the Greek pattern, built the city with its main street in the middle st...

When she was born, she heard her father's sigh And tear drops fell from her mother's eye For she, the female had entered the world Into unwelcoming hands, she was hurled As a child, she was strictly told Some rules according to which she was to mould Walk slowly you must never run Talk softly, beware, never have any sun You are inferior you are weak You must obey, you must act meek You are an invalid without a man You must not ask why? This is life's plan And she believed all this was true Like a beast, kept in the zoo She thought she belonged to the cage The bars around her never aroused rage Her father, her brothers kept the keys To the chains which prevented her release While she lived on pretending to be happy and content Till one day from her home she was sent Years passed by, her hair became grey Set aside old woman, and just pray My grown sons told me, for I came in their way Listen to a woman? Why should they! Fo...

A jobless man applied for the position of "office boy" at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him, and then gave him the ability test: Clean the floor. The applicant did so. "You passed the test" the HR Manager said, “give me your e-mail address and I'll send you the application form to fill, as well as when you will start”. The man replied, “I don't have a computer or an email”. I'm sorry, said the HR manager, “if you don't have an email, means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist cannot have the job” The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only 10 US$ in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 Kg crate of tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes in a door-to-door round. In less than two hours, He succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home with 60 US$. The man realized that he can survive by this way, and started to go every day e...

He was sitting in his air-conditioned office in his safari suit, the office laced with perfectly designed furniture, state of the art technology and the walls decorated with wood and glasswork. His secretary was just a button away; his employees a call away and the helipad just a few meters away - with a chopper ready all the time to move him to any part of the country. He had it all what a young man could desire. He had built it all by himself in such a young age that had not only amazed the whole country but more importantly the corporate world. The trio of power, fame and money was in his firm grip. He had built his empire by working his heart off – like a machine - day and night. He had kept himself distant from the path of romance and feelings which in other case had always attracted the youth of his age. He had his set of principles, which he kept uncompromised in any case. In a young age, he had achieved emotional intelligence that had helped him control and manage ...

Stepping towards heaven we hear sound of large water falls through meadows, we see dense snorting clouds, snow clad Himalayas, charming and beautiful deodar woods, sun looking down through bulky snow mountains- both day and nights fighting for their existence. Come forward and see the “heaven on earth”. This heaven is my Kashmir, your Kashmir, our Kashmir. With over 222236 km square of area across the Himalayas, it is the valley of fairies. And in it we hear thousands of voices crying only one slogan, freedom. Indian army is violating human rights since 1947 but Kashmiri Muslims are still fighting for their freedom. Killing an innocent Kashmiri is part of their daily routine. No one talks about democracy when it comes to Kashmir. Rules made by the UNO, the human rights watch and all other similar organizations become deaf ears when it comes to Indian violation of human rights in the land Kashmir. Pakistani media seems no more interested in the cause, and continue to prom...

Over the years, Pakistan's inadequate education system has contributed to the present social, economical and political problems. Our leaders have failed to improve the sector which forms the base of any country's resource supply. Different measures taken in the past to improve our education system have ultimately failed because of their divergent nature. English-medium modern education system is stressed upon every now and then without considering the fact that it is within the reach of only a privileged few. Majority students belonging to middle-class and lower-class families are overlooked in this race of attaining the title of “Englishmedium educated”. These problems will continue to exist if adequate measures are not taken to eliminate them. Starting with the very first reform, a uniform widely acceptable curriculum should be adopted for both the public and the private sector institutions of the country. Relevant authorities should be directed to devise a ...
