It was a lazy morning today and
again I did the error of surfing the channels, while some channels were at
least recognizing that today is Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s birth
anniversary, there was one channel who was debating whether faith healing can
help a wife controls her husband!
Unlike my previous blog about morning shows and their idiosyncrasies, I am here to stress and remind us all Pakistanis
who we were and wanted to pay homage to the great man who formed this great
country Pakistan. I was recently hurt and bewildered of the mind numbing herd
like attitude and the rat race for money which has consumed my contemporaries.
People around me have a simple
way now: study (without realizing the fact that very few in our country can get
this great privilege), go abroad, earn and die. Whenever one asks them that why
do they want to go abroad, they have one explanation: Pakistan is in a state of
turmoil and we have no future here. My heart breaks to see these people and the
way they have ignored and forgotten the sacrifices by the millions of people
who made for this great country and the great struggle of Quaid e Azam Muhammad
Ali Jinnah.
We are all lost in the humdrum
and get fascinated by the bright and fuzzy world of the emerging market
economies (such as Middle Eastern countries). What we fail to understand is
that every day lost in bickering and complaining about Pakistan is a day we lag
behind.
Recently, the world paid tribute
to the great Nelson Mandela on his funeral and the South African people made sure that the
world knows and realizes the greatness of their great leader Nelson Mandela. But sadly in Pakistan, we have forgotten this great
man and the message he brought.
For all of you, who are enjoying
comfortable lives, I call to your soul and ask you one simple question: “Won’t
it be worth it that your life can matter more if you start thinking beyond your
desires?”
The answer lies in your soul, I
hope and pray you wake up. We at Pi Studio will continue our efforts to make
sure that we try to stir up your soul and see our nation prosper.
Let us all remember the great man who taught us that people of all religions should co-exist in harmony in Pakistan, with his following quote:
“You are free; you are free to go to your temples. You are free to go to your mosques or to any other places of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion, caste or creed—that has nothing to do with the business of the State.”
― Muhammad Ali Jinnah
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND PAKISTAN PAINDABAD!
