A few hours without Wifi - Life less

 


We usually dont face this situation nowadays, but when we do , those moments become miserable! it feels as if you r alone on this planet and you dont even have a single friend. feels like you are cut off from the world outside. Feels like you will never see those people again. Feels like those precious moments on fb will never come back. Minutes seem like hours then. Then you just talk to yourself for sometime and lie on the bed, remember the old good memories. Its  literally hard to breathe under such circumstances ESPECIALLY when you are one loner like me! -__- 
But on the brighter side, you feel as if there is life outside that fb world. As if the real world and real life relations do exist. The time does not fly away and you get a chance to focus on yourself and think about who you are and what are your objectives of life and why the hell are you here in this world. You realize that your 'family' does exist and you have to give them time too.   
But inspite of these positive aspects, you just cant live without wifi no matter what !!! life is sure like HELL!!!

Raise your voice!

We are living in a country where i see only frustrated people. The frustration can be expressed in any form. There are several reasons of frustration...
And all this frustration among people is leading to a chaos in the country. We may not realize it but its a fact.
Reasons of frustration...
Well just look around yourself and concentrate on the people. What do you see? I see ANGER, ANXIETY and FRUSTRATION. But just wait a sec!
some people reading this will be like " yea man you see all that but we see that everything is just fine! " for such people,  facepalm..!
Who cannot see all this? But im quite sure we have the same feelings. Why wouldnt we!? Just look at the government. Look at the people in the administration. But are those people to blame? I DONT THINK SO.

  Are they the one who forced you to chose them? well yeah they did, but were you people stupid enough to believe what all those politicians said? YES YOU WERE!

  Now our young generation is a bit over-smart. They think they know better. So they chose their leader, Imran Khan. How stupid.
 
  Now the question arises, is Imran Khan better than others? well most people say yes, most people say no.
The reason behind yes is that they believe he is an honest man ( PTTF) , the reason behind no is that people believe he is not a mature politician.
But i say, time will tell. You cannot be so sure about anyone. Not even yourself! And about these politicians, if they all werent corrupt and liars they would have been doctors , engineers or doing a reasonable job somewhere.
  ( not saying that doctors and engineers arent corrupt , they are too. )
   Well leaving that debate on the politicians, i'll come to the point. We are the one behind all this , behind all this mess. The problem is not in the government, but its inside us.
 
   When a baby is born, from that time onwards, his parents , teachers and family members train him to BE POSITIVE. They teach him all the good things. They tell him to be honest , to be generous and all that we all came across . But where does all that go when we are grownups?  Yes it vanishes. All those good things, dont even exist in practical life. Well we cant say they dont, there are good people out there but most of them are just faking that out. Its a mask we are wearing because we cant dare to see our real faces.
  Ive come across teachers who are full of this crap. Who pose to be nice and honest and later on you come to know about them and you are like, WTH man, is this what you taught us to be?  And then everything goes wrong. The people whom we considered to be our ideal are full of crap themselves.
THIS IS THE POINT where an individual gets frustrated. By knowing that the world is full of fake people. People who only see their personal benefits.
  This is only a small reason to be frustrated. Let me get to the biggest reasons of frustration in our country.
Reason No 1- No electricity
Reason No 2- No Gas
Reason No 3- No water
Reason No 4- poor economy
Reason No 5- Expensive food items
Reason No 6 No jobs
AND YET we have branded shops. Our woman need to buy the most expensive clothes and jewellary BECAUSE they need to look beautiful :)
Its like wearing a pretty dress and standing in a cottage with leaked-roof.
We want to raise OUR standards, but not our countries standard.

And i forgot to mention one major reason. "Terrorism"
We dont even know we are gonna come back home or not . Our life is so uncertain nowadays. We are killing eachother on religious or cast issues. How ridiculous? Out there we are a JOKE. Just beacause of some stupid religious people . Some stupid non-sense jokers who consider themselves powerful.
  And what about our religion?
Are we really true muslims? Is being born a muslim enough? Is being called a muslim enough? Having a beard and wearing a hijab makes you a complete muslim? We try to convince ourselves by doing all this and this somehow gives us a little satisfaction. But ask yourself honestly, are you really the followers of Prophet Muhammad ( S.A.W.) ? No we are not and we do not need to look at anything deep, we can realize this by going to some market i  lahore or karachi and see the dressing of women. We can go to the resturaunts and see couples dating. And we call this OPEN-MINDEDNESS. No wonder all these earthquakes and floods destroy our land. Well sorry to say pals, this is just a shame-less society we are living in and we are doing sins openly and again trying to convince ourselves thaf this is a modern society. We can atleast know our limits , limits and boundries of islam by studying our religion.  Well just tell me one thing, if this is really a modern society, are the teachings of islam old? Are you waiting for some new edition of Quran? No? Then why are you doing all these sins?  THINK ABOUT IT. 
   After knowing all this, people still have hope. Thats a great sign actually. I appreciate those people who have hope that our country will progress and be a successful state. But how long will that hope last? Is it just that hope which is letting us move on? Thats what you have to figure out.
  I think its about time we realize that where are we going, what have we become. Try to improve ourselves first rather than just criticizing the government and other people. Just realize that we are muslims! And show unity and show the world that we are the best people out there! And prove everyone wrong!
   Things have gone too far, maybe way beyond our reach but its never too late for ANYTHING! It is time to raise your voice and bring a positive change!

Students Welfare Association


Hey guys , hope you are doing good :) 
i am just gonna write about this welfare organization i started , named Students Welfare Association... Its a charity based organization and me and my friends have just started recently and are working on it as much as we can :)
  
The idea...

As being students; we spend our time in various activities just to keep ourselves entertained. We do all this just to be happy, well thats what humans want, HAPPINESS! But at this point most of us become selfish and focus only on our happiness . We don't look around and notice the gloomy people. Why? Is it too difficult? or are we really that selfish?
  I personally gave a thought to it. Its just that we 'think' we are too busy in our life that we don't have time to think about any of this! But go on ask yourself this question ; are you really that busy? well obviously i know you arent. and you know that too . We always give things different priorities and thats when things like these get ignored .
  So instead of wasting my time on various other activities , i thought why not put your efforts to some use. Why not do something which can benefit people in a positive way... so i thought of helping out people. And that is when the idea of a welfare project came into my mind. And how could i ignore those people who hide their feelings behind that fake smile? Those people who dont even ask for your help and suffer on their own, either financially or in some-other way.
   So this is when i took the initiative of Students welfare Association. 
   I shared this idea with my friends and family and they all appreciated it.
Well lots of people did. But starting this was the BIGGEST problem we faced. some people always have to discourage you sometimes by saying all the negative things, like you cant do this on your own , and its not that easy and all that. Well who doesnt kno its not that easy eh? Does it mean we shouldn't do anything?
  But i thanks all those people who stood by me and gave me the courage to take this initiative! One person who ill like to thank the most is Mr Zia Ul Haq.  This guy was like sitting with me in a room, and i told him about this idea and he was like come-on lets go get donations right away hahaha. He was so enthusiastic!  And people have to be like this if they have to run some kind of organization . And thanks to my group fellows ( Electrolytes ) who helped me in this and were  there to support me like always!

What are our aims...

well as the name indicates, it is related to the welfare of students but that doesn't mean it is only concerned with the students. we aim to help out the needy people regardless of who they are. But yes our first priority are the deserving students.
  Normally when we say that we aim to help the needy students , people take it casually. like yeah yeah ok we know they are deserving and we will help them ' SOMEDAY ' . actually they are just ignoring this . such people will encourage you . by commenting on your posts and liking all the stuff BUT when it comes to the practical work, they are just empty. And there are those people with whom you chat. you tell em all about this and then they sat  " great work pal just love it " and all that, but again, when ur doing something practical. they are gone. Actually such people are only cheating themselves. 
  And there are people who dont even ask anything and they just hear the word donation and Volla, they give it to you BECAUSE they know its for a good cause, no , actually a GREAT  cause.
let me share some verses of the Holy Quran :
 -Quran: Surah # 2, Ayat (ayah) # 43 
(represented as 002.043)

-And be steadfast in prayer; practise regular charity; and bow down your heads with those who bow down (in worship).

-And remember We took a covenant from the Children of Israel (to this effect): Worship none but Allah; treat with kindness your parents and kindred, and orphans and those in need; speak fair to the people; be steadfast in prayer; and practise regular charity. Then did ye turn back, except a few among you, and ye backslide (even now).

-They ask thee what they should spend (In charity). Say: Whatever ye spend that is good, is for parents and kindred and orphans and those in want and for wayfarers. And whatever ye do that is good, -Allah knoweth it well.
-And whatever ye spend in charity or devotion, be sure Allah knows it all. But the wrong-doers have no helpers

-If ye disclose (acts of) charity, even so it is well, but if ye conceal them, and make them reach those (really) in need, that is best for you: It will remove from you some of your (stains of) evil. And Allah is well acquainted with what ye do. 

-Those who (in charity) spend of their goods by night and by day, in secret and in public, have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. 


-Amongst them are men who made a covenant with Allah, that if He bestowed on them of His bounty, they would give (largely) in charity, and be truly amongst those who are righteous



(37) 

-Who are active in deeds of charity


 Well as you can see that " charity " is not something we should be ignoring .We should be happy to help others and feel proud to be the one doing it .
