اس پر انجینرنگ یونیورسٹی کے ہاسٹل کے وقت کا ایک مزاحیہ واقعہ یاد آرہا ہے. ہاسٹل کے چاروں کونوں میں طلبہ کے لئے غسل خانے اور بیت الخلاء موجود تھے لیکن ہر صبح طلبہ کی اکثریت ایک مخصوص کونے والے بیت الخلاء کے سامنے موجود ہوتے تھے. میں چونکہ نیا نیا تھا تو مجھے ماجرا سمجھ نہیں
آرہا تھا کہ آخرایسا کیوں ہے.میرا کمرہ ساتھ ہونے کی وجہ سے صبح صبح ہاسٹل کے تقریباً آدھے مکینوں سے ملاقات ہوجاتی تھی.

پھر ہاسٹل میں تزئین و آرائش و مرمت کا کام شروع ہوا. ہر کمرے میں رنگ و روغن ہورہا تھا، خراب پنکھوں ور بلبوں کو تبدیل کیا جارہا تھا. پھول اور پودھے لگاۓ گے.
اس مخصوص غسل خانے میں بھی رنگ و مرمت کا کام کیا گیا. پتہ نہیں ایسا کیا ہوا کہ طلبہ کا رش اسکے بعد کم پڑگیا. وہ جو صبح صبح اس غسل خانے اور بیت الخلاء کے استمعال کے لیے آتے تھے اور جگہ نہ ملنے پر باہر کھڑے ہو کر انتظار کرتے تھے اب وہ طلبہ اس طرف کا رخ ہی نہیں کرتے تھے.
خیر ایک دن وارڈن صاحب نے ہاسٹل کے تمام طلبہ کو جمع کیا اور ان کی راے جاننا چاہی کہ انکوکوئی شکایات تو نہی، کسی کے کمرے میں کوئی کمی تو نہیں رہ گئی. سب طلبہ ہاسٹل میں کیے گئے کام سے خوش تھے. لیکن ایک طالب علم کو اعتراض تھا.
اعتراض یہ تھا کا ہاسٹل میں ان چیزوں کو بھی تبدیل کیا گیا جو بلکل ٹھیک کام رہے تھے. پیسے کا بےجا تصرف کیا گیا.

وارڈن نے پوچھا کہ کس چیز کو تبدیل کیا گیا ہے جو ٹھیک کام کر رہی تھی؟
اس طالب علم نے کچھ ہچکچاہٹ کے بعد اس مخصوص غسل خانے کی طرف اشارہ کیا اور کہا کا وہاں پر جو بڑا ایکز ہاسٹ پنکھا لگا ہوا تھا وہ ٹھیک کام کار رہا تھا... صرف وہ شور زیادہ کرتا تھا. اسکا یہ کہنا تھا اورسارا مجمع ہنس پڑھا.
مجھے بھی سمجھ آگئی کہ اس ایک غسل خانے میں طلبہ کے رش کی وجہ وہ خراب ایکز ہاسٹ پنکھا تھا جو طلبه کے کارناموں پر اپنے شور سے پردہ ڈال دیتا تھا. اس خراب پنکھے کی ایک نئے پنکھے سے تبدیلی سے ظاہر ہے کہ کچھ طلبہ کے لئے مسائل پیدا ہوگئے.
نوٹ:
یہ سچا واقعہ ہے اور کوئی گھڑی ہوئی کہانی نہیں ہے. ایک دفعہ پہلے بھی یہاں سنا چکا ہوں -

ترقی پسند، جدیدیت و اصلاحات کے حامی لوگوں کی الیکشن ٹیکنالوجی کی مضحکہ خیزمخالفت پردوبارہ یاد آگیا.

Exactly 101 years ago in Nov 1920, the British govt issued a statement in Pashto in the then NWFP to explain the events that were taking place in Iraq at that time. They were trying to counter any anti-colonial campaign that might have resulted because of how they acted in Iraq.
In the statement itself, they mention that Naqib (Talib al-Naqib), who was exiled in Bombay, is being made minister in Iraq along with other 17-18 natives to form a temporary govt unless an agreement on permanent setup is achieved. They pleaded the case for Naqib by mentioning
that he is the descendant and rightful custodian of the shrine of Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jillani, a sufi saint venerated by the people of NWFP & in Afghanistan. A reference to his brother, Sheikh Affendi, known and respected in Pashtuns areas at the time, is also made therein.

A wailing daughter asked the occupying army abt why did they kill her civilian innocent father. The fascists only had evil laughter for an answer.

The Hindutva fascism in India, and specially in the occupied Kashmir is thriving on the "silence" of the world. #KashmiriLivesMatter
As much as I hate to say it but no one from the outside world, incl. claimants of the free world or from the Muslim world, is going to come to the liberation of these innocent people.

Doesn't look like an Arab, an Afghan, a Turk or a Pakistani will rise
anytime soon to fulfill his duty to help his brothers and sisters in humanity and in faith. Kashmiris have led the cause themselves for the last 7 decades, and will have to continue to stand up for themselves.

Rare & heart-warming!

Dr. Abdul Ghani returned from Britain to Punjab bringing with him a white lady, not his wife but his adopted mother.

Dr. Ghani reminded the elderly lady of her passed away son. She would wait in the street to see Ghani leave or return to his residence
1/2 ImageImage
A glimpse of him consoled the grieving mother. When Dr. Ghani came to know about this, he told her that he would visit her often and that she could accompany him to Punjab as well when he would return home. And that's exactly what happened. He brought her to his hometown.

2/2
Dr. Ghani also took her to Kabul with him where he served Afghanistan for decades. The lady died there and is also buried there in Kabul.

A kind man and great educationist. May Allah (SWT) bless Dr. Ghani's soul.

This is widely believed among Pashtuns that 'Damman' (musical entertainers and dancers) have always been non-Pashtuns who came from other places into Pashtun society, and adopted the local language and culture.

However, Pashtun culture and literature is rich in poetry, songs,
music and dances but Pashtuns in general have a dislike for those who adopt entertainment (singing, music, dancing, acting*) as a profession.
Things have changed today. Just a bit. There are many Pashtuns in the entertainment industry even from conservative & religious families.
I say a bit because these people face tough resistance and backlash from their families and society. Some have been excommunicated for stepping into the entertainment industry.
