Faisal Subzwari

Faisal Subzwari and IOJ Team


I met Faisal Subzwari , Minister Youth Affairs , who is associated with the third largest political party of Pakistan MQM , earlier November 2011. I got an opportunity to invite Mr.Faisal Subzwari as a chief guest in National Youth Fiesta 2011. I got this opportunity because of my friend Marium Ismail , Anchor GEO TV. This help is indeed unforgettable. On my telephonic conversation with Faisal bhai we had been in touch via blackberry as we both found it a convenient way of communication. During our conversation via BBM I shared an idea of Institute of Journalism with him . He found it a good idea and quoted “Our journalists need to be institutionalized.” Such replies are always motivational as it shows the support of one person towards you and your idea.

After National Youth Fiesta me , faisal bhai and marium planned a dinner meeting where we can further discuss the idea of Institute of Journalism and how to take the project along. We drew a conclusion that we are more focused towards the youth of Pakistan and will train them related to journalism and media studies so we should get Institute of Journalism recognized by Ministry of Youth Affairs SIndh. It was indeed a very productive meeting. This meeting allowed me to take one step ahead and get the institution recognized. IOJ signed an MoU with Ministry of Youth Affairs Sindh on Dec 08 , 2011 at Karachi Arts Council. A good number of media channel and news papers covered the event.

I always use to share the progress , updates and news related to IOJ with Faisal bhai and a nice reply of just a smiley face (J) indicates me that the progress has been liked by him . The support of Faisal bhai and the sincerity of Ministry of Youth Affairs with IOJ always allow IOJ to flourish. As a result of this support we organized our first Workshop on “News Anchoring and Reporting”. 35 participants attended the workshop. The certificates were signed by Director Youth affairs and presented by Mr.Faisal Subzwari, Minister Youth Affairs.

I witnessed Faisal bhai v. helpful and Down to earth not only with me but also with all the youth of Pakistan he ever interacted with. It might because he experienced the interaction with the people of all ages as being the Chairman of All Pakistan Mahajir Student Organization (APMSO) and then the Head of Communications of his own party and then the minister. Such progress and profile helped him in knowing the real problems of the youth. He indeed has very productive solutions for each problem.

May God bless Him.

5 minute with Fatima suriya bajiya

5 minute with the legend. 5 minutes of my life gives me a memory for my life time

In the book launching ceremony of “FASANA RAQAM KAREN” written by Mujahid Barelvi, I had an opportunity to have a glimpse of Fatima Suriya bajiya. She is among those 5 personalities of the world whom I want to meet in my life.

When I saw her, I really wanted to go at once and meet her and do some chit chat with her on journalism and on urdu language. But as she is the legend so I cant find any way out at that moment to go and meet her. So I just sat quietly and enjoyed the rest of the event.

There were several great speakers in the event who portrayed the writer in different ways. Thing to remember that my target is still Ms.Fatima Suriya. What to do! How to go and meet her? Several great personalities are with her would she like to meet me or not?

These were the question coming out from my mind. But, then I said to me that she is the whom you want to meet , so get up and go to her. But, still I remain on my seat.


As soon as host announced the closing of the event I went to the author and get the autographed copy of FASAN RAQAM KAREN. After getting an autograph from him , I saw Ms.Bajiya sitting alone and there was no one around him. Huh! What a great chance for me it was. Just think for a minute if the person whom you want to meet in your life . sitting in front of you , idle, and jus for a walk of 0.01 mili second. Wont it be a great feeling?

(We had a conversation in urdu ..m translating it in English)
I just at once go to her and say Assalmo Alikum.
She replied: Mashallah
She: Whats your name?
Me: Nauman Adil
Me: Its my pleasure to meet you.
She: What do u do?
Me: I am the student of MBA, just started writing on Economic affairs of the country
She: May God bless You.
Me: (DIRECTLY) Don’t you think people in the country these days are not giving respect to URDU language
She: Yes, I agree, But after attending such gatherings I feel like our nation still respect urdu.
Me: I am talking about the young generation
She: Yes, they are not respecting. I pity on them. But , on the other hand Nauman (she remembers my name) they are not properly awared about our language now. In their school days they have been ask to emphasized on western language rather than to make their focus on Urdu Language. But those who start focusing properly on urdu language, read urdu poetry, try to understand those poetry ….(BREAK) ..still respects our language and they are the pride for the language.
Me: hmmm (that’s my style whenever m agreed with something)
She: For which news paper you writes for
Me: I just start writing and writes for The financial Daily
She: Transmit your knowledge to youngsters too, to keep the wheel rolling
Me: Thank You
She; May god bless you
Me: may I have a photograph wid u
She: Is this a thing to ask with me? You are a good boy.
Me: 

And then I had a photograph with her. When I say Khuda Hafiz to her she replied with a great smile on her face and said Khush Raho

This is a memorable day of my life and I met a lady whom I want to meet in my life.

May god bless her with all the happness in life and may God give long life to Ms.Bajiya

270710 A Rainy Day

Nauman Adil


Huh! What a rainy day. The rain starts on the eve of 26th july 2010 and have a break in the noon of 27th July. In the eve of 26th I was returning from my university when the rain starts. It started up with drizzling but it was soon followed by the heavy rainfall in jus 10 minutes. What to do? What not to do?How to do that what we wanted to do? These were the several questions coming up in our mind as we were in a car and the wipers attached in the car were not in a working condition. We switched off the chiller of the car and decided to open up the windows.

We reached in the area of 13-d by this time. As soon as I opened up the window the heavy rainfall didn’t took a second to make us wet. The street children were diving in the water and try to swim in that water. They look so happy and cheerful and enjoying the heavy rain in the city after the long time. These were the moments of which they waited for the year long.




As we move further I witness around 70 bikes standing by the foothpath along with the bike riders ,who were waiting for the rain to stop so they can move forward towards their home. Those bike riders were standing keeping their one hand their bikes and other hand on their waist. They were also engage themselves in packing up their wallets and cell phones into the plastic paper bags so there valubales won’t get affected.

Moving towards the area of Block-2 Gulshan-e-Iqbal there was a crowd of people standing outside the bakery waiting to purchase some Pakoras , Samosas, Jalebi for themselves and their family. People use to buy these things more in rainy season . So at around 7 ‘o clock crowd was buying the tea items.

Oh! What is this? Asked by my driver, Sarwar. What sarwar? I replied. It seems like Isha prayer time now at 7:10.Even then the people waiting for Maghrib Prayers. The sky has been taken over by the dark black clouds. A dark black clouds and a heavy rainfall create a lot of difficulty for the driver to drive a car that is without the wipers. I use to cheer up the driver by putting the cassette in the player so then he will be in better mood for the rest of the drive.



I forget to mention my dressing at that time. I was in a dress shirt with a Suit pant and having a tie on my shirt. As I had been from a formal session from my university. So my dressing was much inappropriate at that time according to the situation. And I was jealous by the children playing in the water in half clothes. But , I can’t do anything rather than just to observe them and then pen down those observations.

After crossing the pull of Gulshan chowrangi , we moved straight towards the disco bakery Gulshan as I live there. An unbelievable crowd had been witnessed by me at this area . The people were sitting in their vehicles waiting for their food orders to be delivered there from the local food outlets of Rolls, GolGappay, Shakes, Faluda etc.

After such a long trip of 1 hour and 30 min I stepped into my home having wet clothes and dirty boots and having a coat in my hand. It was a tiring but one of the adventurous trip and I thanked to GOD that I didn’t stuck in any traffic jams otherwise I am sure that my this trip would easily be then of 5 to 6 hours.

Usually the karachittes celebrates the rainy day by exercising such kind of activites . And I am sure that in other part of Karachi people were having same kind of routine on 26th and 27th. What a day!

Happy Rainy day

ISLAMIC ECONOMIC SYSTEM





The system that have been introduced after the thorough research of several scholars and is purely based on the rationality and also justify the Shariah concept that has been given by Islam. A question comes in the mind regarding the authenticity of this Economic system as this has not been stated neither in Holy Quran nor in Sunnah. Likewise, there was also no authenticity of Hazrat Muhammad (P.B.U.H) when he left to spread the Islam in MACCA. It was the rationality and believe that help the people to identify the messenger of Allah and also indentified them that P.B.U.H came here to preach the teaching of Islam. Islamic economic system based on three systems: Theory(Quran Sharif) , Interpretation (Hadith) , Practical (Shariah)

Islamic Economics based on certain concepts. Firstly, “ Resources are unlimited and Human efforts are limited ”. Air , water , minerals , hills they are all unlimited and now it is the responsibility of the humanity that how much he can avail these resources through his efforts and knowledge. Therefore it prohibits the Wastage of Resources.

Secondly, Savings, i.e. hoarding of money, is strictly prohibited by Islam. All wealth belongs to Almighty Allah and Man is the trustee of the wealth. Money should be circulated into the economics system for multiplication through justifiable and clean means. Islamic economic system identifies the process of circulation of money as it should be multiplied first through investment, then subtract the cost of investment & need, then divide it for the social causes, and add(invest) the remaining amount into circulation again.

Thirdly, Saving that leads to investment is the identification of a healthy nation. As when the savings has been invested it is benefited to the industries and then industries increased their production which increases the profitability of the industries which finally give rise to the employment which decreases the inflation rate in the economic system as Inflation is the burden on an economy.

Islamic Economic System clearly rejects the concept that are against the DEEN (ISLAM) . Firstly, Riba , i.e. earning on money through unjustifiable mean.It has been identified as a crime in Islamic Economic System. As Riba harms the humanity and it give rise to many other crimes like ,Bribery. Human are the creature of Almighty Allah and anything that effects humanity is prohibited by Islam.

Secondly, Interest is not permissible. Interest is Price of money and trading of money is not allowed by ISLAM. Therefore, Interest is defined in Islamic Economic system as shirk, and shirk is forbidden(sin) , and sin is unforgivable in Islam. As it has been generated artificially without been circulated in economic system which give rise to the Inflation in the economic system.

But, Profit that has been termed as RIB i.e. clean profit , is permissible by Islam .Any reasonable amount of money that has been earned through the circulation of money into the economic system by justifiable mean is termed as profit. As the multiplication of money is encouraged by islam as it leads to the betterment of the man kind so this clearly defines that a reasonable profit is allowed. An unreasonable profit eventually leads to Riba i.e.forbidden

Islamic Economics System has not been introduced for the Islamic countries only but it has been introduced for the economic system that believe in Clean profit and save themselves from Sins and Evil acts. Though the Islamic Economic system has not been followed properly by any country but many countries are now start adopting the system as their main economic system ,mostly Islamic countries.

TELENOR--KARO MUMKIN



Education is the most important factor for the progress of any nation. If we provide good and standard education than we can produce Good sports men, Good enterprenuer, Good journalists , Good Agriculturalsit, Good Scientist etc.

Now the question is how to give education and to whom it should be given?

In the Urban areas theres is no need for any investment in any sector as they are already well equipped Financiall and morally both. The place like Swat, Malakand , Bagh, Azad kashmir and places like this should have a good education system.

The citizen Fondation (TCF) is working hard to promote the education in the country and establishing educational institutions all around the country.

FUNDS:

Fund raising is the main problem when any initiative is taken. Telethon is the reasonable way to raise the funds. This can be done with the collaboration with TCF so that strict survillence and check can be maintain in those education institutions.

TELETHON:

Telethon can be done with the help of any electronic media dat is involved in CSR activities (SAMAA , CNBC, GEO) and funds can be raised.

I can send u the proper format of how it is conducted and how it can be carried out on demand.

Intorduce a scheme ADOPT A CHILD .

Rs. 833/- per month on per student are the expenses that has been calculated by TCF . Which are approx 10,000/- a year on one student. Telenor can Introudce a scheme through which a person can adopt a child for their education of one year.

ADOPT A CHILD:

A telenor customer should recharge their account with the respective amount of donation and adopt a child. A telenor will thn use the money in the respective child FEES.

WHY TCF:

TCF is the renowned NGO working for the education in pakistan.. So people are having more faith on TCF thn TELENOR . so an element of trust will also be involved in this scheme and people will den be more willing to donate

AND IN THIS WAY WE CAN SEE PAKISTAN ON TOP OF THE WORLD.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Unjustice still prevails

Editor,
The budget of Sindh that has been presented by the CM SINDH Qaim Ali Shah on Friday evening sounds to be a good budget, but only for the people connected with the profession of Police or Government employement . But the unjustice that is prevailing in our country since 62 years still prevails.

Firstly, a fund has been formulated with the name of Lyari development fund is a new of its kind. No fund has been made like this in previous government budgets. In other words, you can say that this amount has been provided to the supporters of the present Government i.e. Lyari

Secondly, the development fund for Kemari has also been allocated in the budget. Again this amount is allocated for the area that consists a great number of present government supporters .

Thirdly, the budget allocated to Larkana exceeds to the budget of Hyderabad. Though more development is needed in Hyderabad than Larkana. Again larkana is the headquarters of the current government .

It can clearly been seen that new funds have been allocated for the urban areas as the great number of the supporters of present government prevails in these areas ,whereas, in the rural areas there is a shortfall of the resepective supproters

Though Karachi is also given a large amount of fund and I am very thankful to the Chief Minister for this kind act. But I want to draw the attention of the respective authorities and the MPA’s of Sindh to kindly consider the facts and then allocate the budget to the areas where the development is more important and the state/province can be benefited by this development. Budget deficit to some extent is a good thing for the growing economy as it shows the development in the country whereas Budget surplus depicts that other way round.

DIVIDE THE FUND ON MERIT BASIS RATHER THAN TO BE BIASED..PLEASE!!
