Tight security measures for 12th rabi ul awwal

Karachi City district government Dissolved...Administrators appointed

Four years four months and five days ago...on 18th October 2005 Syed Mustafa Kamal of MQM became the Nazim of karachi with Madame Nasreen Jalil as his Naib Nazim also from MQM. With the suport and blessing of his Leader Mr Altaf Hussain and the party ,Mustafa kamal did wonders to this largest yet mostly neglected port city.He started massive mega projects for the development of the city's infrastructure in the fields of communication ,water supply ,sewerage,and other social sectors.Mustafa kamal and his team worked day and nights to complete most of the started projects .The people of karachi who used to be stuck in traffic jams for hours now cannot stop praising mustafa kamal for his ingenious signal free corridors i,ii,iii and iv(under construction).
the energy and vibes that the youth of karachi has seen in this gentleman for the betterment and development of the city is totally unprecedented and inspiring.Even his political opponents, arch rivals and critics have to admit that there is no parallel to what he has done to this city in this short span of time....
So the question that comes to every citizen's mind today is why ?...why is he not the nazim of Karachi today ? why is his government dissolved ? why do we need the Administrator ? why was the elections for the local bodies not held before his termination..? Is this termination from office in any way justifiable in any democratic process...? Is it just to stop him from becoming a nazim of karachi again...? or Is it the American way of saying "Mr Mustafa Kamal, YOU ARE FIRED !"

Rabi ul Awwal:the month of blessings and celebration

Rabi ul Awwal the third Islamic month is the month of the birth of the prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him).Here in the part of of Karachi where I live the eid -i-milad is celebrated from the the first of rabi ul awwal to the 12th of this month and beyond...Mosques ,buildings, shops,streets and houses are Illuminated with colorful lights and green flags.Large gatherings are held both private and public to sing the praise of Allah (hamd) and praise of Prophet (naat).learned scholars give sermons and explains the life and teachings of the prophet mohammad (saw) .The private gatherings are usually held in the houses of rich and elders of the family...where all the family and friends and neighbors are invited best food is usually served which makes the event more festive.

Valentine's day:what's in it for me.....

The Happy St Valentine's day is here again for the sad and depressed people of karachi.....some are still in the mourning due to the recent bomb blast ,violence ,target killing and arson attacks....many have suffered million of rupees and damage to the properties and lost livelihood.but above all there is an uncertainty as to what worse might come their way....yet people and especially the young ones seems to be a little excited and their over protective parents and elders very suspicious of any or all the things they may or may not do....

For me there is nothing in the valentine's day because to celebrate a valentine's day in its full first of all I need to have a life....

legacy lives on....does it really...?

Today my yahoo home page has some very interesting thing going on....the Yahoo header is showing images of historic people for the series ..Celebrating Black History telling the history from the earliest days of slavery and slave trade to the more recent times and how well some black americans have done for themselves and that being black in america does not mean that you are a slave in anyway or a descendant of the slaves has to be a slave in the United States of America....
a little below on the same home page is the news of some American Baptists caught in earthquake stricken devastated Haiti trying to take away a group of 33 Haitian to America...its not yet clear if this was supposed to be an unauthorized rescue mission or just a simple present day example of the historic slave trade of the Americas...
