The uselessness of everything

I have not been writing for a few weeks, partly due to Eid which partly due to the fact that i have net been in the mood to write at all for a long time. I dont know why but i felt the helplessness of everything was getting to me. I have been thinking a lot about a lot of stuff. Life and the reason for being. The reason that i could not focus on the things that i wanted to focus on , my work and the things that are important to me. My writing must be looking like a lost mans ramblings to anyone who may be reading it but a dont give a rats ass about how other people feel. Yes i dont. You want to know why? cuz in this world that is the way to live and that is the way to be successful in life. Will be writing on success later!

Blind Painter

Seems that nowadays all i am doing is posting youtube videos on the page! But what can i do this is worth sharing to whoever is coming on the page! This has made me thinking that the human potential that is there inside the body is amazing! Agreed that not everyone has the natural intellect to paint or rather be good at it. The thing that i understand here is that everything that we do is related to the will of the person. Whatever we want to do we need to have the will to do it it does not matter on our intellect or education. I have come across so many ting in the recent past that have shown me how much i have and how much i am wasting.My life is nothing, i have achieved nothing compared to this guy. What ever i become i waill always feel that i have not lived up to my true potential, i have not done what i could have done and achieved.I want to try harder!

One Bad Corvette

Havent been writing much on the blog these days cuz of the busy schedule cuz of work and Ramadan. I came across this today and i was really impressed by the car but more than that what impressed me was who had built the car. These engineers were working ofr P ang G and they had explored their passion for cars and turned it into a reality. They are the people that we should look up to. Why? Because they have the passion to pursue their dreams, we as Pakistanis lack that passion now to work for what we want. Everyone is looking for the easy way out of things. Which is wrong and which has cause they Pakistani society to decay and crumble into the ashes of their past glory. We are living in the past and not seeing the future shape up against us!

Why do Atheists care about Religion?

Interesting to note how the people can speak a lot of things by not saying the things that we think. I being Muslim cannot say that i exactly agree with the concept of God not being there, however i feel that the people should have a right to live the way they want to live, dosent matter which religion they belong to or do not belong to. In this time , day and age when the tolerance between people of differing faiths is at a low i am not surprised that the tolerance of the people without any religion is also challenged. The only problem that i can feel here is that the comments that people have made about other religions are not good and due to this sometimes they come in the midst of to religions fighting for supremacy among themselves!

Driving in Ramdan

I have always been wary of driving in Ramadan. I don't know where the concept of road rage came from first but Pakistanis are probably the country where this concept is practiced in advanced stages. From the novice driver to the most experienced all engage in the intricacies of implementing road rage in their driving. The average joe cannot figure to control his nerves in the midst of such an onslaught and usually does not drive during rush hour or hires someone else to do it for him.
During Ramadan this concept of road rage is taken to its utmost limits. Bloodshot eyes, frothy mouth, fists waving, sweaty and swearing are the classical symptoms or rather the identification marks of an average driver engaging in road rage.
They will cut in front of you, honk you from behind, change lanes from the wrong end and brake suddenly in front of you, but that is all understood when you start your engines you are entering a race track where there are no rules and no risks too small!
Get set jet go!!!

Youtube

I have always been a regular visitor of you tube since i don't know how long, i go there because i know that i will find something or the other that will make me smile or laugh if only for a moment. But recently i have been observing that the amount of videos related to porn or nudity have been increasing at a very fast rate. I wonder why this is? I recently came across a documentry made by BBC "Teens hooked on Porn". It was depressing to say the least. Viewing pornographic content is now being treated by doctors like a disease. They prescribe medication for it and the patient has to be monitored at all costs. Now, taking this is the fact in many western and European countries we cant be ignorant of the fact that this is deeply rooted in our society as well. Rainbow center is famous not only for selling cheap pirated DVDs but it is also the hub of selling porn to people of all ages. In Pakistan we may treat this subject as a taboo but we cant be ignorant of the fact that this is there in the society and its evils are being seen spreading. The number of molestations and rapes are increasing day by day and these pornographic content are feeding the imagination of the evildoers.
My point here is that rather than treating this as a taboo subject and letting the kids find out about it from dubious sources why not inform them of the dangers and the problems associated with this, feed them intellectually what they should know about the problems so that they dont have to turn to any other source for the information that they would naturally seek once they are of a certain age? Warn them of the spiritual aspect as well as the religious aspect of the subject and then have control over their information flow.
