Robber Or The Watchman

Assalam alaikum, Readers! Ma you have sense of true identification of human beings:

I heard Chanda murmuring the words"WHO KNEW IT WAS WATCHMAN, NOT THIEF, WHO BROKE IN"....! and I was confused a bit but she took a deep breath and continued:
See my friend I observed, judged and learned far a head of my mother, in a very young age but since my mother was not educated and use to live inside the walls of a house whether of her father or my father's house but that was the reason she couldn't understood what I did. I warned her not to leave the house and compromise with her in laws on reasonable terms but she resisted and wanted to save our father's legacy for our future. And you know she couldn't save herself. That day when we were sent to our schools she fell a prey to my uncle's incest in daylight with open doors. They say it was a lesson to her pride she had being adored wife of their brother. She lived like a queen in the family in her husband's life and the other women of family use to taunt their husbands for this.

That day, afterwards, I never could cross our building's gate. We became prisoners in our own house and my mother was forced, later on, to marry the same uncle to keep all legacy SAFE. One day at the age of only 16, I was married to our servant's son who used to be our driver keeping the observation that being daughter of a rapped mother would not get better option than this and more appropriately saying the legacy would again be in safe hands of my uncle/step father. That guy took me to his village in a very backward area where I was treated as a bad omen for the other girls of the village. That beast treated me like a toy and within no time I was on family way. I was a delicate girl but that time I was like bleeding all over, my soul was hurt, my beautiful body was crushed like marble under the stone. I was all ruined , my dreams, my present, future and my whole life. 

It seemed as if I could bear no more but one day I woke up with a new courage, a new strength when I received message from my mother through a childhood friend who apparently came to visit me. She gave me mama's voice recording which told me that Uncle wants me to appear in court for some letter of attorney for property etc and that I would not favour him at any cost rather I should seek legal help and cover from court. Mama requested be to take care of my younger brothers and sister as she herself was being slow poisoned by a family nurse. This news charged me at 440 and I gathered myself up. Soon after this uncle came along with his wife and a married son who told me that if I did what they want, his son would take me to his house and keep me as his queen, but as a concubine not a wife. I would remain this driver's wife in papers. What else could be more humiliating for me but I stayed calm and decided in my heart of hearts what mama told me to do. 

After two days I was in the court before a magistrate along with my husband. Mama also came who appeared to be a TB patient, pale weak and trembling either with ailment or with fear. Her weak appearance made me more strong and I became a wounded tigress. I knew about the law of marriage age and I was a minor according to that law and my guardian in that marriage was my step father. I decided to play full toss for once, out or six whatever but I might not get another chance....Chanda stopped for a while and took a deep breath...!

ABUSE??? part 1

Assalamalaikum,(may peace be upon all of you), readers! May you all have clear understanding of a fine line between Honour and Abuse: For last many days I was trying to gather courage to write on the issue I'm beginning to write and it has been a frustrating struggle to make others and even myself understand about the fine line between Honour and Abuse. Isn't it quite strange but familiar for you to read this if you had ever been either victim or the witness of such any situation whether to keep yourself benefitted or any of your close relation?  Today I dedicate my write up to the barbarous incident of Qasoor, to the victim of vicious Activity of a man unknown, apparently. I feel sorry to use the word Activity but because it's the 6th recorded case of the same DNA and the concerned authorities are busy in regulating their calculators and other counting gadgets to maintain the record of successful attempts and activities of the culprit. Dear readers, it's...

SMOG- environmental or Health Issue

Assalam Alaikum Readers. May you all be blessed with good health and clean environment. A mist turns into a fog when the visibility is limited, less than one kilometer. Fog is formed because of various causes thus there are distinctive sorts of fog, one created by cooling and the other by evaporation. Fogs can be shaped by radiations, shift in weather conditions, movement of air up-slope, or as a result of blending of two distinct sorts of air masses. A fog debased by modern poisons, a blend of smoke and fog. Today, it is the normal term connected to problematical, to a great extent urban, air contamination with or without the normal fog, notwithstanding, some obvious indication is quite often inferred. The word smog portrayed stale, contamination loaded with air masses. Smog is delivered as vehicle depletes develop when climate conditions create dormant air masses that don't enable debilitates to dispense. Subsequently, autos are the fundamental reason for exhaust cloud. Nit...

SMOG- part 2

Assalamalaikum, Readers! May you have healthy clean environment with healthy and clean habits: Before I begin with this important and much discussed but yet ignored topic, SMOG, I would like to share some of my observations, those bearing reservations too. Few days back, I had a chance to visit PWD in search of some writing material for my research article on pollution Vs public behaviour towards environmental issues. On my way back I just started to roam around to see the new developed commercial plazas and residential buildings. There was a big vacant area at the back of PWD main commercial cum residential area. That area has now been taken over by Pakistan Town society authority, which is run by IB. This vicinity is now known as Pakistan Town phase 2 and it has become a congested residential vicinity/ township. Dear readers, to my surprise rather shock, in the midst of this congested residential area there is a huge plaza constructed, obviously for commercial purpose compri...
