Our son Noor Ud Din is growing fast. Recently he has developed the habit of waking up in the morning and crying like hell. The idea is to wake everybody up and not let them sleep anymore. How dare anybody sleep while he is awake? Get up and go on about doing your things. I don't want to see you lying down. He seems to be telling us. When the home machinery has started and everybody is busy in their daily chores, he is at ease.
If I try to trace this, then I find this habit of his in my very dear Tahir Mammooo. Once he used to get up, he used to ensure that everybody is up as well. But he used to attack subtly by going to each and everyone and using straw poking into ears and/or continuous chitter chatter.
Where Noor Ud Din's style is to cry his lungs out.

Emergency 2007
Emergency has been put onto the Nation of Pakistan as on 3rd November 2007. The move is done for freeing the Judiciary from people who have a bit of integrity left in their bones. There are some people condemning Emergency and they are in majority and are quite loud. There are some people on Musharraf's side but they are generally silent. And there are some people who say, what the heck? Emergency has no affect on my life so what do I care.
Surely if you have enough money to take your dear ones to private rather than government hospitals where the number of patients is far greater than the number of beds then you don't need to care.
Surely if you have enough money to travel by car or taxi rather than travel in over crowded buses with space for just one hand and one foot, then you don't need to care.
Surely, if you have enough money to hire the services of the best lawyers to present your cases in the courts, where by the way you being right will not matter, then you don't need to care.
Surely, if you have enough references and links in the government to protect you from goons, land mafia, bhatta collectors etc, then you don't need to care.
Surely, if you have enough money to send your children to private schools, rather than government run schools where there is no furniture and no teachers, then you don't need to care.
Surley, if you have enough money to rent or own a house in that part of your city where there are no gangs and no gang wars and your children can play around in the neighbourhood happily and safely, then you don't need to care.
Surely, if you can ensure that such luxuries, as mentioned above, can be passed onto your children as well, then you don't need to care.
But as for me, I believe that the continuous mis-representation of the section of Pakistani society who wants to live the Islamic way of life, is going to give birth to further extremism and further deterioration.
I believe that now Lal Masjid, May 12 and Oct 18 carnages in Karachi will have no convictions and they would eventually become parts of dusty dossiers.
But it does not matter what anyone of us believe and how happy or sad we are with whatever is going on. I believe in the court which is much higher than the Supreme Court, where the Judge, Jury and Executioner is the same. In whose courts you cannot lie as the prime witnesses will be your hands, your eyes, your feet. In whose courts there can be no NROs and no deals. Where the poor will be equal to rich and powerful. For they are the heavenly courts of Maalik-e-Yaum-Deen (the Maalik of the day of the judgement). Over there cases such as Lal Masjid, May 12 and Oct 18 carnages will be disposed off in just a few seconds.
Sometimes I wonder that maybe Allah has allowed the killers to escape punishment in this world and have few more days in sunshine. For no court or ruler of the world can execute a punishment which equals their crime. The crime which is the brazen Massacre of Innocent People.
All of you, who do believe and do care, worry not, since that day is not far, when Justice will be done and truth will prevail.
