Can we be human’s atleast.

We, as a nation are passing through one of the worst phases of our lives, a great area of land has been destroyed by flood, people are forced to live on roads and open grounds without any sort of roofs, they have nothing to eat, they don’t what to do and where to go, the largest populated province of our country is trying to fight its way through dengue fever, there are no places in hospitals now ,people are dying everyday, but this is what we all know, I would just like to share how nations react to these catastrophes, how they emerge out thorough these mishaps and bad times.

We all know Japan was stuck by tsunami sometimes back. But how they faced it as a nation, their electricity system, traffic system economy, food markets everything has come to a halt, but people saw that at 12 midnight when all shops were closed and traffic was badly jammed, an old lady hadn’t closed her bakery and she was distributing rusks and biscuits to the people stuck in traffic jam free of cost. In residential areas people were holding play cards which says that if you are stuck in traffic jam, you can use our washrooms if you need it. In supermarkets people were only buying things which they really need so that everyone can have what they want

Someone told me that in a train a kid thanked the ticket collector that you are running your train services in these very difficult times. Everyone was trying to help someone and wanted to play his part. Companies lowered the rates of their products; food companies gave away millions of packets of their food products like noodles, biscuits and chips for free.

This is the behavior that describes a nation, this is what describe their spirit that they will face every difficulty holding their hands while taking care of each other  and in contrast what we are doing , I guess I don’t have to tell that. So, in the end I repeat the same question, can we be human’s atleast.

We are getting short of Heroes

JK Rowlings , the name which no one knew 10 years back, now world knows her as the creator of Harry Potter fantasy series which has brought her name at the top on the list of world`s richest women. That happens with most of the writers, players, artists, actors of western society, they get money, love, appreciation almost everything for their hard work, for what they are doing for their society and for their respective country.

Now, if we have a look at our beloved country Pakistan, couple of months back, one of the greatest artist of the history of Pakistan died and what we and our government have done for him until now, His name was Moin Akhter, A producer, actor, comedian, singer, stage artist, an anchor, he had done almost everything to make us laugh, to make us cry, to make us believe in love, laughter, happiness and all good things in the world and now no one takes his name. This is not the only case, actors and comedians like Lehri, Junaid khan, and so many others who are either living their lives in the lost corners of this country or dead waiting for some appreciation, some reward for what they had done all their lives, We also have forgotten our superstars of sports industry, who takes up the name of Shoaib Akhter now, who was the fastest bowler of the world even with his flat footed deficiency.  We have forgotten the likes and mastery of Zaheer abbas, Jansher khan, Samiullah and so many more.

This effect the new generation the most, we don’t have anyone to look up to, we don’t have anyone who we can idealize about, we are afraid to do anything for our people, for our society, thinking of what we do will go in vain. We don’t remember people who have given so much to us all their lives and the nation which forget their heroes don’t make new ones either.
