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.
