With the help of mobile phones, people can keep in touch with each other no matter where they are. We can talk, text message, use internet, listen to songs or play games on it just to pass time. We can forget anything when we leave our homes but mobile phone is that one thing which we never forget to take with us no matter where we are going. Nowadays there are two different mind sets of people using mobile phones; some use mobile phones because they think of it as their need and just to contact each other but some just buy expensive mobile phones because they think that it’s a part of status symbol or just to show off. Some people use it just to make urgent calls but some just never stops calling or text messaging. Unnecessary usage of mobile phones can be very harmful, using night packages and staying late nights on call can be harmful for ear as well as brain. Unnecessary text messages can affect eyesight and sometimes user is so lost in text messages and calls that they do not notice their surroundings which causes road and car accidents. Well mobile phone is a curse or need, it depend on the person that how that particular person is using it. Everything is a blessing, if it is being used within limits otherwise it will become a never ending curse.    

Generation Gap

Nowadays generation gap is one of the main reasons why children are moving away from their parents.

This is because the thinking of today’s youngsters is way different from the thinking of their parents. In choosing careers the parents force their children to become doctor or engineer because in their days these were the only respectable professions, they don’t even ask their children what they want to become. Today’s youngsters are going against it because they know there are so many other professions and a whole new world ahead being a doctor or an engineer. Generation gap is causing lack of understandings and share of thoughts amongst parents and their children. Parents are always so busy with their daily routine, that they most of the times don’t give enough attention to their children, which they should to keep the bond between them and their children strong; so when they do give attention, they find their children different because of which they fail to get along with their children and this is where the generation gap starts taking place. To finish this generation gap, parents should give attention to their children, talk to them, listen to their ideas and dreams, support them in achieving them, give them your own thoughts so the children can feel that parents do understand them and will support them. This feeling will make children achieve their goals and dreams more effectively and they will surely succeed in them.  

Keeping Fit

Besides being healthy, there is also the attractiveness of persons with fit bodies
Thus keeping fit is important and attainable . As someone rightly puts it ” Health is wealth ” so such a pursuit is certainly worthwhile .

Relationship between Animals and Man

The relationship between man and animals seems to be as ancient as the existence of man itself. When we dig deep in history, we find several traces of this relationship .Even in the Stone Age, man and animals have always been coexisting and correlating some way or the other. The historical cave drawings done by the people of The Stone Age or the remains of ancient civilizations such as The Indus Valley Civilization  show vivid evidence of the vitality of animals in that time.

Animals have been of great use to man since the origin of times. They have been a great source of food, transportation, and labor.

Though, with the passage of time, animals were not only the source of such trivial things but also become a big part of our lives. They are frequently kept as pets and are trained to entertain people especially in circus, zoo or even the show business. Dogs, cats, parrots and pigeons are well known domestic pets. They are even kept for the sake of our protection.

They provide multiple advantages and in return are loved and given shelter by their owners.

With the awareness and increasing development of the society, various social groups are rising to protect animal rights and to secure them from the danger of extinction.

They are given tremendous importance even in various religious rituals all over the world. A lot many animals are even considered idols especially in Hinduism and Buddhism. Ancient Egypt also treated various animals as “sacred beings”.

Islam has also stressed upon treating them in the gentlest manner. Slaughtering them for even food is to be done in the least painful manner.

Animals are crucial for a man’s existence. We are dependent on them in every way possible and their extermination would eventually lead to ours.

Micheal Jackson- the talented king....

Few years back I used to write a lot. Writing was like a passion to me and then gradually I started to lose my passion I don't know why but yes this is a fact...well i used to write rhymes as well and 3 years ago, I wrote this one when the king of pop "MJ"died ....so here I am sharing my thoughts!!

I can still see that person,

In front of my eyes,

Its Micheal Jackson,

For whom everyone cries,

I can still remember,

his moves and his pose,

the way he turn's around,

and stand on his toes,

No one can be like him,

as talented as he was,

it's difficult to believe that,

now he is under the cross,

This is the indication,

of the end of entire pop,

the king of pop is no more,

means that there is no hope,

everyone's mourning around,

night till noon,

crying and saying,

gone too soon,

He was willing to,

heal the world,

but media never let him,

and made his life blurred,

As it is obvious that,

you are now no where,

but if I wanted to be like you,

will you be there,

I've heard this many times,

that life is a cycle,

and if it's true,

will you be back MICHEAL?....

Karachi... the city of lights facing load-shedding..

 Everyone in Karachi and outside Karachi is just despondent of the cataclysmic conditions of load shedding , and drastic impact is being left over people due to load-shedding but antagonistically this cause is bringing people closer and socialization is getting frequent without using any telecommunication medium  which is a good thing...at least something is positive about load-shedding! Well load shedding is considered to be the worst process people had to pass through but they should realize what it is actually doing to them , not that i am in the favor of this cause but we should always see the brighter side of everything. So yes it has got more positive things. As we all know that now-a-days technology has  captured our lives so badly that we can't get over it even if we actually want to. But thanks to load-shedding, due to which we are able to get rid off the technology for an hour or more than hour and we can utilize our that precious time doing some other good and useful things. Whenever light goes off our mind starts to generate ideas to pass our time, so at that moment we spend some quality time with our family and friends chitchatting and sharing many thoughts.
people living in such world do not have time for themselves they live their life only for the sake of money. They go through with such hectic routine which never let them to do some other work other than there professional work. In such routine life men forget him and lost him somewhere in this life. Although knows what is happening in America or in Islamabad but unaware of his neighbor conditions , therefore the load shedding provides a Muslim the time to perform his duties for his neighbor as taught by Islam.

Music Industry in Pakistan Now-a-days !

The Pakistani culture is a diverse one, composed of various parts of Asian cultures, including but not limited to, Turkish, Indian, Arabic, Persian and a slight touch of Western. These influences can be found in the distinctive sound that has been formed over the years, which defines the Pakistani music.

In the early 90s, a group of four young rebellious boys in their early 20s, wearing leather jackets and jeans appeared; the first boy band of Pakistan. They created a new breed of pop music in Pakistan. This band was no other than one of the most popular bands in the country, “Vital Signs”.

With the release of their first major single, “Dil Dil Pakistan”, Vital Signs began to achieve recognition and fame in Pakistan, which was not something easily attained.

 “I can’t, even for a split second, deny the fact that when fame first hit us (the Vital Signs) at a level that we couldn’t possibly imagine, it felt good,” says Rohail Hyatt, Keyboards and Guitarist of Vital Signs.

Things began to change during the early 1990s, Enters “Junoon”, Pioneers of sufi-rock, with the fusion of rock guitars, bluesy vocals, eastern instruments like tabla, traditional Pakistani folk music and Eastern inspired poetry, Junoon quickly achieved success in the music industry and developed a nationwide fan following. They revolutionized the music industry with their own unique genre of sufi-rock.

This was the time when the Pakistani audience was introduced to rock music that they actually understood and appreciated. Several other notable rock bands followed into their footsteps, including Noori and Strings, 2 of the most popular mainstream pop-rock bands of Pakistan.

Both Noori and Strings played an important role in the maturity of the Pakistani music scene in the 90s.

During the years between 2000 and 2006, the music industry went through a lot of changes, with the introduction of bands like Karavaan (formed in the late 90s, achieved popularity in the early 2001 with their first single from the third album “Gardish”), Jal, EP, Aunty Disco Project, Mauj, and a number of emerging underground bands.

The music industry has come a long way in a short span of time. Today, several music channels play local music, dedicated to bringing the local musical talent to the surface.

Around that time, Coke Studio comes into the picture. Produced by none other than the man himself, Rohail Hyatt (of Vital Signs). The whole concept behind Coke Studio was to mature the musical taste of both the audience and the upcoming artists. With the skills and collaboration of some of the top notch musicians in the country, including Rohail Hyatt himself, Coke Studio proves to be the best platform for introducing fresh fusion of western and eastern classical music in the industry, creating a magical tradition of Coke Studio, where modern music meets classical raag.

The Platform has helped a number of artists get the popularity they deserved, including, but not limited to, Mauj, ADP, Bilal Khan, Mole, Zeb and Haniya, Zoe Viccaji, Symt.

Another music platform; “Ufone uth records”, produced by the best drummer the industry has seen right now, Gumby, is working tirelessly to help young artists emerge from the depths onto the surface.

Today, The Pakistani Music Industry has become more mature than it ever was, with the youth developing a proper sense of both eastern, western music and local music channels matching the quality of foreign music channels, and platforms like Coke Studio and Uth Records, dedicated to bring a change, one can proudly look back at the history of local music and feel the change it had gone through in the last two decades.
