I was thinking about writing something sad about pakistan, about the situation the turmoil these days. To write about the pain my country is in, the pain my people are in. But i turned on the tv at 12, there was a parade ceremony going on at pma kakul. At exactly midnight, they hoisted the pakistani flag and after a beautiful medley of drumbeats, our national anthem was played and everyone at the pakistan military academy was singing it.
It reminded me of all the moments that i've felt proud of being a pakistani. Of all the moments that i've cherished my nationality. Of all the times when my national anthem has given me goosebumps, or brought me close to tears of pride. And this was one such moment. No country in the world has survived for so long the attack of both its enemies and the people living in it. We never think but we are all playing our part in taking pakistan down piece by piece. But it still remains by the grace of Allah. For Allah intends it to be.
What followed after the national anthem was quaid e azam's first speech that he gave after independence. Although the sound quality wasn't good, and you couldn't make out much, but there was one thing that resounded over everything he said
"...FOR PAKISTAN IS MEANT TO EXIST, AND IT WILL EXIST FOREVER..."
this felt like something i've been waiting for all these days, the determination in the great man's recorded voice was greater than any man that lives today. Maybe its because of his sincere prayers to Allah, that Allah has kept Pakistan standing. This country is to stay forever inshaAllah, with us or without us. We'll fade, it wont! InshaAllah

:) azaadi mubarak. though we have to get the real kind of it, and we are struggling for it in its true sense.
i had a lot of different ideas to write smth on this special day and i am going to, too :) but this another terrorist attack in Allama Iqbal town put all my spirits to zero! i dont knoe whts more to come on THIS day! ....
Yeah. That was sad. I'm in pindi right now and the twin cities were tipped to be under attack you know. But it happened in lahore. We're avoiding going out today coz of the obvious attacks and all... But you know i always thought what do people find so charming about quaid e azam? I just found that out yesterday. And i feel sorry for not realising that long before.
and what is that?
That he was so sure of whatever he decided to do. I have never heard such a determined voice, to the point that you feel he's ordering you to do something. And that too at the time when he was ailing. And people say there were lots of people with him so the credit shouldn't only go to him, very right, but look at this, now we know the importance of a good leader. We have good people today, determined and strong, but no good leader, therefore, the end result is not what it should be. He wasn't only a lawyer for the case of pakistan, an activist for our movement, a thinker and a revolutionist, he was also one of the greatest modern leaders, who knew how to agitate people, to channel their energies. And best of all, something that is really charming about him is that he really was sure of himself and whatever he had done. That quality alone makes him stand out from all of the modern leaders!
ya,, thats right..he just didnt get enough time to plan more for Pakistan and now we debate over did Quaid want a secular Pk or otherwise, and was he a good muslim and all such silly qts...we are feigning to be what we are not..lost our identity like we lost a great leader just too soon.
and you talked about modern leaders..there are no leaders today, not even good ones...they are beasts..seriously
By modern leaders i meant viladimir lenin, or z.a. Bhutto, or martin luther king jr. or malcolm x...there are no leaders today, these people nawaz, bb, zardari, mush, altaf hussain they're all opportunists who want to swallow anything that they can
