RealTterrorists: Myth vs Reality

Image
What is terrorism? What do  terrorists want? Power? Money? Publicity? The word terrorism is derived from a Latin word which literally means"to frighten" by the use of violent acts, terrify  the people of any area in order to achieve goals of political interests or economic interests. It is an issue that plagues our world every minute of every day. We never know when or where a terrorist group to strike. It is the most hideous, abominable and hateful activity ever committed by human beings. Its purpose is to horrify the people by the acts f violence, creating horror, fear even damaging properties, hurting and killing innocent people. The history of terrorism  Scicarii were a first group who murdered people in their campaign to oust their Roman ruler from Judea. This was the beginning of terrorism in the world is an old as the first century BC.  The never ending war is being fought on the issue of "who the real terrorists are?"in many states.

citizenship

"living in Third world country is not as easy as it seems to be. The requirements of citizenship are far greater than living in some developed country no matter how much global viewers take pity and act as much co operate as they can; some things can't be changed and on top of that is human nature" Life is never easy for any individual no matter how much they try to fit themselves in it. The challenges meet by any person daily are of high significance when it comes to coping-up with the competitors. While living in Pakistan (throughout my life of course) I have witnessed so many types of people that some times it becomes difficult for us to differentiate among specific types. Now here I'm not referring to the cast or creed of people (Pakistan is a diverse country inhabited by multi-coloured people; belonging to different classes and mindsets etc) rather the nature shared by them. Whether you are living in an elite area or in slums ; you will witness such a combin...

Food Crisis: A man-made and man initiated hazard

Image
We frequently complain about the quality , quantity and prices of of  food available to us. Neither we are happy with the quality nor we appreciate the means by which it is available to us. Yet, we consume it on regular basis. People stressing human initiative about the energy resources and life forms organize massive dinners and large scale parties to discuss about it.  At one point we complain about the quality of chicken and how it is bred and later on we , along with our families, go to fast foods and enjoy our family time with the chicken-made meals. In short, human hypocrisy is the moderator of all the problems encounter to him. Now when we are having a look at the negative factors (social and health factors) I would like to mention a few scenarios . Yesterday I had the privilege of attending a marriage outside my family. The arrangements were good but what pained me the most was not something by the organizers rather by the  guests. A lot food had been wasted ...

The mighty heart

There used to be a time when terrorists used to be attacked; resulting in the deaths of many innocents specially children but  first time in the history of man kind children have been targeted. Children on whom the bright future of Pakistan was dependent, those children who  didn't even get a chance to defend themselves but those children  had mighty hearts and most of them were children of army personals. It is not the first time that Pakistan has faced terrorist attacks. Men, children, and women have died before in drone attacks etc but this time children of Army Public School have been victimized. It has been reported that 134 children have been killed and more than this figure are injured due to this attack by TTP. The most tragic part is that children of army officers have been targeted (many are still participating in the operation against taliban "Zarb-e-Azab". The saviors of Pakistan have given numerous sacrifices for the nation but this time the attack on t...
