Rail Network of Pakistan and Required Improvement

Few days back i was travelling in an auto rickshaw, to get into my area, near Karachi air port. When auto reached to a tunnel, above that tunnel a train was passing quickly to its destination. Suddenly the auto driver stopped the auto well before tunnel, i inquired if anything is wrong there in the tunnel , he replied there is nothing wrong but this tunnel was made about 100 years back by British engineers, so he can not take the risk of getting into it while any train is passing over it and since decades we Pakistani have done nothing to improve this rail network infrastructure to stand well for some more time.

I was stunt to listen his argument for not entering into the tunnel, since to many times on my own car, i have never stopped myself for crossing it if there any train is coming over it.

Recently signed contracts with the President of China also includes some improvement in rail network across Pakistan, which will include northern areas as well, which is not yet connected to Pakistan, with this cheap means of transport and can improve tourism allot, from there anyone can reach to Karachi till Gawadar, if this becomes reality.

Karachi also needs a mass transit to avoid rush on roads in peek hours, which seem not possible until provincial matters are not settled between elected powers.

So lets hope Pak-China's recent talks may come with some good news for this neglected means of transport with much more convenience to masses.  

Manora and Nearing Islands, Possibly the safe city of Pakistan's Economy.

Yesterday, i visited Manora Island of Karachi for the first time, doors of wonder opened to me seeing that big peace of land being used just for minor work of ship maintenance and staff residence, where as this can be converted into a little safe city for investors coming from foreign countries in different multinationals or to real estate to convert it like a palm Jumera Islands of Dubai, which is an artificial location, where as Manora is natural gift to Pakistan.

But with a difference of economic hub not for just residential purposes. I also know that if this idea is not possible in Manora due to K.P.T operations, so it could have been done in nearing Islands.

Then sometime i really think seeing lazy progress and corrupt mentality in administration of power sectors that we really need "Naya Pakistan" by some forceful miracles. 

Alternate Delivery Channels | Environmental and Financial Risks in Pakistan

Last year i have started working in the electronic financial industry, we are mostly using mobile or internet technology, which is to give people alternate ways of connecting their financial accounts and activities with either banks or virtual accounts using electronic mode of payments and receiving of funds.

Following are few technologies that i am seeing will add more value to current electronic financial market in Pakistan to provide financial risk free environment so on so risk free societies with better identity management.

Being Job Less and Humans in Offices

When i was in my child hood , i used to received to many uncles at home being called "Chacha" in Urdu language. I was always surprised and used to ask my mother , how can i have to many "Chachas", then she educated me about a friend ship relation between my father and these uncles coming home from different backgrounds.

One of the them was Hadi uncle, my father saved him in the bombardment of India to Karachi in 1965 war's days, when he got hurt, was not located for almost a day by his newly wed wife and little kids, My father took his bike and reached him, locating injured and then took him back home saving his life, when even his close family members were not able to help him .

What ever i have written above is to express the situation or moral degradation these days, i spent almost 10 years of relations ship with people in my last office and these days i am facing joblessness, But my kids are not able to call anyone "Chacha" as of mines, because these days the hunger has no limit, relations are build up as in line with good status one can have, people will meet and help you, if you belong to major group leading in the market, people will have relations if you are ethnically, religiously or have some other common grounds matching with each other.

Otherwise one have to face continues pain. I am so much worried about this new scenario but at same time still hope full for few Island with old values too, those are helping hand without creed and cast and may God promote them well in the society for a safer society for our kids. 

1947-2012....Immigrations & Pakistan.

I am quite used to of listing stories of my parents about their past life in home tome near Allahabad, Uttar Perdesh, State, India. They really missed all those events and remaining family members in India after when they immigrated to a new paradise, dream land of subcontinent’s Muslims, Pakistan.

It is basically a story of a generation who sacrificed their mother land, properties & love ones for a cause where Muslims were supposed to regain strength & empower their self to attain lost glory, grace by Hinduism & British conspiracies over the period of almost 200 years.  

Now in 2012 I strongly disagree with my parent’s decision of immigration to Pakistan, having solid reasoning for being in Pakistan as un-blessed and wrong decision of my parents.

Because my cousins in India are safer, locally & internationally educated and respected across the world for having Indian passport. They do not need to be aligned in any identity parade to be killed for having a different believe or sect then other Muslim brothers.

Whereas in Pakistan I am very much concern not just for my sake but about my only son who is just two years old and bringing up to be killed (God forbid) by my brotherly Muslim sect on sectarian grounds not by Hinduism and British empire’s forces.

Is there any direction present in this country who may stop me to not to migrate to any other country just too safe my one and only son. 

Answer is absolutely a big NO…………..

(It was an abstraction of my discussion with my friend who was migrating to Australia, his father was murdered getting out of the bus, when he was heading to Skardo from Rawalpindi, after an identification parade and for having unacceptable sectarian identity to the murderer sect, with many other passengers on board.)

Evolution tends to Revolution

Everyone is speaking these days of revolutions across the world, we have witnessed few rare instances where people have made this possible in Egypt & Tunis others are trying to achieve their destiny in middle east.
In Pakistan again people will see fabricated revolution by the same hands those some times made democratic leaders & organizations in the shape of Nawaz Sharif-PML(N), PML(Q). Now they are making Imran Khan (PTI) as a revolutionary symbol.
Lets wait and see how successful will this model be for the betterment of people, for that we have to wait till next election & to see secret hand fully active behind the curtain playing solely with the future of fellow countrymen as since long they have all rights reserved to do so. Because this time they have new strategy there they do not have any need to say MY DEAR COUNTRY MEN on state run channels.

Civil & Military Bureaucracy

People across the country speaks a lot about civil and military relations, when it comes to reality in marshal laws and dictators rules, which is an evident reality in Pakistan & people have gone through many instances where they rate this working scenario most of the time bad, specially when they are supposed to work together.

I just witnessed a damage to a visionary & an innovator, there were no generals like Zia/Mush but few ordinary retired officers tried and become successes full (Just to safe guard their petty western interests) to off track a great professional and absolute technologist following his dreams to change financial cultural by using height of the technology for masses of Pakistan.

Infect the reason I observed physiologically is that people from military environment have great ability to dilute performance of enemy by using built-in/trained intelligence skills and war theories where a petty civilian is only trained by his Nobel parents to always take care people, spread harmony and prosperity.

Hence it is quite convincing that we must discourage to hire on duty or retired officers to come in work with innocent civilians having no background of such level of intelligence and enemy theories embossed in their mind sets.
