Engulfed by friend monster
When the genesis of evil is evil how it endings could not be evil? The recent concordance- Malakand deal has indubitably proved Pakistan government incompetence to tackle the Taliban reign of terror and the plausible threat to the very existence of the country. India’s notorious brother Pakistan nurtured Taliban by arming and training them. The country provided benevolent fund to base-root their terror strike and laid them moral and diplomatic support. But now the friend (Taliban) has stabbed a friend (Pakistan) and threatens to subjugate its very existence.
With no way out, In February this year, beleaguered Pakistan government signed a ‘peace deal’ with the Taliban, the deal had in-turned empowered the latter to impose Sharia (Islamic Law) in the Swat and Malakand district in Pakistan tribal badlands. The deal was signed between the government of the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) and Sufi Mohammed, the spiritual leader of the Tehrik-e-Nifaz-Shariat-e-Mohammadi (TNSM).
Malakand agreement witnessed a paradigm shift of power from the Pakistan government to Taliban militants. The deal formulated in a 15-point, inscribed, Sharia Law would be imposed in the Swat Valley and Malakand district. The Pakistan government would withdraw security forces from the region and both the side would exchange prisoners. The Taliban would halt attacks on barber and music shops. The clause that brought some respite was the Taliban cannot display arms in public and cannot operate any training camp and would denounce suicidal attack. But the ‘patrimony’ of the clauses was impugned.
The birth of Taliban as a strategic alliance with devious ISI during the soviet occupation of Afghanistan (1979-1989), the civil war between the Red army and Islamists saw a continued vendetta for control of Kabul. While powerful warlords like Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and Ahmed Massoud fought for control of power while other warlords only eked-out miseries of hapless Afgans. They levied heft taxes of those using the road in the area.
In 1994, a significant development took place when the warlords held a convoy that belonged to a wealthy Pakistani in north of Kandahar to ransom. It was then the high time that the Pakistani government, who was that time also inefficient like today could not plunged into the matter directly, directed ISI to extend help to radical Jamiat-i-Ulema Islam (JUI). JUI, who ran millions of Islamic Seminaries for Afgan students (who were mostly the victims of Soviet war in 1979) organized a local militia named Taliban connoting student, fought against warlords and won. The Taliban was then welcomed by locals as they perceived it to be honest and religious. As a child, baby Taliban never imposed its ultra orthodox Islamic code, albeit, it gained international ballyhoo.
Untill 1996, it gained 90% of the countries territory and Pakistan sheltered and encouraged the notorious and inhumane prolific baby- the Taliban. Pakistan nurtured Taliban because the baby would help him to gain its cause: to end ‘two-border squeeze’ from India and Afghanistan. The handy and comfortable ally of Taliban and foremost terrorist group Al-Qaeda has carried out countless terror attacks against the West, especially against the US and government in pro-west Muslims nation. But as the ambition of Taliban and Al-Qaeda to form a complete Muslim country that could be set as an ideal for other countries swept, it even tried to engulf its mother-Pakistan, demanding promising a Sharia based justice system. In 2001, the Taliban proclaimed all-out war against the state when it hasn’t met Taliban’s demand.
The Taliban farcical quest to impose Sharia Law over the state hinges on banditry, discrimination, inhumane law, exploitation of human rights and women and child heist.
The recent concordance only served to reinforce the long held belief that the Pakistan government lacks political will to take on such ultra radical terror group. Though Pakistan Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani, extols the deal quoting it as a part of “three Ds’ strategy of dialogue, development and deterrence’. Summing more to belie to the fake laud Pakistan’s president Asif Ali Zardari asserted, ‘the deal is a part of government strategy to counter-insurgency and will help in restoration of peace’ but the crux behind the bent down is obvious and clear. Zardari once stated ‘The Taliban militants has captured a substantial area of land in Pakistan and the government is fighting for the survival of the country…we are aware that the Taliban is trying to take over the state of Pakistan…so we are fighting for the survival of Pakistan…It has been happening over time and it’s happened out of denial…Everybody was living in a denial…”
Though Pakistan had no other alternative but to reconcile with the Taliban, still the major question glaring in front of the whole world is -‘Today it is Swat and Malakand tomorrow it could be any other place… And when, we Indians also know that Swat is just 150 miles away from Amritsar. Then who far it is justified to keep mum and can be mute spectators of injustice? We still haven’t forgotten the blood stain of our dear ones whom we lost during 26/11 massacre. And secondly, how can the termination of evil be by good mode?

Hats off to these dads too!!
IT’S NINE o’clock in the morning and Tarun, a software engineer, is busy in getting himself ready for a board meeting. He is wearing a nice business suit, a well-matched tie, has already picked up his car keys and carried a laptop on one shoulder and a Barbie school bag on other and simultaneously pushing a baby’s cradle too. Got confused with Tarun’s image?
Mom Tarun is a super dad managing home and two daughters single-handedly. Single motherhood is relatively accepted phenomenon, but what about single fatherhood? Have you ever thought about the fathers who had lost their wives in mid of their lives? In India, second marriage is still a taboo and stepmothers are still not really appreciated, so for those single dads it is tough to decide whether to go for second marriage or not, especially when you have children ahead!
GN Srivastava lost his wife when he was in his mid 40s; the eldest of his three children was in high school while the youngest in fifth standard. He says, “It was hard to cope with the situation as the loss was irreparable. Managing my three children alone was not at all an amicable settlement. I had to devote chunk time in understanding and forming a correct balance with my children’s and to keep the family unified and coordinated. I have to be more caution when taking up decision of my children as when you are a single parent your action can be easily impugn.”
Mothers are always the grandeur in the family and a child’s best friend. She gently wipes off the tears from your face and so lucidly brings back a smile with her careful ways, but what about dads without mom’s whats the big challenge for single dads?
For Tarun, who lost his wife, Kalpana, a couple of years back during the birth of their second child Redhima, life has been tough, when he has to get up early morning and pack tiffins for her 10 years old elder daughter Ritika. He adds, “Changing baby’s diaper and feeding up a child isn’t an easy task for many moms and when you are Mr Mom believe it or not, but it is the most exigent task that you ever got to do.”
When asked about why he hasn’t opted for second marriage, as his children are too small. Tarun asserts, “In the beginning, everyone forced me to opt for a second marriage as a girl-child desperately needs a mother to share all shades of experiences with her.” But Tarun stood firmly in his decision to not to go for second wedding.
He confesses, “I always intended to make a cozy and friendly relationship with his daughters, so that they could feel free to share their minute experiences starting from school tête-à-tête to first crush.” As he was continuing, little Redhima who is just two years old, now embrace him and asked him to sing a song. When asked whether he sings really well, he chuckles and says, “To fill the mom’s void, I have also crooned rhymes for my daughter’s sleep.”
Another single dad Rakesh Bharti, an engineer, too shares a very flexible and amicable relationship with his 15 years old son Ayush, who lost his mom four years back. At that time, he was not matured enough to accept the truth that his mother went quite far away never to return back. Bharti quotes that in initial stages it was hard to explain and Ayush often asked where has mom gone. One fine day, Bharti with heavy heart disclosed the rare truth to his son. Ayush has now very well adapted with his mother’s absence in his life and now too helps his father in managing home by helping his grand ma in kitchen and making a list of grocery items needed.
Anupam Srivastava courteous son of GN Srivastava sharing his bonding with his father commits that during the early days when his mother died he was feeling aloof. I have immense respect for my father that forbids us to communicate with him freely, but soon we realised that now he is the only parent for us in the whole world, so we need to start working on the relationship to develop a strong bond and to make father-son relation easy going. “Definitely the void left by my mother cannot be filled, but my dad did his best to nourish us in the best possible manner that we can expect a single dad to be!” he adds.
Motherhood is god’s gift, but these fathers have stood against all odds and have never let their children feel mother-less. They have being bestowing care and concern, and sometimes-exceeded mothers by far and large.
Undoubtedly these super dads have redefined fatherhood for mere feeling to expression. So all those who think that father is all about inspecting your report cards, admonish you for your’s mischievous deeds and managing office only think again! There are some super single dads who have gone beyond the edges of traditional fathers and are playing the role of Mr Mom very plumy.

April was too hot!! Why????????
Have you ever wondered why mercury is rising so erratically? Why there is such hysteria in earth’s climate? HT-PACE talked with member of India’s first scientific expedition to Arctic in year 2007 Dr.Dhuv Sen Singh to seek answers on some crucial climatic issues.
Dr.Sen asserted that increase and decrease in earth’s global temperature is a natural cycle and there are scientific conclusions that shows that glaciers during Pre-cabian (550 million years ago), Gondawan period (300 million yrs ago) and Pleistocene (1.1 million yrs ago) also retreated and melted down. Dinosaurs become extinct much before human arrival on the planet Earth. According to scientific theories extinction and origination of fauna and flora, retreation and advancement of glaciers, cold and warm, arid and humid stages of climate are natural phenomena. Yet we cannot deny the fact of human being are acting as a catalyst to upsurge the earth’s temperature. Though fluctuations in temperature are natural but man is continuously elevating the adverse effects of climatic changes. Human has been neglecting the environmental loss that is being happening on a name of development. If we continue to uncheck pollution, deforestation and excessive human intervention to nature than undoubtedly we are propelling ourselves on a verge to extinction. Excessive global warming can also contributes to bring in disastrous Ice Age that can also mark human extinction from the planet.
“Climatic pattern is like a wave of warm and cold tides. At present we are in climate of excessive heat in days to come what will be the pattern is still unknown to all? If we advance towards cold stage then there is nothing much to be worried about but if the trend of global warming will rise at such high rate than it definitely possess risk to human race. Therefore it should be our bounden duty towards our planet to opt for sustainable development of our nation and adopt basis measures to abate global warming ” adds Dr. Sen.
What can you do to reduce Global warming?
Ø Stop using non-biodegradable items for domestic use.
Ø There are two sinks for Carbon dioxide: Trees and Rain. We cannot control rain so we should try to plant more trees to filter and purify our surrounding. Try to plant a tree atleast at your birthday.
Ø Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Use fluorescent bulbs in your room.
Ø Turn off your computer or the TV when you’re not using it. Unplug chargers when not in use.
Ø Wait until you have a lot of clothes to wash before using the washing machine.
Ø Don’t use the machine for one item just because it’s your favorite shirts
Ø Take shorter showers. Heating water uses energy.
Ø Close the blinds on a hot day if the sun is shining in. Dress lightly instead of turning up the air conditioning or use a fan.
Ø Dress warmly inside your house when it’s cold, instead of turning up the heat.
Ø Offer to help your parents keep the air filters on your AC and furnace clean.
Ø Walk short distances instead of asking for a ride in a car.

Oneness of God $ Oneness of religion-I Belive in Baha'i
Hey to all my dear friends this article is appreciated by and uploaded at bahaikinews.org. U Too enjoy the article and think about Baha'i Education in my view this is the best form of education that we can give to make this planet a wonderful place to live without any discrimination on cast,creed ,gender, religion basis...THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN DEVELOMENT OF WOMEN
No nation can achieve success unless education is accorded in all its citizens. Therefore, it is the bounden duty of parents to rear their children to be staunch in faith…For every praiseworthy deed is born out of the light of religion, and lacking this supreme bestowal the child will not turn away from any evil, nor will he draw nigh unto any good..
Could the students be brilliant and accomplished if the teacher is illiterates and ignorant? Mothers are the first educators of children, who establish virtues in the child’s inner nature. They encourages the child to acquire perfection and goodly manners, warn him against unbecoming qualities and encourage him to show forth resolve, firmness and endurance under hardships and to advance on the high roads of progress. Due regard for the educations of girls is, therefore, necessary. This is very important subject, and it should be administered and organized under the aegis of spiritual Assenbly….
Let the mothers consider that whatsoever concerneth the education of children is of the first importance. Thus shall these tender infants be nurtured at the breast of knowledge of GOD and His love. Thus shall they learn perseverance in all things, the will to advance, high mindness and high resolves, chastity and purity of life. Thus shall they be enabled to carry to a successful conclusion whatsoever they undertake and foster them to embrace Baha’I education.
Therefore it is incumbent upon the girls of this glorious era to be fully versed in the various branches of knowledge, in sciences and the arts and all the wonders of this pre-eminent time, that they may then educate their children and train them from their earliest days in the ways of perfection. Furthermore the education of women is more necessary important than that of man, for woman is the trainer of the child from its infancy. And if woman were imperfect then it will imply to a condition of imperfection in all mankind. If the educator were incompetent, the educated will be correspondingly lacking. This is evident and incontrovertible.
In proclaiming the oneness of mankind the taught that men and women are equal in the sight of GOD and that there this no distinction to be made between them .The only difference between them is due to lack of education and training .If woman is given opportunity of education, distinction and estimate of inferiority will disappear. Both the humans; both are endowed with potentialities of intelligence and embody the virtues of humanity in all human activity women does not manifest her natal prerogative, owing to lack of education and opportunity. But it has been objected by some that woman is not equally capable with man and is deficient by creation. Heretofore, women has been denied the right and privileged of equal development .If equal opportunity be granted her, there is no doubt she would be the peer of man .Why should a woman be left mentally undeveloped? Science is praiseworthy-whether investigated by the intellect of man or woman. So, little by little, woman be advanced, giving increasing evidence of equal capabilities with man-whether in scientific research, political ability or any other sphere of human activity. The conclusion is evident that woman has been outdistanced through lack of education and intellectual facilities.
Baha’u’llah has announced that inasmuch as ignorance and lack of education are barriers of separation among mankind, all must receive training and instruction. Universal education is a universal law. It is, therefore, incumbent upon every father to teach and instruct his children according to his possibilities. Equality of the sexes will be established in proportion to the increased opportunities afforded woman in this age, for man and woman are equally the recipients and endowment from GOD, the Creator. God has not ordained distinction between them in His consummate purpose. The education of child is compulsory …In addition to this widespread education each child must be taught a profession, art,or trade, so that every member of the community will be enabled to earn his own livehood.Workdone in the spirit of service is the highest form of worship. Devote ye particular attention to the school for girls, for the greatness of this wondrous Age will be manifested as a result of progress in the world of women.
Praised be God that there is now a school of this type in Tehran where young maidens can, through His bounty, receive an education and with all vigor acquire the accomplishments of humankind.
No nation can achieve success unless education is accorded all its citizens. Therefore, the decision-making agencies involved would do well to consider giving first priority to the education of women and girls. It should teach the concept of world citizenship as part of the standard education of every child.
A very important element in the attainment of such equality is Baha’u’lluh’s provision that boys and girls must follow same curriculum in schools. The house of Justice regards the need to educate and guide women in their primary responsibility. Your efforts should focus on helping them in their function as educators of the rising generation. Women should also be encouraged to attract husbands and male members of the family to Baha’I education. Gradually the spirit of unity and fellowship, as set forth in our teaching, will be reflected in the life of Baha’I families.

MY DIARY
Today im really sad my sweet little angel -my pinoo has gone back to her place two thousand kilometers away from me!! I"M quite in a mood to fight wid my God for all the injustice he has done to me!! I started cursing him first for why my pinoo has her workplace in chennai? I thought beyond and realized that God is really cruel to me and i turned more aggressive. I worked really hard during my 12th but still failed to cross 80%. I got a seat in dental but due to some unavoidable reason i can't join it n now im pursuing the course that i never intended to do .. Than in my sulk i turned to a mirror and saw im fat i again cursed god even more for that. I went on a rampage n sat down on my dinning table the found the food is not of my choice than what ?no doubt i again cursed God!! On thinking over all the injustice that my fate maker has rendered on me ,tears rolled down from my eyes and i cried really uncontrollably for many hrs.
Than suddenly i thought that someone has come near to me whom i can't touch but feel the presence. I realized my room was imbued with positive vibes and someone has answers for all my regrets. That was my inner self!! My inner self said me to SMILE for all that GOD has given to me. I realized im really lucky that my pinoo has a good job in the country where many are still unemployed and now has lost all hopes to get even one. I contrasted myself with those students who has attempted to commit suicide after they failed im xmas.Poor thinks that its the end of their lives. I gradually realized that im enjoying my course and now is quite happy with it and now i think its much better than opting a five year course in medical. For my fat solution!! who says im fat ?? I thanks God that my situation is millions times good than those who are physically handicapped or are visually impaired. those who have to depend on others n on their family members' for each step the take.. I have a mom who prepares yummy food for me and God as given me and my family enough resources that we can eat whatever we want.My inner soul contrasted me with the poor child at traffic signal who begs for a penny to have a one time meal. I condition is many times better than those who have starvation death..
After listening to my inner soul i realized what a fool i was?? My god has given me so many precious gift that i can't valued. Really what i fool i was?? I wiped off my tears Prayed and ask sorry from my lovely kind God for my fool thoughts.. I have so much to relish -resources,education and a wonderful family!! What more i can ask for?? I have just one word to say to Almighty that i "THANKYOU GOD!!"
