Traveling to Nepal

South Asia has immense potential to grow as a region and we need to foster cross border relations at people to people level. Realizing the significance of our region, I will be embarking on a peace journey from 26 Nov-13 Dec, 2012 to Nepal, one of the important countries in this region. I will be a attending a peace training program in the country of Mount Everest. As a Pakistani, this will be my first visit to any South Asian country. I look forward to share my Nepal experiences soon!

 

Real Heroes of Pakistan

The real hero of this country is the grass-root worker, a common man who does not own a computer and have no idea of face book.

After an activity in my training session today, among the participants, one of the workers spoke about something which mesmerized and inspired me than ever before! This hidden Hero of Pakistan told me that he and his friends after every few weeks spend some time for a voluntary work from cleaning beach to planting trees etc. 

One day he and his friends went to one of the major roads of Karachi and started cleaning the shoes of policemen who at first were shocked on what was going on with them. Once they realized that they were having some people who really cared for them, they could not stop their tears pouring and thanking these senior volunteers who are the workers and live hand to mouth.

Story doesn’t end here friends! Guess what?  Number of cars passing by stopped and passengers and drivers stepped out of them and they all started cleaning the shoes of the policemen who are labeled everyday as the most corrupted in our society. With the round of applause, I promised this worker that I will share his true story wherever possible for me and request the same from you if you are inspired by it.

Thank You!

Stop Palestinian Genocide!!

This human barbarism is lot worst than recent natural calamities!! Images coming from Gaza are horrific and alarming!! All limits have been crossed with abusing international human rights laws and deliberately targeting children in Gaza which has only one tactical purpose and that is the genocide of Palestinians. 

This bloody massacre in Gaza must end with immediate, comprehensive and durable ceasefire! World MUST act now to stop this mass killing before its gets too late! Prayers for peace!!!
