Walking silently and making her pace smooth on the way, she was trying to cover up her body from all sides. When she was about to cross the road, a group of boys whistled loudly and crossed by touching her body. She became nervous and tightly pressed her shawl in her hand. When she stopped a rickshaw, she looked upward to tell address and there, she saw greed in eyes. Seeing this, she moved away with tears in eyes and gloominess in soul. 

He was dancing in a marriage hall and singing with his beautiful voice at the same time. Everyone was praising him loudly and money was falling around him like the rotten leaves. When he stopped, someone came there and touched him, exaggerating his feminist vibes, saying: "Hey dolly! Let's spend a night to enjoy". This made him cry and he ran away from there.

They were walking together and laughing by sharing snacks in hands. Both were innocent and were looking at each other, without any fear. On school gate, they stopped and looked around for their school van. An uncle came and asked them that their father sent him to take them to home. Both smiled and sat behind his bike with the thought that they'll enjoy today.

A dead body was found in the room‼️ Dead body of girl, brutally killed and signs of beaten could be seen on face. Parents were crying and furious but being judged by others. People came, eyes opened in shock and voices could be heard about character of girl. 

There was smell in the room, when Guru entered in his house. He looked around and saw his dead body hanging to fan‼️ There was a note written. "Guru! I blindly trusted this world. I gave them by talent and tried to earn. They misused my gender and raped me in morning. I was raped every time by their eyes in daylight and was raped every night by their masculinity. I was unable to bear the pain, so, I decided to embrace Death. Forgive me for my feebleness".

He was walking to his home, when he saw a cloth. He stopped and searched in the bushes. What he found made him cry. Two dead bodies of innocent children, with bluish skins and tears rolled on cheeks. Their bodies were mashed brutally and seemed like they were assaulted inhumanely‼️

In a report, it was mentioned that in last 6 years, 20,000 cases of rapes were reported to police in Pakistan and there are still many, that remained suppressed, unreported or unknowingly happened. Sometimes suppressed due to the fear of being judged, esteems of families and due to the future of little siblings. The other times, it was seen that cultures, norms and society's pressure made them lower their voice because of less resources. Every third female face sexual, physical and psychological assaults everyday but remain quiet, because she can't fight. She remains silent because SHE'S A FEMALE. Every transgender face harassments but can't speak, because HE'S A TRANS. Many males face sexual harassment or gets raped but keeps his mouth shut because of society's acceptance and mockery. He keeps his mouth shut because HE'S A MALE. 

Such incidents happen everyday in our society and it's becoming a tradition. Rapes cases are increasing, sexual assaults are becoming a trend and consequences of these are deaths, either by suicide or on-spot brutal death. It's like a circle moving on and making us weak somehow. Things are becoming complex and fear is rising high. Everyone is scared deep inside because of the view that they can get raped, assaulted or killed. 

Fear is rising high, making us numb❗

Risks are getting high, making us crumb ❗

There's a dire need to take a step ~ crutial step that would change the thoughts. It is the time to make our community learn to face, fight and crash those who harass or try to rape. Awareness campaigns and speaking up to make a trend is the need of hour. Education ~ either through different skits, dance performances, written articles, campaigns or through trainings is needed. It's not about boys, girls or trans. It's about US. We need to take a stand because our entire generation is on the verge of destruction. We are suffering somehow in this fear and we need to end up this by speaking up. We were born free and we are to live free. 

End up the slavery of minds,

Speak up to change minds ❗

Speak up to end sufferings,

Speak up to eradicate brutality❗

RENEWABLE ENERGY

RENEWABLE ENERGY RENEWABLE ENERGY has potential to serve the major proportion of Pakistan’s energy mix if handled properly Renewable Energy Policy, Current Energy Generation Statistics and Upcoming Plans June, 2016 Renewable energy has become the center of focus especially after Paris agreement (COP21) where world leaders agreed to cut down their fossil fuel consumptions in order to keep earth temperature below 2 degree Celsius. Hydel, solar, wind and biogas/biomass are the major constitute of renewable energy and Pakistan is blessed with abundance of renewable energy potential. Since last decade Pakistan had been unfortunately stuck in massive energy crisis and as the population grows, demand increases and energy crises become worse. Furthermore there will be 50% increase in primary energy demand between 2014 till 2030, said by Minister of state for Petroleum and Natural Resource. For years, the matter of balancing Pakistan’s supply against demand has remained unresolved and cur...

Future would be challenging

By
Surviving in a society is a big challenge in itself. Some people win and others find escape by committing suicide. They think the challenge of eternal life would be much easier than this. Almost every person in this world is depressed. Problems are the part of life but fighting them and struggling to survive is most important. Everyone accepts the challenge of sunrise but only few can survive with the sunset. I would like to quote an incident here which was happened a few days ago, A young boy found dead in his room. He was 27 years old. It was told that he was expelled from his job and he was depressed about finding a new job in this era of unemployment. Stress is common now and life is precious as it never repeats. We youngsters get panic within few seconds. Every problem has a solution what we need to do is just think and plan. If you are not good at one thing then go for the other. You need to come out of your comfort zone and take the risk. You need to learn the time management...

What are we struggling for???

By
  We are always bound to go to through some sort of struggle in our lives. What is this struggle for either you going to lose your job, you have some sort of financial problems or there might be a bad week when you think that everything turns into wrong? Staying on track without clear goals is just like floundering uselessly. All of your life goals regarding your financial or social life help you to make decisions about your career. I believe that our life is the sum of all thoughts and beliefs we have about life. We would be able to frame every experience of our life in this thought that “Life is a struggle” only if we are taught at early stage of our life. Instead of being open we will be expecting for the bad things to happen in life and this will be self-fulfilling prophecy. In the past, the life span was longer than as of today and we think it was just because of their healthy diets and being engaged in fieldworks. Did you know it was not diet only it was the satisfactio...
