NATURAL DISASTERS

Image
Dear all, Weather is changing globally due to global warming. We should be ready for natural disasters like earthquakes, tornados, sea storms, ice storms, floods etc. Many countries are facing this situation in worse ever form. Some of them are developed countries, but they know that it is better to wait for it patiently and let it pass. They are already equipped to deal such disasters but sometimes all preparation seems not enough. Actually, these are unstoppable and we are helpless against them. We are now able to predict some of them but could not judge the consequences. It is just on estimations and forecasts. Being a civilized person, we can do in such situation is just to be vigilant and get appropriate training to face these natural disasters. I admire the role of telecommunication and internet in this regards that they are flooding the information for precautions and security measures to meet this situation. We should carefully listen and understand the steps for ...

WATER SCARCITY

Image
Hello all, We have almost 2/3 of our planet covered with water but still, we are facing water scarcity. Well, it is a shortage of fresh drinking water that is required to fulfill our nutrient values and health. According to various surveys, around 1.2 billion people are facing this situation. At a rough count, it is almost 1/5 of the total world population. People living in urban and remote areas, both are facing the problem in different ways but in remote areas, it is worse. Mostly in remote areas, there is no water filtration system available to fulfill their needs. This severe condition constrains them to use polluted and unhygienic water from ponds, canals, and rivers. Ponds appear with rainwater, it is a bowl shape or pool-type area that collects the water during the rainy season. Both animals and humans drink and use the water from the same place leading them to different diseases. An old way of water source is to dig a well for freshwater but it is not much commo...

STREET CHILDREN

Image
Hello all, We observe many children wandering in the streets, they collect many re-usable items out of the trash for their earnings or beg all day long. According to statistics, the count of these children has reached almost 1.2 million in Pakistan. I think the count is more as we observe no survey in past many years. Approximately all of them are illiterate and homeless, due to many circumstances. Most of them are the children of homeless parents and a lot are run away from their homes, escaping from impropriate, abusive and violent attitudes of their parents or guardians. How one soft and a sympathetic-hearted person can oversee these barefooted children; doing work apart from the severity of the weather, whether it is hot or cold? They have no time to play, many beggars play and enjoy with each other while the traffic signal is green and starts to work as it turns into red. They have been deprived of all the basic needs i.e. food, cloth, education, home, and a better fut...

EUNUCH - STRUGGLE FOR RECOGNITION

Image
Hello all, Recently, I have watched T.V drama on “ARY digital” with the title “Khuda Mera Bhi hai” meaning “God is mine too”. The subject was acceptance of eunuch as a child and a citizen. Most civilized countries have no issues in this regard, people with this gender are living a satisfied life there but in Asia, this gender is not treated as they deserve. We have a discriminatory attitude towards them. There was an era when they have respectful status in the palaces of Mughal emperors. In our society, a lot of people want to hear this sentence at the time of delivery “congratulations, it is a baby boy”, there are few who are satisfied with a baby girl but the situation worsens when it is the third gender. Most parents refuse to accept such a child right after birth. They think that it is shameful to accept them and that society will make fun of this incident.  People assume such parents as unhealthy in a way that they are unable to give birth to a boy or a girl. Thi...
