Heat Stroke Hits Karachi !!

Ramadan Mubarak to my fellow brothers and sisters!!

This post is rather a sad one to announce about my city..
With a heavy heart, I write this post about the heat stroke that surrounds Karachi.

Karachi! It is a city known as "The City of lights" on account of its high life and people that reside in this particular city. It could be correct as well if I refer "was" in context to it being city of lights.

Heat Stroke basically happens to a person if the body temperature rises  above 105 F. The recent heat wave has taken away 700 lives and many more are at stake, Each day, each hour a person gets admitted to hospital as a result of heat stroke.

At this situation, what can I, a normal resident do?
This situation can happen at any city and one must always be prepared for it.

Starting off, there are some prevention needed to be taken in order to safe yourself
*Stay Hydrated
*Avoid Fast Foods
*Have minimal sun exposure
*Keep yourself cool constantly via a fan or sprinkler
*Never Panic when you are suffocating, rather take short breaths to keep yourself calm
*Keep your body covered
*Do not bath right after you enter your home

However, If you know some one who has a heat stroke, you can
*Fan them
*Keep their feet elevated from ground
*Sprinkle water over them timely
* Damp a towel and put it on their body
*Put ice packs over exposed body

It is good to care for others. Fill empty mineral bottles and circulate them on the streets to the working class as they are in need of water the most. Other than that, you can donate water bottles, ice packs, ORS sachets to places where heat stroke camps are located. You can also lifts to people walking on the streets to save them. Every action counts people!

Remember to plant trees and save our ecosystem!!
We are our own strength!!

University Education in Pakistan VS Government !!!

So the tension has been created between Government Of Pakistan and the university education in Pakistan. Why? Because law has been passed by the government to keep the funding rights rather than providing it to HEC (Higher Education Commission) as before. Keeping in mind the corruption happening in Pakistan, the rising Education sector will be doomed. Not only scholarships and Internship Programs will be effected deeply but the authentication of degrees gained by the students either in Bachelors or Masters or Ph.D program will loose its worth nationally and Internationally.The salaries not to mention might not be paid. Its like playing with the future of Youth.... the pioneers. In reference to all this, protest was recorded by the teachers of the universities present in Pakistan from KPK,Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan including KU, NEDUET and other institutes on 11th February 2014. The teachers unanimously bycotted from teaching at the institutes in order to let the governmen

Everyday routine:Misleading Morning Shows

Our day starts in the morning.Morning shows are supposed to depict our everyday society such that one can learn from it for a better life.After the chores and work,Pakistani women and men take time to view morning shows either live or repeat in order to refresh themselves. But!Is this the right thing that we showcase of our society on our media??? There was a time about a decade ago, when morning shows started from recitation of the Holy Quran on PTV followed by informative segments rather than cheap publicity as where now  the time has come that dancing,vulgarity,exposure is thought to be reflection of our society.On the contrary, it isnt!! Organizing fake weddings such to reflect the non existent vulgar culture to attain high TRP's is such a shame for us all.The programs are viewed globally and showcasing such a culture where boy girl interaction,dressing,dancing and songs are motivated rather then the modesty taught in our religion. There came an era that the Morning sho
