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!!

Zoo Animals Watch: zoo killed giraffe!!

Yes its right..... On 10th February 2014, this act took place at a local zoo in Copanhagen. The giraffe was a 18-month old male who was not only dissected in front of live audience BUT the remains was also fed to the lions. The zoo felt the animal to be unwanted..... CRUEL. A large gun was used for the act. This act caused a number of protests by every one who is an animal lover.The animal rights organizations also stood up for the cause but the zoo uses its advantage from European Association of Zoos as to reduce breeding. "I'm actually proud because I think we have given children a huge understanding of the anatomy of a giraffe that they wouldn't have had from watching a giraffe in a photo," zoo spokesperson Tobias Stenbaek Bro told Associated Press . Performing live anatomy for the sake of learning is fine but what good did killing an animal cause.It has indeed given live footage but was it worth it??? Well I cant say much but I think this act has ex...

Act of Bravery !!!

So I was browsing through the net until this news caught my attention. A young boy aged 15 named Temar Boggs kept on chasing a car on his bike in order to save a child. As a result, the 5 year old girl was saved who was kidnapped from her front yard in Pennyslvania. Later the cops were called and the culprits got arrested. Now, I wanted to share this story because this story teaches us a great lesson of humanity. Nowadays, people dont care a damn about whats going on in their surroundings as long as they are safe.They turn a deaf ear to the many silent cries around. Protecting humanity, being philanthropist, helping the sick is seen as some community work during detention or to flaunt your wealth. It does not have to turn  out like that. These are our basics, this is who we are and this is what every religion teaches us PEACE!

Asia Cup 2014:Pakistan vs India

Ok so yesterday that is on 2nd March 2014, aired the most exciting and thrilling match for cricket lovers. India vs Pakistan  You never know who will win the match that makes this match all too exciting. India had given target of 245 to Pakistan which had although seemed distant but was yet accomplished. The game plan did flip flops in the last five overs when Pakistan was at strike. After the catch out of Umer Gul, the match had seemed quite out of grip. Later Saeed Ajmal went out developing pressure on Pakistani team. It was all on the shoulders of Shahid Afridi which he not only suceeded but also did it quite remarkably with his last and amazing match winning six. One thing interesting is that such scenario between India and Pakistan had also occurred once during the Sharjah cup back in 1985/86 with only one wicket remaining. At that time,Javaid Miandad had hit the match winning sixer and now it was Shahid Khan Afridi. There is indeed similarity in the two Asia c...
