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!!

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...

Is it racism??

Racism is never a subject that people are evident to talk on. The fact that racism still exists is shocking,not because we live in a civilized society but because such people infiltrate our society and our on going generations.The fear strikes knowing less humanity exists. A recent incident took place in Mumbai where a young Muslim brother Mohsin Mohummad Sadique Sheikh was beaten horribly without even a hint of humanity by a group of people who had worm Hindu militant wardrobe called Hindu Rashtra Sena. The 28 year old Muslim brother,Mohsin, was beaten barbarically and viciously with hockey sticks until he had given up the battle of getting up and died. What was his fault??? Why was he beaten so brutally??? The answer lies on his appearance and was beaten due to the fact he was sporting a beard. The Hindu extremists have risen up and have been encouraged in Modi's government. According to Narendre Modi , India would flourish after he is brought to power and 'good days...
