Notice: Following is the article, that I wrote for Teabreak.

Present day: There is so much hate and frustration amongst that, that it’s easy to miss all the good things that we have been gifted with, good things that we as people and we as a nation have. It’s easy for the reality to be lost amongst so much lies…

I remember when the Earth quake hit the Northern Areas of Kashmir, in October 2005. It hit in the morning and the country was all ready and helping and organizing ways to help people who had been victims.. I remember that, yes I do, I witnessed a whole lot of activity, an activity which was in good will of the nation, which was to help people, regardless of their location, that was the spirit. I remember how camps were organized, how people donated whatever they could.. even the tinniest thing the people might need were donated.

We also witnessed, how people had reacted to this act of nature, we all got together, and no one had even asked ask to, this is what is inside us.. hospitality, the caring for each other attitude, no matter how we are, and who we are..

We also saw how people had reacted to the Tsunami that had hit a big part of South Asia, Pakistan was amongst the first to be there helping other countries and communities to overcome the problems that were surfacing.

Pakistan, my friends may have faded and fainted a bit but it’s still our country, we need to do something positive about it.
