Back to Idol Affection

It is the nature of human beings that he invents something in different periods of time and he achieves ultimate point of success. Since evolution of humans till today they are involved in different activities, such as agricultural developments, technologies and so on. Now they have entered in communication era, like radio,TV, internet and satellites have been developed by themselves but the question arises that, why they are moving backwards after achieving the top most and ultimate success.
Media is a very powerful means of communication, it is a source of information, knowledge and entertainment, and people also use media for, entertainment, self relaxation and awareness. But nowadays, it is observed that in our society, mostly people have been extremely inspired by media anchor persons and celebrities and they forget their moral values, ethical values and culture. They do not realize that, what they are doing? It is just due to lack of confidence and knowledge about their moral values, religious obligations and inferiority complex.
Is it love, devotion, affection, attraction or inspiration, what is this and what it should be called? But they are doing it without any consideration: We hears many proverbs in our daily life, such as " yar bhai ki film kia hit hai:, or "yeh bhai ka style hai samjho apna style hai", in these sentences " Bhai" is a famous bollywood star and favorite actor of youngsters and they feels it their moral and prime “duty" to follow "bhai's" style. They pay full attention to these film, personalities and styles, instead of their studies and goal of life. Same is the case with our women, they gives priority and pay full attention and preferences to " Nadia khan morning show" instead of talking to their family members on breakfast and males gets excitement by this morning show. What is this? These media persons and celebrities have become "idols of affection”, for our viewers.
Allama Muhammad Iqbal said when the first movie was screened in 1930s,

That was the religion of the ancient nations,

This is the exhibition and show of the culture and expressions,

That was the mud of the world; and this is the mud of the hell to be burnt,

That was idol and this is the ash.

In these verses The great philosopher Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal had made it clear about today's situation and he called media personalities as " Dozzakh ki matti", because in ancient age and pre Islamic era, human worshiped those idols, made from clay and those idols were the source of affection and inspiration, but now a days people are being inspired by those idols who appears on electronic media i.e. TV and films as well as on internet .
I would like to explain that, Hakeem ul ummat Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal did not mean that mankind has turned towards idol worship but the actual means of worship is that to expect or beg something from worldly idols, instead of Almighty God.
Obviously this lack of attention will move them towards idol worship. We observe the scenes that mostly people leave their important assignments and watch their favorite programs with full concentration. This is something very alarming. These effects of media are moving us away from our Islamic and real moral values and people are easily adopting other’s cultural values. It is all due to negligence, ignorance and lack of interest as well as lack of knowledge about religion and Allama Iqbal cautioned and warned us much more in advance regarding this evil.
It does not exists only in our society
But this trend is spreading all over the world, e.g., U.S.A, Europe, India and so on. The role of media has successfully played could not be played by the great rulers and dictators as well. The media can make and break public opinion. TV is up-to-date technology and it has many positive effects it is a great source of awareness of problems through entertainment. Educational and religious programs can be screened and presented in a better and interesting way. Our religious obligations, cultural norms and ethical values be kept in mind .The need is felt that use of media should be according to limits and on need to know basis. It is a natural factor and phenomenon that glamour does attract somebody but having given the priority, it means that to loose your aim and forgetting your basic mission and the reason of our creation is certainly not acceptable.
It is suggested that, the government and media people must also have their self made code of conduct, ethical norms and keeping the religious values in mind, while presenting any program on air, without competing with others, particularly the non believers. Educational level should be raised so that people can differentiate between good and bad, their should be no restriction on viewing the channels but the youngsters should be guided, obliged and instructed about good and bad, positives and negatives also (own culture and other’s culture, ethics and moral values) youngster not should make role model of any media personality, like bollywood stars and others. Government should promulgate the national values and national ethics and national issues and highlight the national spirits and patriotism. Leaders should set self and personal examples for the nation particularly for young generation.

HYDERABAD IN THE PHASE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. FEATURE: BY NIDA KHAN

Hyderabad in the phase of the development.
BY NIDA KHAN


Imagine the hustle and bustle of the traffic from City Gate Hotel to the Tower Market; the noisy roads full with mini-taxis; auto-rickshaws and many other vehicles; you will recall your memory and say:
“This is Hyderabad the second largest city of province Sindh and the eighth largest city of Pakistan.”

After seeing the bold steps of construction taken by the City Nazim of Karachi, the local government of Hyderabad decided to take the very same steps of developments, to make flyovers, bridges and few other development projects; such as sewerage system and water system. The local government of Hyderabad announced projects of development as under: five flyover projects; currently four are under construction and one has been completed in 2007 which is now opened to use for the people of Hyderabad. The people have waited a long to see the sight of development of their city and at last they can sense something of hope seeing one project being completed. There are some reservations that local government must have kept in view; such as first complete the first project then to start the second one, for example there are two routes going from Hyderabad main city to Qasimabad and on the both routes construction work is in progress; due to which people face many problems; sometimes they just ignore their important work just because of traffic jam and pollution.

Any ways here is program of development of Hyderabad as announced by the local government of flyover/bridges and underpass. The five flyovers are planned from Latifabad Unit-7. Shahbaz Chowk along with Thandi Sharak; Latif Chowk along with Old National Highway, Giddu Chowk along with Auto-Bahn Road and Qasim Chowk along with Old National Highway and also a single barrel underpass is to be constructed at the same place; only for one way traffic from jail side, turning left on Old National Highway for Latif Chowk. The flyover for Latifabad unit-7 has been completed and opened for use since December 2007.

Beside that construction work; three bridges on old Phuleli, Phuleli and Channel parallel to old bridges on these canals at Hala Naka is in progress with a view to reduce the traffic pressure, which is causing multiple difficulties for the citizens and travelers from other sides of the county who pass through Hyderabad. Another scheme of construction of flyover at Channel/Mirpurkhas Road Railway crossing and bridge for approach to New Subzi Mandi are also added. Flittered water and an efficient sewerage system are old demands of citizens of Hyderabad, which has been undertaken.

Hyderabad development project has been divided into two major phases and the development works of surface nature have got completed in the first phase to ensure durability of the development works being undertaken in the second phase. Due to this schedule all other nation building departments should complete their requirements before execution of development so as to avoid their losses.

All the development works of Hyderabad Development Project have being carried under GIS system with detailed information to meet any future requirement of the areas. Due to application of the GIS system, the district government has been enable to maintain the record of the existing development data from street to district level. The district government has not set priorities as instead of giving preference to disposal of sewerage it is keen on constructing flyovers, adding some nine million gallons of untreated sewerage water being daily pumped into Phuleli canal. Similarly, sewerage water of Qasimabad has being pumped into Indus River and consumed by people living downstream, the health of people is being threatened by Hepatitis and other diseases of water.

Having said and done that Hyderabad the oldest and 2nd largest city of Sindh will become a modern and beautiful city. Presently what we are facing is the traffic jams and pollution problems, that will be finished at once when all these developments will be completed and public have joy on relief, from all point of views, that is roads, flyovers, drinking water, sewerage system and recreational facilities in the city, the city will once again become the city of fresh breeze and soothing evenings. As it is called:
“Hyderabad the city of fresh air.”

“People are born artist, not made”

Mr. Muhammad Rafique Shaikh , is one of them.

BY NIDA KHAN

God almighty blesses certain people with such abilities in mortal world, that they do not have. Good voice is a gift of God every body have not with that good wealth owner Mr.Rafique is one of those people, who are gifted by God, he has extraordinary voice, he knows melody , his sound is incredible , that Mr. Rafique attained so much popularity in his life he is populous. The audience always gave him an enthusiastic response, moreover his ingenuity and artistic virtuously won every heart. He can possibly attain every thing due to his hard working, personally he likes soft and melody songs, he is singing simultaneously in sindhi and urdu , he is very modesty, shy, cooperative, friendly, hardworking and experienced singer.
Mr.Rafique sheikh was born in Hyderabad on September 26, 1969, he passed his matriculation in 1980 from Noor Muhammad high school , then he passed intermediate from Muslim science college after that he completed his graduation from Sindh University of Jamashoro in 1st class, he was a hard working student throughout his educational career always obtain excellent grades during his student life he was a good cricketer of 1st class cricket, he was an all rounder in his team and he achieved “ best bowler” award by “Zaheer Abbas” in 1987 but he had some family problems that why he could not continue his cricket passion. He is inspired in cricket by Jawaid Minandad.
He started professional career as an executive secretary at Fateh group of industry, then he went to Saudi Arabia for better opportunity and there he joined Al- Qafa construction company as executive secretary in 2000, he promoted there and became incharge of ISO organization in Damam, he had to came back in Pakistan in 2006 and there he joined NJI life in 2006.
Mr. Rafique turning point of life was in 1996, when he interested in singing and he incidentally entered in this field by the reference of his friend. He says, “a friends knew the song in my heart” and I have a good and melodious voice and people did well appreciate and teacher advised me to take it up seriously then I decided to continue singing and properly took training of classical music initially he learned from honorable Ustad Muhammad Siddique Mukesh and Usdad Sultan Khan Sahib (late) who played a great role in his learning and he did his base strong after his death he got training from Ustad Abed Khan Sitar saaz at that time , he was actually more interested in music.
His first break through came in the form of Radio program in 1997, he performed in “NOU RAANG” musical program, he also performed encomium (on the Holy Prophet S.A.W) other than he was been performed on T.V channels such as PTV and STN.
Mr. Rafique says, about his great achievements that he was performing first time in musical concert at Qila infront of huge and naughty audience whom did not perform to any singers but as such when he started performing on 3rd entry , I was surprised people were stunned when I sang the song, Mr. Rafique performed 27 songs whole night and it was very amazing that how I did it but he says that was his passion for singing. Second achievement of Mr. Rafique when he was performing with well knowned Ghazzal gayak Ustad Rasheed Khan and Mr. Rafique says that was a great night for me, because nobody interested in Ustad Rasheed Khan singing, as I sang a song, people requested to me again and again for singing instead of Usatad Sahib and I think, he was displeased by my self but he did not express he is a great singer and I respect him from core of my heart.
Mr. Rafique says “when a singer truly feels and experience what the music is all about, the words will automatically ring true”, I remembered well, when I performed in wedding function I was singing very emotional song, I was really amazed when I saw the bridal family was weeping my emotional song teased to them, and he believed that, faith and joy are the great force of song.
Good voice is a gift of God and nobody make it, my teacher said that “Talent is in born, can not be created”, and I agreed with him 100% because 95% people are artists only 5% be produced, however the talent can be polished.
In 2008, when the dedication music album “Zinda bad dakhtar e mashriq zinda bad” was launching on martyrdom of Muhatarma Benazir Bhutto. Mr. Rafique sung a song “Churcha Benazir ka har aik ghar main hai” for this album and this is the first and leading song of this album.
He is inspired in music by Mr.Rafique and his voice also match with Raffia, when he come to stage and his name announce, people thinks that he changed his name, then he clarify that “I am Rafique not Raffia”. Mr. Rafique was a lead singer of his musical group (Saaz –o- Awash).
Presently he is working on his personal album and he has already composed five songs for this album, Mr. Rafique says I am very busy in my insurance field that is why I can not fully concentrate on my album but I am very keenly interested to launch this album very soon.
Mr. Rafique highly appreciate the role of media specially in music industry, he says now people know, how media works, freedom of media is good in my opinion, when he started singing at that time we had very limited sources and new talent faced many difficulties for having opportunities but now a days many channels working not only in Pakistan also in Hyderabad and I am surely say that much talent in Hyderabad. Channels providing opportunities and appreciating with open arm, due to launching of private channels the deserving people have got employment opportunities. He further says “If you want to prove your self and you have talent so electronic media can play very important role and youngest singer must come on media”.
Mr. Rafique says about his singing career “ I am satisfied with my profession and singing, I have not too much desires but I always feel that I need to improve more and more, I want to learn more, he says about his future plans, well he intends to establish a music institution on his own basis in Hyderabad between 4 to 5 years, he says “ I am not in it for the money , I like music, I love music, I can not imagine my self not playing or singing, it would just drive me crazy if I did not”.
Mr.Rafique says” as the trained and experienced singer my advice to younger singer, who have talent and want to express their singing talent, they must know music learning
Besides they must be good performer because” singer come and go, but if you are a good performer, you can last a long time” also a good singer must know types of audience, their taste of music, and young singer should daily singing practice for 3 to 4 hours, my music teacher said that if you do practice in morning only one hour you can easily covered 3 to 4 hours , the logic of this saying is that because morning is very tough time for practice our voice s drowsy so very difficult to manage it in tune. So all young singers must work hard because this is time the age of competition, “If you want to sing, you have to learn music”.

“Healthy Women, Healthy Nation”
BY NIDA KHAN

It’s a very famous proverb that if you want a healthy generation you must need healthy women. Today’s young girl will be mother of next generation, if women are not healthy how can we expect a healthy generation? Women’s health is not necessary for only bearing children but also her health is necessary for her own self, her family and society also.
Our population approximately consists of above 50% women and a healthy person can make easily a healthy and beneficial society, healthy women can perform all the activity of daily life, she can do chores, study, look after her family, jobs in any field and can bear the financial burden or load of her family but this can be possible only, if she is completely healthy, physically and mentally. It is also said that give me good mothers I will give a good nation.
Ignoring the importance of nutritional requirements can have adverse health effects. In the long run, it can result in permanent damage to the bones, heart and the brain. On the other hand, providing rich nutrients that are required for the body promises good health. A well-nourished body projects an appealing appearance as well. The eyes, skin, hair, and teeth are its outward indicators.
Importance of nutrition, how it varies for women with age and physical condition. Resolve to take action for good health by following a nutrition chart. Redirect your eating habits so as to improve body resistance, stay mentally sharp, emotionally balanced and energetic. On the whole, it’s time to build a life with positive outlook.
Water, carbohydrates, fats and proteins are the four basic nutrients essential to life. Vitamins and minerals are classified as micronutrients simply because they are needed in relatively small amounts compared to the four basic nutrients. In order to be healthy and active, it is pertinent to follow a balanced diet that provides adequate amount of nutrient each day in quantity and variety to meet the energy and nutrient needs.
But the situation is going to lead to a very serious disorder in our society because mostly young girls, specially college and university students avoids, healthy and hygienic food, they likes fast food and junk food instead of healthy diet and homemade meals, they keeps on dieting to reduce their weight and want to look smart because the concept of healthy body is misfit in their minds, girls want to look like kareena kapoor and other under weight celebrities. They do an extra efforts for achieving this “risky task” I am using here the word “risky“ for achieving sliming target has poor effects on health and they doesn’t realize the actual risk of unhealthy food, poor diet and bad eating habits.
Mostly and majority of girls who come to university, without having breakfast at their homes and the moment, they land in university their first priority is to visit campus canteen and to order for unhygienic and dirty snacks ,soft drinks, tea and biryani, surprisingly they eat that junk food with very keen interest, when you ask these girls, who are busy in canteen having breakfast, one girl replied that she has no enough time for breakfast in the morning, as she was getting late that’s why she left home in hurry and having breakfast here in canteen, another girl said, she doesn’t like homemade breakfast only likes breakfast here with friends. It’s very amazing, that all these girls are getting higher education in university and all are unaware about human basic need “food” a healthy food and good health. They really don’t know that what critical situation can happen to them due to their bad eating habits, unhealthy food and unhealthy routine of life. There is no such shop or store of human organs or human body parts, where from they can change their expired human systems. Obviously these women may be having short span of life, full of miseries and having serious diseases at the later stages of life, it’s not a joke it’s a reality.

Girls of university are facing many health problems such as routine headache, body ache, low blood pressure, menstruation problem, lack of interest in studies and short memory, these all problems are indications of a big disaster. One concerned gynecologist said for this situation that, if a female does not have a proper diet, she will develop low body resistance and will be prone to so many diseases especially viral diseases, lack of good food will lead to menstrual disorders and other problems related to gynecology. All those who are crazy about their figures and keep on dieting to reduce their weight and they want to be and feel smart, in fact they loose their natural beauty, their skin is not that fresh as natural, it gets dry and having scars, they have circles around their eyes, their cheeks are depressed, the natural glow of their skin, eyes, nails and hair is vanished ,even they can be prone to hair loss also, if they do not take a proper and nutritious diet, it should include fruits, vegetables, meat all types, eggs, milk and nuts too, they will have white spots in their nails and more over their nails will become pale and hard which is a sign and symptom of unhealthy nails, so milk, yogurt, fresh cream and lassi can counter these problems. More over at a later stage lack of calcium can lead to dental damage and osteoporosis also, which is a disease of bones .Lack of iron in body can leads to anemia and the face of the patient has no natural glow and skin gets pale. These women when they become mothers their new borne are malnourished, having low weight and even if they are not under weight they are mentally very weak and lack intelligence, they are weak in studies and very slow in uptake as their brain is underdeveloped and these children later on, becomes burden for their parent as well as the society.

Nutrition chart for womenNutrition requirements of a woman differ a lot as compared to a man. What works best for a man is not likely to be right for a woman. As a woman treads through different stages of physiology, her nutritional requirements vary. For instance, during adolescence and early adulthood, there is a need to increase intake of food rich in calcium to build maximum bone mass. Thereby, it possible to ward off risk related to developing osteoporosis later in life.
All women lose 20-40 milligrams of iron each month during menstruation. If not checked, iron deficiency anemia can develop. As a woman nears midlife, her metabolism begins to slow down. It is all the more important to get adequate nutrients by eating a healthy diet.
As per The Food and Nutrition Board of the National Research Council, women between 23 and 50 years eat about 2,200 calories a day to maintain weight. The nutrient needs are liable to vary with gender, age, height, weight, physical condition, activity level and the climatic conditions you live in. Pregnant women and lactating mothers will need additional 300-500 calories per day than their usual needs. Also, the calorie needs will hit the highest point- say 2300 calories/day during her mid-twenties. Thereafter, it tends to decline at about 2% per decade. At this rate, by 35 the calorie needs will be only 2254 calories.
Each person’s daily nutritional needs differ with age, physical condition and activity.
Nutrition Tips

· Put together a healthy, total diet and adhere to it.
· Do not skip meals. Eat often, helps to keep weight steady.

Health is very rare and precious gift of God, so girls please don’t spoil your health don’t follow unhealthy activities, habits and trends, if you avoid your good diet you will loose your good health and low health is easily loosing your life and life is a chance it is given only once and life is not a drama or film where you can re- born after your death, it is reality so accept reality and avoid fantasy, enjoy the actual fun of life with health. These all are blessings just for you, so eat healthy food, feel healthy look healthy and people will call you “pretty women”.
