Oasis in Hell

Welcome to Al-Khair School in Kachra Kundi near Surgani Town, one of most polluted places in Pakistan, Karachi. This school is being operated under the supervision of Mr. Manazir who has dedicated 25 years of his life for poor children of Karachi. This was his second school operational since a decade. It was started from a Jhuggi, latter a small building (white one in the 3rd picture above) has was constructed in that area.

You inhale more smoke then clean air there, and while studying a student one hand is busy with warding off flies. Saw lives being transformed right in front of my eyes ... If you want to see how worthy education is, you have to go there are see the students studying.

Entrepreneurship, Economic Growth and Death of Society

by Omar Javaid

For a layman Entrepreneur is a person who does an economic activity by selling a commodity which he or she owns, produces, grows etc or any service, based on his skill, which is needed by the society. Mankind has needs such as food, shelter, clothing, transport etc to live and perform various functions. It is also clear that each one of us is not sufficiently owns all of the things we need therefore we exchange the things or skills we have with the things or skills others have. It is needless to emphasize that money is the medium of exchange. This makes entrepreneurship (assuming it as synonymous to a trader or a manufacturer) a natural phenomenon which cannot be avoided in a society. Just like we need water, food and air at individual levels, therefore a healthy society needs a market where entrepreneurs operate to make available things which they have for the ones who need them, in exchange of a consideration. Just like it doesn't make any sense to emphasis the importance of clean air, water and healthy food at individual level, similarly what sense does it make to emphasis on the importance of entrepreneurship at social level?

Are we about to repeat History?

by Omar Javaid

Our survival as a nation is miraculous, sometime I think, just like survival of a person who suffering from a dozen terminal illnesses, whose limbs have been amputated, whose sores have become infectious beyond curable limits, with vultures hovering over his head - sometime biting chunks of meat out of his body and yet he is breathing ...

A nation where all are doing their bit to dig their own mass graves, nailing their own coffins, chopping off their own limbs, poising their own wells, burning their own property, killing their own sons, raping their own daughters, looting their own property, as a revenge because someone in their home has done something the same with them under a racial, ethnic and sectarian pretext.

When the same group morph themselves into judiciary, executive bodies, public educational institutions, revenue collection department, local and intercity transport, railway, water/gas/electricity distribution departments, etc their blood-lust, for their own blood, only gets institutionalized ...
