" Beta, Nashta tayar hai aur bai tumara intizar kar rahey hey" ( Son, the breakfast is ready and big brother is also waiting) Mom called me for the breakfast and I hurriedly took it as I was getting late for the classes at the library. Though there was a peaceful demonstrations call by a political group after irrespectable statements against the cheif of a rival politcal group by a senior minister of the ruling party. As I drove to Malir, I saw the activists of the rival party were holding playcards and some members of the group were signing a petition form in order to lodge their protest peacefully, and surprisingly all these activites were being carried on in a ground. Importanly, there was no voilence on the roads and the ways were clear for all the commuters. The daily business was same as usual.
On the way to library, I saw an accident and , for me, it was surprising to note that there was no mahem at the place and the ambulance reached at the spot at once and the injured person was taken to the nearest hospital. There was no aggression on the face of the injured person and he was expressing some forgiveness words to the driver who hit him.
The surprising story did not end here. It moves further. Where? at the parking area of the library. All the students have parked their vehicles in the suggested area. I was glad and astonishing too about the positive change in the people's behvior.
The continuous joting down of the notes made me to take a cup of tea. I rushed to the canteen with my class fellow-Masood Pardhan. I thought that the astonishing story was over now, but it continued. As we reached at the canteen, we watched a breaking news from the presidency and the Prime Minister house that all the ministers who had wealth in foreign countries would bring all their assets to the country. More, the PM would present the note in the supreme court himself against the orders of the chief justice.
The cirumstances since the morning brought smile on my face. More smiles were added when one of my good friends-Waqar Abro buzzed me and he told me happily that he had been selected for the post of Assistant Director in Sindh Education Department, and the selection was done on purely merit basis. It was a good news for me. I congratulated him and believed that now every deserving student would get due right.
In the evening, I was expecting some more good news. At the dinner, My bro brought another good news for me, and now it was about the start of the dialouges between the militants and the government. On the other side, it was decided in the federal cabinet that all the politcal parties would de-weponise themselves. I guess, the prayers of the public had worked and the positive will for the progress was being seen around.
Now my country cant be stopped from the development and progress because the citizens are more civilized now and there is dedication from the both public and the government to work for the betterment of the homeland. The citizen are talking about democratic and basic rights of the public,and more importanly now they are much familiar with the democratic culture. The media is not sentionalized and the writers are neutral.
You know what I have decided? My plans are changed now. I was planing to go to Canada for MS. I will puruse my Masters from a local universities because philosophers from different countries are coming to attend the lectures in the local universities. Additionally, the government has fixed an stipend for the graduates.
My cell phone was ringing and I recieved the call. It was Masood. " Dear, aaj library nai jana, Hasan Square per do parties k darmian clash huwa hai and roads saray blocked kerdiye and tyre jala rahey hey" (Dear, dont go to library today, two parties have clashed. All the roads are blocked an tyres are being burnt) I hurriedly opened my eyes and found myself on the bed even though earlier I was sitting on the library's chair and analysing the changing current scenario of the local affairs. I taunted Masood who got me up from a deep and sweet slumber which was presenting the actual vision of the founders of the country that they had envisioned before the creation of the homeland. Ohh!! I am getting late. Mom is calling me for the breakfast.
