Spend Summer time in Azad Kashmir

Summer season has been started in Pakistan and like every year people think for trip to the northern areas. For summer trip our choices are always very limited like Murree, Nathia gali or Abbot Abad but this is because we are not fully aware with the beauty of Pakistan and less information and awareness about other cities for spending holidays. But today we will take you to a real paradise on earth and that is Kashmir. People do no visit Kashmir because they think that it could have much distance or the basic facilities may not available there but all the perceptions are wrong because neither it is too far from Islamabad nor you can find Kashmir without good infrastructure with many facilities.

How to control misconduct cases in examination centers?

Every year thousands of students appear in examinations and the number keeps on increasing. The purpose of examination is to check how much student has learned but in Pakistan it is taken as game of percentage and grades. This competition led the students towards shortcuts and misconducts during exams. Our purpose is to highlight this issue that there should be a proper examination system for all levels.

For an ideal examination system, few things should be consider before and during exams. Now a day a major problem is sitting arrangement of the students. Congested classrooms and high number of students can raise the cases of cheating and other misconducts. The students take advantage of this and due to no space between them they even share the answer sheets with each other. Second thing to be considered is invigilation. Invigilators are normally appointed from government schools and there is only one invigilator appointed in each hall. One invigilator has many responsibilities like paper and answer sheet distribution, circulating attendance sheet, answering queries, if any, and many more. In such conditions he or she cannot have a proper eye on each student. To control these situations Government should focus on establishing more examination centers and should appoint dedicated and loyal invigilators.

As we discussed few things that could control during exams but precautions should be taken before exams as well. In Pakistan, not everywhere but in few areas the students use to bribe the examiners before paper. Secondly students and their roll number slips are not properly checked while entering in examination hall due to which some fake students are also caught. The other thing is the accessories, the student bring with them in examination hall, should not be other that writing material. In few places the students are caught with books and while talking on mobile phones. So there should be proper measures to check students before exam and Government should take serious action on bribes cases.

Misconduct and using of unfair means during exams and bribes, all are the forms of injustice with those students who prepare for exams throughout the year but in the end they never get the fruit as those who use unfair means.

Make your HEALTHY diet plan

As we are facing many problems these days and one of them is health issue. People are involved so much in their busy routines that they have no time to think about their eating plans. They neither take breakfast nor have lunch and dinner on proper timings. Eating fast foods and snacks take them away from healthy food and that result into many diseases. First of all they start gaining weight and then ultimately it gives birth to many diseases. Some of them join various exercise gyms and some take medicines to reduce weight. But all these are the temporary solutions. The permanent solution is to eat on time but take healthy food.

When we talk about healthy food, many of us think that it will be a diet food including food with no tastes. But here we change the concept. It is actually a food which is beneficial for our health. Eating is one of the most exciting event of one’s life and people never prefer boring food for this. In Pakistan food is given very much importance whether it is at home or it is any event like wedding, party, meetings etc.

You cannot change your diet plan at once. In the start you just focus on eating pattern. Take food only three times a day. Eat whatever you want to but eat in limited quantity and do not take anything else between breakfast lunch or dinner.

Drinking water is a best diet ever. Make a habit to drink water more and more. Do not take any flavored drink but just water. Drink at least 4 to 5 glass of water early in the morning. In the start you may have difficulty and feel urination many times but soon it becomes normal. Using fruits in your diet is also very effective for health. If you feeling hungry between breakfast, lunch or dinner then prefer to eat some fruit.

With the passage of time we will bring more and more tips for healthy diet plans including the usage of various fruits, recipes of healthy but delicious food and some exercise tips.

Swat Valley

Swat is a valley and an administrative district in the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) of Pakistan. The capital of Swat is Saidu Sharif, but the main town in the Swat valley is Mingora. It was a princely state in the NWFP until it was dissolved in 1969.

Illegal Human Organ Trafficking

The organ trafficking is on the rise not only in Pakistan but also in the whole world. Lot of stories of brokers,physicians, an hospitals were locked who were involved in illegal organ trafficking. The profitable organizations providing these illegal services exploit the poor in under developing countries. Despite efforts to boost organ donation and resolutions to control transplant tourism, their implementation has been compromised. In Pakistan, according to the Sindhi Institute of Urology, approximately 2000 kidney transplants were performed only in 2005, of which up to two-thirds were estimated to have been performed on foreigners.

A new law in Pakistan is proposed to protecting the poor peoples, who can be fooled to sell their organs for money. The approval of the organ transplant law by National Assembly was the result of a long struggle. The ball is in the court of government. It is their duty to check the illegal trade of organs. Lawmaking without implementation is purposeless. Carelessness by the health and other offices has led to a revival in organ trade after a pause in recent months. The government should try to low down the poverty that drives poors to donate their organs. Foreigners who come for illegal organ transplants should be tracked and traced.

118 operations of organ transplants were underwent in Taiwan, China and 69 transplants reported that these transplants were eased by doctors. There have also been allegations that some embassy officials of Middle Eastern countries have involved in overseas kidney transplants in Pakistan and the Philippines.

Illegal human organ trafficking cannot take place without official secret approval. But the finger of blame must be pointed at the physicians who carry out such practices to fill their pockets without any regard for the welfare of humanity. The health ministry and the law-enforcing agencies for resurgence of organ trade in Pakistan are strongly criticized. Recently thousands of poors have sold their kidneys, and this illegal practice is openly being carried out at hospitals in the large cities. Many people who had sold their kidneys identified the surgeons who had carried out the transplantations as well as the hospitals where such surgeries were performed.

Some Memories of Moin Akhtar

What should we call him; Best Comedian, wonderful parodist, great artist or legend but if we combine all these we would find only one name and that name is MOIN AKHTAR. He was not only a dynamic and versatile performer but a nice human being. He served Pakistan entertainment industry for several years and left world stage on the evening of 22 April 2011. The nation was shocked on the sudden death of Moin Akhtar from Heart Attack.

When we talk about comedians, Moin Akhtar is the first name comes to mind. As a comedian he performed in many TV shows and dramas. Loose talk on ARY was written and produced by Anwar Maqsood and Moin Akhtar played more than 400 different characters in this show. He was the one who always brought smiles on our faces.

He was a wonderful actor. If we look back to the list of his plays then some of memorable plays are Sach Much, Makan No 47, Half Plate, Rozy, Eid Train and Bandar Road sae Keamari. In all these the character played in Rozy was unforgettable in which he played the role of a female TV artist. Not only on televisionhe also acted in many stage shows like Bakra Qiston Pe and Buddha Ghar Pe Hai.

Moin Akhtar was a proud recipient of the Sitara-e-Imtiaz and Pride of Performance. In an interview with Express Tribune he said “Everything I did is a part of history now. To live with history is difficult but there will be people, who will say one day, there was a man who did it and did it so differently.” Yes! He did everything so differently that we cannot forget. Today he is no more with us but he still lives in our heart.

Sufferings from summer!

Electricity load shedding is a biggest problem for Pakistanis since many years. Each time the Minister of Water and Power claims that the load shedding problem would be resolved by the end of the year but each time it becomes double than before. The only solution left with us every year is Saturday off, shops will close on 8 pm sharp and the clock timings will change by one hour. In such situations it would be foolishness to compare ourselves with developed nations because these countries are so far in the race of progress than us.

It is already 12 hour load shedding in May and 7000 mega watt short fall is claimed then how people will survive in the severe hot days of June, July and august and on the other hand the prices of electricity also going to increase. The industries of Pakistan are badly affecting with this issue but DG PEPCO denied this fact on some TV talk show. Yes we can deny the things unless we suffer them. The Pakistani people have realized that the problem would not resolve but now only thing they want is a proper schedule from power supply authorities. There should be fix timings and a time table of load shedding so that people may plan their tasks according to that schedule.

In the chilling days of winter, we wait for summer but when it comes we only suffer. Children wait for summer holidays but they cannot enjoy this period. Working people wait for Sunday but all day they wait for Monday to be back on work rather to sit home without electricity. So I would end writing here with a new hope that may we get out of this problem soon.
