Mustafa Kamal (People wants you to become new Prime Minister of Pakistan)

Some days before (21^st Dec-10) I went Hussainabad (one of food street in Karachi) to get dinner for my Family. There is a person who cooking “chargha” was a bangali by cast. One of his friend asked him “Don’t you going back Bangladesh??”  He said due to facing some problem to get Passport he is unable to go but he said he will go soon. Then the friend told 85 % of Bangladeshis whom he knows are returning to their country.  Then the cook said “nothing is remained in Pakistan... Bangladesh is far better than Pakistan... at least In Bangladesh peoples got respect not like Pakistan etc”. I was just listened all this & shouted on him “Don’t say anything immoral about Pakistan if you have any problem then why are you exist in Pakistan?” some more people who present at location also criticize him and ask what is your problem from Pakistan. He just denied his statement and tells “I am not talking against Pakistan. I am talking against currant Government of Pakistan”. He said what is this government is doing? At a time we send money to our brothers live in Bangladesh now they are sending us. Once PKR (Pakistani Rupee) double than BDT (Bangladesh Taka), but now 1 BDT is equal to 1.3 PKR and may be after some time it will be double.  This government is just filling their personal accounts no one care about the public.

After listen his solid arguments every one become quite and we just say “yeah you can talk about this corrupt government but don’t say anything against Pakistan”.

After some time all of us cracking jokes like cook say “ I got prison in Pakistan 2 times” someone respond “it’s good… you just need to kill your wife may be you become president of a country”.

Then I ask A Question to all of them "whom you think the current best leader of  Pakistan" All of them tell only one name "Syed Mustafa Kamal (The Ex-Mayor of Karachi)" I realize no one is Happy with this government everyone criticize them & all of them has one Name on his mouth “Syed Mustafa Kamal ”. The all people want him to be next prime minister but this is opinion of people in Karachi, whatever they belong to any cast (Bangali, Punjabi, Pakhton, Sindhi or Urdu Speaking) not because of what he is, just because of what he did.

 Mustafa Kamal is an MBA from University of Wales in UK and under graduate from Malaysia. He became the Mayor of Karachi, largest city of Pakistan on October, 2005. Mustafa Kamal led City District Government Karachi (CDGK) completed 2,496 projects in the city during the last four years.

Below are the mentioned some of mega projects done by Mustafa Kamal.

Mustafa Kamal Declared second best mayor of the world by an well known US magazine (Foreign Policy) in 2008. Magazine said the 36-year-old Mustafa Kamal governs a city that’s more often in the news for religious violence than cosmopolitan ways. But the hard-charging Kamal is looking to change all that. He’s courting foreign investment, encouraging international ties, and boosting the city’s tourism.
According to the US magazine Kamal is not shy about his goals: He has said he wants to turn Karachi into the next Dubai. His Green Karachi project aims to plant thousands of trees in the city. Kamal is not letting anything stand in the way of his grand plans. He has threatened to arrest anyone who tries to cut down the new Trees.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has included former Karachi nazim Mustafa Kamal in the 197 ‘Young Global Leaders-2010’ for his performance and executing massive development works in the metropolis. The WEF selects 200 prominent personalities annually, in recognition of their services and declares them ‘Young Global Leaders’.

I would ask people to read this blog not as a political affiliation or statement, because I haven’t any desire to make political statements. I invite readers to look at his contributions beyond his affiliations and personal preferences and be objective in evaluating that where is our country going now.

I pray we got best leaders like Syed Mustafa Kamal soon.

Thanks.

Visit to Interior Sindh - Pakistan (Flood Relief Activity)

Its my first ever blog so If you find any problem kindly let me know so that I can Improve it. 

On 23rd of September 2010 I have to visited some cities for provide training of GPS (Global Positioning Systems) to volunteers of KRT (Karachi Relief Trust) I start my journey at night with my company driver (Asghar), I can say he is not a driver he is a pilot.

KRT Camps at Makli.

First we visited Makli (Near Thatta), it was 0200 PST, the volunteer at Makli location name is Asad. I provide him the training, he was a good learner. as per plan we have to stay at Hyderabad but due to avoid travel in night hours we decided to stay in Makli. So Asad arrange palang (a type of bed) in a shelter. when I try to sleep the mosquitoes didn't allow me to sleep. so we shift in our car for sleep. after take 4 hours nap and take tea at 0600 PST we moved to next destination (Sakrand).

Many families lost their house in this flood

At 1000 PST we reached at Sakrand Camp, this camp is located in a school, when I reached there I ask about the camp In-charge, Mr. Adnan Zaidi (G.M Sales- Multinet Pakistan) was the In-charge of this camp I already know him as a colleague, after a little training session Adnan bhai offers me breakfast, I told him that I already done it but he told me that these stuff is not available in our city (Karachi) just taste it, It was pure honey with desi ghee with garam roti. after just taste it I said wow. after some time I move to next destination (Morro).

At almost 1300 PST I reached at Morro, the camp In-charge was in guest house so just provide him training there and had lunch at Morro, after this I move to next destination (Sukkur). Actually Sukkur was not my destination I need to reach Shukarpur but due to tiredness I decided to take rest in Sukkur, stayed at Red Carpet Hotal Sukkur. 

Camps @ SUKKUR

At next morning we went to Shikarpur, In Shikarpur I was amazed to see that All  volunteers on that  camp including Camp In-charge are talking in English only even with flood victims, victim comes to me and ask in typical sindhi style "Sain tum hamara sath chalo humara bhai ke khoon nikal raha hai" I ask camp In-charge to help him, camp in-charge told him " yes I m coming... where is your brother??" victim said " Sain ek to humara bhai ke choth lag gai hai or ye humain pata nahi kia kia bol raha hai" :-p. after see this type of mishaps and communication gaps I was thinking do they take care of victim according the standard but after I enter in camp area I found every thing managed. 

An Oil Tanker accident @ Highway

After Shikarpur My destination was Qamber but due to camp In-charge unavailability I got call to went Sukkur again. so I reached Sukkur and give a training session to Sukkur Camp In-charge. 

Highway Accident

In my Journey I realize some points and want to share with you all and want some comments on it also.

• In our Interior, I realize that villagers women are so strong then modern / city womens even I can say villagers men. 
• I see most of villagers men just doing smoking, sleeping, playing cards etc.
• Women are selling many Items on road, doing their house jobs taking care of their children.



Phoenix dactylifera @ sukkur

• I seen an Old women (Above 50 Years) carry bundle of woods from a mile distance (In city if any women carry her child she said I m tired)
• Counting of children are much higher then adults. 
• Seen some Highway accidents also. 
• Mostly volunteers belongs from Karachi in camps Installed in these area by any organization.
• I see some people didn't even want to work as In a camp from another Organization a person ask a young flood victim to unload the stuff from truck he said "sain hum to gareeb hai humara ghar khatam ho gaya humari madad karo hum kaam nahi kersakta".
• And Finally I realize that in any problem we are United. 

I invite your comments here so I can over come my mistakes.
