The Contemporary Survival of the fittest

Image
Survival of the fittest, a phrase that is nearly synonymous to the theory of evolution, but despite its common use people have a total    misunderstanding of what this phrase means. Let’s start from where people tend to go wrong. While it may be closely related to the theory of evolution, the phrase “survival of the fittest” was not actually coined by Charles Darwin. In reality, it was made popular by a man named Herbert Spencer, and he actually came with the term years before Darwin published his theory of evolution. As it turns out Spencer’s views were not exactly the most humanitarian. Spencer thought that the Darwin’s theory could also be applied to economic theory.   According to Spencer foundations of evolution lies in cooperating in the ecosystem and bio diversity we are living in and not in the competition and strength. The focus of niches and cooperation not even points out that how ecosystem and evolution work, but it also makes for a better model for how we as humans shoul

BEWILDERMENT'

(BEDAARI welcomes writer's metrical composition) They say I am real You say I am a dream Who am I is still unclear? They say they can see me You say I am yet to be born Am I the key that can set myself free? They say what has been given to me is a gift You say it is a testament of my presence If what they say is true, then why thy self pushes me not to drift? They say lust and eminence is my nourishment You say it is a pit of frustration and desolation Is what they say a blessing or a punishment? They say I am rational and learned You say I am bound in the boundless Do I want to be the fooled who effortlessly yearned but never earned? Amina Saeed.

A bird, brought out of the cage: now it’s time to take the cage out from the bird’s heart.

We have been told that we are independent, living in an independent state where the constituent units are autonomous and sovereign. We live in a country where there is an equity of rights between the minorities and majority; we live in a country where the state provides quality education to everyone living to grow. We live in a country where development and research is encouraged and it is the first one to play its part when the world faces a pandemic by making a vaccine. We live in a country that provides justice promptly to its citizens. We live in a country where there is no room for religious extremism and racism. However, there is so much to add in it because lies outpace the truth, and eventually we need to realize that what is reality and what should be your individual responsibility to fix it up. Today marks the day of resolution for Pakistan and a republic day. The day when the leaders passed a resolution to take out the majority of Muslims who were being treated as subordin

Language, not an art to be mastered but a source of meaning

Image
The social conundrum of speaking accurate kind of language is embedded in our minds that makes it harder for us to acquire it. We treat language that we need to acquire as a hard core thing that can only be mastered and not as a vehicle of conveying the information or knowledge. We have somewhere attached the power of identity with the language. The country in which we are living has given English language an official status, which means that at official level one must be a proficient speaker of English language. English has always been a language of the minority, “the elite” in Pakistan. From day one of their education this language is a part of their curriculum and   life and   they simply function by playing around this language, and on the contrary in the   government schools this language is being taught from the sixth standard through text books where grammar is being taught to them in an explicit manner and they are not much encouraged to produce competence in English language

Gender inequality in Pakistan: Harbinger of Doom

Image
Gender inequality in Pakistan has now become a back burner issue or one can say it has become harbinger of doom. Indeed, women in this country has been in eminently plight in almost every sector i.e. economic, social and religious owing to different deterrents diktat by our society. In fact, women are economically hinge on men, which compels them to compromise on their respect. Moreover, some of our anarchic custom believers has made women's life perilous by regarding them their servant. Furthermore, owing to some religious bigots' misguidance, men become violent towards women because these pseudo philosophers do not bear to see the rise of women in our circle. Hence, Gender inequality in Pakistan is a reality, which should be, addressed scrupulously by government and men in our community should develop a civic sense too. In Pakistan, condition of women is marred and it has been proved by the given data from certain international organizations. First, according to Gender Pari

A MONOLOGUE

What is life? Her mind was brimmed with entangled and overlapping thoughts while looking at the orange fringe of the sky. Lowering her gaze towards the land, she asked herself, what is life? With this inquisition, every motion stopped. Her speaking mind ceased, and her heavy heart pounding weightlessly. The ball she felt in her throat was engulfed but it was stubborn enough to remain there. Everything discontinued and a dormant air blew her way. The interrogation had such a strong influence that every activity turned around into inactivity. Her mind was no more or less than a blank slate and body numb enough to revive the life in a single reel behind retina. The outer inertia left the inner mechanism with no move; neither the thoughts of mind nor the sensation of soul. This termination was supported by long pause of silence leaving the question unanswered. Since Silences have grown within They seem deep and dense but not hollow Sometimes, the thoughts entangle Leaving no room

Gentleman, with IQ more than Einstein and Newton

Image
Two days back marked the birth anniversary of Albert Einstein who was the theoretical physicist and made some remarkable achievements in the field of physics. Therefore, I thought I should give a meticulous read to his work and contributions and what distinguishes all from Albert Einstein in general. In my view, there was no other way to celebrate a researcher’s birth anniversary than researching for the facts. Consequently, when I was researching I got one eminent point and it was the high IQ level that differentiates us from this renowned physicist. I wondered that the possibility of having a high-sky IQ level is just 2/7b that means in the world population of 7 billion there were not a single individual than Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton who could have a high IQ level and amid this research one name popped up and I was just startled, there was a man who had an IQ higher than Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton. A smartest man in the history. You have never heard of him. Albert Einst

Cashing the Disease: a catch-22

I Believe, we everyday experience something, which astounds us. They shape our thoughts accordingly or they simply leave us speechless. Perhaps this is how life goes on. There has been one life account I want to share too. The incident that made me rethink about my prescription of disserving patients We as human beings, always have a soft corner for patients suffering from any kind of disease. The feeling of either sympathy or empathy grasps us while we think of them. Definitely we silently pray for their betterment and try our best to comfort them. However, it is not always this way. Last week I visited a pharmacy in order to pick medicines for my mother who hasn’t been well since quite some time. I had to wait there for few minutes, as I had to wait for my brother to pick me up. While I was sitting there, a man in his early forties with very rough and jagged outfit came there with his front neck swollen badly. He was suffering from goiter, a serious thyroid disorder. It seems tha

TIME TO SPEAK UP!!

Image
Being myself in twenties, I can completely apprehend the things youngsters go through. I have analyzed through my past experiences that teens face many judgments. However, the society we live in, girls are being judged and misunderstood most of the times. Human faces different phases in life. At first, he/she is an adolescent taking all the attentions from everyone. Then grow up a little, absorbing all the energies from the environment whether negative or positive. This phase comes when the child starts to interact with the people of his/her age and size i.e. when kids start the schooling or interacts with peer groups. After this comes the real phase, when a person start developing personality based on what he/she has gathered, positive or negative.   A child when becomes a sensible being, he\she develops a character of what he\she have witnessed while interacting with people, communicating with humans of his\her age. They are misunderstood because the elders want them to be a cert

Population explosion: Opening the flood gates for Pakistan.

Image
Population explosion in current scenario, has remained a back-burner issue for Pakistan. According to the World’s population, as for now, global population has reached almost 7.5 billion and the prediction by University Of Washington says that it will increase up to 9.6 billion by 2064. The contribution of Pakistan in Population bulge will be immense, which is worrying situation for developing state specifically. As per the PBS (Pakistan Bureau of Statistics) reports, Pakistan is on fifth position having 222 million population collectively, with 2.4 percent annual population growth rate. Moreover, this is becoming plight for Pakistan because majority of the people in the state are between the ages of 25-34 years, considered as youth. This situation is instigating trouble to Pakistan as it has no resources to facilitate them and jobs to entertain all. One of the biggest issues owing to the plight of population bulge is Urbanization. As we know, in 21 st  century, purchasing power of peo

Celebrating the indomitable spirit of Women

Challenged world is an altered world, and with challenges comes a change. International women’s day has been celebrated for over a century now. But many people think of it as a feminist movement, where its roots lies in the labor movement. It was first organized in 1911 by the early 20 th  century Marxist from Germany Clara Zetkin who was born in 1857 in Germany’s Wiederau. Zetkin was a part of both Labor and the Women’s movement. Being a co-founder of the international socialist Women’s congress, Zetkin proposed that women’s day be celebrated in every country on February 28, during the conference. The conference comprised hundred women from seventeen countries. The first women’s day was observed in 1911.Two years later, in 1913 the date was changed to March 8, and it continues to be celebrated on same day, every year. Coming to the point, the question arises that why I am addressing the history of women’s day briefly? Please there is no need to wonder as you know the answer. The histo

AZAD AURAT – story of today’s woman

On every 8 th march whole world celebrates international women’s day but there is a lot yet to be done for all the hardworking, strong and independent women, Pakistan has been blessed to have its first Female Prime Minister, from Madir-e-Milat to Daughter of Democracy Pakistan has given enough chances to our sisters and mothers. But the question is, is this enough? In every corner of the world, we have seen that when a mother, sister or precisely a women is capable of doing anything extraordinary the society comes between her dreams , her life and all of above her ambition to touch skies and climb mountains, yes we do face some major loopholes and criticism but for how long? Today’s women is thousand times stronger than what she was a few decades ago, she knows her way out, she understands her abilities and she stands firm against the odds yet she needs support and endless love and affection to move forward securely. She is not fragile when she can gives birth, she is not weak w
