Missing person’ case is Pakistan is increasing day by day and turns into a sensitive issue. When families miss their loved ones, they have to bear great psychological traumas. Kindness of others cannot heal the pain of losing loved ones. Recently, Supreme Court of Pakistan heard the cases of missing persons. Several people have gone missing in Pakistan from Karachi, Faisalabad, Sialkot, Kali Ismail and mostly from Baluchistan, some of which have been traced out but majority of people are yet to be found.

People in Pakistan are hostilely kidnapped or killed, blamed by supporting radical groups. The missing people are picked up by agencies and police. Police searched several houses and arrested the residents from their homes, under the suspicion that these people were involved in criminal activities or supporting criminal groups. When police arrested the persons they ensured the families of the arrested persons, that they will come back but after some time, the persons were reported missing by the police.

In Balochistan it’s a part of routine now days with one or more families having lost their loved ones. Pakistan has undergone massive disaster and is still weeping on the segregation of East Pakistan, and now the missing persons’ case in Balochistan is depicting the repetition of history. If we considered the reasons behind these disasters, one of the main reasons of these disasters can be the lack of rights of provinces and rationalism. In Pakistan, Afghan refugees and weak information allotment between the institutes are also the cause of problems in the law and order situation. When there is a weak law and order situation, the governing bodies can never protect the life and wealth of public.

Most of the missing persons belong to Balochistan. The agencies are working in Balochistan and federal government has played no significant role in the re-establishment of peace and the law and order situation. Government is showing lack of concern with regards to the people’s life, wealth and property which has resulted in several ‘missing persons’ case’. It’s claimed that mostly ministers are involved in the kidnapping of missing persons for the sake of money. Missing person’s families have demonstrated a sitting in front of the parliament house and finally the families of the missing persons knocked the door of judiciary for justice but in return they found bodies of their loved ones.

This so-called democracy is destroying our country and now the time has come to raise our voices against violence and injustice. Missing people’s families should protest and starts campaigns until unless they met their loved ones. As losing a dear one is a feeling with which one can hardly come to terms, the pain and agony of knowing that they’ll not be back again is a bitter truth, hardly ever swallowed.

I never knew a broken heart could keep on breaking.

You keep on sending your love but no ones there to take it.

Rivers of tears keep a steady flow…

But no ones there to know.

It’s you, you who I want to know.

You who I want to see…

All of what I think and feel, It’s you I want here with me.

Not a day goes by without wishing for a hug a kiss, a laugh, a cry…

For soothing hurts, tucking you into bed, or just a simple touch.

Not a night goes by I don’t miss you so…. Much!!!

Or my heart doesn’t break just a lil’ bit more.

Shards turned to ice constantly falling to the floor.

I don’t believe in god, but still I pray.

That some how some day

You’ll be back in my life

For always and forever

And I’ll never let you go again

Never!!!

A blinding interval in which to know and suffer.”

Mirza Ghalib, translated by Adrienne Rich

Consider it the ultimate blinding lightening flash or a slap in the face of the nation, or whatever your intellect or political affiliation allows you to believe, the title of this column is a verbatim quote of Pakistan’s convicted Prime Minister, in response to a question asked by a CNN interviewer in London recently.  The British interviewer had sought the PM’s opinion on media reports that a sizable number of Pakistanis wanted to leave the country because of rampant corruption, political and fiscal mismanagement, breakdown of law and order, safety and security concerns, and lack of appropriate governance in the country.  The convicted Prime Minister, in a matter of fact manner, and with an air of absolute belief in his judgment on the question, quipped “And why don’t they leave…Who is stopping them?”

Let me take you back in time a bit: Marie Antoinette, queen of France, married to Louis XVI, when informed that the people of France had no bread to eat, purportedly said, “Let them eat cake.” This was prior to the French Revolution (1789) when eventually the French people, tired of poverty, deprivations, class society, bad governance, corruption and massive excesses of the nobles and ruling elite, publicly beheaded them.

But that was the 18^th century. France was a monarchy. Queen Marie Antionette’s response was rooted in her ignorance and alienation from the people of France.  What else could have been expected of a ruling monarch that considered the common French citizens as their “subjects,” entitled to no better treatment or rights than “slaves” and whatever the monarchy willed it to be.  Indeed, the king/queen was the embodiment and the law unto themselves – France was king and queen, and king and queen were France – French people existed at their pleasure and perished at their will – and that was that.

In recent times, Reza Shah Pahlavi, the Emperor of Iran, the “darling” of the West and their front “henchman” in the Middle East, prior to the Iranian People’s Revolution in 1979, is reported to have “asked his opponents in Iran to leave HIS country if they did not like him.”  This showed the incredible ignorance and preposterous arrogance of a Shahan-shah who, intoxicated with power and wealth, considered himself omnipotent — Reza Pahlavi was Iran and Iran was Reza Pahlavi.  The state existed for the emperor, and the emperor was the state. In this mental disposition of alarming political and conceptual “madness,” Reza Shah’s personal view of “state” and its citizens is understandable – that is, if one is inclined to believe that a nation can be governed by a ruling elite and its leadership that is gruesomely insane and grotesquely suffers from a complete and lurid lunacy.

The question is: What is Yousef Raza Gillani’s excuse? This is May 2012. Supposedly, Pakistan is a democratic country. The convicted Prime Minister was elected by a democratically-elected parliament – and the Prime Minister’s conviction came after due process of law in the Supreme Court of Pakistan.  Understandably, logically and rationally, that is if one believes in democratic norms, the citizens of Pakistan are not the “subjects” of the incumbent PPP ruling regime or its Prime Minister. The “state” of Pakistan is not Yousef Raza Gillani, nor is Yousef Raza Gillani, the Pir from Multan, the state or law unto himself. Citizens of Pakistan are entitled to full civil, political, legal and democratic rights, and no one, not even a sitting Prime Minister, has the moral-ethical-political authority to tell them Well, you don’t like me, then leave the country.  Who is stopping you?

This is absolute arrogance, unfathomable ignorance, and an inexcusable assault on the dignity of the nation.  But above all, the convicted PM’s emotionally-loaded, ethically-flawed, politically incorrect and sentimental barrage (Why don’t they leave? Who is stopping them?) is a direct consequence of the incumbent PPP regime’s total alienation from the mainstream populous in the streets of Pakistan.

The fact of the matter is that the PPP’s entire political leadership suffers from an incongruity, an incapability and an intellectual-political incapacity to conceptualize a strategic vision of a democratic Pakistan and its democratic-political management.  The PPP incumbent regime is entirely focused on maintaining the political status quo in the country and preserving their political power at all cost, no matter what.  The Zardari-Gillani junta considers “democracy” as a process of skillful manipulations, a craft of buying and selling loyalties, naming a price and paying it out of the national exchequer, and to hold onto power irrespective of democratic ethical-moral constraints or legitimacy of political power.  No wonder then, that today’s Pakistan stands at the verge of a failed state (the CNN interviewer in London insultingly termed Pakistan as a failed society in the face of Yousef Raza Gillani).

The convicted Pakistani Prime Minister’s visit to Britain has raised more questions on the integrity and credibility of the Zardari-Gillani regime than resolved any fundamental or important issues facing Pakistan.  In the first place, British hospitality to Gillani does not provide legitimacy to the convicted Pakistani Prime Minister, nor can it overturn the SC’s conviction. If anything, it made a public mockery of fundamental democratic norms and conventions for which Britain (needlessly) prides itself now.  Contradictions in British political behavior are becoming vividly visible – so be it.

Then there are some other important questions that still further undermine Gillani’s personal political conduct, political integrity and political credibility.  For instance, why did Gillani and Cameron have a lengthy private meeting? Did Gillani once again compromise Pakistan’s national interests and sovereignty on the issue of US-Nato supply routes?  Is Pakistan going to open US-Nato supply routes on conditions laid down by the Americans and their allies? Has there been, once again, secret arrangements and commitments between the US-Nato and Zardari-Gillani regime?  Has Cameron, on behalf of US-Nato, assured political support to Zardari’s incumbent presidency and covert backing to the PPP in Pakistan’s general election? Are the commercial incentives offered to Pakistan by Cameron subject to conditionalities? What are those conditions?   And so on and so forth?

Will Gillani, on his return, publicly share with the nation what was talked about and agreed upon by him and the British Prime Minister? I do not think so.  The Pakistani people are being, once again, cheated by their ruling elite: that is what Gillani’s visit to England was all about – secret commitments, secret understandings, and surrendering Pakistan’s national interests to US-Nato dictates – in exchange for the West’s support of the vested interest groups in tomorrow’s Pakistan.

Indeed, the US-Nato would not like to see a nationalist government come to power in Pakistan because they are fearful that a nationalist government would not serve their geo-political interests in the region.

The question is: Can this stop a transformation of political culture in Pakistan? Can they block a process of “Change” that is already underway in this country?

The Pakistani people are at a crossroads of an ultimate battle between what it is now and what it ought to be tomorrow!!

This is our blinding lightening flash of awareness in which to know, suffer, and prevail over our adversaries!!

We will…we will…we will…!

PML-N leader, Nawaz Sharif has given several statements in the past week from stating that he is ready for the revolutionary youth march as well as being in favor of the new Punjab provinces but not the division of Sindh. Nawaz Sharif reportedly also criticized the head of state for having failed the masses, adding, “President Zardari did nothing for even his ancestral province of Sindh during the past four years.”

At arrival at Sukkur Airport, Nawaz Sharif said that the Pakistan People’s Party government had failed to deliver during its four-year long tenure. “If the PPP government had worked, the patience of the masses would not have been tested,” he said speaking to the media persons.

Nawaz, who returned to Sindh the second time this month, emphasized that equality was elemental for everyone in the name of law. “The country cannot develop unless there is rule of law,” he said

Recently in Lahore, Nawaz addressed his party workers from Sukkur, terming the reinstatement of judiciary a historic milestone. He also said that he is willing to help the government if their 10-point reforms agenda is implemented. ‘Now, we are dependent on foreign aid.’

Continuing is political rally in Islamabad; Nawaz Sharif said on Tuesday that while he had approved the concept of the creation of three new provinces in Punjab, he would never permit the splitting of Sindh. He addressed a public rally in Shikarpur as well, declaring that the restoration of Bahawalpur’s provincial status was the rudimentary right of those people. He also expressed his regret over the accusations flung at him suggesting that ulterior motives lead him to support such a decision.

Relating former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto as his sister, Nawaz had the crowd when he reminded them he had been the first one to reach the hospital upon her death. He also said that while he was one of the earliest arrivals, those escorting her had abandoned her: “These very deserters are [now] ministers, advisors and the key post-holders,” he said, mocking the rulers.

“It is sad enough that despite President Zardari and Prime Minister Gilani’s status, the killers of Benazir have not yet been arrested,” Nawaz said.

Nawaz Sharif has insisted the public time and again and this time also, he urged the masses to back the PML-N in the imminent elections. He said this was the only way to save the country and alter its destiny.

But it isn’t the individuals alone that are taking the masses for a ride. In the world of politics, as the electoral season sets in, the political parties are busy making their nutty political moves. From PTI’s leader Imran Khan seeking an army of ‘seasoned’ and in-practice politician, establishing a power advantage. Then there is the wave of resolutions sought by the Punjab assembly resolutions seeking to create a South Punjab province along with the revival of the Bahawalpur Province involving the geographical borders of the previous state of Bahawalpur. It seems logical and possible because Punjab presently is the largest among the four federating units, even when the other three provinces are put together. This has caused an uneven power balance with regards to the federation. However, the latest suggestion to divide the current Punjab into three provinces seems more like a strike against by the PML-N to the PPP’s majority Seraiki province?

It’s so happens to be a well-planned brilliant strike to stop the PPP unified cry for a Seraiki province in this year of elections. The PML-N demand has put a stop on the movement for the Seraiki province issue along with dividing the Southern Punjab political activists and leading control into two sides: those in favour of the revival of Bahawalpur state as a province and the rest for the Wasaib belt.

Likewise, the united implementation of the resolutions with the active participation of the PPP has the PPP in a tight corner. Instead of making popular demands for the Seraiki province, the PPP is taking a solid stance to the continuance of these resolutions, which will not see any outcome due to limited time because of looming elections. The conceptualization of new provinces is not an easy task to be implemented, even if it’s approved by the National Assembly and the Senate, with a two-thirds majority in each, as actualization of this idea requires several procedural and technical requirements to be fulfilled. Some of the major issues which will have to be overcome are the tremendously difficult and complicated issue of demarcating boundaries; revisiting the water distribution agreement which is another touchy issue in our water deficient country and reconstituting the NFC.

The PML-N struck another victorious blow, constituting as its most influential tactical win when it decoyed the PPP’s Punjab parliamentary leader Raja Riaz into assenting to its demand of developing a national commission for examining the conception of new provinces. Revaluating the results of many other commissions responsible for more narrowly focused and guarded tasks, it is not possible to imagine, if ever, such a commission would come through. With the elections only nine months away, the development of the commission could take up to several months, if not years. Refashioning a country’s map which is already struggling with the one it has currently is a that is futile effort – at least for the current ruling lot.

Jogging helps achieve target goals like fitness, longevity and weight loss. Diet is quiet important for joggers, as they have to eat healthy food, not only to maintain good health but also keep up the performance of strong bodies. A better diet can help in maximizing performance because jogging burns a lot of calories, reflecting good health. Runners need a diet plan, so here is a guide to some of the best foods to help runners make their meals distinguished as healthy diets.

1. Whole Grain Pasta and Bread

Whole grain items in your food fuel your metabolism. Whole grain pasta and bread is easily digestible and satisfying dish that gives the body slow-release of energy which is needed while running. This excellent nutrient-package boosts the energy of runners.

2. Eggs

An Egg fulfills the 10% of daily protein requirement and helps with muscle repair and recovery; also runners get 30 % of vitamin K, which is essential for bone health.

3. Beans

Beans are a great source of, vitamins B, iron, calcium, and copper. Beans provide greater energy and are low in

4. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are good for runners because they are the source vitamin A and C; and iron.

5. Yogurt

Yogurt is good for runners because it has protein, calcium. Runners can mix plain yogurt with fresh fruit for a healthy option.

6. Bananas & other fruits

Banana and other fruits are important for joggers because they have several vitamins, reduce muscle pain, and provide potassium. Fruits like banana are easily digestible. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries have the ability to reduce muscle pain and also protect the body against other injuries or factors that can cause cancer. The high level of water in certain fruits helps to prevent dehydration. The high-water fruits keep the body hydrated. Cherries are important for reducing muscle soreness.

7. Energy bars

Energy bars offers another solution for a pre-jog bite to eat. If jogging more than few miles then joggers need to refuel during the run. But it’s also imperative to read the amount of carbohydrates, protein, fat and calories labeled on the bars, to make the best choice before a jog.

All of above mentioned food are high in nutrients and vitamins that are important in order to sustain life, which can be made a part of daily life by all. These foods have the ability to reduce muscle soreness as well as maintaining good health through a healthy diet increasing performance.

TIP For Joggers: Take clean water with you during your jog.

ENJOY HEALTHY FOOD

Jogging is a form of exercise that engages the body and specifically the limbs, running at a slow speed for an hour a week. In 1970s, jogging became popular, when adults started jogging to lessen their risk of heart attacks and loss of brain function.

A recent study suggests that regular jogging increase the six years longevity. Canvasser reported that slow and average speed per week jogging can increase the longevity of men by 6.2 years and women by 5.6 years. While comparing runners and non-runners, it was found risk of death of runners was reduced by 44% over 35 years compared with deaths among non-runners.

Results of the study found the answer of a very significant question; is jogging good for your health? Concluding that jogging does increases the expectancy of long life.

Jogging has multiple health benefits included:

· Oxygen uptake

· Insulin sensitivity

· Lipid profiles

· Heart function

· Bone density

· Immune function

· Psychological function

The study also reported that jogging not only prevents obesity, heart disease but is also effective in preventing cancer. The probability of cancer is reduced due to physical activities, as the heart becomes stronger and has more capability to pump blood in your body. Large amount of blood effectively push through organs, delivering oxygen to your body cells. So the risk of cancer is significantly reduced.

Jogging can also help prevent several other health conditions prevailing today along with helping protect your health condition in future in the long run. However, jogging is not the only way to keep your body active, i.e. swimming & walking etc. make also help your body stay active and healthy.

The early 2 or 3 weeks, jogging is harsh because during this period you feel uncomfortable with the routine but just take care and do warm-ups. It might take you 2or 3 days to allow your body to adjust to the sore muscles. But after the first month, your body will feel healthier than ever before.

Happy jogging!

On the first anniversary of Osama Bin Laden’s killing, the American President Obama visited Kabul on 2^nd May 2012 to give surprise pat to his soldiers. In the Afghan Capital he also signed a ‘Strategic Partnership Agreement’ with his Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai thus entered the most delicate phase of US-Afghan relationship amidst a decade-long war in Afghanistan. Instead of thanking Pakistan that day, the US preferred to launch another drone attack in FATA killing ten civilians and leaving about the same number injured. Additionally the US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton paid a deep tribute to Pakistan by revising his determination that ‘the US would increase drone attacks on Pakistan side of Afghan border to keep Kabul safe’.

Why this anger, hatred and humiliation from our strategic partner, the US, for whom Pakistan slipped into the so-called ‘war on terror’ in which the later lost its 35,000 civilian lives and about 5000 of its army troops in addition to sustaining $67billion loss of economy in the past decade. Both partners were okay till early 2011 when the issue of Raymond Davis suddenly cropped up. The Pakistani populous felt that issuance of more than 4000 visas to Americans without scrutiny and security during 2009-10 had in fact brought a secret brigade of CIA’s army in the country. Then Osama’s episode of 2^nd May 2011 occurred which was taken as an attack on Pakistan’s sovereignty. The two countries moved apart. The last strike on their mutual relations was seen when the US attack on Salala [on 26^th November 2011] caused death of 24 Pak-army troops including six commissioned officers.

No compensation, even no apology from the US, so the temperature of Pakistani people continued rising. The US drone attacks went on increase instead. Army stood by the general sentiments. The PPP regime, finding the elections nearer, was not in a position to make angry any of the two. The NATO supply routs blocked in November 2011 still going inoperative; Parliament remained in doldrums to take any decision thus America went more furious.

The US exit strategy from Afghanistan could not go smooth either. Direct US negotiations with Taliban in Qatar failed; joint efforts of Pak-US-Afghan Commission could not bring Taliban on negotiation table in Kabul thus direct attacks on the capital increased day by day. US wanted to follow its December 2009 exit plan but had to announce recently [on 2^nd May 2012] through Obama-Karzai pact that US would stay in the region for another one decade. Contrarily, there is enormous pressure from the American public for ‘calling back forces’ and Obama also wanted to avoid this pit fall in coming US elections but had to make a repeated announcement that ‘Afghanistan would not be left alone’.

Pakistan’s policy makers are fantastic. Two years back, the US asked Pakistan to help them bring Taliban on negotiation table. Immediate conclusions were drawn that the US got defeated and so would quit soon; thanks to TV live analysis made by Gen Aslam Beg and Gen Hameed Gul. The Pakistan could not come up with facts; he should have dissociated itself from the whole game. When the disappointed America had opted for direct talks with Taliban to get a way out, Pakistan should have stayed aloof; arresting Mulla Brother and putting him in the jail was misinterpreted on both sides.

That was the reason the US ultimately decided not to include Pakistan or Taliban in the negotiation and thus the Obama-Hamid pact of 2^nd May 2012 [Strategic Partnership Agreement] is out; exit plans are simply extended for another decade. A very cogent question arises; what the US would do here even if it stays here beyond 2014. What has the US achieved in eleven years war so far; what progress has it made in achieving its objectives – zero. The US has plundered its wisdom, budget, honour, its military’s morale and popular will of its public up till this moment and would loose more with time.

During this year of 2012, two odd events took place in Afghanistan; firstly of burning the Holy Qura’an in Bagram Cantonment and secondly of killing of 16 Afghan civilians by an American Officer on duty. The US government offered formal apology to Karzai government for both events but refused to show similar behaviour for Salala Post killings despite Pakistan’s repeated ‘requests’. On 20^th May 2012, US and its allies would assemble in Chicago and announce $4billion yearly aid for ‘rehabilitation & development of Afghanistan’ but what they had given to Pakistan [recall $1.5billion of Kerry Lugar Bill] and what they would allocate for Pakistan’s development; not a penny.

Another most important event in Afghanistan; Taliban attacks on 15^th April 2012 had almost ruined the country. Bomb blasts simultaneously at the Afghan Parliament & NATO HQ campus; the American, British, German and Russian embassies and high ranking hotels rocked Kabul. In Jalabad, suicide bombers attacked the airport building. In Gardez, the Police HQ building was brought to trashes. In Logar province, the Governor’s office was taken hostage. In Hamid Karzai’s Presidential palace, the on going negotiation sessions with Hizb e Islami were shifted to a safe house. The delegation of Pakistan’s lady Parliamentarians had to hide them in Pakistan Embassy. Six attacking Taliban were killed and dozens got injured.

What does the whole scenario speaks; that the Taliban had not gone weak despite the American’s war strategy to crush them. Ultimately, the US again resorted to sit on negotiation table with Taliban but with a changed agenda that the Taliban would later launch a forceful fight with Anti-Taliban groups in Northern Afghanistan. Again the same old tactics of ‘divide & rule’; may not be working well in Afghan situation this time.

Despite such hostile situations in the region, the US & Pakistan expect normalcy in their mutual relationship; an astonishing phenomenon. Both have the parallel demands. Pakistan wants that:

• The US should end Drone attacks now unless Pak-Army consulted first for each attack.
• The US should include Pashtun Afghan Taliban in the negotiation process. It is because the Eastern and Southern Afghanistan parts are still controlled by Pashtun Taliban and Karzai has no writ there.

The US at the same time demanded that:

• Pakistan should open NATO supply rout immediately and without any prior condition.
• Pakistan should use its influence to bring Afghan Taliban on negotiation table in Kabul.

The civil & military heads in Pakistan want to perform both functions of their part without hitch or any performance from the US side but this time both are looking at the public anger in Pakistan; taking no risk at the moment but ultimately bow their heads to seek dollars in military and civil aid. Rather to please the general populace, they have already started releasing ‘secret news’ that Osama’s killing operation was done by the US ‘with cogent help from Pakistan’s civil & military bosses’; Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar’s recent interview is referred in this context.

Intelligence guided media reports kept on building general public opinion in Pakistan that ‘the US would bow down within a month if NATO supplies blocked’ but then six months passed. Neither the US offered apology for Salala attacks nor the drone attacks could be subsided. Estimations went wrong; future estimations in Pakistan and media’s hue & cry both are taken as mockery now. They could not know about dens and ammunition in Lyari and got 3 police officers killed & 58 injured; they were unaware of terrorist’s attack plans on Dargai & GHQ and got senior officers hostaged; they were ignorant of buses full of armed men breaking the Bannu jail and got 382 convicts lost BUT knew well about plans of the US & Taliban and were able to read their minds. How could one believe?

What should Pakistan do now; simply to stick to the nationalist approach. To concentrate on the security of Pakistan’s own people especially in border regions, their welfare and rebuild. Forgetting what is happening in Afghanistan; Afghan Taliban and Karzai and the US would make out their own way. Let the dust settle down. Old philosophies of by-gone Generals [that there should be pro-Pakistani rule in Afghanistan] have outdated now; we have already suffered a lot on this count. Let the Afghan people decide their fate; the world community laughs when we try be ‘their guides’; on what basis; ponder into the above paragraph again.

Life is name of loss, pitch black darkness and battalions of miseries in Pakistan. Although the life of a human being is precious and a gift for mankind from God, in Pakistan it’s value is more than a pawn in the hands of the ruling leaders. Due to such treatment of the masses at the hands of our rulers, even the European countries and USA believe that the Pakistani’s are just the symbol of missiles targets and dishonesty. Considering the violence they shed upon us, they believe, “human life itself has no value”, in Pakistan. But in certainty we are philanthropic and brilliant minded people, with sacrifice and enthusiastic spirit, resisting war and violence, contributing in world peace war.

We are living with load shedding, shortage of water and many other similar problems, which is affecting the whole young generation, especially students and their studies; and closing down of businesses and industries in Pakistan. The major need of these circumstances is to have patience and people of Pakistan are rapidly losing on that front sue to the chaotic conditions prevailing in the state. A lack of patience in the Pakistanis has resulted in clashes, attacks, and disturbance in law and order situations. If we review the law and order situation in Pakistan, two recent disasters which occurred on Sunday, can be sited as the top news of each newspaper. Firstly, in Karachi people were killed in target killing when gun men started fire at a car. Secondly, another tragic event was witnessed in Peshawar, when a remote controlled bomb, which was fitted in pressure cooker, hit the police check post and immediately after blast the whole region of Peshawar was gripped by fear and terror. In the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, many attacks lead to the destruction of schools, bridges, police stations, private and police vehicles, and electricity towers this year.

Pakistan’s newspapers’ headlines flash stories of the countless death in different cities each day. Every day, one reads that in Lyari operation and target killing in Karachi several innocent people died. Recently, many citizens were killed in Quetta by unidentified armed militants. Suicide attack targeting, unidentified armed militants happen to gun down soldiers and the masses. In Hazara sectarian violence, which has also been called a religious separation, death of a person by unknown militants was another hot story. Militant operation in Khyber agency has been continuing for many days but only resulting in losing control of the law and order situation. In Baluchistan confiscation and kidnap and killing is on rise due to conflicts between government and Baloch people on the issue of human rights exploitations, more independences, and more sovereign and in some cases to breakaway. In Waziristan US Drone attacks, which targeted northwest Pakistan, claiming it to be a part of war against terrorism, has killed innumerable innocent people. Gilgit-Baltistan is also facing religious separation issues and the government is trying to resolve this issue by improving a rapidly worsening law and order situation.

Putting all these issues aside, the major reason of making life a misery in Pakistan is that in reality the war is of the politicians fighting for power, amidst which the public is being crushed. The public is also responsible for such worsening conditions because, if they had elected an able leader, using with their mind not emotions, the situation of Pakistan could have reflected a higher value of the people living here.

The effectiveness of learning systems, the justification of web based learning processes, the learners’ satisfaction and the analysis of the educational product are only a few of the most critical dimensions for the design and the implementation of an e-learning course. Web-based learning commonly referred to as E-learning is the use of technology to make people informed and knowledgeable anytime and anywhere in the world. Learning is changing from the closed internal process to the global and open space. It includes training, JIT information and guidance from experts about any topic one desires. The delivery methods for Web-based learning are audio and video conferencing, chat and instant messaging service etc. E-learning is necessary because it is the world of technology. There are 5 steps to e-learning which are:

§ NEED: In this inflationary world, people have limited budgets to spend. So for such learning programs there is need of technology to overcome the limitations of time, distance and resources.

§ PEDAGOGY: E-Learning emerged under the new concept of Learning Ecology and Pedagogy where much of the information can be accessed easily, speedy and freely via Internet.

§ RESOURCES: Enhancements in technological resources and limitations in other resources help to step up towards E-learning process.

§ CREATION: Creation of e-learning programs to help people to sort out their problems is successful step to e-learning      process

§ EVALUATION: Evaluation is done due to competition. Students are more competitive due to vast information and knowledge.

In earlier times, a boom was seen in private tutors delivering lessons at homes to help children in getting better exam grades. Now the phenomenon of e-tutoring because of ease of e-learning is spreading rapidly. The tutors mostly available online are all subject specialists and seemed to have superb knowledge. Cost-wise, it is much more affordable than a private tutor coming to your home. Tutorials use video conferencing and sophisticated software that enables the tutors to use a whiteboard, share links and videos with you and transfer important documents.

The advantages are that you can book lectures online and watch on own time and go on as little or as much as you like. But some tutors take charges for their services like according to research by London University’s Institute of Education; at an average cost of e-learning is £20 to £30 an hour. In essence, this idea has developed employment opportunities but one must also be aware of frauds, i.e. some of the tutors have no knowledge about subjects and they receive the payment but deliver nothing, which is the major flaw of e-tutoring.

In modern view, the benefits of e-learning outweigh the costs. Online tutoring would be a good way of helping pupils fill in those long summer months coming ahead. Excluding the service cost of tutors, other free online tutorials are also available to help out people in solving problems. E-learning is flexible and efficient method of teaching; it increases continuous training and better customization of contents. But in case of Pakistan E-learning is not a priority in the educational sector or an integral part of the educational activities. Pakistan has to step up in this technological era, focusing on the phenomenon of e-learning to improve the budding competition and growth of the new generation.
