A Tribute to Dr. Nabi Bux Khan Baloch by Dr. Sahar Imdad Hussaini

Mon, 09 May 2011 09:51:00 +0500

I shall pass through this world but once;

Any good that I can give to my fellow beings,

Let me do it now;

Now; for I shall not pass this way again!

Today we are gathered here to pay tribute to Dr. Nabi Bux Khan Baloch.

Today my heart weeps for Dr. Baloch - an Icon of Sindhi nation; a renowned educationist - who dedicated his whole life for elevation of education, an acclaimed scholar , a linguist , a Latif Shanas , and what not! He was an “ameen” of Indus Valley Civilization.

Dr. Baloch sang songs of that Sindh , which respects its elders, which loves its children, which gives water to a thirsty and bread to a hungry, which equally cares birds and animals; he is a genuine Sindhi by heart! We are lucky enough that we are living in an era ; which is Dr. Baloch’s era.

Dr. N. A. Baloch very enthusiastically collected volumes of Sindh’s history of wisdom, bulk of precious pearls of imagination, Sindh has an enormous collection of its Folklore. Sindh is one of the richest nation of the world which has huge folk heritage.

Dr. Baloch compiled 42 volumes of Sindh’s folklore under “Lok Adab Scheme”. And still a hundred thousand stories,tales, fables, folk songs, Geech, Ggia, Ggaatha’s are buried in the hearts of Sindhi people. So, we need many Dr. Balochs to extract that from the hearts of people. And no doubt he was many in one. A beautiful mind does not age and in fact can become ever more beautiful.

Its our utmost duty to pay respect to these beautiful minds!

Today is Your Day! Sahar Shah

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 04:03:16 +0500

Today is Your Day , O’ Woman!

Today You must Speak Words of Steel,

Fold Your Fingers and Make an Iron Fist,

And Sing a Song that Never Dies,

Today is Your Day , O’ Woman!

Cast Your Weaknesses in an Alloy,

Fill your Eyes with Hope of a Rising Sun,

O! Brave , Beautiful and Bold Lady!

Shah Latif Sing Your Songs Centuries ago:

Though Mountains Block Your Path ,

Do Not Buckle Under Menacing Death ,

Though the Path is Grueling and

The Night is Bleak!

Though Pigs might Tear Your Flesh ,

Do Not Retract Your Bleeding Tracks ,

Keep on Marching , Keep on Marching ,

With Your Eyes on Horizon!

Today is Your Day O’ Woman!

Today You Must Speak Words of Steel!

The Game of Laughter and Tear (my Poem)

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 18:15:06 +0500

From the beginning my Friend,
I have been singing songs for you,
Picking tender buds
I have been making a garland for you.
Eyes lost in waiting
A smile lost in those eyes
And
I am sad like a barren land
Waiting for a Monsoon shower!
For whom did I blossomed beautiful rose-buds?
For whom did I sing songs like a nightingale?
For whom did I flown like a cloud at the heavens?
For whom did I accepted all the pains at the earth and ruptured?
Nobody: for whom I nurtured my feelings of love!
Nobody!
To fulfill the dreams of love
To bear the burden of years
To see bright light in my eyes
To wear the garland of my arms
To win the smiles of misty buds
Embalming songs emanating from though lips!

"Niani Pardhe!"

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:09:01 +0500

When a girl in Benin is taunted for ‘a girl in school’ she makes a word ‘Batonga’ to describe the empowerment education gave her. In Sindh we have to work with same spirit for girls education like “Batonga Foundation” did in Africa. In Sindh parents normally thought “if a girl go to school, what will she get?” Nothing!

Going to school only prevents her from labor for the family or getting married. So its necessary to give incentive to the parents, as they allow their girls to get education. In Ethiopia, a United Nations Foundation Girl Fund Program gives 25$ and a goat or a sheep to the family who allows their teen age daughters to attend school and keep them unmarried for at least two years.

In rural areas of Sindh girls are sold like goats, we have to address it, not through police harassment, not through courts, not through media coverage, but through a UNO funded program as shown above. “Niani Pardhe!” is a slogan for girls education in Sindh. Because an educated girl makes society strong, healthy and vivacious, engages her in civil activities and grow up as a very responsible civilian and send their siblings to school, that will have a ripple effect.

The Angel (title of a poem)!

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 13:32:19 +0600

Hi … Hillary Clinton!

Once again she - The Angel (once my husband called her in one of his poem) - is here in my country (does country means Punjab only!) . This time she came with a heavy agenda of meeting media, women, students, elders, etc. Visit historical and cultural places (of Punjab!)… What cultural places should government show her, when gun-culture is the most popular culture of the country. Among a huge bomb blast at a bazaar of Peshawer - where hundreds of innocent people, women and childrens died - And my heart bleeds! - Clinton met media. The most volatile VJ’s of various channels were there, to meet the secretary of state of US. The top-notch-media-men, who are synonym to blast, fire, trigger - “they talk-they blast” type angry-young-men of media met calm-cool-Clinton! When they triggered she calmly replied:7 billion US aid “does not compromise Pakistan’s national security interests and sovereignity, it does not micromanage any aspects of Pakistan’s military or civilian operations.” She uttered: “You don’t have to take any aid from us.” She pledged support and offered a helping hand. So, she is here once again to fill the gaps, if there is dichotomy!

search of dreams!

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:07:00 +0600

“Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second’s encounter with the God and with eternity.”

The three fell silent.The boy noted that there was a sense of fear in the air, even though no one said anything.Once again he was experiencing the language without words… the universal language.

“Because I don’t live in either my past or my future. I’m interested only in the present. If you concentrate always on the present, you’ll be a happy man. You’ll see there is life in the desert, that there are stars in the heavens, and that tribesmen fight because they are part of the human race. Life will be a party for you, a grand festival, because life is the moment we’re living right now.”

(Paulo Coelho - The Alchemist)
