Hassan Nisar Advises Imran Khan

Today, it is the fact that Pakistan needs a drastic change to bring the country back on track and to realize those dreams which led the creation of Pakistan. Our nation had been, due to its own repeated mistakes, very unfortunate over the last six decades. If looked from the above, then Pakistan seems to be an estate of some blessed, or cursed, families who continue to rule the masses by their turn. It was understood and no one dared to challenge the unwritten rule that after Z. A, Bhutto, his daughter will ‘rule’ the nation. After the murder of Benazir Bhutto, it would be his husband taking care of the national matters while senior and brilliant politicians like Aitzaz Ahsan would sit in last rows. And, When Bilawal Bhutto Zardari would finish his education, he would be a source of inspiration for seasoned and learnt politicians of Pakistan Peoples Party.


On the other hands, Sharif brothers had the monopoly on the Pakistan Muslim League. Not a single politician from the lines of PML could dare to think that he could be the head-of-the-state. It was quietly understood, and secretly agreed upon that after one Sharif, there would be the other Sharif who would lead the nation. It seemed that ordinary citizens are born only to be ruled and ‘subject’ of Bhutto-Sharif kingdom until Imran Khan emerged as a third political force in Pakistani political arena. Now Khan is looked upon as the final resort, and as the last hope.

Hassan Nisar, a leading columnist, in his column published in Daily Jang on Monday, January 16, 2012, advises Imran Khan to be careful in the way ahead. Hassan Nisar highlighted the fact that the economic and institutional situation of Pakistan is really in a mess. On the other hand, however, people have great expectation out of Imran Khan. It will be highly illogical to expect any miracle over night, if Imran Khan comes in a position to run the affairs of the state. Thus, the responsibility lies on the shoulders of Khan, that how he leads and educates the masses who are eagerly waiting for some good news.

Avenue des Chams-Elysees Paris at the eve of Christmas-2011 and to Welcome 2012


Following pictures are of the ‘Avenue des Chams-Elysees’, considered, or marketed as the most beautiful avenue in the world. French people take pride in calling it as ‘La plus belle avenue du monde! I can not say if it is really the most beautiful avenue of the world - as I will have to personally visit the other beautiful avenues of the different countries. However, one thing is for sure; it is certainly one of the most beautiful, and expensive avenues of the world.

Avenue des Chams-Elysees is decorated every year at the eve of Christmas and the arrival of the new year. Hundreds of thousands tourists from different countries across the globe to welcome the new year and make new year resolutions in Paris, the city of lights and love!

Following pictures were taken at the eve of Christmas 2011. This time Avenue des Chams-Elysees was decorated in a slightly different way. Have a look.


This name block tells us that this avenue is located in 8th district of Paris.

Here, one could see the entrance into Parisian Metro, alongside the avenue Chams-Elysees
This time, I mean for the Christmas 2011, and to welcome 2012, Chams-Elysees had been decorated in slightly a different way.

Dreams; Some Thoughts About the Reality and Nature of The Dreams.

To see something in the condition of sleeping is called dream. There are different sayings about dreams some people say that the reality of dreams is always opposite to it. Some says that dream is the signs of upcoming events. While among Muslims some people have a religious point of view towards dreams .According to my views and experience the saying that the reality of dreams is always opposite to it is not correct.

According to some thinkers when one thinks and rethinks on a problem and does not find the solution of the problem. After a lots of result-less effort, when one is tired and goes to the bed, having those thoughts in mind, he is more likely to repeat it in the dreams. Sometimes, it is even helpful, and one can find out the best solution - or even a hint leading towards that solution - which he/she had been trying during the day time.
Bernard Shaw says ‘the voice come first, and I find the reason after’. When someone works very hard upon a problem and fails to get a result of it. Then there is a possibility that he can go into the condition of sleep because he was very tired but his mind was there in the problem. His brain nerves were active in finding the solution of the problem. I think this is the stage when someone gets some ideas by the Grace of ALLAH Almighty.

For example Richard wanger who was a famous German composer. HE himself writes in his book Newman that he had been working years on a composition but he was not succeeded .But one day September 4, 1863 he reached a hotel and could not sleep in night because of fever and noise and in the next day afternoon he sleep and finally the idea of famous composition Rinegold came to his mind.

There are so many examples of such persons who get some help from Dreams. Some time sleeping produces good result .Sir walter scott says to himself never mind, I shall have it at 7 o’clock tomorrow morning . Gauss, one of the great mathematicians writes that he found the idea of ‘Law of induction’ in a dream on 23rd January 1835 before rising .Helmholty says, ‘often ideas come as soon as one wakes up in the morning‘.

So dreams comes to all people whether they are Muslims are not .Any one can see signs in dreams by the Grace of ALLAH Almighty. And the saying that the reality of dreams is always opposite I think does not have much weight in it.

Moveable Bridge Near Stade-de-France, St. Denis; Some Pictures Of Opening & Closing of the Bridge!

Yesterday, I happened to visit Leroy-Merlin Saint Denis, to make some purchases for the renovation of my apartment. After having a visit in the shop, of Leroy-Merlin, I had some time for my next engagement. So, I decided to roam around the well developed ‘quartier’, to have a look on the world famous Stade-de-France and to know more about the area and the businesses. And, in this course I came across a moveable bridge.
This moveable bridge is built on a canal, which is not very far from Leroy-Merlin or the Stade-de-France. It might take 5-10 minutes walk from the Stade-de-France.

Though it had not been the first time I visited this canal, but it was the first time I saw the whole process. I saw the opening and closing of the bridge which did not last more than 10 minutes probably or so. Actually, I was busy in taking pictures, that I forgot about the time factor.

Here are the pictures of the bridge, and it will help you understand how it really happens!!



The engine of the bridge; it controls the movement of the bridge!

This is another pictures of the mechanism, controlling the movement of the bridge to let the ships and boats pass under it!!

Unfortunately, I had been a bit late and could not make the picture of the ship when it was passing from the place of the bridge. However in this photo you can see that the ship has passed, happily. You might be wondering, from where did I make this picture. Well, I had been standing on another bridge, which is higher and not removeable!!!





 The moveable bridge is back on its original place! Soon, it will be open for traffic!
 Here you see the barriers are opening up !! The people have already started to walk :)
Well in this picture - you can see that people have started to walk on the bridge. A car is also going on. And, after making this picture, I also started to move away :)

If you are interested to learn more about the moveable bridges, then you can visit the title of moveable bridges at wikipidia.
