A House of mind enrichment

A House of mind enrichment

By Aneel Ahmed Memon

I used to wonder that is their any place in interior Sindh where I can see students totally lost in books? This curiosity leaded me to discover such place in Sindh. Finally, I found a library where a large number of students, with a disciplinary atmosphere, were enriching their minds with knowledge. The historical city of Larkana is famous for its literature, culture and tradition. The educational institutions of city have produced many scholars, scientists and analysts who have proved themselves in different walks of life.

Library provides an easy access of materials to the readers so that they can be aware of books and matter available. As for Larkana, Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto library is catering the need of thousands of knowledge seekers and is giving them well disciplined atmosphere for self study. This Library was established in 1976 and was inaugurated by deputy commissioner Muhammad Hashim Memon.

There was no book available in library. The main cause of this was the dictatorship and this building was under the control of army.

Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed, first time visited library in 1994 during her regime and provided books, furniture and other required materials for visitors so they might rise by enhancing their mental capabilities through treasures hidden in books. Today, more than 800 students regularly attend library to achieve their ambitions and goals in this era of competition.

Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto library has a reference hall having more than 500 seats. In addition, it has CSS, PCS halls, children and ladies sections, periodical section, newspaper hall, auditorium and computer section equipped with internet facility, having more than 100 computers.

There are more than 8000 books of different subjects available in the library which fulfills the needs of readers. These books include literature, history, general knowledge and world encyclopedias. 17 different newspapers in different languages are provided to readers in newspaper section regularly.

Sir Shah Nawaz Bhutto library has witnessed some changes in the infrastructure to facilitate the students of Larkana.

Bohra bazaar of Hyderabad

by KAUSAR ALI,

Bohra Bazaar is one the oldest bazaar of Pakistan. The word Bohra came from the Bohra Community that is known for peace loving and trading around the world. The Bohra bazaar emerged from Soldier Bazaar that is now known as Doctors Lines, area recognized for clinic and laboratories.

First the Bohra community built few shops, then they constructed mosque for their community named as Mohammadi Masjid in 1824. It was constructed by Mamoo Jee family and re-established in 1904 by the Bundook Wala family.

Siraj Ali Mulla is the oldest shop of tools in Bohra Bazaar since 1853. Bohras came here from India, Thatta, Mirpurkhas and Basra (Iraq) and started their business. As Bohras are here since 1850 this bazaar now belongs to Bohra community.

There are all kinds of shop in Bohra Bazaar now. The first bakery of Hyderabad – Zain Bakery was established in 1981 and now it is developed into super store. The 1st weapons shop was Adamjee Valli Jee & Sons set up in 1902 which got first license for selling arms and ammunition in Hyderabad, but now they sell power tools and hardware materials as well as they are general order suppliers.

The first power tool shop was established in 1952 by S.G Abbas &s Co and the oldest printing press is Mansoor Printing Press established in 1948 and now is known as Mufaddal Printing Press. Here you can find any thing that you desire to buy such as paints, hardware, tools, power tools, weapons, aluminums, interior designers, garments, crockery, tiles, ceramics, accessories, machinery, generators, mobiles phones, perfumes, home appliances, electric and gas appliances, furniture, chip boards, wood, glass and many more.

In Bohra Bazaar there are 528 registered shops. Clean and wide roads and are in this Bazaar, which is located in cantonment area. The area is fully secured through CCTV cameras while Cantonment police station is also located over there.

People from interior Sindh, as well as Lahore, Karachi and foreign countries like China, Turkey, Italy, South Korea and Germany visit this market and invest in Bohra bazaar.
The British Government used allow Bohras to establish bazaar in their cantonment areas and provided them facilities according to their business needs, deals, truthfulness and peace.
The Bohra Bazaar also attracts investors and businessmen towards Pakistan.

PATH TO CONSTRUCTION OR DESTRUCTION

PATH TO CONSTRUCTION OR DESTRUCTION
By Sabahat us Saba     EDITED by HINA HAMEED

Science has shown many miracles in every field of life, whether it is chemical, medicinal, agricultural or nuclear field. This has constructive as well as destructive impact on life. We owe a lot to science, all the convenience and comforts.

Upcoming advancement in science is Lithium as a fuel, to meet the need of energy. Lithium becoming the fuel of future, everything from your electric car to kids toy car, lithium batteries are being used to store energy. These miracle devices offer a low weight ratio (they can store more electricity in relation to their weight). It posses dual qualities> Firstly, lithium batteries are disposable and secondly, lithium cells are rechargeable. Lithium technology has become the centerpiece of most mainstream electric vehicles. But it is probably highly flammable hydrogen because it reacts with water to form lithium hydroxide.

Many latest researches are made in the medicinal field: An Australian scientist said: Kangaroos may provide key to a potential treatment to prevent cancer. Scientists of University of Innsbruck in Austria are investigating that sun damaged human DNA can be repaired with kangaroo’s model as they have special repair enzyme which human's lack. Some other resolution is treatment of Alzheimer’s disease with vitamin E. vitamin E may slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms among patients, scientist said "we found no significant increase in mortality with vitamin E it decreases from 9.4 to 7.3%”.

Science triumphs are not limited to medicinal field, it has effects on agricultural field just like “steam power” and “plant cloning”. A cloned plant can yield a thousand new plants from one parent plant, This can accomplish global demand for food for at least coming 40 years. Farmers can produce more crops from less seeds.

Apart from constructive inventions some destructive inventions are also miserable face of science, terrifying weapons of mass destruction has raised numerous ethical questions and is a constant threat to humanity with the danger that it may never stop, and act as our own enemy. Some device designed for the safety, but releases radiations at a level dangerous to human life without a nuclear explosion. It deliberates contamination of food and water. Bombs are made to blast million of people.

In spite of much devastation from it, science is widely and deeply rooted in our daily life routine. Our life seems to be incomplete without Science and Technology as aeroplanes, satellites, computers, mobile phones etc which show that technology dramatically spins around our lives.
