  حیدرآباد کے نئے اور پرانے پارک
حیدرآباد سندھ کا دوسرا اور پاکستان کا 5واں بڑا شہر ہے ، حیدرآباد شہر تاریخ کے حساب سے قدیمی شہر ہے ،یہ 1768ء میں میاں غلام شاہ کلہوڑو کے دور سے تاریخی وجود میں آیا جو شروع میں نیرون کوٹ کے نام سے بھی پہچانا جاتا تھا۔پاکستان بننے سے پہلے حیدرآباد ہندوستان کا پیرس مانا جاتا تھا ، کیونکہ کے اس کے راستے اور سڑکیں دریاہ سندھ کے پانی سے دھوئے جاتے تھے۔
 

حیدرآباد کی مجموعی آبادی 25لاکھ کے قریب ہے جس میں سے 60.07 فیصد لوگ شہری علاقوں سے تعلق رکھتے ہیں ۔ کراچی کے بعد زیادہ شہرہی علاقوں سے تعلق رکھنے والی عوام کا دوسرے نمبر پر شہر کراچی ہے۔ حیدرآباد میں کافی عرصہ قبل تفریح کے لیے کئی پبلک پارک بنائے تھے جن کی تعداد اچھی خاصی تھی جن میں گل سینٹر کے قریب پریم پارک ، گول بلڈنگ پر رام داس پارک، پکے قلعے کے قریب ہوم اسٹیڈ ہال پارک، تین نمبر تالاب پر مکھی کا باغ،گدو کے قریب گدو پارک،نور محل سینیما کے قریب شام داس پارک، کالی موری پر ڈھولن داس پارک،پھلیلی کا قریب دلشاد پارک اور تروٹ باغ وغیرہ جیسے پارک لوگوں کو تفریح کا مرکز ہوا کرتے تھے مگر اب ان پارک کا نام و نشان تک باقی نہیں رہا نہ اب وہ لوگ بچیں ہیں جو ان جگہوں کے بارے میں معلومات فراہم کر سکے یہ تمام تر مقامات اپنے وقت کے بہترین انتظامات اور مکمل تفریحی سے مزین تھے۔ اب ان کی جگہوں پر کہیں شاپنگ سینٹرز تو کہیں رہائشی پلازہ تعمیر کردئیے گئے ہیں۔ 

حیدرآباد نورانی بستی میں2009ء کے بعد مصطفی پارک کے نام سے ایک فیملی پارک کا آغاز کیا گیا جو اپنے ابتدائی دور میں ایک شاندار پارک تھا۔ اس میں فیملیز اور بچوں کے لیے تفریح کے بھرپور انتظامات موجود تھے مگر کچھ عرصہ بعد ہی انتظامیہ اور عوام کی غفلت کے باعث یہ پارک بھی تباہ ہوگیا اور اس کے اطراف کے لوگ اور بچے ایک اور تفریحی مقام سے محروم ہوگئے یہ پارک آج بھی اپنی جگہ موجود ہے مگر یہ آج کھنڈر کی صورت اختیار کر چکا ہے، نہ وہاں کوئی آ سکتا ہے نہ جا سکتا ہے اور انتظامیہ اس پارک کے حالات کو بہتر کرنے اور اس پر غور وفکر کرنے سے قاصر ہے۔
 

اور اب موجودہ وقت میں صرف قاسم آباد کے قریب رانی باغ، قاسم چوک پر عسکری پارک ڈ یفنس میں ڈیفنس پارک، گنجو ٹکر پر ہل پارک، نیو حیدرآباد سٹی میں حیدرآباد سٹی پارک موجود ہیں ۔جن میں سے بھی ہل پارک، نیو حیدرآباد سٹی پارک ختم ہونے کے مقام پر پہنچ گئے ہیں اور صرف اب رانی باغ ہی تفریح کے لیے موجود ہے۔ رانی باغ پارک کا وجود 1861ء میں ہوا جو شروع میں داس گارڈن کے نام سے پہچانا جاتا تھا بعد میں اس میں خوبصورت پرندے ، نایاب جانور اور مزید پودے اور درخت بھی لگائے گئے ۔ 

رانی باغ 53 ایکڑ کی اراضی پر مشتمل ہے جو 4 مختلف حصوں میں تقسیم ہے جیسا کہ انیمیل ایریا، پارک ،گارڈن اور پلے لینڈ ایریا، عید گاہ ایریا ، عباس بھائی پارک ہے۔ رانی باغ کے حوالے سے وہاں پر موجود تفریح کے لیے آئے ہوئے لوگوں سے چند سوال کرنے پر انہوں نے بتایا کہ حیدرآباد شہر میں تفریح کے لیے پارک یا تفریح گاہیں موجود نہیں ہیں صرف رانی باغ ہی ہے جس میں ہم تفریح کے لیے آتے ہیں، کچھ لوگوں کا کہنا تھا کے رانی باغ بھی کچھ عرصہ قبل بند ہونے کے مقام پر پہنچ گیا تھا پر موجودہ وقت میں پارک پر حکومت نے دھیان دیا ہے اور پولیس کے حوالے سے بھی اچھے انتظامات ہیں اسی وجہ سے ہی فیملیز آنا شروع ہوئی اور یہ بھی کہا کہ رانی باغ کو اور خوبصورت بنانے کی اور مزید نایاب جانور اور پرندے لانے کی بھی ضرورت ہے جب اس حوالے سے ڈائریکٹر سے یہ بات پوچھی گئی تو انہوں نے بتایا کے ہم نے متعلقہ افسران کو اس بارے میں لکھا ہے اور انہوں نے جلد مزید نایاب پرندے اور جانور مہیا کرنے کی یقین دہانی کرائی ہے۔
 

حیدرآباد میں کچھ عرصہ قبل نیوحیدرآباد سٹی بھی تفریحی لحاظ سے اپنے عروج پر تھا مگر حکومتِ وقت کی غفلت اور معقول حفاظتی انتظامات نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے مختلف قسم کے تصادم کے بعد بند کردیا گیا۔ اس پارک کا مالک کوثر بھٹی تھے جنہوں نے اپنے ذاتی خرچے سے اس پارک کا قیام کیا تھا۔ہل پارک بھی زبوں حالی کا شکار ہے وہاں پر تفریح کے لحاظ سے کسی قسم کی سہولیات موجود نہیں ہیں۔لوگوں کا کہنا ہے کے حیدرآباد سندھ کا دوسرا بڑا شہر ہے اور اس شہر میں تفریح کے لیے کوئی خاص انتظامات اور جگہیں موجود نہیں ہیں۔ پہلے کے دور میں پارک موجود تھے مگر ان میں سے کچھ باقی نہیں رہے اور جو ہیں وہ بھی انتظامیہ کی غفلت کے باعث ختم ہوتے جارہے ہیں۔عید کے دنوں میں لوگ پارک وغیرہ میں بچوں کو لے کر ان کی خوشیاں دوبالاہ کرتے تھے مگر اب موجودہ وقت میں ایسی جگہوں کی کمی کے باعث لوگ گھر وں پر ہی محدود ہو کر رہ گئے ہیں۔ 

حیدرآباد کے لوگ گرمیوں میں مجبوراً تفریح کے لیے گھارو پارک یا ڈریم ورلڈ جیسے مہنگے پارک کا رخ کرتے نظر آتے ہیں جب کہ حکومتِ سندہ کو چاہئیے کہ وہ حیدرآباد شہر کی عوام کے لئے ایسی جگہوں اور تفریحی مقامات کا اجراء کر کے لوگوں کو تفریحی مواقعے فراہم کرنے کی اشد ضرورت ہے۔

A 73 years, Professor Dr. Allah Dino Memon  is an honour Secretary(Board of governors) in Sindh Grammar School Qasimabad, Hyderabad. Belonging from Unnarpur, district Dadu. He received his degrees of B.Sc and M.sc from UoS.  And M.SC and DIC in petroleum Geology from Imperial College of Science, London in 1968. He joined UoS in 1970 as a lecturer. And after that did P.HD from Romania.

He got Retirement in 2002 as a professor and chairman. Because of a devoted nature he never faced any difficulties in his career. Having nice family background provided him etiquettes. With a glowing heart and gracefulness on face he won hearts of his colleagues and also students. His way of teaching was proficient as compare to other teachers. Students were like a friend to him. If any of the student captured his mistakes he used to encourage them. Side by side he was very strict. In his career he never made any compromises.  Education and duty always comes first, he believe. Being a good teacher he also proved to be a nice Father and now grandfather. His sons are engineer and a doctor. Like him, his sons are also successful. Dr.  A.D Memon says that he is enjoying his life with his Grand children. Mr. A.D Memon always treated others so courteously(nicely) that’s why today he is having the fruits of life. He feels very much relax. He spend his time in reading books and newspapers.  He is generous person with a glistening face. This is what I can say a “Perfect Life after Retirement”. So if every person tries to create judiousness and elegance in their nature they can also get the fruits of life. Remember, people are lucky when they have their “owns” at an Old age.

As Dr. A.D Memon was pure sindhi and loved his culture and Sindh alot so he wrote book for his students named “ Petroleum Geology and the Hydrocarbon Prospects of Sindh”. Which is also available in libraries of University of Sindh, Jamshoro.

Lady Driver, Beware! by Sonahri shaikh

Lady Driver, Beware!

Feature, by Sonahri shaikh

2k11/MC/93

Lady driver are most noticeable on roads in their driving. Being a woman and performing a man’s deeds is quiet funny but risky. According to the google mostly road accidents are thought up by lady drivers. May be, but why it happens and how?

Some people says that a women are not careful while driving. They don’t have the sense of crossing, overtaking, turning and parking. One of my friend said that “women get panic on horns and they get confused if someone overtakes her car. So it is better to stay 2 miles away from a lady driver”. What if same question I ask from all the male drivers, that in their whole driving experience havent they become confuse just for a second?

Obviously, if a bike or a car overtakes you surprisingly, the driver would be confused for a seconds. But a woman will take minutes to get fine..

In my experience I have seen many male drivers who perform lame activities during their drive like unwanted horns, turning and crossing without indicators, parking in no-parking area and breaking the signals. 

One of my friend shared that while crossing the chowk a car overtook her sudden that she got in panic and parked the car on the road side. She noticed that all the people who crossed her was commenting and blaming her for the incident. She felt abysmal that why is she blamed? Just because she is a lady driver?

Why we always blame girls in every aspect? Do I take it personal? Or I should take it as a common foolishness in human’s mind.! Same mistakes and stupid activities are also performed by the male drivers on roads than why we only blame a lady driver?   

Women just don’t need a space in one’s heart but in other aspects too. If we stop blaming others and pay attention on our mistakes and become careful than it would not be difficult to have a peaceful drive. According to my resaerch and google, nowadays Women are participating in car racing  and there is a lady named as Zahida Kazmi who is hailed as a first lady who drives taxi in Pakistan.

It is not women who messes on roads, it is you. So think about it boys.

BODYBUILDING

                               BODYBUILDING

Syed Aqeel Hussain  

Nowadays, people use different methods to become fit and smart, and bodybuilding is one of them. Bodybuilding is the act of building up muscles by working out and shaping one's diet to put on more muscle mass. Often, bodybuilding is done for recreation, for personal betterment or as a competitive sport. Bodybuilding makes not only a fit body but also fit mind. The word bodybuilding itself defines everything. It is so easy to understand the meaning of this word and what this sport is about. Bodybuilding is the best sports when it works to make your body proportionally shaped and fit.

The sport of bodybuilding is judged on the bases of physical appearance and demonstrations of the participants. There is currently a campaign to have bodybuilding adopted as an Olympic sport, but, this campaign is facing strong resistance by some sectors. . Bodybuilding as a sport is not athletic  therefore, it should not be confused with lifting sports or strongman competitions. The focus on bodybuilding is a specific aesthetic and balance of muscle mass.

 Eugen Sandow was the Father of modern  bodybuilding. It  is  the life changing activity.

Following are the benefits of bodybuilding:

1.    Better looking body

2.    Strength of muscles

3.    Increased production of anabolic hormones

4.    Harder bones and tendons

5.    Better posture

6.    Happiness

Bodybuilding  has undoubtedly  great benefits. It makes us more muscular, generally, better looking and also more confident, stronger , healthier and happier.

On other hand, there are also some defects of bodybuilding, many people especially youngsters do not follow the rules of bodybuilding and get injured, sometime, it causes serious injuries . Some people use steroids and other supplements for increasing their body mass, that is very harmful for  health and it causes different kinds of harmful diseases like cancer.

Discrimination In Education In Our Country

Discrimination In Education In Our Country

Zahra Khuzema

Why every parent thinks a hundred times before admitting his/her child to a school ? , if there are two options kept infront of them that is private school and government school, parents would prefer private school over the government school. 

The root cause why parents do so is that they doubt the quality of education given in the government school, not only the education but the environment as well in which their child would be brought up to be an unknown person. The parents which can afford private schools they go for it, but the lower class people have no option but to admit their child in government school. Children studying in government school face many problems, few of them are listed below :

·       Teachers which are not trained

·       Politics in the school

·       Corruption highlighted

·       Lacking staff attendance

There are many other problems as well, the students studying there have to suffer. The syllabus in government schools is same throughout the years, it is so similar to the one in stoneage (old) that the mother of 1970’s hasw also studied it and the daughter of 2013 is still studying the same. The standard of this course is pretty low, lot of grammatical mistakes, seldome incorrect sentence construction. Most of the times the text books are in urdu and if in english then it is the worst written english. It does not matter much that how the texty books are printed, the thing which matters that how the teachers convey their lecture to the students.

Coming back to square one, the syllabus throughout the coun try should be same, so that the education system which has been divided in the name of caste, class and status can come to an end. The discrimination among the upper class and the lower class has been reached to an extreme, this can only overcome when government will take the initial step which is that atleast the teaching plans and the syllabus should be same and equal for the entire Pakistan. The day is not far when the literacy rate of our country will start escalating.

Thar A Backword Territory

Thar

A Backword Territory

Zahra Khuzema

In my view , Thar is a place composed of traditions, customs, rituals, poverty, illiteracy and moreover the place is fully underdeveloped. But when i was'nt aware of it i thought it would be like a place full of castles and forts, kings and their soldiers, because i did'nt had an idea about what would Thar look like. It was a December morning when i was about to leave for Thar with my college mates, carrying alot of fantacies in mind left for Thar. It was around 12pm when we reached our destination, the time duration between Thar and Hyderabad was around 4 and half hour and the distance is 345 km. Thar is the 18th largest subcontinental desert.

When i stepped out of the bus, my all fantacies were in ruins !, i only saw desert & desert uptill my sight could reach. It was so sweltering that it was hard to say that it was december !. The dry weather and on top of that the scorching beams of sun made me wanted to go back home. As my instructor were originated from Thar so he knew everything about it, he monitored us towards a school, he wanted us to see that how students studies there in vile conditions.

After taking a long distance on foot finally we reached to a shoddy structure, inheriting just two classes, each class comprising a charpai (A cane bedsted) and so called blackboard which actually was'nt a blackboard but a part of the wall painted black. Inadequate strength of students as well as teachers. No bathrooms, proper water supply, electricity, the main assets were defficient. It was an alleged school where students were only taught to read and write their names properly. The inhabitants there were very welcoming, they did their best to satisfy and comfort us, we also had our lunch in that school, ate while sitting on the floor it was an entirely different experience of my life.

After completing our lunch we headed to meet the residents and to see the way of their living. When we touched there, it was not a house but huts where almost 5 to 6 families resided, there were a total of 3 huts, one had a charpai and a rough kind of a blanket to shield them from cold, i was stunned to see that how uncomfortable and bristly that blanket was. The next hut was a kitchen where they had a wooden stove, chakki (wheat grounder), some cooking utensils and a walled fridge that kept things cool, it was made inside the wall by digging it a bit hollow it also had a door to keep the eatables safe. We were amazed to see a fridge working without electricity.

We were surprised to see that how these people survived without the essential needs. It was time to return after capturing some unforgettable snaps, we also had brought some chocolates and toys from Hyderabad for the kids, the kids did'nt know what these things were, they started eating chocolates along with wrappers, and the toys which had a proper way to play they started throwing it at eachother not knowing how they work.

The thing which appealed me the most was the concord and amity in their lifestyle. Apart from the fact that they were illiterate and emblematic kind of people, in urban areas people have got high standards of living but have got no peace !

فیچر: "پلا"کا پلہ بھاری نہیں رہا

المنظر کا خوبصورت منظر ہو اور "پلا"مچھلی کی اشتہا انگیز خوشبو۔زائقے کے اعتبار سے مچھلیوں کی ملکہ تصور کی جانے والی یہ مچھلی جس کا حیا تیاتی یا سا ئنسی نام tenualosa ilshaہے۔اس کا شہرہ صرف سندھ تک ہی محدود نہیں بلکہ اسے بنگلہ دیش اور بھارت میں بھی بہت پسند کیا جا تا ہے۔اپمے ذائقے اور خوشبو کی طرح اس کی زندگی بھی منفرد نوعیت کی ہے۔یہ مچھلی میٹھے اور کھارے دونوں پا نیوں میں رہتی ہے۔یہ اپنی زندگی کا زیادہ حصہ کھارے پانی میں گزارتی ہے۔مقامی لوگ اسے طاقتور مچھلی کہتے ہیں جس کی وجہ یہ بتائی جاتی ہے کہ یہ پانی کے دھارے کی مخالف سمت میں سفر کر کے سمندر سے دریا میں داخل ہوتی ہے۔

پلا مچھلی کو بنگلہ دیش کی قومی مچھلی کا درجہ حاصل ہےاور اسے مغربی بنگال،اڈیسہ،تری پورہ،آسام(بھارت)میں بھی بہت مقبولیت حاصل ہے۔اس کے اندر بڑے تعداد میں باریک باریک کانٹے ہوتے ہیں لہذا اسے کھانے کے لیے خاص مہارت کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے۔ تاہم اسے شوق سے کھانے والوں کے کیے یہ بات کوئی معنی نہیں رکھتی اور اسے اس طرح پکایا جا تا ہے کہ کانٹے زیادہ سخت نہیں رہ پاتے۔بنگلہ دیش کے تمام بڑے دریاوں میں یہ مچھلی عام طور پر پائی جا تی ہے۔مثلا پدما دریا(زیریں گنگا)،مہگنا(زیریں برہم پرا) اور گوداوری۔تاہم پدما دریا میں پائی جانے والی پلا مچھلی کو بنگلہ دیش میں سب سے زیادہ لذیذ تسلیم کیا جاتا ہے۔بھارت میں روپ نارائن دریا،گنگا،مہاندی،چھلکا جھیل اور گوداوری دریا میں پائی جانے والی مچھلیاں لذت کے اعتبار سے خاصی شہرت رکھتی ہیں۔پاکستان میں ضلع ٹھٹھہ میں پلا مچھلیاں سب سے زیادہ تعداد میں پائی جاتی ہیں۔بھارت اور بنگلہ دیش سے تعلق رکھنے والے بہت سے ہندو خاندان کے لیے یہ خصوصی اہمیت کا حامل ہے مطلب یہ کہ پوجا پاٹ کے روز یہ لوگ پوجا پاٹ کے دوران بھی یہ مچھلی اپنے دیوی دیوتاوں کو چڑھاتے ہیں۔

اس مچھلی کے بارے میں کی جانے والی تحقیق سے پتہ چلا ہے کہ اس میں کافی مقدار میں تیل ہوتا ہے جس میں فیٹی ایسڈ(اومیگا3فیٹی ایسڈز)کی حاصی مقدار ہوتی ہے۔اومیگا3فیٹی ایسڈز کے بارے میں حال ہی مہں تحقیق سے پتہ چلا ہے کہ یہ جانداروں میں کولسٹرول اور انسولین کم سطح پر رکھنے کے ضمن میں معاون ہوتا ہے۔یہ مچھلی بھارت پاکستان اور بنگلہ دہش میں مختلف طریقوں سے پکائی جاتی ہے۔کہا جاتا ہے کہ اسے پکانے کے 50معروف طریقے ہیں۔اسے کم تیل میں آسانی سے تلا جا سکتا ہے کیونکہ اس میں خود کافی مقدار میں تیل ہوتا ہے۔آج کل یہ حال ہے کہ پاکستان میں فروخت ہونے والی 80فیصد پلا مچھلی برما سے در آمد کی جاتی ہے۔یہ حقیقت بہت کم لوگوں کو معلوم ہے کہ کراچی،حیدر آباد اور ٹھٹھہ کے ہوٹلوں میں اور سٹکوں کے کنارے فروخت ہونے والی پلا مچھلی دریائے سندھ سے نہیں پکڑی گئی۔کہا جاتا ہے کہ صرف ماہر ملاح ہی مقامی اور در آمد شدہ پلا مچھلی میں فرق کر سکتے ہیں۔

tring tring…Hello!

Feature by Maham Jabeen

Basically, Communication is vital since man’s dawn and we human beings are social animal also. Communication is our basic need either through words, pictures, symbols and electromagnetic waves.

Telecommunication is communication through electromagnetic waves; is an industry which means communication by mean of cell phone, internet or radio... it is among the fastest growing industry in Pakistan. 

Mobile Phone (cellular device) which is not new to us as it is now becoming the central part of our daily routine not only because, it helps us to connect with other people but also with the unbelievable features which are introducing daily its getting more and more importance.

When we take glances of the last decade, once a classy product, the mobile phone, is now practically with-in the reach of every person of the society, and are believed to be a basic communication vital tool.

In 1991, GSM (Global system for mobiles) was introduced in Europe and within four years the Egyptian company, Orascom Telecom in 1994 first time invested in Pakistan’s telecom market with the name of Mobilink.  Ufone was second company, which was established with govt. assistance. 

According to current figures:

Mobilink has 3 crores and 30 lakhs susccriber; Telenor has 2 crores and 90 lakhs subscribers, Ufone with 2 crores and 40 lakhs subscribers, Zong has 1 crores and 70 lakhs and Warid stick up with 1 crores and 50 lakhs customers.  

With the increase in cell phone users the abusive use of technology has been observed. People use their phones for purposes like flirting, fraud and in terrorism activities as well. 98% of the users are using prepaid sim in Pakistan and only 2% using postpaid sim and according to companies (ARPU) average revenue per user was 15 rupees. Rumor was heard that govt. soon going to convert all prepaid sims to postpaid which may raise the prices of calls and messages. 

Mobile number portability known as MNP (Malaysia Nigeria Pakistan) is the service which allows you to retain your old number when changing from old network, this service in South East Asia was first introduced in Pakistan. Warid is the network which suffering from loss due to this service, and Zong through this service gets high advantages.

Everyday new development and improvement in mobile phone models and technologies is now becoming necessary and fashion as well. Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL) is the leading company in the telecommunication sector. Pakistan Telecommunication Authority is the government agency which uses to monitor the functions of telecommunication industry. Mobile manufacturer companies are introducing new devices, models and mobile software, hardware with every fresh day. 

Mobile phones use to perform tasks like text messaging, email, MMs, Internet access, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications sometimes offer us company with gaming and photography. 

Strong competition between mobile service providers also led to cheaper call rates, both locally and internationally. Networks like Warid, Ufone, Telenor and Zong are famous networks here. Samsung, LG, Apple, and Rim: Blackberry, Motorola Inc. and Sony Ericson are the well-known mobile phone manufacturer company in the world.  

Different network companies establishing their cell phone towers in populace areas which is dangerous because mobile phone practices electromagnetic radiations, which may cause several serious diseases, which include diseases such as cancer, brain tumors, leukemia, birth defects, miscarriages, stress and other skin diseases. 

However, every technology has its own limitations, exploitation or addiction of anything is dangerous not only for yourself but for others as well. Everything comes with advantages and disadvantages now it’s up-to us that how we are going to deal. 

Though, we can’t neglect the fact that telecom is the only industry which pays 19.5% GST, which is highest and the future of this industry is bright with introduction of 3G (third Generation) technology which is expected to be in Pakistan this year.
