Do Pashtuns of Pakistan want to join Afghanistan?

By A. Alamgeer -
 I’m sure a Pashtun can answer that question much better than me, so my answer would not be a yes or no. But since you have asked, I would like to inform that there is a propaganda going on since more than 20 years to make Pashtuns accept “Afghanistan” as their true land and not Pakistan. It’s alarming that such people have somehow siezed important posts in the KPK province. In the universities as Deans/Principals/Chancelors etc and they’re gradually spreading that propaganda. The tools they use are simple Spreading hatred for Punjab (while Punjab has been extremely hospitable to Pushtuns, even there’s a quota for pushtuns and balochs in certain universities, KPK universities are hostile towards students from Punjab) Settling Afghan Pushtuns in the province who will portray as Pakistani Pushtuns and will help the political leaders in separation (May 9 incident is an example) Disallowing mutual projects (between Punjab and Kpk) to make sure that the separation is seamless.

Has the Hour Come?

By A. Alamgeer -
 ‘Before the Hour comes, there will be years of deceit, in which a truthful person will be disbelieved and a liar will be believed; and the insignificant will have a say’. (Ahmad)* *Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, ‘Years of treachery will come over people in which liars are believed and the truthful are denied, the deceitful are trusted and the trustworthy are considered traitors, and the al-Ruwaybaḍah will deliver speeches.’ It was said, ‘Who are the al-Ruwaybaḍah?’ The Prophet said, ‘Petty men with authority over the common people.’ (Ibn Mājah) Looking at these Ahadith, A person mentioned that this prophecy is already fulfilled. But I think that this is not the case everywhere. Yes this is true that many liars are believed while the truthful are denied, but this is not common as yet. For example, Look at the United States, about half the people voted for Donald Trump who is a liar and a treacherous person and people believe h

They make you smell their animal's excretions, they tie their animals outside to show them off, they make the streets dirty with dung, they make their animals eat your plants and even cause you to suffer due to your allergies and make it difficult for you to go out, when it's eid they make the blood flow your doorsteps but don't send you even a single piece of meat, may ALLAH do not accept their sacrifices!

The Umbrella Academy

By A. Alamgeer -
I just finished watching the "Umbrella Academy" season 3. I had a lot of expectations but I'm sorry to say that it came out to be ridiculous at the end. The last part was the worst. Though Vanya/Victor had been the most disliked character for me. In the first two seasons she used to be gay and in the 3rd she suddenly became a male character. Since Vanya/victor had always been the one causing the apocalypse, then what's the point in all the action? Why was killing a person to save millions was so difficult? This series was corrupt on the moral grounds from start to the end. The worst of the worst was when Allison kills her father Mr. Hargreeves and resets everything herself, She didn't understand the system, Reg did most of the work and by clicking just one button she resets everything and becomes the hero. That's totally pathetic. I would not recommend it for children and youngsters alike since it lacks sense of values from the start to the end and might corru

Unsustainable Life of a Developer

By -
We the developers are living unsustainable lives... Our job doesn't start in the morning. Not in Pakistan. It starts at 10 sometimes 11 am. Which is half morning half afternoon. Then it goes through 7 pm. Congratulations, another day has gone and you did nothing. I'm not saying that we were not productive. But when you leave home at 10 and come back at 7, there's no time left to socialize. I hardly talked to my neighbor in the last 5 years. So, a few days ago, a person came in my neighborhood, and he said, I live here in the nearest street, and I haven't seen you. Why is that? I said that I go out in the morning and come late in the evening like 7 pm (lied), So perhaps that's why! He told me that his life is almost the same, we go to work in the morning, come back in the evening (almost 7 pm) but still, we meet each-other (other neighbors) but we have never seen you. Are you a software developer? I said "yes, I'm a developer" "Oh so that's why

Giving More than Taking...

By -
So far I had seen people who take more than they give or atleast try to keep the balance. In the companies they work that is. But today I found a person who gave more than they took apparently. I have been assigned to a project that was previously being worked on by Amna and Akasha. The manager told me that we're behind on this project so we need a boost. So they assigned it to me. Also, one of the developers has left the company. And I, to be honest, didn't really like her very much. So, at first, there was a mess that I had to figure out, and it took me some time. I needed some background knowledge. But anyway, I fixed the stuck problem atlast. Took me a week though, and I had to read a lot of code. There is one mysterious thing that these developers were doing. They would take development code as the starting point, would develop on that code, and then after the development is done would update the development code but there's a master code that works on the production.

Done with Rejections

By A. Alamgeer -
There is a nicer way to reject. By saying good bye. Or even saying nothing is good. But blocking someone on social network is totally a different shit. That's like you're killing someone or committing suicide in a hope that things wont haunt you. Let me assure that would not be the case. It happened to me many times. I'm expecting an answer, but instead of an answer I get blocked. I never did this to anyone except I'm usually open to criticism. And even when a person is extremely offensive against me, I would listen to him, let him say his shit, I would just not respond may be, but I would not block him. Many a times it happened that people said offending things to me and I listened without a response. But at a later stage, we met again and they apologized, and we became friends again. But I think as the population has grown, the value of a person has decreased significantly. People now think that if they cut-off with one person, it wont be a big deal... I'm done wi
