Jinn fever on Pakistani tv channels


Sahir Lodhi, is the butt of all jokes as soon as you see him on TV even the most wailing person instantly gets a smile on their face as they expect something highly dramatic from the wanna be too tight  about to be ripped off  waist coat Pakistani  SHAHRUKH KHAN.

The recent Jinn programme by him couldn’t stop me from smiling and laughing, although jinn’s being a controversial, scary subject. This show is just like the one’s mostly done on local channels IN THE PURSUIT of a jinn and how to get a jinn away from a person or how to grace the show with a presence of a jinn or to demonstrate publicly how can a bearded monkey cleric take out their frustration on poor people or to show the latest mystic jinn dance performed by rural Punjab jinn obsessed goat smelling dancers.

There is a panel of the starry eyed judges like American idol, though they are replaced by cleric and saints here, among them a woman who resembles the caretaker of marina khan in the drama, tum say kahna tha, she claims to bring out the jinni in you by making you stare hard in the mirror but never have I seen her doing that in any show, the act although reminds me of a cute afro baby evil eye video


Then there is the *Simon cowell * of that show, the red cap * NAQSHBANDI* who smears and make fun of the all the other judges of the panel. With his curled smile and ultra superiority complex over other lesser humans

And my favorite is  the * NOORI * judge the animated ,ridiculed and scoffed of .After so much of grudge faced on the show he has been limited to mere rosary clutching. Even the most ridiculed person in this planet called earth, sahir makes fun of him. Funny eh? And yes after all those programmes he revealed like a sky revelation that he is not a Jinni expert so shwwweeet .He might have had been fascinated by Veena darling, who confessed her being a victim of split personality disorder .

The psychiatrist seems like the only sane guy and him being no – nonsense doesn’t bring out the spice in the show amongst such a tough competition .He is hijacked most of the time and has succumb to a defensive approach of working in the sough after panel as no matter how hard he tries to prove the scientific facts to the spiritual clerics his logical comments are brushed off by them to the extent that *stamp closer cleric* labeled him rejecting existence of ALLAH ……  That was such a quick label! But why stamp closer uncle you didn’t call him a infidel, im angry with u L  qutti !!!! I wont speak with you.


And if this is not enough there is a writer by the name of Khalid Farshori, you just need to hit his name over Google and find all the stupidest scary stuff or if you are already stupid then just the scary stuff over it. He used to write in a Urdu daily and when I was pretty naïve( yes now I have become very intelligent like Einstein)  it used to get me nightmares when sleeping alone as all the characters used to come to life in dark, Then I saw his programme of Jamil Jinn  over Hero TV  which burst me into a fit of laughter after initial 5 minutes of scariness and  irritation by the tongue licking – beetle nut chewing- butcher turned joker who was the self proclaimed owner of the jinn. Well, he cited that he is doing public service as there was a lot of stray dogs in his locality and he sent the JJ ( not junaid jamshed , yoo singer turned mullah merchant )  after him and VIOLA all the dogs have left. Isn’t this a great display by sub- specie of monkey affection towards humans!!!!  And yes then JJ graced the show with his appearance as the anchor cited * HEY LOOK IGNORANT, DUMB VIEWERS  I HAVE GOT A SECRET DEAL WITH JJ TO APPEAR ON MY SHOW  AND THE GUY WHO JUST POP HIS HEAD INSIDE THE ROOM IS NONE OTHER THAN THE JJ *  after this I wanted to punch him like Batista  however as the utterly theatrical and hilarious performance by jj master  made me rolling with laughter I thought  about forget hitting the hairy beast aka Khalid farshori .


The supernatural always seem to attract us as most of the people like me are fascinated by what the unseen holds. In our part of the world where people are told these tales its embedded in their mindset from the beginning.If there is any problem they relate it to some miscreant jinn, think people jealous of them did black magic and so on and so forth. There no such awareness of the mental problems and often a person suffering from schizophrenia/ paranoia/ epilepsy and other problems is referred to a peer baba as he/she is told to be possessed by a demon. The baba/peer/ aamil business just thrives and they are not even in the entrepreneurial list on Forbes such a pity L

To me it is a self imposed * jahalat * where people blindly follow what has been fed to them instead of applying common logic. There mindset is then strengthened by a one off program where the host just portray the Stalingrad of all the problems in the world to be black magic. Bullshit why can’t they do black magic on Maulana fazul ullah -the bastard, haqqani network, the Taliban’s who are killing the innocent people. Why anybody doesn’t sends any jinni, churail, pichalpairi (a women jinni who has back front fêtes) to suicide bombers .Why doesn’t any demon attack those killers, rapist, murderers who go out into the night to do evil stuff

I guess all these programme needs to be banned, the advertisement of aamils by wall chalking should be fined and they need to be put in jails for looting innocent people. The weak faith and people believing this stuff will only go away with education that has to be done immediately. Especially awareness of the mental problems needs to be done. Although being an underdeveloped, highly corrupt, a rabid country this seems to be too utopian that these steps will be implemented as the tv air time will still be flooded with idiotic bhoot shows by more idiot anchors possessing zero IQ.

Drive to eliminate malnutrition in Pakistan by WFP, Ramazan Campaign


It’s so sad to know that being an agricultural country and even producing enough, 58% of the people of Pakistan are estimated to be food insecure and the actual  level may be higher than that. Agriculture as a segment of the Pakistan economy has availed special privilege in almost of the government’s tenure and they are exempt from paying taxes but all they do is make the innocent, poor people work on their fields with little wages like animals … being financially striped off despite working so hard leads to hunger and thus malnutrition in kids and women of the lower socio economic groups in the rural areas


WHO has been promoting the drive to end malnutrition amongst the Pakistani people namely the kids and the women those who can’t afford food and are thus malnutritioned. However through this platform I would like to cite that not only the under privileged kids but the privileged kids faced malnutrition as they don’t eat healthy food and although their body is developed it lacks the physical strength as they had been nurtured on the commercial/junk foods. So an overall awareness is needed to promote healthy eating habbits are to be encouraged in kids particularly.


Who doesn’t like little kids with beaming smiles on their faces in our society the round plum , active baby  not to mention the gora chiitta is the apple of the eye of  every gathering that puts smile on the most bitter karela person present but ever wondered from where does all the glow, energy , beam comes from .. No! we don’t give a damn if we see any thin, malnutrioned kid  often saying * KITNA SUKHA HAY * and most of the  experienced house wives in rearing kids  can be seen sharing their pearls of wisdom with  moms like Zubaida Appa !  But Who states that under the age of 5 , 15 %  have reached the critical threshold  , 44% are stunted  and  32 % are underweight .An alarming situation that needs immediate attention.
 

The mental incapabilities and the physical incapability due to malnutrition leads to many problems in life as they cant take part in the fun/ sports activities. It leads to bone deformity, iron deficiency and they lack the power to focus, reason like a healthy kid does .The stature of the kids can often be identified as being thin, boney, yellow eyes and pale skin

Then the lactating mothers due to being malnutritioned are unable to provide the nutritional value to the little baby via the natural feeding as a result the babies take time to grow and don’t develop thee antibodies to fight the viral  attacks at this infant age  that causes a threat to their existence in the long run

The most painful situation is where people die and fight due to hunger, where due to in access to nutritional food or pleasure of tongue inferiority complex is developed in the young minds, where the demarcation between privileged and under privileged is judged by a better looking mango... why  a basic necessity, why a food ?

It may seem funny at first sight a recent incident where in the PML (Q) jalsa people ate before the iftar time and a man was clearly seen shouting in the video that there is ample time left to break fast but no body paid any heed to him. What does this show? The fear of remaining hungry once again making them attacks the food forgetting the reason why they fasted whole day long …..


HOW TO OVERCOME THE VENOM OF MALNUTRITION:

  • There needs to be massive awareness in the society over malnutrition in kids, identification of the symptoms and DIY basic guides to eliminate it as they see the early signs
  • Although the cash for work activity has been initiated by WHO for the underprivileged segment of our society, WHO in joint venture  with the UNICEF should acquire a land in its  name and start the cultivation of the easily grown nutritional foods like Banana and Potatoes , hiring  local people to care for the fields at a  respectable wage ( instead of just transferring the cash in their name as it apparently does  )  and the food products after fulfilling the needs of the locals should be distributed in the supermarkets under the brand name of WHO  KAY POTATOE or WHO KAY AALOO.. To generate further revenue and awareness both for the malnutritional programme and the benefits of the organic farming.
  • WHO should construct an agreement with the leading nutritional brands of meat, milk and poultry and make them adopt a village or a locality make people have access to their food items under corporate social responsibility act.
  • It is very great that WFP has started the school feeding programme that feeds to 1.3 million kids in the school and they take the ration home as well, this should be increased on a mass level with the inclusion of the technical training so that kids can learn the skills at school in which they have a interest and earn there this will ensure a healthy future for them.

  • I have come across a very good practice adopted by International Humanity Foundation is that they make volunteers across the world virtually and in real they place advertisements for IHF and write for it in order  to create awareness and generate  potential funds, this practice could be adopted by WHO in the fight against malnutrition.

  • Pakistani Government should include in the legislation a progressive tax on the agriculture mafia’s and WHO can spread awareness of this issue as its affecting the health of women and children of Pakistan

  • WHO should liaise with the high ranking government officials to eliminate malnutrition and hunger and the government target should be matched with that of the WHO.


In the end I would like to request all the people who possess a caring heart. Please in this Ramadan take a certain portion out as Zakat, Sadqa, Donation to help the kids and women in Pakistan because every human being deserves the right to have nutritional food as they did not choose this but the fate chose them. Just think for a while and place yourself in this position . WHO is a bigger platform and have far reaching impacts as cited above,will contribute to the long term benefits of people to eliminate hunger/ malnutrition so this should clear a tinge of doubt you have to not to donate
  A healthy Pakistan holds a better future – for us for the world.

Tum aur tumhara pyar ----




Tum Jo milay ho mujhko
Urhnay Lage hun may to
Unche Fiza may Jaysay
Masti may churya koi

Ruknay na paon ab to
Agay hee barhtay jaon
Lehron may Kasti Jaysay
Sawan may nadya jasay


Tez Hawa jo aaye
toofan ki moojayn ho ya
Baarish ki rimjhim aaye
Mujhko  jhukana chahay 
neechay dubana  chahe 

Pyar tera hi akar 
Sub say han larta Jaye 
Mera Muhafiz Ban kar 
Mera hi sathi ban kar 

Mujhko Sanwaray har dam 
Mujoon ko sahil jaisay
Dulhan ko lali jaisay 
Phoolon ko khushboo jaisay 
Banday ko allah jaisay 




PS : This is a highly romantic poem in urdu that i want Nayyyara Noor to sing for me :)
