Poem - My Country is my identity - By Shafia Abbasi

My Country is my identity, My Pride, My love!!!

Pakistan is my country
Welfare is my culture
Peace is my command
Cease fire is my demand

Mr. Jinnah is my pride
Restlessness is my enemy
But every body wants to roam
For agitation on the road

All people are foolish
They behave like monkeys
Some are men
But majority donkeys

I lost my glory
I lost my dignity
Where is my pride?
Where is my peaceful country?

Questions and Answers

How does pressure effect weather?

Weather easily is defined as the air or atmosphere is like at that time. Air pressure differs across all parts of the Earth’s surface and this difference causes winds. Air moves from the area where high pressure (also called anticyclone) or to an area where low pressure (also called depression) is present. Low pressures or depressions are mostly connected with bad weather conditions and rainfall. A barometer measures these changes in air pressure.

It embodies their demand for the recognition of their national status, as distinct from the other inhabitants of India, by the grant to Pakistan of a separate Federal Constitution on religious, social and historical grounds.
I shall be pleased if you will kindly acquaint me with your valuable opinion on the proposed solution of the great Hindu-Muslim problem. I trust that, vitally interested as you are in a just and permanent solution of that complex problem, the objects outlined in the appeal wiIl meet with your fullest approval and active support.
Yours truly,
Rahmat Ali (Choudhary). (Founder, Pakiistan National Movement)

POEM by Zainab Anwar

POEM THE MEANING OF LIFE

One day I met a wise old an
Who was sitting in the park
And there upon the bench with him
We talked ‘till early dark

He told me of his travels
To a far off distant land
Where the secret meaning of our lives
Was taught to him first hand

I listened to his story
Amazed by what he said
The simple truth of which he spoke
Was knowledge not widespread

In great detail he did explain
What life was all about
And how the answer we do seek
We don’t have to be without

There was something in his message
That I could not reject
A wisdom that I understood
So simple and direct

My life forever has been changed
By the words I heard that day
A concept old as life itself
And by far the one true way

An answer to the question why
And the reason we exist
Solutions I would not now
If my walk that that was missed
