The world where we live is full with pollution, pollution does
not mean that smoke emitting from vehicles or from chimney of industries but our
mind has enormous pollution and it is not cleaned rather has rusted &
condensing more on every passing day.
Everything we see it looks us opposite, the thing is upright
but when we glare, it appears as facedown. When we see someone he says why you
frown at me whereas were just looking at him, a very serious cloud of
negativity in the environment moving around.
If someone console it feels that he/she is cheating us
definitely needs something that’s why talking politely. If you go to see relative
to ask his welfare, he understands that you may be in need of something that’s why
you visited.
If you stay for little time either in his office or at
residence he takes impression that you will leave after lunch or dinner. If you
phone to your friend/ relative as a courtesy that you are coming to see him,
they excuse you very smartly that sorry we are preoccupied and going somewhere.
If you give some gift on any specific occasion then he feels
that you will ask some favor that’s why you brought him gift either you want to
borrow something or need some special favor which is in his hand. If you phone
someone and ask his welfare he will not reply you radiantly but with low voice
and put you feel that your call did not make him happy & he wants to get
rid of.
If you go market or
shopping Mall to buy anything the seller shows you something else and gives you
something else, it gives you feeling when you come back home & noticed that
the material you purchased were not the same. You will be annoyed because you
negotiated the price and seller agreed but he did not deliver the correct
items.
One fine morning I received a call from mother of my friend
who asked to visit at her home she wants to discuss something about her son. At
the weekend I went to see them, I got my friend very upset & fed up, he was
talking with disappointment, aggressiveness, using foul language, annoyed and
expressing in disgusting and revolting way. Certainly such condition for her
mother was quite nuisance I assured her that I will take him to a Psychiatrist.
I thought that he may be neurology patient but first I preferred to consult with
Psychiatrist.
However the Psychiatrist examined him thoroughly and kept
him passing through with a series of medical checkup where the doctor revealed
that your friend has no illness of any sort. He is fit form all aspect,
physically healthy and no mental uneasiness as I pointed out earlier.
The Psychiatrist however asked my friend in detail (before
me) that what the problem is – Why are you so frustrated? The friend replied I
am fed up and if I had power I would have killed everybody one by one. And if I
knew I would not migrate and never asked my parents to relocate in Pakistan he
said.
Nevertheless we wanted to know the reason of his resentment
and indignation that why he is so irritated, he started to share his feeling
with us that
There is no light in our area despite complaints with
electricity department – there is constant power breakdown from 12 -15 hours on
daily basis.
There is no gas in our stove, if comes it gives very low
flame we are unable to cook our food
Our water tap is dry, when open the line it gives air but no
water, we have lodged the complaints with Water & Sewerage Board (W&SB)
but they seem unable to rectify the issue while I also brought into their notice
of W&SB that the water tanker mafia has installed hydrant close to my
locality & they are filling their tanks so how you can believe that the
same line has water for them but not for us
This is 4th time I have lost my mobile at gunpoint,
not only mobile but ID card and some money in my valet. When approached to the
police station they advised me not lodge that someone snatched your mobile at
gunpoint but say it has been lost on the way while coming home or going from
home otherwise you will be in problem duty police officer said
I am still jobless I have been applying for the last one
year, when approached to public or private sector they ask me to bring parchi (politician
letter) or give bribe to get jobs
Once on my way back home before traffic signal I was asked
to stop the bike, some boys hardly in 20s asked me Are you Shia or Sunni. I
thought what should I say as I don’t know who they are, then said I am Qadyani
one of the boy abused and pushed me to go as such I saved my life.
I was going through my scooter, in one of the locality I was
surrounded with some activist on the road who came to me & asked to get
down from the bike; they put my bike on fire to whom I will complain and who
will return my bike.
I bought another motor-bike and for CNG I keep waiting for 4
to 5 hours to fill my bike tank, it has been a daily practice, only 2 or 3 days
CNG is given to motorist our of 7 days in a week.
Two times I escaped from indiscriminate firing I was going
to drop someone of my locality.
It has been quite tough for me to live in such tormenting
condition, standard of living has been costly, cost of household items has been
multiplied and even there is no honesty. The seller cheats you they show something
and sell something he stated with anger. You can’t trust anyone in an atmosphere
of hypocrisy and deceit.
Electricity & Gas billing approaching skyrocketing while
there is constant outage of power & Gas
The sewerage water is spread on the street. No municipality guy
comes to clean resulting impacting the dwellers living the area, stagnant water
emitting bad odor due its passivity, no mosquito treatment. No govt. hospital
in the area, street light are off since decades, no concrete road in our area
despite reports with city govt. while we are tax-payer
There is rampant corruption in govt. institution if you go
for some work they look to your pocket then lodge complaint – I went electricity
department to correct the electric meter reading
After knowing all his grievances and the situation which embarrassed
him I and Psychiatrist solace & assure him that these problems are not only
for you rather we have been engulfed with the same situation (day and night) so
don’t be upset or lose your temper – this is the reality and we have to live in
the same web where we are.
We iterated that rampant lawlessness in the city, massive corruption
& mismanagement in public and private sectors and these are national issue,
there are 190.0 million inhabitants living in the country and you are not alone
so live and breathe as we live we emboldened him.
My friend now has come down and radically has accepted the
reality but multiple questions always spirals that when we will be honest &
loyal with the country - Can we controlled unbridled corruption - Why we depend
on shortcut instead to get or follow proper route for our jobs - When Electricity,
Gas - Water & drainage issue will be resolved once for all - When our lives
and property will be safe and secured and How the soaring prices can come down
so that a low income earner may live at least with three time foods and can
sleep under his own-roof.
Why there is double standard, when we will talk straight, think
straight, walk straight and look straight instead to hide, misperceive &
then misconceive resulting we go confused, guide others wrongly, sneaks
suspicion as such different negative factors prevails and situation turns into negativity
which interrupts the smooth flow of business.
The Doctor further clarified me that not only your friend is
uncomfortable here the whole community is away from ethical standard and the
reason is the only the environment, our surrounding, the facility which we have
are not up to the mark, it has been dented miserably, govt. apathy are before
us, no remedial measures in place. A person who did not sleep whole the night
due to power breakdown and no gas in stove so how you expect that the counter
staff of customer services industry will smile for you and serve you with pleasant
it leads to exasperation the Psychiatrist said.
