International Day of Peace 2012

International Day of Peace 

“International Day of Peace”

To celebrate International day of peace Kafka Development Organization is organizing photography competition. The theme of activity is"Lets Create Peace".

By creating the International Day of Peace, the UN devoted itself to worldwide peace and encouraged all of mankind to work in cooperation for this goal. During the discussion of the U.N. Resolution that established the International Day of Peace, it was suggested that:
Peace Day should be devoted to commemorating and strengthening the ideals of peace both within and among all nations and peoples…This day will serve as a reminder to all peoples that our organization, with all its limitations, is a living instrument in the service of peace and should serve all of us here within the organization as a constantly pealing bell reminding us that our permanent commitment, above all interests or differences of any kind, is to peace.
Since its inception, Peace Day has marked our personal and planetary progress toward peace. It has grown to include millions of people in all parts of the world, and each year events are organized to commemorate and celebrate this day. Events range in scale from private gatherings to public concerts and forums where hundreds of thousands of people participate.

My Poetry

Where r u?

The astrologer have failed 2 predict

The scholars have failed to define u

Where r u?

I’m standing alone waiting for u

Ppl r staring me with laughing eyes

Where r u..?

Ur  unloyalty makes me want to forget u

Bt ur resemblance in flowerx never let me

Where r u..?

The autumn is dissolving me like dry leaves

The distance between us is turning me into ash

Where r u..?

M trying to find u in the stars

M looking for u in the flowers

Where r u..?

There is only one place where I found u

Nd that …is in my heart dear…

"."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."

       Spring is arriving in my city

   Thorns shaping flowers

      Enemy becoming darling

      Desert changing in ocean

          Cruel dancing on love beats 

       Linearity undergoing spin

       Fire is shaping into roses

    Storm loving rainbows

            Fairy’s playing with cherries

             When will u come o beloved? 

        (29-08-11)

My heart denies beating

When I see you

My eyes refuse to blink

When I see you

Wind stops blowing

When I see you

Time seems to freeze

When I see you

Sailor hates sailing

When I see you

Moon gets covered with a cloud

When I see you

Romeo’s fascination for Juliet disappears

When I see you

"."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."."

Uncha Neecha

Uncha Nicha

My name is Razaq, I am a student of intermediate, I am also a motorbike mechanic, and I am functioning in a garage after college to tolerate my everyday expenditure and to hold up my family. I was free after my graduation from GC University Lahore. In my leisure time, I experienced to be a part of a workshop in a local private institution. When I came there at the very first day, I found Most of the people there were from under developed private institutions and some were also part of underprivileged occupations. All their outlooks and behaviors were telling their stories. Above mentioned words was not the only story of Razaq, the majority people there were the victims of bad luck but Razaq was a different person by his story. He was a boy of age between 18-20 years and he was smiling. I was seeing tears and pain behind his smile. As his smile was trying to hide his inner emotions which were trying to broke out. The students of his age are ruining the money of their parents but on the other side of picture that young boy is paying to born in a poor family. In his age of study and dreaming for a bright career his hands are playing with motorbike wires and tires. My eyes got wet after listening the tragic story of Razaq and others. Suddenly, I remembered some words of Ahson Iqbal- former Federal Minister for Education Pakistan (in a talk show, when anchor asked him, that people are dying due to social-economic crises, who is the responsible?, what u people are doing?). He replied:- Mr. Anchor about which world you are talking about, people in Pakistan are well rich, and have all facilities, even they have million to expense for their luxuries. That was a sensation less reply from the former Federal Minister but that was not unexpected. We know bitterly the realities of our ministers but accordingly to our slavery addictions we love to follow the habits of ostrich and pigeon. I just want to say on his statement. Mr. former Federal Minister .Try to come out from your elite life, elite houses and just take a glance on the conditions in which Pakistani people are living in our beloved country.
