IS THIS WHAT OUR FORCES R FOR??
A few day back I reached home from my office was at the door when a bike stopped just in front of my gate. On the bike were 2 rangers riding. He asked me where is MR Haris home. I said yes! I am haris.
So he asked for a glass of water and I gave him then he said if I can sit for a while. I my self had to do a very important work assigned by my father. So I said him I have to do this work and I’ll be back in 15mins,so he goes like I’ll jus take 2 minutes.
Ok so I sat there. He starts
Mr. so so wing commander 83 Sachal Rangers have asked me to tell u to be in his office tomorrow by 10 pm. I was like why the hell should I come to his office when I don’t know the guy nor the reason.
I asked the guy why have he called me so he replied that he is my boss and I can not ask the details and I being a representative of Sind Rangers am asking you to be in his office. Like I am a respectable guy and so I am asking/inviting you in the office.
I replied him when I lost my temper, if I being a reasonable guy living in the house in front of you, ask you to go some where you don’t have any reason to, will you go? He said that’s not the point and there might be some issue he wants to clarify. He said I don’t have any idea but as he have asked me to tell u so be there.
Then I got to know that a few months back I have given a cheque as security to someone. And that guy had to pay some debt to his bro in law, with whom I even met and he claimed to be an Ex Army MAJOR.
But when we were to sign that legal document he asked to right RAJA instead of major. So first of all I don’t know if he is a major or not and considering even if he is a retired major, are these guys allowed to threaten general public by the post they have as public servants.
Is this the reason?
PEOPLE COMPARE ARMY OFFICIALS AND DEAD ELEPHANTS
By using this proverb: “MARA HUA HATI BHI SAWA LAKH KA”
Then he used his sources to threaten me, even when I was not bound to pay any amount to him nor to the guy to whom that cheque was issued to as it was just for security purpose.
Is this what Rangers and Army officials do, all the time threatening general public instead of doing their job of saving the lives of lay man from the culprits?????

This is how apna Jazz is
My first step was to call the help line to find out the location of the franchise that was closest to my place, for the one I knew to be the closest had its shutters down for the past few days. After waiting for three whole minutes and fifty seconds, the operator picked up my call.
On presenting my request, he repeated the address of the franchise that was closest to my place. I was amazed that he did not know that that particular franchise wasn’t functional. So I blessed him with the knowledge and brought to his awareness that this particular franchise of his company did not exist anymore or appeared to be closed for the past few days.
He then told me the address of another one which was on the road that lead to Allah wala round about.
Since it was 7 already and the closing time for the franchise is 8, I rushed towards Tariq Road but thanks to the road diggers of our country, one complete track had been dug and the traffic was crawling.
I could see a Mobilink franchise nowhere and so i called the headline again for i wasnt in a mood to get stuck in the rush i could see ahead. This time the HELP LINE agent, as they call themselves, told me that the office was on the other road! It was beside ARIZONA GRILL and not on the road that lead to Allah wala roundabout! I was on fire. I would have punched the guy had he been in front of me.
Then the most amazing thing happened. I reached the office beside Arizona grill and found the shutters closed! I was taken aback for it was just 7.30 and the official closing time was 8. I knocked at the door and a guy answered that the office was closed. So I talked to the guy at the billing window and asked him why the office had been closed before 8? He was like the office closes at 7 and sim issuance lady leaves at 5 so u will have to come tomorrow before 5pm.
I told him that I was told by the so called HELP LINE guy that your offices are open till 8. How could he not know the official closing timings?!
SIR they might have missed guided u! Came the reply.
Then he asked me to get the help line agent on line from my cell phone and apologized to me saying he will lodge a complaint against them and that there is this branch in Gulshan and if I reach there till 8 they might help me. It was 7.40 already so I wasn’t going to take another run now considering the level of misguidance they could do. Neither did I have a chopper which could take me there in 20 minutes. Not that my driving skills are any less.
So it was one hell of an eye opener for me. This is the service you get from the oldest telecom giant and as per their claims, the family with the largest no of members. I wonder what keeps their family together.

His share of my happiness
A month ago, I bought an engine for a car I’m planning to recondition. When I was bringing it home, a friend of mine was in the Suzuki in which the engine was loaded while I lead the way in my car. All of a sudden my friend called me and told me that a patrolling police mobile had stopped the Suzuki and they were asking for the purchase receipt. So I immediately made my way to the place where they were stopped by the police. What followed was a series of interesting questions. When I showed them the receipt, they asked me what I did, what was the engine for, where I bought it from, how much I paid for it and when exactly was it bought by me.
The purpose of the last question was to entangle me. I was expecting it. So I told him straight away that the receipt was 25 days old, I had paid some amount in advance, and on paying the balance that day, I had been given possession of the engine.
Ok so then he was like you people don’t know that these engines are smuggled from Afghanistan and are taken out of stolen cars and this and that.
By nature I’m a little pathan dimagh. So I ended up saying on this comment of his that when you people know every thing, why don’t you stop them from doing such a thing and making a fool out of the public.
He was sort of taken aback. He asked me for my ID card and took down all my details and stuff so that he can contact me if in case he finds out that the engine I bought was from a stolen vehicle.
So apparently it was for this reason that he took down the engine no. To be honest, the engine no he wrote wasn’t a genuine one. It was a fake random no.
Then came the main purpose of our interaction. The reason because of which he had bothered to take so much pain and trouble. HIS SHARE.
He goes like… so since you bought an engine for your car, we should also get some MITHAI…
First he wastes so much of my time. Then he asks for bribe, as his share of my happiness! What the hell.
I told him straight away. Had you guys not wasted my time (and had come to the point straight away…) I might have considered sharing my happiness with you. As of now, I can’t help you.
The authorities should definitely do something about such infuriating attitudes of our public servants. They spend their precious time and energy harassing the public when on the contrary they should be concerned about the latter’s peace.

THE FACT, THE LOSS.
People say that Allah subha nahu wata aala doesn't leave his loved ones for long on this freaking earth, after which all of us are running. This is something i witnessed recently. So the loss which quiet many people went through is what I am writing about.
A few days back an accident happened in which a guy of our Mosque was shot and he got shaheed with in a the matter of seconds, in a robbery incident near Quetta. SHAHEED yes because he was out in the way of ALLAH spreading the most important word, the word of our beloved HOLY PROPHET (May Peace Be Upon Him).He was a young guy and a father of four sons the eldest would be max 8-9 years old.
So regarding Allah not leaving his loved ones on this earth is similar to a mother who if has a few sons and they are not near her she calls the one who is the most beloved. So as said by many people who knew him, he was a gem of a guy who ALLAH didn’t want him to stay on this earth. One among a few good people I know and listened to what he said, by what he said I mean, the preaching of our PROPHET (P.B.U.H).
As told by my father he was just another guy like me or as are other guys of my age till he was blessed a few years ago and joined the work of TABLIGH. So I guess quiet a few people work as hard as he did. U name the area in Pakistan where ISLAM is not preached much and he might have gone there once. He went in Jamats to a no of countries, and was a true follower of what we all should follow.
The no of people who were gathered to offer his last prayer were a sight worth seeing, haven’t seen so many people other than Juma prayer in our mosque to offer some prayer or in some one’s funeral. So I pray that all of us also start following what is best for us in order to be safe and happy in the life here after, by which we would INSHALLAH get a better life here in this freaking earth which is not even equivalent to a wing of mosquito in front of ALLAH, its our bad luck that we cant imagine what the HEAVEN would be like of which our ALLAH has praised so much in his last book revealed on our last PROPHET (P.B.U.H). This is what the modern human being is, he is going so ahead in science and forgetting the basic reason of his existence on his earth.
