Last Letter Of Shaheed Major Imran Ahmed To His Wife

The dead soldier's silence sings our national anthem.

There are so many unsung heroes of this so called War against Terrorism who haven't hesitated to sacrifice their lives for our beloved Country Pakistan. Lets make sure that their deaths do not go unnoticed or meaningless.

A heart touching letter of a brave martyr to his wife:

Akhari Khat.

Major. Imran Ahmed, Punjab Regiment, 4th Batallion.

Miranshah, North Waziristan, F.A.T.A.

August 14, 2011

Mrs. Maira Imran.

74/1 Khayaban E BahriaLahore, Punjab, Pakistan

Assalam-o-Alaikum,

Kaisi ho Maira? Ummeed hai khairiat se hogi, main bhi khairiat se hee hoon. Maira shayad yeh khat mera aakhri khat ho isliye isko sambhaalkar rakhna, kamsekam jab tak Zaid bada nahin hojaata. Kal Zaid ki doosri saalgirah thi, main aa nahin paaya. Kaise aata? Hum logon ko ek family ke liye nahin, humaari 17 crore logon ki family ke liye kaam karna padraha hai. Meri taraf se Zaid ko bohot pyaar karna aur humaare study ki cabinet ki sabse aakhri daraaz mein green file ke neeche ek envelope hai, woh Zaid ko dedena. Maine us envelope ko aise hee waqt ke liye rakh chorha tha. Usmein uske liye mera tohfa aur ek khat bhi hai joh usko akele padhne dena.

Is waqt tak toh is khat par do aansoo girchuke honge, aakhir tum aurtein itni emotional kyun hoti ho main kabhi samajh nahin paaya. Zaid ko is tarah ka matt banaana, I want my son to be brave just like me. Zaid ki tasveerein dekhi maine, pehle kabhi nahin kaha ab kehraha hoon, woh bilkul tumpar gaya hai. Uski aankhein, uske baal, uska maatha, sab kuch tumpar hai. Pehle kabhi shayad male ego ki waja se nahin kaha, ab socha keh hee doon. Maira yeh jung bohot mushkil hai kyunke ismein donon taraf humaare apne hain, aur jung ka asal marhala apnon ko goliaan maarna hota hai. Aksar toh dus baar sochte hain, par jab pehle goli wahan se aati hai toh jawaab mein humein bhi goli chalaani padti hai. Yahan rehne waale bohot takleef se guzar rahe hain, sirf isliye taake hum unke gharon ko is operation ke liye istamaal karsakein. Sab kisi na kisi tarah is mulk ke liye qurbaanian dene par lage huye hain, aakhir yeh mulk hai hee itna pyaara.

Parson humaari duty ek school mein lagaayi gayi. Ek foji ke liye chowkidaar ki tarah school ki rakhwaali karne se badtar kuch nahin hai, yehi sochkar bohot dair tak mera muun bana raha. Par phir jab saare bacchon ko school aakar buland awaaz mein Pakistan ka qomi taraana gaate huye suna toh yoon samjho saara ghussa pighalgaya. Un bacchon ko bina darr ke padhta dekhkar dil ko bohot khushi huyi, unke chehre mutmayeen thay kyunke woh jaante thay ke kuch nahin hoga kyunke hum wahan hain. Ek dehshatgard ne school ki imaarat ke andar bomb fix kardiya tha, agar hum evacuation karvaate toh bohot sa jaani nuqsaan hosakta tha, isi liye maine wohi kiya joh ek foji ka farz tha apne mulk ke bacchon ke liye. Maine us bomb ko haath mein uthaaya aur usko lekar school ki imaarat se duur bhaag gaya. Bahar jaakar blast hogaya aur main yahan hospital mein admit hogaya. Mujhe is sabka koi afsos nahin hai Maira, kyunke woh bacche salaamat rahe. Maine toh foj join hee isliye ki thi taake apne is paak watan ko apni jaan ka nazraana desakoon. Main shaheed hoon Maira, mujhe inhi alfaaz mein yaad kiya karna, aur Zaid se kehna ke woh bhi sabko fakhr se bataaye ke uska baap mulk ki khidmat karte waqt on duty shaheed hua hai. Zaid bohot pyaara baccha hai Maira, aur ab tumhein akele usko paalna hoga. Aaj marte marte waseehat kar raha hoon, Zaid ko bhi foji banaana Maira. Is kaam mein ek ajeeb sa nasha hai, shaahadat ka nasha, mulk ke liye jaan qurbaan karne ka nasha, aur is nashe ke aage duniya ka har kaam pheeka hai. Meri maut par afsos naa karna, jashn manaana kyunke main teen sau bacchon ko bachaakar jaan deraha hoon, aur waise bhi shaheedon ki maut par roya nahin fakhr kiya jaata hai.

Maira, tumhein ab khud hee apna khayaal rakhna hoga. Apne ammi abbu ko apne paas bulaalena, tumhein akele rehne ki aadat nahin hai. Maira jab tum mere ramp ceremony (funeral) par aaogi toh wahan meri uniform, medals aur badges Zaid se collect karvaana. Main chahta hoon woh is umar mein hee ek foji hone ke jazbe ko mehsoos kare. Bas main itna kehsakta hoon ke mujhe intezaar hai ab apne mulk ke hilaali parcham se lipatkar shaheed kehlaaye jaane ka. Main aaunga apni ramp ceremony par, dekhne ke liye ek shaheed ki maut par kitni ronaq hoti hai. Jab mere honour mein goliaan fire karke salaami diye jaane ki awaaz sununga, tabhi meri rooh ko sukoon pohonchega. Ab alvida kehdeta hoon kyunke is sabko kehne ke baad naa hee tum aur padhne ka qaabil hogi aur naa hee main likhne ke. Isliye alvida, apna aur Zaid ka bohot khayaal rakhna. Tumhaare paas Zaid is mulk ki amaanat hai, aur amaanat ko ek din lautaana hee hota hai. Main intezaar karunga Zaid ki shahaadat ka. Khayaal rakhna.

With Love,

Major Imran Ahmed, Punjab Regiment, 4th B

You will be glad to know that the letter is fictional and is written by Zain Raza yet there is no denying the fact that this fictional letter is very close to reality.

Beloved President Zardari and Sarah Palin

Check out the conversation between Sarah Palin and Mr. Zardari

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5ND2FQx6WY

Remember Zardari Sahab is in so called MOURNING as he himself said after BB's death that for me its "mourning for lifetime". If I loose someone that close I dont know if I will ever smile again but the smile on his face is there forever!Shame on him and more shame on us for having him as a president. I dont know why our people are such big fools.

I am so cross at Imran Khan for not participating in these elections as I am sure many people would have given him votes this time. If not all atleast he speaks the TRUTH. The option we were given was to choose between Nawaz Sharif and Zardari. I for one chose Nawaz because he was better that Zardari but our nation and media alike were so much affected by the BB's loss that all their past doings seem right so what are we crying about now!

Marriott Blast-Another blast, Another day of survival

Islamabad has been hit again. Typing "Islamabad Blast" on Google resulted in so many older blasts that has struck Islamabad recently and all I could do was thank Allah that my family was not amongst the victims.

Its so tragic to see that how much helpless we are as a nation. Even after 5 hours the Marriott Hotel building is still blazing with fire. We are looking up to America to give us Fighter jets..HELLOOO!! We need a decent fire engine as so many of our major cities are on fire and every time the authorities fail to control it! The TV reporters were telling that the poor firemen do not even have protective clothing and are in fact dressed in plain clothes.

As usual no helpline is set up to make matters worse for the affected families. They have to rush from one hospital to another to know the where abouts of their loved ones.
The instant there is such news, all you can do is call up your acquaintances and once assured that they are safe sit back and watch news on TV. YES, its sad but true that we have become so immune to these blasts.

And obviously once again our high officials would say that a committee will be formed and will submit its unpublished useless report with in a week. There will be no change in our policy as militants have to be dealt with force but our beloved AMERICA with peace. Pakistan Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar, said that no Muslim would do such a thing. All I could say is no Muslim would do what our President did when his wife was Prime minister!

God save Pakistan and Pakistanis!!

So what if Musharraf has Resiged?

Yeah that's right! Sadly Pakistan is a nation that does not learn from its history and indeed history repeats itself. All the dictators either suffered accidental deaths or were forced to resign but each dictator thought that he would be different and YES that includes Mr. Musharraf as well.

After seven years I am sure our ex President Musharraf will come from exile and he will be received with open arms amongst the crowd of people just like the way we received Benazir Bhutto (who was labeled as corrupt and incompetent) and Nawaz Sharif (who preferred to ran away rather face a sentence).

Only after 7 years when this Govt. will fail yet again and people will get tired of hearing so called "TALKS" being held at elite resorts Musharraf will be welcomed!

Missing People and Pakistan's 61st Independence Day

Yesterday it was Pakistan's Independence Day and day before yesterday Lahore was bombarded with another suicide attack. Sadly the targeted ones were police officials and innocent civilians. But fortunately the independence day went fine the high ups danced and the rest of the nation slept peacefully as if its another Sunday. Nice way of celebrating our independence!!
One thing that keeps on bothering me is that whether you give a bribe or take one you are a sinner. Pakistan is selling its people but who the hell is buying them?? The way they have treated Dr. Afia and so many others is such a sad state of affairs. It just makes you heart boil and your blood pressure rise but that's all that a simple house wife like me can do. And yes I can pray for them and feel their pain and understand not fully obviously but somewhat their misery.
Where are all the Human Rights activists?
Check out these links for more information and you will know what we are going through while the others are ensuring their safety!!1
