The statistics of modern era speaks loud the progress of techno spectra. The man can fly like bird in the sky and swim like fish in the water. The globe is small village in making, quite encouraging these comments may seem but the logic says that the coin has two faces. The world may be shrinking but the line of difference is widening between two worlds within, between rich and poor, usual and unusual, able and unable, optimists and pessimists, north and south and east and west. Rich is enriched and poor is becoming poorer. Both worlds are different but within one world. The life on one side is luxury and misery on the other. Days come and nights go, nights come and days go, both belong to the same world but never meet. We think and plan beyond earth to dwell on moon and conquer other planets. Contrary to this still there arise a number of villages which are yet to appreciate what electricity is. Their voice is choked before reaching the responsible air. Scientists are trying to increase life span of humans, launch projects to save earth and work for prosperity and same people compete in making destructive nuclear weapons, new polluting machines, drugs and poisonous chemicals. Both occupy and share the same globe. Humans launch awareness programmes for women empowerment, liberty and freedom and same humans made women sex toys and used them for commercial benefits. Both are living in one world. World forums which pass resolutions for peace and harmony, those who loudly profess equality or govern by those who freely attack innocents, who invade nations for resources and geopolitics, both worlds are within one world. Judiciary legalise the unnatural relation of sexual intercourse between same gender and same judiciary is trying to seek accountability for rapes that are toiling in number. Both worlds run parallel to each other within one world.
Every month many entertaining romantic thrills hit the screen for leisure and entertainment and the same month witnesses suicides because of stress and poverty. Both exist all together. State machinery is after illegal vegetable vendors and raidi walas for illegally occupying footpaths and same machinery unseen the seen and unheard the heard, but when it comes to big fishes bureaucrats and politicians for illegitimate acts, the line is very flexible. The worlds are within one world.
There is MUNNI, a seven year old school going angelic faced, whose face represents pride of nation, and there is a MUNNI who represents the world of nuisance, whose item song warrants the defamation of female folk. Both MUNNIs live in the same world.
That is two worlds within.

Handful Of Loss!
A HANDFUL OF LOSS
Light goes off from our lives. Invisible hands do their job quite successfully and again Ummah is at receiving end…
“I beg all of you, please! Don’t create havocs of bomb blasts in mosques, please! Don’t kill innocents; your brothers by your foolish acts as Pakistanis did. Fear Almighty before doing such an act”. These are the golden words which I remember from one of the lectures of Moulana Showket Ahmad shah(a r), the person with immense knowledge, religious richness ,polite character ,able administrator & exuberant political wit. Once again a pole star vanished off from our skies ,who used to guide minds & souls of thousands in number. His assassination is totally irreparable for thousands & thousands of years. Moulana used to rule the hearts and his every word of his would be a honey drop for a keen listener .His ideological cleanliness beyond lines & sects & his unmatched efforts for Kashmir will linger in our hearts.
I clearly remember the lecture of his I attended at Baramulla two days before his assassination & unfortunately it was the last time I heard him. I am prime witness of tranquillity and peace pondering out from every sentence he uttered. He continued his lecture from evening till late night and people heard him without any hustle. His lecture was full of wit and broadmindedness. It was before this attack that several futile attempts were made to supress his voice but on 8th of April, they succeed in looting our treasure.
Yes, aftermath will witness a hot political tussle from left right and centre. Many fingers will be raised towards many others, a session of debates and discussions will be held and all will be a big political show. As usual kashmiris will sense in late hours about this irreparable loss of a brave soul. The incident is totally inhumane and is worst kind of a mind-set which claimed a gem out of a crown. However there will be a sluggish investigation which will land nowhere after decades. Many will try to win votes using it as a trump card and others will leave no stone unturned to disintegrate social fabric.
Whatever will be the situation, the fact is that the danger of being good still prevails and light went off quite earlier from our lives.
