Not the best of times



You know what I can’t stand, most of all, is animal abuse anywhere in the world & how illegitimate babies are killed in our part of the world. But it has occurred to me that these slaughtering of kids by their own parents too is something which is heart-rending & not at all acceptable. But can anything be done to stop this devilish act? By the time, the culprits are caught, the children are already dead. Whether the child is legitimate or illegitimate, he/she can be harmed at any time.


The other day, I posted that pic of those 2 naked kids & I had a little discussion with my pals. We all arrived at the same conclusion that we have been ungrateful for lots of things. Yeah life is not a bed of roses, but most of us are not swimming in the ocean of fire. It’s another thing if you take your problem to be the biggest one & you like to create your own bogeyman.


Honestly, this seems to be a very strange world where almost everyone is suffering or is being tormented by another being. As much as people think they are free, we can’t deny the existence of chains everywhere.


Sometimes I wonder whether people really care or is it all a pretence. I’m so sorry to say but I have seen that some people go on pretending & they think that all the others are fools just like them. Maybe pretence is something that comes naturally to these folks. People talk about doing good stuff, but disappear when they are needed.


I don’t know the name of the organization but these people look after little girls & make sure that they get educated & then get married to the right kind of people. Actually one of my aunties has often visited this place & according to her, it’s a reliable place for girls.


I came to know on Sunday that 8 or 9 people in Karachi have been looking after more than 40 cats or so. One person has 70 cats. Another one is a maulana sahab & he has 50 cats. Then there are some who look after at least 30-35 cats. This is indeed good news, but the vet was telling us that no one has the time to work for the animal shelter. But there are many people who are willing to donate money. By the way, we have a lousy animal shelter in Karachi, but they are not doing anything worthy at all. And where I live the so-called posh DHA, they still kill innocent dogs & puppies whenever they are in the mood.
