Dear Faisal
I am writing with reference to your programme telecast on Eid and let me confess before going any further that i am not any die hard kind of a fan. But honestly i really liked the way you do the show. And its a nice change while watching Media and political discussions. Atleast someone is thinking positively and it will definitely effect everyone linked to that programme. The interview with the old guy with drum was the essence of whole show infect the moral of the story, the secret to a happy life. But unfortunately the young miss on your show was nothing more then a naughty girl. Well she was right but maybe she has no idea what the big picture is about our system and culture. But thats her upbringing and education that made her think positively. But unfortunately majority of our population has to spend more time fulfilling their basic needs. Anyway to cut it short the whole package was a collection of very nice thoughts and well described theories by Dr. Fauzia with the amazing words by that old man. But i was wondering what next? Well forgive me for my stubbornness but i dont see any point of changing oneself and believing that this will change the society and not criticizing your or your good faith i dont think that painting horses or doing traffic control one day will effect our system in long term. There are so many people doing such a great job and if by doing positive things on individual basis could have changed society it would have been achieved years back. but unfortunately that did not happened. Like you did this traffic control and did an excellent job but now what? do you think this will change the whole system???? Secondly if we start feeling bad about everything that will not help us at all. Like start wasting my energy in correcting everyone who is breaking traffic rules, throwing garbage out of the car or in whatever way doing the wrong thing then i am sure i am not going to last long. and before the end of the day i will either go mad or make people near me mad. I think if i spend all my energies to one thing only, lets say i commit myself that from today onwards i will make sure that i dont give charity to people begging in streets and roads and i will try convincing people to do the same. I can print out papers and distrubute to my friends/make banners do 1-2 minutes talks on the main chowks asking people to not to do this anymore. I commit myself that in 6 months or 1 year i will get everyone in my town sign an undertaking that they wont give away charity to these professional beggars. Well thats my contribution to my system. I will spend all my energies to this one task only. collect like minded people who are willing to spend some time on this task from their routine life and make sure that in 1 year i will achieve this task. so that after exact one year i can stand up and say i have done this once and forever in my town. Once the example is we can do something else. Let's correct our traffic system or our mosques whatever... but whatever we do we do with our full energies and dedication rather then just talking about everything happening in the system. I have all the faith that all we need is a leader and direction and Allah has given your this ability to inspire people and make them do things like this. You can collect them in a group give them this task. Just do it on internet all the discussions and all the distribution material. everyone uses their own resources and spread the word. But they do it as a group and as a project with a deadline. Lets start with Karachi or my city Islamabad with the motto that in one year time we will make our city bigger free, who ever want to give charity they find people in need near them or give to shaukat khanum/SUIIT/sahara where ever they like.....
