Sindh's Place Under the Sun

July 28, 2007

Dear Friends

I was just listening to a lecture about Korea and its place under the sun. As we all know, there are two Koreas. One of them is South Korea which is a very developed and further developing country. Its technology and standard of living matches that of many parts of europe. Another part of Korea is in a much worse shape. But it may begin to change too.

It made me think about our Sindh and its place under the sun. Again, there are two Sindhs. Karachi is capital of Sindh. It has many problems but is far ahead of the second Sindh which is rural Sindh.

Let us go back a step. "Under the sun", we have USA and Europe who are not only developed but are further developing in every conceivable area of science, technology, living standard etc. Then we have Russia who is coming back in every possible way principally thanks to high prices and income from oil and gas. Then we have Japan, China, Korea, Singapore who are doing well for their people. Even places like Brazil, Mexico, Turkey are moving foward.

Getting closer to Sindh under the sun, we begin to see a different world. We have India which still has a lot of poverty and human misery but it is developing fast with a lot of hope in future. We have oil rich arabs who are enjoying all comforts of the developed world but are faced with enormous unstability and potential wars and disaster.

Coming down from the sun, as we approach Pakistan, we see pockets of significant development such as Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad. But the country also faces huge unstability and potential civil and international wars. The future is less than bright.

As we approach rural Sindh, we see 20% people having a reasonable living. But 80% are drowned in misery. Is there a future for this place? "NO" if the current trends in terms of political and economic discrimination, ethnic war, lack of water, lack of law and order etc continue.

"YES", there is bright future if we can change the current trends. If we can become a part of political detente and understanding, if we can learn to use ethnic diversity to our advantage; if we can learn to make a better use of availabale water; if we can solve law and order problem etc. Yes, none of that is easy. We hope that our discontent and our political agitation will persude some one else to come and solve our problems. It has not happened so far and is not likely to happen soon.

What will be sindh's place under the sun 20 years from now? For example, our whole coast can be like Dubai -- very developed and prosperous with higher incomes spreading to all parts of interior. Or it could be much worse than it is today. Some one has to make right choices.

Your input and help towards development of Sindh is always welcome.

    By representing to us a wish as fulfilled the dream certainly leads us into the future; but this future, taken by the dreamer as present, has been formed into the likeness of that past by the indestructible http://startso11.info/pila.edu.pl.html wish.. Regardless of whatever additions or changes have been made to the original structure, http://startso11.info/ankieta++priorytety+ministra+edukacji.html the analytic point of view remains unchanged.. Yet as her small, trim, youthful figure, with its simple Leghorn straw hat confined by a blue bow under http://startso11.info/ozdoby+szyde%C5%82kowe.html her round chin, passed away before him, she looked more like a child than ever.. She's so sharp about http://startso11.info/www.poszkole%5C%5Cwizytowka.php%3Fuser%3D194158.html finding out things.. He told me with his mother-in-law, I put http://startso11.info/normy+ISO.html in.. But without a quorum we could do http://startso11.info/tahoe.html nothing.. But this effect of consciousness may show a psychic character widely differing from the unconscious process, so that the internal perception cannot possibly recognize the one as a substitute for http://startso11.info/niki+matur.html the other.. I was therefore obliged, much to my regret, to shake my head in the negative, intending thus to give the Angel to understand that I found it inconvenient, just at that moment, to comply with his very reasonable demand! No sooner, however, had I ceased shaking http://startso11.info/Zlot+historycznych+pojazd%C3%B3w+wojskowych+Dar%C5%82owo.html my head than-- Go to der teuffel, ten! roared the Angel of the Odd.. The blonde matron turned to her husband. http://startso11.info/www.salony+jubilerskie+eliza.html. Is it for sale? It sartin is! http://startso11.info/LUTNICTWO.html replied Uncle Billy.. The little one has been noted as a symbol for the male or the female genitals by Stekel, who can refer http://startso11.info/hafas.html in this connection to a very widespread usage of language.. Some portion of the opposition between the latent and manifest content of the dream must be therefore derived from the realization of a wish. http://startso11.info/GAWLIK-TRANSPORTE.html. He was sated; his soul longed to wipe a http://startso11.info/%C5%9Bmieszne+dzwonki+mp3.html spiritual mouth on the back of a spiritual hand, and have done.. My dreams were http://rebestal.info/ron.html terrifically disturbed by visions of the Angel of the Odd.. He was upon his favorite element; water had http://rebestal.info/dcs.pl.html no fears for him.. In the dream facade one would naturally be compelled to think of the parts of the little http://startso11.info/motor+lublin+.pl.html daughter run over and ground up.. The thoughts evoked by the dream http://startso11.info/mi%C5%82o%C5%9B%C4%87+poznaj.pl.html stir up associations which were not noticeable in the dream itself.. I do not use tobacco nor alcohol in any http://startso11.info/foerman.html form, repeated Hotchkiss, ascetically.. We have shown that the waking activity leaves day remnants from which the sum of energy cannot be entirely removed; or the waking activity revives during the day one of the unconscious wishes; or both conditions occur http://startso11.info/szamba+mazowieckie.html simultaneously; we have already discovered the many variations that may take place.. ' The dream then tells you that you cannot give a supper, thereby fulfilling your wish not to contribute anything to the rounding http://startso11.info/www.irip.pl.html out of your friend's figure...
