Widening the Canal Road:
Dangers of developmental myopia
Chasing the megalomania
often associated with a megapolis, the insistence of authorities to widen
Canal Road in Lahore is indicative of their narrow views associated with
greed and self-serving reasons. The adverse impact on the environment
as well as related culture will be tremendous – however, not without
concerned and aware citizens resisting such developmental myopia, all
too visible in this venture.
MISSING!
An efficient public transit system
There is
an urgent need to streamline transit systems all across Pakistan and
experts call for implementing this, rather than widening the Canal Road
in Lahore.
Lack
of water policy is suicidal
In crisis, the sensible
and urgent step to curb the threat is to immediately seek plausible
solutions, both for short and long time relief. The most serious problem
in our country at present is water — the lifeline of any nation
— and it calls to us to work on a war footing towards proper remedies,
which start with a sensible policy.
The
climate change conundrum
Climate change skeptics insist that nothing is happening,
that global warming is a figment of diametrically opposed collective
consciousnesses with those unsure either way swinging like squeaky pendulums
between each camp and yet, if the staunch unbelievers bothered to tune
in to nature, the undisputable evidence that 'something' is happening
is there for all to see.
Ashened skies
Due to
recent volcano events in Iceland, thousands of flights across the globe,
especially to and from Europe were interrupted and cancelled, as well
as airports closed. Although economially cheaper, a reconsideration
of these routes in Northern Hemisphere is in order, as these are knowingly
planned over a region filled with volcanoes.
Earth and Water days celebrated
Both the annual Earth
day and World Water Day were celebrated by Subh-e-Nau with students,
teachers and individuals that participated with enthusiasm. By involving
themselves in constructive activities, they contributed towards improving
environmental conditions within their reach.
Film Review
Don't be Stupid
The first
person who thought it was a good idea to see the film, actually thought
it was a comedy. A far cry from the title, the Age of Stupid (AOS) is
a seriously shocking film with many instances that keeps you involved
with its plot, the lives of five people in different continents and
the way things are being done now.
Hail
to the “King of Fruits”
Mango, “the King
of Fruits” reigns over our minds and bodies, not only as being one
of the most delicious foods around, but also because it is rich with health
benefits.
Laugh your toubles away

and appreciate humor is a marvelous source for overcoming troubles,
