Some Bitter Facts

Since, Pakistan got rid of dictators like Ayub khan, Zia ul haq and Musharraf our democratic governments have a lot of problems to face. We can’t even count these problems. We always used to cry for the end of anxious and epoch period of Musharraf because that was the worst period in which as a nation we lost our respect honor and dignity in the world.

All the countries in the entire world marked us a terrorist country. We were considered the most immoral, un civilized and vulgar nation of the world. We had grievances from that dictatorship and their awful, wrong and frustrated policies but fortunately, we got redeem of that frustrated era.

When we passed through elections in 2008, the whole nation was in a hope of gaining back our honor dignity and respect in the front of the world but unfortunately, we failed once again.

There are some minor developments but the comparison of successes and failures makes the success ignorable. For example, first serious issue was loss of ties between military and civilian leadership on Kerry Lugar Bill, which military believed would affect, National security and the other serious issue was about Swat operation in 2009, which led to many collateral damages and many naïve civilians were killed and internally displaced, all these are considered as the failure of policies because by the name of National interest many innocents were killed.

Now, at the end of Pakistan People Party (PPP) tenure, people of Pakistan were feed up of PPP because of their wrong policies, there was no national interest in their policies what going on were only for self interest in 2013 general elections, people of Pakistan rejected PPP and gave a chance to PMLN, nation had a lot of hope in their eyes but when PMLN won elections it turned a nightmare for the country because we got isolated in the world in PMLN era, we lost SAARC because of failure of good and effective diplomacy other than SAARC we lost the back up of our good and long lasted friend China in Bricks conference we lost ties with our brother Afghanistan due to our failure of good and valuable diplomacy there are many other examples which will show us the empty space in our diplomacy which need to be filled immediately.

Many political figures called China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) as a result of good policy of existing civilian government but, as far as I  consider there are many serious concerns of military leadership with civilian leadership over CPEC which have led our country to instability and this is also a big failure of democratic government other than this, two weeks ago at FATF in Paris, Indian and Americans were trying to keep Pakistan on back foot by running a diplomacy to put Pakistan in Black list countries putting Pakistan on black list means affecting the economy and foreign aid funds of Pakistan but luckily Pakistan survived it and protected itself from Black list at the first meeting. China, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia were backing Pakistan but after three days at second meeting these countries quitted their stance and demanded Pakistan to act against UNO designated “Jamat ud dawah” and “Jaish” all these are serious concerns for our governments to be focused because this can make the situations more horrible and this will pave the way to our global loneness.

We still have time to repair our frosty ties with our neighbor countries because it will bring peace to our region and will pave the way for good diplomatic relations.

Last week, Iran’s FM invited us to take part in Chabahar port which is a good and positive response for good relations with Iran and this can end dispute amongst Iran and Pakistan over many issues. last night, president of Afghanistan invited Pakistan’s PM Shahid Khaqqan Abbasi to have a table meeting to end rivalry and repair the ties, as far as my opinion is concerned, Pakistan should accept all these invitations because it can end our economic and diplomatic crisis with our neighbor countries.

Paper Book vs E-book

We cann't rebuttal that anything which is in draft is more comprehensive than oral or those which is limited mouth to mouth.

If, we glance toward the era of 5th-6th century and onward to few more decades. It was the beginning period of the Last Prophet Hazrat Muhammad SAW and also the last version of Islam.
When the revealing of Quran incepted, initially Prophet Muhammad SAW immediately memorized and also advice the "Sahabas" to write it. There were no resource and medium of writing but still they knew the benefits of writing things or drafting. They were mainly use to write on leafs, bones, stones and camel's fell.

Hazrat Muhammad SAW was the most intellectual person in the history of human mankind, he knew the value of drafting that is why he strickly adviced to write every verse.

Later on, with the passage of time humans were developing and they continued their struggle and strive for their comfortable life as much as they can.
After much struggle the world acquired the first Printing Machine in 16 century. It was invented by the Germans and they printed the Bible for the very first time. Due to that revolutionary step the trend manuscript instantly converted to the computerize writing. People were used papers to write something and similarly the designed and binded books were started and available in the market.

Now, we are living in the age of science and technology or 21 century. We have the varieties and rest of choices of different kind of books. Now, we can read books digitally due to the advance computerize and the science and technology revolution. All the credit goes to the Marshall McLuhan who has given the idea of Globalization. Then we are living in the global village where we can easily communicate and study culture of different community and societies which exist anywhere in the world. We can easily read books within seconds after given it to the internet.

There are basically two types of ways to read books. The Paper books and the E-books.
Paper book is called, the materials which are written either computerized or manuscript but it should tangible and in hard form.
E-books are reciprocal or inversely proportional to the Paper books. Simply, those type of book which are in soft form and are non tangible called E-books.

Most of the people prefer text instead of digital books. Their arguments are, they feel comfortable when they read Paper books or which are in their hand.They say, we have the psychological belief on hard books because we can shift back and forward where and when we want and also we could underline the difficult words or sentences in order to search it later. The most important thing in Paper book is we have no anxiousness if there is no internet or less power in mobile or laptop we can read such type of books everywhere and anytime.

A 2013 Norwegian study of the reading pattern of tenth graders showed that students who read on paper scored significantly better in reading comprehension than those who read text digitally.
Most of the students give the priority to read Paper on digital reading because there is surmount tendency of acknowledgment and acquiring of information in Paper books.

Whereas, E-books also play a vital role in the dissemination of knowledge and information to the reader.
If, we talk about the average of Paper readers then we have also an acme number of people who prefer and give the pro-priority to read in E-papers.
E-books have a numerous benefits also. For example, it is low costed and it is available in just one click away from you.
Digital papers are reached by everyone with having no such strive and endeavor. It has more options like hyperlinks.

In fact, people who read E-books seem to read more books than those who read paper books.

In one such study readers who preferred to read from screens we found to perform as well as those who has read the text from papers.
