@Shehzad89 Provinces are administrative units; Pakistan is bigger than Germany, yet it is one state, while Germany is divided into 15 states. The results are evident. Please stop selling thoughts for encouragement from political crooks.
@Shehzad89 Pretending to be intelligent is the biggest mockery of intelligence. At least you have equipped with reasonable historical knowledge; how can you be that biased that you reflect your likes or dislikes?
From the cold streets to a warm classroom filled with care and kindness 🥺 ❤️
This little one has finally found his sunshine and a place to belong...

An absolutely beautiful article from a column which I have followed for years and always hope that it survives for many more decades- The Speaking Tree in the Economic Times or Times of India.
This week's piece was beautifully written- The Linearity of Luck.
"There is a quiet assumption most of us carry: that life unfolds in straight lines.
Work harder, meet more people, try a little more and outcomes will increase in proportion.
But life does not obey straight lines. It behaves more like a river in space: branching, swirling, multiplying—the force in ways that cannot be predicted by addition.
What we call luck often belongs to this deeper nonlinear rhythm. Physicist Safi Bahcall describes how systems, whether molecules or human groups, can suddenly shift states when conditions change. Psychologist Richard Wiseman found that luck is less about chance and more about openness.
So, luck does not grow linearly; it grows superlinearly.
Imagine standing still, doing the same things, meeting the same people, walking the same streets. Your world is a closed circle.
Now imagine stepping beyond that circle.
A new conversation is not just one new interaction; it is an entry point into another universe of connections, ideas and pathways.
"For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn't understand growth, it would look like complete destruction," says Cynthia Occelli.
Luck is not a random gift; it is the natural outcome of an open mind. The 'lucky' person is not necessarily more intelligent, privileged or deserving.
They are simply more available to people, ideas and subtle invitations that life extends."
Iqbal had a complex relationship with Karl Marx's ideas. On one hand, Iqbal acknowledged Marx's contributions to social and economic thought, but on the other hand, he criticized some of Marx's ideas and rejected his approach to religion.
Iqbal believed that Marx's analysis of the capitalist system was insightful and that his critiques of the exploitation of the working class were important. However, he disagreed with Marx's emphasis on materialism and his rejection of religion. Iqbal argued that religion was an essential component of human life and that it played a crucial role in shaping society and individual behavior.
In his book "The Reconstruction of Religious Thought in Islam," Iqbal criticized Marx's philosophy as being fundamentally flawed because it failed to recognize the importance of religion in human life. According to Iqbal, Marx's materialistic approach was inadequate for addressing the spiritual and moral dimensions of human existence.
Moreover, Iqbal also criticized Marx's view that religion was simply a tool of oppression used by the ruling class to control the masses. Iqbal argued that religion was a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that could not be reduced to a single function.
In conclusion, Allama Iqbal had a nuanced view of Karl Marx's ideas. While he acknowledged the importance of Marx's critique of capitalism and the exploitation of the working class, he also criticized his materialistic approach and rejected his rejection of religion. Iqbal believed that religion was an essential component of human life and that it played a crucial role in shaping society and individual behavior.
Anyway, this couplet in the picture above is from Iblees ki Majlis-e-Shura (Devil’s advisory council) where Iblees and his advisors are talking about Marx and how he challenged their blood sucking imperial capitalistic system. 13th March is Karl Marx’s death anniversary.

وہ بلائیں تو کیا تماشا ہو
ہم نہ جائیں تو کیا تماشا ہو
یہ کناروں سے کھیلنے والے
ڈوب جائیں تو کیا تماشا ہو
بندہ پرور جو ہم پہ گزری ہے
ہم بتائیں تو کیا تماشا ہو
آج ہم بھی تری وفاؤں پر
مسکرائیں تو کیا تماشا ہو
تیری ��ورت جو اتفاق سے ہم
بھول جائیں تو کیا تماشا ہو
وقت کی چند ساعتیں ساغرؔ
لوٹ آئیں تو کیا تماشا ہو
