Water crisis!

Water has become a rare commodity...in our home...

And every night as i put on the suction... i recite salawat, praying to God to be kind enough to send enough water so that we can easily use it the next day long...

Sometimes it comes somedays doesnt...

There were times when water used to over flow and we used to wash the whole terrace with water... now we dont even have enuf to water the few plants... and every day i walk outside a prayer is sent to them... God please let them live... send them enuf livelihood... for these plants are just as much part of our family as those ducks which our neighbours have taken as pets... and mostly left to roam around for food on our streets...

for this time if my plants die i will not buy them again... reason... i dont have enuf water for them...

And when during this crisis, i come across news like India is responsible for our water shortages as they have got illegitimate hold on our part of the water... my sentiments of anger arouse for the indian government... and i am suddenly looking at them as enemy...

And then i sent a prayer to Gulab, for he lives in an even more destitute place then i... and to even imagine he ever went to sleep with no food or water makes my heart reach out to see if he (My kid, one i cudnt give birth to) is sleeping peacefully... and that his parrents have ample to ensure he is always well provided...

and not juts Gulab so many of the people residing around the country around the world...for if u cannot afford enuf food and water... u r facing the worlds biggest injustice... dont mind the lack of education, electricity... but water and bread... how can anyone survive without that...

If God is the only one who can do anything abt it... then Allah i ask you to provide ample for ur creation...everywhere... no matter how much man himself tries to snatch away from each other...

  2. Oh my God, I hope you get water really soon. ♥
    I've heard stories of India trying to suck out the water supply from the Indus. :/ I'm assuming you live in the Punjab region?
    Did you miscarry Gulab? I didn't get that part. DX

  3. No i live in Karachi... and yes i am really getting worried abt water...the only thing that stops me from crying a lot abt it is when i know there are ppl doing in even worse conditions then i am... and may be this is the kind of test we have to face...and kind of trials and to learn to respect these resources and thank God more...

    Gulab is a kid i met in the school i started to volunteer... i dont know... he resembled my nephew a lot initially so i got a super liking for him, but as i observed him and saw him as a person i started to love him like my own flesh... So whether its his birthday, or someone tries to mess with him... i have to make sure he is comfortable and i am able to add a smile to his day...and well...i cant totally explain what led me to these feelings for him... but since they are there i will bow to them without questioning them...:)


    Sorry for my poor writing skill... one thing i never can really do is re-read wat i have written to see if it makes sense...i never intended it for anyone to read just to let myself out so i don't spill at wrong places, getting myself in trouble...:)

    Thanx for following:)

  4. Oh, now I get it. I'm so slow. -_- That's so sweet, you treat Gulab like your own child. :)
    It's okay if you don't have perfect English-I think your posts are very interesting. As long as your message gets through, I don't think your writing skills really matter. ♥
