Karachi Blasts- A message for all!

As the news ticker flashed on the TV screens, there were a number of telephone calls and text messages having the same question; 'Are you oksy?'

On 5th February,2010, two blasts occured in Karachi. (Maybe the next year this date would be more remebered because of the blasts, as compared to its association with Kashmir day). A motorcycle hit a bus of mourners, and another blast took place in the Jinaah hospital. This not only left the Shia Muslims in terror, but the whole nation was a subject to violence. After analysing the situation persisting in Karachi, I suppose such a news is pretty usual for us. However, the bang and the sirens which i heard the other day, had a special message for me.

Life is so unpredictable. At one moment you are laughing, and the other you are being carried on the shoulders of four strangers. Whenever people die, i feel the pain. It is not only the matter as to how will their families survive, but it makes me realize as to what am i doin with my life. Do i have enough of those good deeds which will save me from the fire of hell? Did i fulfill that purpose for which i was created. Although such questions eat me inside, yet unfortunately the glamour of this temporary world overpowers such thoughts. Verily, this weakness will make me suffer in the end!
