		<description>&lt;b&gt;Ali&lt;/b&gt;, Please do share that story.
&lt;b&gt;Ausaf Ahmed&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Saeed Khan&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Saleem Khan&lt;/b&gt;, thank you for your kind responses.

&lt;b&gt;Dr Razahaider&lt;/b&gt;, "for tagging your article with the opinion as blended and self created recipes of same old element of testimony and reservation as taunt to our new generation as blame game ." In comment 2, you can see i mentioned that this is a fictional story, thus fictional characters and a fictional dialogue. This is not an article to chronicle the journey and actions of our elders; and of ourselves. Neither is it a social commentary. Its just food for thought that everyone will read in a different light as per their background and experiences in life.

About your inquiry as to the main idea, I mentioned the youth's sense of belonging: &lt;i&gt;'yes, we have to begin charity at home, we have to see the youth gets a sense of being stakeholders in this nation.' &lt;/i&gt; as being the &lt;b&gt;main idea&lt;/b&gt; of the story.

As far as the other points you mentioned are concerned, i &lt;i&gt; already&lt;/i&gt; said in my comment above:&lt;i&gt;"I’ve left the question open at the end; i want to see how people with different kinds of ideas and background shape this vague idea up.'&lt;/i&gt;

It seems you commented post haste without reading my comment, so offended were you at the idea of a blame game being played!

Thank you for your kind words of welcome. And let me reassure you, the only reason this article was written was to benefit from opinions; so your opinion is very very important even though you think its not. 

If you want to go ahead and discuss any of the ideas in the lines you quoted above, please, feel free to do so. Even though they are not the main topic of debate, they are debatable nonetheless. It would be an excellent opportunity for us to benefit from your experience and opinion.</description>

		<description>Dear miss speculation/spectacles /specification/ spectrum/Toporcer and bla bla.

Well come a board and please receive my heartiest gesture along with evergreen remarks for tagging your article with the opinion as blended and self created recipes of same old element of testimony and reservation as taunt to our new generation as blame game . 

Though it’s a difficult situation to emphasize my point on your too many reserving comments but still, please revert by using your prerogative to replenish discussion by scrutiny one single point agenda so that I may have my opinion on the subject,though my opinion is not important. 

Please go through under mentioned lines of your article to embark discussion. Regards

“We did not have it as easy as you.’

We lived for our people.’ 

There is no sense of belonging.

 ‘You kids have become selfish. 

You ask what you can get without wanting to contribute.

The problem with you youth today is, you don’t consider yourself answerable to anyone. 

Where did we fail… what crucial step did we miss?

Is there no one to rise and claim our inheritance back?

I knew if I didn’t work, I would be questioned about the excellent brain I wasted; One that could have done something good, for the, Ummah.’

The only way out of poverty is a decent education.

Nothing goes to waste. 

When the burden of your people’s progress rides heavy on your shoulders, sleep doesn’t come near you.

 ‘When you’re working for the betterment of your people, when you consider them your responsibility, you will end up trying to use every resource.

Maybe we lived in the subcontinent and had to fight to claim our right that is why we worked so hard.
 ‘Where will the sense of belonging come from? Whose fault is it that the youth of today do not feel the Muslim Ummah or their country is their own to build?’

 Great nations are built by people who think of it as their nation. 

People with a sense of ownership.

 People with the view that they are stake holders too.

 The boy smoking on the street corner doesn’t think he is incurring a loss for Pakistan; a loss for Muslims. 

Once you get that, there is no way you would be a slacker or could have a moment to think about sleep. You would be so tired you won’t know when it overtook you.’

If I failed to instill a sense of loyalty to their religious brothers, to their country and to their people, I have failed to raise a child.’

Have we really failed to tell this youth how important he is for his family, his country, his Ummah?</description>
