Pleasures of Wealth and Pains of Poverty
By Amber Ghaffar • Jul 20th, 2008 • Category: Misc • (4,595 views) • 31 CommentsJust a while before i was watching fondly an interview of Famous event manager Zareen Khalid (famous for her shadi and mehndi managements ) .almost speechless i was imagining how much extra money these UPPER CLASSIAs have for their TASTE and standard maintenance .at the same time glimpse of those news headings of suicides due to economic pressure were running in my frontal cortex.
I was just thinking again and again COULD i ever get a chance to see these UPPER CLASSIAS faces ,how they react after reading the news of suicides due to poverty .do they really read those newspapers who publish such terrible and shameful news. The 3 main reasons for attempted and completed suicides in 2005 were
1) Domestic Problems, 2) Admonishment and 3) Unemployment.
In 2006, however, Unemployment became the second most common reason and Admonishment the third (an extract from Report By Aleyha Ahmed, HRCP Intern 2007 “Trend Analysis of Human Rights Violations- 2005 & 2006″)
www.hrcp-web.org/hrcpDetail_2.cfm?catId=166&catName=Reports it was so emotionally painful to listen all this and at the same time thinking about the people who are dying and killing not only their ownself but also their loved ones just because they dont have a less than 1 percent cost of these SO CALLED EVENTS in their pockets .
Think about it 5 or 6 lacs event management …what would be its 1 percent I am not good at mathematics but i do know that a human (i still consider these poor creatures human) living in some lower class area of Karachi, Lahore , Pindi , gujranwala etc dont even earn this 1 percent. Do they ever feel embarrassment for a single moment for such taste which is infact test for the lower class s courage and patience that how long they could resist this embarrasment of not affording AATA or books or new shoes to their poor kids and when they move to STORES TO BUY rapid and less painful poison. .
Respectful Zareen khalid (amina haq is her niece) and her lot belongs to upper classias.her minimum charges is perhaps in THOUSANDS …(3 lac compare Jugan kazim mentioned imagine 70 thousand as her minimum ).
…..
does this article of mine ,jumbled emotional tone of mine, could have enough strength and stimuli to change their tastes which cost millions .(i belong to middle class family and recently we renovated our kitchen that took more than 50 thousand ) hmmmm around 5 days before i saw a masterpiece of ASHFAQ AHMED “fahmida ki kahani” …
I pray to ALLAH dont send any fahmida near to these tastefull events some one inside me says hey amber dont worry security guards are quite active insSHALLAH there would be no FAHMIDA around …..ha fahmida could see it on t.v read about it in newspapers and think about dying of embarrassment or becoming like them thru any means …. latter option is more common and acceptable in our society of morals…………..

i m really sorry to RAZA HAIDER … CUZ i wrote it as an emotional reaction … i mite not written the things properly
as i mentioned ZAREEN KHALID IS a famous event manager esp famous for her wedding arrangements she takes thousands just for arrangement.i gotta listen her interview by chance and i wrote about the comparision between a poor and wealthy person. FEHMIDA KI KAHANI is a story written by our ASHFAQ AHMED which was dramatized on PTV .i gave REFERENCE of a character OF THIS drama ..NAME OF THT one was FAHMIDA .
fahmida was a young orphan girl living with her mother in a servant quarter of some rich family.this girl was so sensitive ,used to work in that home as well .but when a wedding of family came she saw the huge difference from their class and that richie family .she started feeling depressed and reached on such a level that one day her some vessel ruptured and she died ..her mother who used to understand this all ,goes to a lawyer for filing a case against these rich people .according to her ,her duaghter died cause of extra show off by that family…and story ends when that woman gotta know that there is no LAW to catch such MURDERERS . ….very old drama perhaps of 80s…..it is one of MASTERPIECE by ASHFAQ AHMED …u could read it from his DRAMA COLLECTION books i m sorry again if i failed to describe it rightly…

i used to beleive in KHURRAM SINGH s theory as well but now after the seeing life s different faces i reached to this point ,THAT EXTRA THROWING OF MONEY ON THINGS LIKE DECORATION AND STUFF IS NOT AT ALL FEASIBLE .
what sorta competition this all is producing .could i become millionare in a month hardly 2 OUT OF 100 chances are there to be millionare in a month with LEGAL MEANS.other wise you knnow what are the ways .the point is not that v leave liking good things or in other words stop following our taste .but one should remember that what does eating this 1000 rupees meal mean to this system .
how much we give to our MASIs .
my point is not that that we should leave our taste but to understand what is the limit .
a very simple example is of OUR TAILORS (DARZAN AND DARZI IN urdu) at most our tailor takes around 200 or bit more for a simple cotton suits stitching ,rite, now the same sort made suite from a boutique costs more than thousand (say 1500 ,and its the minimum) .and obviously this is not lie .and i am giving example of cheap boutiques not of BRANDED designers. ponder on this for a while .does not this money one could save to serve a bit our poor fellows.
great to c comments from teller .i appreciate ur views and wanna be in touch for constant advice on writing skills. i used to beleive this that there should be healthy competition in society .but do we have such system .why we all think and believe United states as Land of oppurtunity (despite abusing united states for our each flaw) cause there they provide almost equal oppurtunities for people .
i am against of banned on food serving in weddings cuz i believe that one should be educated and courageous enough to understand that what is the limit.

@ Mr. Aftab,
I agree with most of your points. I still would only say that our biggest problem is that we do not take responsibility of our actions (in other words, we all love playing the blame game).
The poor blames the rich for their miseries, the rich blames the government, the government blames Musharraf sb, the mulla blames America and the game just goes on and on.
And no one cares to take a look at themselves FIRST before pin pointing fingers at other. i tell you the problem of the middle & poor class, they cannot improve themselves and they just wait for some miracles to happen and meanwhile play the blame game.
(with great power, comes great responsibility, a line from the spider man 2) unfortunately for the paki’s (i’m sorry to say), with great power comes greater corrupt, misuse of authority, injustice, favoritism. How do we expect to get better? We don’t know the meaning of education, rules, regulations, principles >> people don’t have basic road sense here brother and we speak of degrees and education? we violate traffic signals at every given “opportunity”, we give a sh*t to zebra crossings, we spit pan/gutka/menpori stuff on roads like nobody’s business (gosh), we smoke on public places (there’s a huge list of such things).
First get our society (masses = poor) out of this cigarrete, pan & gutka culture, develop some basic civic sense, teach our people to be tolerant & non violent, than i’ll get to the EVILS of the wealthy class, which doesn’t affects on a NATIONAL LEVEL even if they’re to be pointed out.

Dear aftab! I love your engaging attitude. This is the only way to dig and gain.
Experience is a perception which can only be felt when it is indulged iatrogenically.
The reason to use this term “iatrogenic” is to explain the essence of such acts in the form of pleasure or displeasure.
Specifically, during episodes of unintentional circumstances results of perception is different, whereas prepared and forecasted, events have different perception of feel.
Logically, in the two conditions of different input, although results are similar but feel have different pleasure.
This disparity of perception, although the configuration of events, have similar presentation and expected results, are still apart, from pleasure point of view.
What is it that isolates the two feel, though the designed mode and operandi were similar?
It was the intention.
Intention expresses the upcoming move, action and motivated desire.
Accomplishment is the endpoint of intended desire.
Whether it is an unintended action or intended move, pathway is always established by prior laying of blueprint in intended move whereas figuring out events from suffix or as proceeded in unintended move.
It is this laid pathway that becomes the established fact as experience.
Such experiences that have established domains have general applicability.
General applicability is always beyond the margin, premises and demarcation of environment, place and persons, and is always the subject of discussion in contextual and relative theme.
Due to its vast domain of interaction with multidimensional applicability, this theme is always perceived, practice and applied and not implemented, as role model or only mode of standard operative procedure.
If such experiences in the form and format of pleasure or displeasure are floated from the platform of an individual who had calculated the event and crossed the bridge, it is always taken as knowledge in the form of experience, exposure, skill, and understanding as familiarity.
It is this point where perception in the form of unintended or intended desire is withheld deliberately by the floater bearing experience as knowledge, and reality as theme, enters the dimension residing on the plateau of known and defined experience.
Although reality and perception are different siblings of same parentage, yet logically and conceptually the two have separate entity.
Similarly the two have different routes of entrance, aspects of positions, tendency as phenomena and horizon of input.
In spite of this difference of variant and opposite domains similarity in configuration assemble the two on same platform of interpretation.
It is this interpreted, organize, integrated evaluated, assertive, dominant and calculated notion that again enters the forum of discussion as experience, exposure, and knowledge.
Dear it is not like that we can dictate our generation what is reality? They got to cross the cause way so to reach the desired position.
Though, it is our experiences, knowledge and skill as exposure which may guide and move their fate in a calculated manner so that they come up with minimal deterrence, hindrance and obligations as restrictions to achieve the targets .Regards.
