What makes this poem different from a normal love song?

Life is such a thing that at times it takes us to a point where no matter what we think or try to do, we are left helpless, only with a hope that may be someday everything will become alright; well till then its only suffering…

This is very nice, a nice story told with plenty of emotion. Sounds very thoughtful and reflective. I really like the simple lines “Jeene ke liye socha hi nahin, Dard Sanmbhaalne honge; Muskuraayen to, Muskuraane ke karz utaarne Honge” It sounds like you are starting to let yourself slip into platitudes, then you remember the purpose of what you are saying, and you get back to being honest with yourself and with your life. It’s effective.

I would like to share the marvelous lyrics of this beautiful song, look and feel the depth and emotions inside it, isn’t it everybody’s story?

Military Inc. Front CoverThe latest book Military Inc.: Inside Pakistan�s Military Economy, written by Ayesha Siddiqa is a tell all narration of the highly profitable company called The Pakistan Army.

Ayesha Siddiqa is a military analyst with a PhD in war studies from King�s College, London. Her recently published book, Military Inc: Inside Pakistan�s Military Economy as already created ripples, with the ISPR sending rejoinders to the media without actually reading the book from cover to cover, claims Siddiqa. It took her two years to write the book and three years to research it. Her earlier book was Pakistan�s Arms Procurement and Military Buildup, 1979-99.

I uploaded Military Inc.� Inside Pakistan�s Military Economy, a book by Dr. Ayesha Siddiqa, as a public service to the people of Pakistan. I don’t intend to earn any commercial gains from it. It is right of every person to find out about the real intentions of our beloved army. Dr. Ayesha will appreciate more and more people having easy access to her publication. Though it is your moral responsibility to buy this book as soon as you can to support her cause.
