Goats

A goat might not be the mans best friend but some of them certainly love human beings. They need to see a man all the time. The moment they cant see any person near by they start bleating no matter how many other goats they have to their company. You are lucky if you get such a goat on Eid? Might be. But only before the Eid day. To see such a goat being slaughtered infront of your eyes will certainly hurt you. I really hate this animal slaughtering.
The Eid day passed as usual. Molvi sahab's sermon at the Eid prayer was interesting. Referring to the mobile ring tones he said, "masjidon main likha honay k bawajood mobile bol partay hain...yani namaz k doran moseeki...tobah astaghfirullah...ab to logo ne alarms bhi moseeki walay lagaye hotay hain (that was astonishing to him and his astonishment made me astonish) ...main science k khilaf nahi laikin jithay v jao ae science bol paindi ae..chahay banda so raha ho ya kaheen or ho (he was so dumb and could not even realise that it was solely due to science that his voice was audible to that gathering of thousands) ...ye moseeki musalmano ka sheva nahi hai...sab bhai hath ooper karain or kahain k ainda moseeki or ganay walai bell nahi sunain gay" I was among those who did not raise their hands.
No wonder why we cant progress. I mean these molvis can be a great help to bring a social change. No other person gets so frequent a chance to address a large gathering of people. They could discuss social/political matters at the sermons. They could talk about the upcoming elections. They could advise us to cast our votes. They could talk about the flour shortage in the markets, the loadshedding, the high prices. They could talk about the suicide bombings. They could talk about international issues. What does music has to do with all that? If they think that discarding music will automatically reform everything then I think they are living in a fool's paradise. The country's state can change if all the molvis start taking part in the country's development programs.
