I won’t go to this school anymore...” Zaid controlled his breath and said carelessly. “Why son? Is everything okay? is there any problem with this school?” Ammi came out of kitchen and asked so many questions as she was worried for Zaid. Zaid begun to say, “Abbu, teacher at my school knows nothing. They teach us all the wrong. So, I decided not to go to such school.” He said in a single breathe as he had prepared and practiced this speech many times. “Ohh really? Is that so?” Abbu smiled and asked. “Yes Abbu.” “Well... in that case, could you please tell me what your teacher has taught you that you think is incorrect?” “Ohh Abbu.. teacher said that our earth is not a single piece of land but it consists of several pieces and they are stick together just like a jigsaw puzzle.

Ozone: Our protector ~Usman Aquib          It was noon - the sun was on its peak. Everyone was seated comfortably after lunch while little Zaid entered the house carrying an ice cream in his hand. "Mummy...Mummy! I saw a crazy woman outside who was carrying an umbrella even its not raining! hahaha" Zaid said innocently. Everyone laughed at his words. Abbu lovingly called him and explained , "Son ,she is not crazy, she must have taken an umbrella to avoid the harmful rays of the sun." Zaid looked at the ceiling and started to thinking… Everyone understood that the questions were about to bombard on them and here came his first question..."Harmful rays of the sun ... What is it?"  "Yes, my boy..there are many harmful rays in the direct sunlight. These rays are also called ultraviolet rays which causes skin cancer and other diseases." "Oh good!

बूझो तो कौन है वह? गुलाबों सा महकती है वह चिड़ियों सा चहकती है वह तारों सा चमकती है वह हीरे सा दमकती है वह। कोयल सा गाती हैं वह  हवाओं सा लहराती है वह  कलियों सा इठलाती है वह लज्वंती सा शरमाती है वह। प्यार से खिलती है वह नफरत से झुलसती है वह लहरों सा भटकती है वह   किनारों पर तड़पती है वह।  मेरी सासों से झलकती है वह  मेरे दिल में ठहरती है वह मेरी बातों पर हंसती है वह   मेरी कविता में बस्ती है वह।

The land of god is deprived of his servants  The world has lost its gleam which it had once The streets are empty and empty are the roads.  Crowds are missing and the world has slowed. Azans delayed and prayers started to disappear just muezzin is there and the imam is there The mosques are empty and absent are worshipers. neither exchange of priests in the temples nor the prayers At each corner of the street a soldier you see mischievous boys in a small group  A modern Ibn Battuta they want to be. on the land of God with sew taunt those who are walking with swagger based on authorities, which isn't forever those who flying too high  that Pride, hangover that ill-manner that narcissism that egoistic behavior  that anticipation that advancement  Have no standard no existence  this pride of a king and this ignorance this is the only reason of destruction just a little germ Who has neither a tail nor a head just a little germ Whatever message...
