-تیرے دریاؤں میں مانجھیوں کی صدا، رقص کرتی رہے پھول کھلتے رہیں
ساحلوں ساحلوں چاہتوں کی فضا ، رقص کرتی رہے پھول کھلتے رہیں
کوئی سچل ہو یا کوئی خوشحال ہو ، تیری مٹی پہ مستوں کا دھمّال ہو
آستانِ محبت پہ روحِ وفا، رقص کرتی رہے پھول کھلتے رہیں
آزادی مبارک 🇵🇰

Zindabaad 🇵🇰
-world of a difference between what is written as policy on paper and how it is operationalized in the field.
Former is idealistic and academic. Latter is practical and realist.
Best compromise is to narrow this gap to the extent possible.
🔹(Research musings 💭)
-driving at night with high beams on must be criminalized (!) and/or penalized in some form. Defies all logic to put fellow citizens through unnecessary danger and discomfiture for ones own temporary comfort. Really find it v discourteous.
-pleasure to be back at Foreign Service Academy after nearly a decade. Glad to see so much that has changed & so much that remains familiar. Looking forward to more future interactions. As Ministry’s training arm, FSA is of critical importance..& it remains v close to my heart.
-absolutely loving
