A Narrative from Philosopher, Educationist and Entrepreneur Jimmy Teo ======================================================= A kindly chatty lady (in her eighties) boarded the taxi from the hospital. She realized quickly that the driver is a little unsure & was driving too slowly. Quite unusual. Most taxi drivers drive fast & at time furious! She extended her hand & lightly tapped the shoulder of the driver, wanting to engage a conversation. The driver gave a yell. He pressed on the brake, screeching the taxi to a halt. Fortunately, there were no cars behind as it was quite late at night. The road was quite dark, dreary & somewhat, scary. The poor taxi driver took a few deep gasps of breath, looked behind & slowly uttered: “Madam, my deepest apologies. I did not mean to brake so suddenly or that I am careless. I just started work as a taxi driver for 3 days. For the past 3 years, my job at the hospital was to handle cadavers (dead bodies). I often dreamed that one of them may wake up & touched me. That is why I quitted the job & took up taxi driving. Today, I decided to come to hospital at this late hour to pick you up. It was done with some apprehension as this is the hospital I last worked in. That sudden foreboding returned. Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 15:10 October 2015 Jimmy Teo THE TAXI EXPERIENCE Cadavers! 1 So, when you touched me, I forgot I changed job. I thought my fear became reality. I left this place only 3 days ago! I am very sorry again, madam!” The old lady told the driver to pick up more passengers from the hospitals to erase this unique fear syndrome. The driver said that he thinks it is best for him not to pick anymore passenger from any hospital at night. He said he has heart problem & the next time, he may not survive a similar experience as he may end up as a cadaver. He has humour, indeed! This time, they both laughed & laughed. She advised: “This is life, young man. One fine day, we all will be cadavers. We must enjoy our life daily, learn to laugh like we just did, and accept the inevitable. Move forward & relish our remaining minutes & moments. That’s living with fun, the only way forward!” Fears entertained daily & often Are dangers for the mind & health.

  • A Case Study of Mahsud Tribe in South Waziristan Agency
    RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY By MUHAMMAD IRFAN MAHSUD Ph.D. Scholar DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF PESHAWAR (SESSION 2011 – 2012) RELIGIOUS MILITANCY AND TRIBAL TRANSFORMATION IN PAKISTAN: A CASE STUDY OF MAHSUD TRIBE IN SOUTH WAZIRISTAN AGENCY Thesis submitted to the Department of Political Science, University of Peshawar, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Award of the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN POLITICAL SCIENCE (December, 2018) DDeeddiiccaattiioonn I Dedicated this humble effort to my loving and the most caring Mother ABSTRACT The beginning of the 21st Century witnessed the rise of religious militancy in a more severe form exemplified by the traumatic incident of 9/11. While the phenomenon has troubled a significant part of the world, Pakistan is no exception in this regard. This research explores the role of the Mahsud tribe in the rise of the religious militancy in South Waziristan Agency (SWA). It further investigates the impact of militancy on the socio-cultural and political transformation of the Mahsuds. The study undertakes this research based on theories of religious militancy, borderland dynamics, ungoverned spaces and transformation. The findings suggest that the rise of religious militancy in SWA among the Mahsud tribes can be viewed as transformation of tribal revenge into an ideological conflict, triggered by flawed state policies. These policies included, disregard of local culture and traditions in perpetrating military intervention, banning of different militant groups from SWA and FATA simultaneously, which gave them the raison d‘etre to unite against the state and intensify violence and the issues resulting from poor state governance and control.

  • Central Iran اﯾران ﻣرﮐزى
    © Lonely Planet Publications 221 Central Iran ﺍﻳﺮﺍﻥ ﻣﺮﮐﺰی Ever since Cyrus the Great’s dramatic rise from provincial overlord to ruler of the largest empire on earth, central Iran has been something of a showcase for the region’s great- est civilisations. The unrelenting splendour and majesty of Esfahan, the refined elegance of Shiraz and the mud-brick antiquity of Yazd, Abyaneh and Kharanaq are a fascinating contrast, representing the fusion over 2500 years of myriad cultures and starkly differ- ent terrains. Then, of course, there’s that monumental expression of artistic harmony commissioned by Darius I – Persepolis. With so much on offer, it’s no surprise that the towns of Iran’s central provinces are where you’ll probably spend the most time. But it’s not just about ticking off the popular sights, because central Iran has many an unsung gem. Kashan, with its splendid mosques, gardens and magnificently restored traditional houses, is one. If you want to get off the beaten track there’s the desert oasis of Garmeh, the cave village of of Garmeh, caravanserai stops such as Zein-o-din and Toudeshk, or the chance to camp with nomads in the Zagros Mountains. CENTRAL IRAN Central Iran’s people are as diverse as the places they live. In Qom they’re conservative and religious, Shirazis are laid-back and fun-loving, and the Qashqa’i and Bakhtiari nomads live a lifestyle dictated by nature.
