Return journey

50 years ago life was simple, most of the people lived in villages, and provided their basic necessities like flour, ghee, vegetables, meat by themselves. Bullocks, donkeys, horses were used for transportation. The air used to be clean as the number of motor vehicles was very less. By eating pure foods, people lead healthy lives and live long lives. There used to be health centers in villages and even in distant cities. But then gradually everything changed.For the desire of development, people moved from villages to cities. Satan opened the way for diseases by showing people the way of adultery due to greed. Villages were converted into residential settlements to meet the growing population. Even today, people remember this time and sigh, but the time is gone.

It may never have been possible for us to return to the past, but then there was a change. The change government started the journey of change by taking the reins of the homeland. They put corrupt people (according to you) in jail to change the fate of the Holy Land, and then released them, and after they released you, you did not leave the people anywhere, chanting the tune of ‘I will not leave’. Today after three years some corrupt people are with you and some are living the life of Sikhs and Chinese in London and their palaces. But people are deprived of Sikh China. Yes! The same people for whom you were the last hope.The same people who were inspired by your promises and hoped that “good days will come”. The only way for the people to live now is to go back to the old days and the journey back has already begun. The rickshaw drivers of Lahore have taken out the motors from the rickshaws and started using horses to counter the rising oil prices. By using horses for travel, on one hand, they are freed from the tension of rising oil prices, on the other hand, air pollution will also be reduced.

 

We all have to reduce our dependence on the government for our basic needs to combat inflation and make the “kitchen garden” a part of our lives as in the past. If possible, we should live in villages, otherwise, like the citizen of Rawalpindi, who converted the terrace of his 5 marla house into a garden, we too should start the ‘journey of self-reliance’ within our limited resources. And if possible, according to the ideas of Prime Minister Imran Khan, increase your income by providing “chickens, eggs and chickens” and start the journey of economic prosperity.And we have to do all this for our survival, because it seems that the situation in Pakistan is unlikely to change. There are two main reasons for this. Our debts are increasing with each passing day, and the day is not far when our debts will exceed our income. According to an estimate, Pakistan’s debt has reached 97.4% of GDP and whoever the government is, it will have to borrow to pay the debt, and more debt will be available only when it meets the strictest international institutions. By fulfilling the conditions, eliminate poverty and not the poor.

Another major reason is that the large number of people participating in the recent PDM and PPP rallies shows that the next government will also be a combination of existing political parties, and then the days of the ministers will change instead of the people as in the past. . So it is better for the people to start the return journey.Today, Nagar Nagar Guhom Karoh once again stood at the same place, from where this journey had started. This house surrounded by pine trees, the mountains, the river, the forest, the trails, these paths and the people here. Once upon a time, he used to see these places, things, people as obstacles on the way to his destination, he thought that he would have to overcome these obstacles to live life. Masterji had once said, “People who consider happy paths as destinations find neither destination nor resolution.”

And, those who nurture the goal, their effort, effort and struggle ends in the same way, as if a child gets a toy he wants, then in a short time he gets tired of it, its value ends. Yes, if the goal is big, then the dedication to achieve it keeps the lights of hope bright. K, found him, but he was still deprived of the decision of getting the destination. Some roads are very attractive, travelers get lost in these pleasant roads, roads do not end, but life does. Sometimes he felt like a worm caught in a spider’s web. , who is caught in the world’s illusory net.In these years, the lamps of memories were also extinguished. This charming valley, house, river, green forest, all of them were erased from his memories. The lamp could not be lit. Now morning and evening there were no hands praying for him, no company of friends, no companionship of Masterji. The dream of living life remained a dream, he was not even able to live his life properly. But…returning to my home, my village, the lamps of memories were lit again today after years, but unfortunately the people associated with these memories had gone to another world.

Perhaps this was the decision of fate, just like those who live on the seashore are left thirsty, the lights of memories were unable to illuminate the darkness of his heart even though they were lit. The river was flowing with the same flow, behind the house. The thick forest in which it was located still contained many stories, the apple, pear and apricot trees were still fruitful. He was thinking that “not even a single moment of the life I have lived, which is the achievement of my life, which brings a smile to the lips and sparkle in the eyes by remembering it.”
