Adulthood Near To Death

Areeba Haroon-ur-Rasheed

For some people life is everything to live up to. Struggle, hard work, achievement, money, friends, relations and this list goes on but for what? Just to live a life. A good healthy life but in a world where the livings are prisoners of ‘CELL’ phone and spelled bound because of many other scientific magic’s the living life of a teenager or if we say so a adult has become way more than difficult to imagine and many things have come up to increase the gap between the only true, loyal and faithful relation of a child and parents.

Parents are the people you look up to in any problems or to share anything but what if someone is ready to die rather than talk about it? Let alone it be their parents. This generation has advanced itself to a level where people don’t know how to talk or share their feelings except putting a status about it.

The more platforms to open up about anything have also made us introvert in our lives. Social sites, hidden chats and many other open platforms have made people more conscious.

These age children are the flowers of very unreliable garden, like the garden is not a place to flourish not until and unless it has its owner of the gardener, because of the gardener it seems very easy to grown any plant but the care, giving proper food like water and sunlight on the right time is all on him and as same as we human also needs someone like him and the gardener of our life is our parents to share, to fight, to argue and to get angry it’s all our right to behold but at the end we need someone to look after us, know what we want at the right time and at the right place.

Years back, a family of 6 members well established, well brought up leading a very good life suddenly got hit up by a storm. When the 2^nd child of the family started to behave out of the way and no one tried to find it out as they named it a phase that it happens in this age but the question remains same why it happens? Going further things started to get worse the communication became less and more frequently arguments would come up, more fights would happen and most importantly the gap graph touched the sky. The parents started to worry and the only solution to every problem they found was to give in, whatever the demand was, it would get fulfill and one day this led them to the biggest disaster of their life, once in a life time when they stopped him or should say ignored him brought him at the gate of death as he shot himself in the head.

There are many stories to hear and ponder over; like a child ended his good going (seems) life but to find ending his life the only solution is not his fault but is also the fault of people around him, who couldn’t find that he needed someone to listen to him, not to lecture him but understand him and top of that the most important thing to care about is that he even does not want to speak about it. And not just parents, the children should also try to speak and open up about the problems they are facing to a trusted person, they should try to reach out for help and discussing the issues of life doesn’t not in any means that one is not strong enough to face it; it just simply means that one is brave enough to let other know what he is facing and no one but parents are the only people in our life who would care, keep our secrets, listen, understand and try to solve it at the same time.

Remember your life is too precious to end it and the world is more beautiful to explore rather than to end the last hope of getting everything better.

Lahooti Melo vs Asim Azhar’s concert

Feature story by

Nehal Fatima arbab

116/MC/2k18

Lahooti Melo is recognized as the centenary of poetry, music, dance, and arts. It’s the first global Sufi, folk, rock music festival. Lahooti Melo is the original event presented in Hyderabad, Jamshoro, accommodated by Saif Samejo who is known by way of the founder of the event. Saif Samejo is similarly known as the representative of a band ‘sketches’ and he is the brain behind Lahooti Melo. He had specified loads of probabilities to the youth to be a volunteer with him for this gigantic happening.

There have been four editions to this event and every time it was plentiful more than the past one. I went to Lahooti Melo when the event was organized in the biggest university of the Asia ‘University of Sindh’. The massive name internationally like ‘Eva Zu Beck’ participated in a session known as ‘EVA on the road’. The cast of ‘laal kabootar’ was presented to promote their movie. Lahooti basically is a 3-day event, and the programs are categorized by performances by band or solo and talks and sessions and including inauguration session.

It's always fun and informative to visit such events because you can connect to them spiritually and culturally. You learn more about historic events related to your culture. You learn about your people and their interests. You learn about your music. As a Sindhi, it was really joyful to know about my own culture. How our culture is so rich, how our music is so rich. It was a eureka moment for me when I got to know my own people and from where I really belong. I was really proud to know that I belong to such a rich culture.

As a small city girl, it is really prideful that an event like Lahooti Melo was started in Hyderabad. It feels really good to know that our people care about their culture, history, music, Sufism, and folks. Furthermore, there were people from other countries too. There was a showstopper Kashmir band who won the hearts of people with their electrified rock music. Now we can talk about concerts which are also organized In Hyderabad city are the way to different from the original lahooti Melo.

The concert I attended last was Asim Azhar's concert which was held in LUMHS jamshoro presented by the well-known event planner shaz rind. One of the best concerts I’ve attended so far. The huge difference between lahooti Melo or any concerts is the difference in time but asim Azhar's concert was all under control of punctuality the vibe around that place was unexceptional. The concert was followed by ‘Canadian rapper Sheraiki’, ‘The Hashtags’, and ‘Muzammil Memon, Beatboxer’. There were even barriers between the male crowd and the female crowd. Grillers valley well-known eatery was also available and the mirror magic was one exclusive thing in the event known as ‘Concierto night II’. It was a great night indeed to have fun with friends, good food and great music by everyone’s heartthrob Asim Azhar. The one thing which was different from other events was convincible timing and punctuality. Although the event was held far from the city Hyderabad but still I reach home before midnight. Lahooti Melo and other events don’t have this many people miss much performance due to waiting up for long. Lahooti Melo has a free entry except for the music bands there were many talk sessions which youth aren’t captivated in, and it makes a vast alteration to concert nights.

I can acknowledge that both events were a gratified moment for me that we are endorsing our culture and inspecting such big international names and artists coming over to our city Hyderabad, Jamshoro.

نام کی محبتیں 

سنا تھا محبت اندھی ہوتی ہے.وہ کسی پیسہ، شکل و صورت کی محتاج نہیں ہوتی. لیکن دور حاضر میں محبت کی بینائی لوٹ آئی ہے اور اتنی تیزی سے لوٹی ہے کہ اس نے اپنے اسٹینڈرڈ سیٹ کر رکھے ہیں. اب کسی غریب سے محبت کرنے کا تصور بھی نہیں ہے.  ہاں البتہ پیسہ اور گاڑی دیکھ کر محبت یوں اپنا راستہ بناتی ہے کہ دنیا تماشہ دیکھے.

    ’خفا ہو‘  سے  ’دفا ہو‘  تک کے سفر کو  آج کل کے نوجوان محبت کہتے ہیں.جی ہاں جناب  یہ آج کل کی محبتوں کے افسانے ہیں جو مہذ نام کی محبتیں ہیں،  فیس بُک سے شروع ہوکر واٹس ایپ پر اختتام پزیر ہوجاتی ہیں.  ’میں تم سے محبت کرتا ہوں‘ سے لیکر ’امی ابو نہیں مان رہے‘ تک کا سفر طے کرتی ہیں. لو بھلا ذرا سی بات کیا ہوئی جناب محبت کر بیٹھے، دل تو ہتیلی پے لیئے پھرتے ہیں دل نا ہوا  وبالء جان ہوگیا.

محبت تو وہ جزبہ ہے جو تمام جزبوں سے بالاترہے لیکن آج کل کی محبتوں کا کوئی سانی نہی، دورِ حاضر کے نوجوانوں کے لیئے مطلب پرستی و جسم پرستی کے علاوہ محبت کچھ نہیں. چند گھنٹوں کی دل لگی اور کچھ ہفتوں کی وقت گزاری کو وہ محبت کا نام دیدیتے ہیں.  ’ارے آج کل جتنی جلدی محبوب بدلے جاتے ہیں اتنی جلدی تو کوئی کپڑے بھی نہیں بدلتا‘

ایسی بہت سی نام کی محبتیں ہیں جو منظرء عام پر آئی ہیں اوربہت سے ایسے واقعات بھی ہیں جن سے ہم نا واقف ہیں. آج کل کے معاشرے کا یہ علمیہ ہے کہ لڑکا تو لڑکا لڑکیاں بھی لڑکوں سے دو ہاتھ آگے ہیں.ابھی گزشتہ  ماہ قبل ہی سوشل میڈیا کے ذریعہ ہونے والی محبت میں لڑکا لڑکا نہیں بلکہ بزرگ نکلا. محبت میں محبوبہ سے ملنے  سرگودھا  پہنچا تو محبوبہ نے اغوا کر کے گھر والوں سے تعوان کا مطالبہ کیا. صرف یہی نہیں آج کل تو آئے دن کی جانے والی محبتیں کی مثال  ایسی ہے کہ کھایا پیا کچھ نہیں گلاس طوڑا بارا آنے.

محبت کے عارضی نشے میں لڑکیاں اتنی اندھی ہوجاتی ہیں کہ انکو اندازہ بھی نہیں ہوتا کہ ایک غلط قدم سے انکی اور انکے گھروالوں کی  زندگیوں پر کیا اصرات مرتب ہوں گے. لڑکوں کے سبز باغ دکھانے پر لڑکیاں اپنا گھر چھوڑنے پر آمادہ ہو جاتی ہیں ان کو یہ اندازہ نہیں ہوتا کہ جو ان سے محبت کرتا ہوگا وہ کبھی بھی گھر سے بھگانے کی بات نہیں کرے گا. اس کو آپکی عزت کا خیال آپ سے زیادہ ہوگا.محبت کا بھات اترنے پر جب انکی آنکھیں کھلتی ہیں تو وہ بدنامی کے اس پہاڑ پر کھڑی ہوتی ہیں جہاں نا انکے گھروالے انکو قبول کرتے ہیں نا یہ معاشرہ. یہ تو وہی بات ہو گئی کہ اب پچھتائے کیا جب چڑیا چُگ گئی کھیت.

ضروری نہیں ہر محبت کا انجام غلط ہو دورِ حاضر میں کچھ ایسی بھی مثالیں ہیں. جنہوں نے اپنے بے نام محبت کو نکاح کا نام دیا  اللہ اور والدین کی رضا مندی کے ساتھ ایک پاک رشتے میں بندھ گئے.اب آپ  ’اسد اور نمرہ‘ نامی جوڑے کی ہی مثال لے لیجیئے جو آج کل سوشل میڈیا کی زینت بنے ہوئے ہیں. 18سال کی عمر میں شادی جیسے بندھن سے بندھ گئے اپنی محبت کو نکاح کا نام دیا اور نوانوں کو ہدایت دی کے بے نامی رشتوں سے بچیں والدین کو اعتماد میں لیکر نکاح جیسے رشتے کی پاسداری کریں. اسد کے والد کا کہنا تھا کہ بیٹے کی جلدی شادی کروا کر میں نے اپنے بیٹے کو گناہ سے بچایا.

دورِ حاضر میں بوائے فرینڈ اور گرلفرینڈ کے کلچر کو ختم کرنے بے حیائی اور دھوکے فریب سے بچنے کے لیئے والدین کو بھی چاہیئے کہ بچوں کے  بالغ ہوتے ہی انکو نکاح جیسے بندھن میں باندھ دیں. بچوں کو اتنی آزادی دیں کہ وہ کھل کر اپنی پسند کا اظہار کر سکیں.اپنے بچوں کو اپنا دوست بنائیں اور انکو محبت کا صحیح معنٰی سمجھائیں تاکہ محبت کے نام پر وہ اپنی اور کسی کی عزت و ذندگی کے ساتھنا 

کھیلیں۔

ڄامشوري  جون هوائون

جاويد پهنور

2k18/MC/72

ڄامشورو شهر سنڌو ندئ جي ڪناري تي واقع آهي جيتوڻيڪ ڄامشورو هڪ ننڍڙو شهر آهي پر سنڌ  جي شهرن ۾ هڪ خاص اهميت رکي ٿو چاهي اها خصوصيت تعليم جي حوالي سان هجي يا وري ڄامشوري جي آبهوا جي حساب سان هجي تعليم جي حوالي سان هن شهر ۾ 4 يونيورسٽيون قائم آهن  ۽ پاڪستان جي قديمي يونيورسٽين مان هڪ سنڌ يونيورسٽي به آهي جيڪا ڄامشوري ۾ واقع آهي.

ڄامشورو يونيورسٽين جو شهر جي نالي سان ته مشهور آهي پر هن شهر کي هوائن جو شهر پڻ چيو وڃي ٿو جنهن جي ڪري ڄامشوري کي ڪافي مقبوليت حاصل آهي.

اڪثر ڪري بهار جي موسم ۾ جڏهن وڻ ٽڻ پنهنجي مستين ۾ ايندا آهن ته ڄامشورو پٿرن جو شهر به پنهنجي مستين ۾ ايندو آهي ۽ هتان جون هوائون مدحوش بڻائي ڇڏينديون آهن.

ڄامشورو شهر جون راتيون اڪثر ڪري دلفريب هونديون آهن ۽ هوا جو انداز نهايت ئي دلڪش هوندو آهي.

ڄامشورو شهر کي آبهوا جي حساب سان هڪ پنهنجوئي مقام حاصل آهي هتان جي منفرد ٿڌڙي هوا شايد ئي وسارڻ ڪنهن جي وس ۾ هجي ،ڄامشوري ۾ حسين شامون گذاريندڙ چاهي دنيا جي ڪنهن به حصي ۾ هليا وڃن پر ڄامشوري جون هوائون ڪين وساري سگهندا.

هوائن جو اهيو سلسلو پاڪستان ۾ هماليه جبلن جي قطارن کان داخل ٿئي ٿو جيڪي هوائون گهلنديون گهلنديون سنڌ ۾ داخل ٿين ٿيون.

ڄامشورو ۾ دلفريب هوائن جي گهلڻ جو سبب اهو آهي ته سامونڊي پٽئ کان هوائون گهلن ٿيون ۽ ڄامشورو ايئر ڪوريڊور جي مرڪز ۾ اچڻ ڪري هتي هوائن جو سلسلو جاري رهي ٿو ۽ من کي موهيندو رهي ٿو.

ڄامشورو ۾ ٿڌڙين هوائن جو سلسلو کيرٿر جبل جي قطارن کان سنڌ ۾ داخل ٿئي ٿو جيڪو ڄامشوري جي موسم کي وڌيڪ دلفريب بڻائي ڇڏي ٿو. هوا جو اهيو سلسلو ڄامشوري ۾ 14 ميٽر پر سيڪنڊ جي حساب سان داخل ٿئي ٿو ۽ ڄامشوري جي موسم کي خوشگوار بڻائي ڇڏي ٿو

ڄامشورو ۾ جڏهن ٿڌڙين هوائن جو اهو سلسلو شروع ٿيندو آهي ته يونيورسٽئ ۾ پڙهندڙ شاگرد  توڙي شاگردياڻيون ،يونيورسٽين ۾ رهندڙ  پريمي جوڙا  هاسٽلن کان ٻاهر نڪري شام  جي وقت هوائن جو مزو وٺڻ لاء باغيچن ۽ پارڪن جو رخ ڪندا آهن.

ڄامشورو جا رهواسي وري المنظر جو رخ ڪندا  آهن جٿي هو صرف ٻيڙين تي ويهي تفريح ڪندا آهن پر هو سنڌ و ندئ جو مشهور پلو کائڻ  پڻ پسند ڪندا آهن.

اڪثر ڪري بهار جي موسم ۾ جڏهن هوا پنهنجي موجن ۾ هڪ جوان ڇوڪرئ وانگر جهمريون پائيندي آهي ان وقت وڻ پنهنجا پن ڇانڻي نوان گونشا ڪڍندا آهن اها پن ڇڻ جي موسم ۽ المنظر جون شامون حسين لڳنديون آهن ۽ هر شئي مان رونق نظر اچڻ لڳندي آهي ڄامشوري شهر جون دلفريب هوائون سنڌ جي ڪنڊ ڪڙڇ مان آيل شاگردن توڙي المنظر جو سير ڪرڻ آيل ماڻهن کي وري ٻيهر ڄامشوري اچڻ تي مجبور  ڪنديون آهن جيئن ڪنهن شاعر پڻ چيو آهي ته

                                              ڄامشوري مان جنهن جو ٿيو گذر وڃي

                                               ڄڻ اهو ڄامشوري جو ٿيو پٿر وڃي

هتان جي مقامي ماڻهن جي چوڻ موجب ڄامشورو هڪ ننڍڙو شهر آهي جيڪو تمام هيٺانهين تي آهي جنهن ۾ موجود يونيورسٽيون جبل جي دڙن تي قائم آهن ان ڪري هن شهر کي پٿرن جو شهر پڻ چيو وڃي ٿو.

بهار جي موسم ۾ جڏهن ڄامشوري جي پٿرن تي برسات جون ڪڻيون پونديون آهن ۽ ان کان پوء هوا جو جيڪو سلسلو گهلندو آهي اهو انتهائي دلفريب ۽ من موهيندڙ هوندو آهي  جنهن سان وڻ،ٽڻ،پکي پکڻ مهڪي پوندا آهن ۽ خوشئ مان هرڪوئي جهمريون پائڻ لڳندو آهي.

ڄامشورو شهر جون ۽ جولاء ۾ ڪجه گرم پڻ رهي ٿو ۽ هتان جون هوائون پڻ گرم رهن ٿيون سال جي ٻارهن مهينن مان اهي ٻه مهينا ٿڌڙين هوائن جي ڪري متاثر نه هوندا آهن جنهن ڪري گرمئ جي جهلڪ پڻ ڏٺي ويندي آهي.

هتي هوائون گهلڻ جو هڪ سبب اهو به آهي ته هي شهر سنڌوء جي ڪناري تي آهي 

جنهن جي ڪري هتي اڪثر هوا ٿڌي ۽ دلڪش هوندي آهي.

                                                               RALLY OF JHAL MAGSI

Racing is the third biggest sport in the world. In pakistan the racing starts from JHAL

MAGSI, JHAL MAGSI is situated in Balochistan. From past 15 years the off racing is going on.

There are some desert spots in Pakistan where these racing held on the places names are JHAL

MAGSI,GAWADAR,CHOLISTAN and THAL. There are two new deserts Gawadar and Cholistan

others one are same as past 15 years. The racing started in 2004 by Mir Nadir Magsi and Zulfiqar

Magsi.

Mir Nadir Magsi is a champion in car racing and won Jeep Rally so many times .he love to do

racing . His inspiration is his father and grandfather who use to lived in london and took part in

racing. He started the racing in Jhal Magsi by his own without any support and sponsors when

that rally got sucess without any harm now this rally happens in every year of december and he

got so many sponsors Pakistan Army supports him alot as well as Government.

This racing track is very harder in Pakistan because their tracks are not properly bulid because

of some stones and mud .these tracks are very tricky as well type of zig zag and hilly areas . If

any accident occurs during racing there is proper security and emergency available to keep safe

of these racers. Now a days it becomes a passion for the peoples lots of people are attending

the race even foreigners also come taking part and attending as well not for the gifts and prize

because if their passion. There are some good racers and supporters as well whose taking part

every year their names are Mir Nadir Magsi, Ronnie Patel, Muhammad Ashraf, Zafar Magsi,

Asad Khuhro, Mukesh Chawla, Mansoor Haleem, Sarfaraz Dhanji. In desert rally they arrange the camps,

food stalls ,emergency and security that people can join and facilitate from everything.

There are two main ceremonies done in Jhal Magsi 10th ceremony in 2014 and 15th ceremony in

2019. To start the race in Jhal Magsi to give the ideas that people love racing sport as well.

The rally takes place every winter, where different cars participate to enjoy the rally rather than

to win. Driving over 250 Kms, the rally consists of people from all over Pakistan.

However, not everyone has the chance to adore the cars in the race. Also, not all car lovers can

reach Jhal Magsi in the rally. Hence, ‘Jhal Magsi Desert Challenge 2019’ organized an event in

Karachi. The event consisted of all the motor sports lover in the city. Apart from those who

love sports, the drivers who participate in the rally were also present there. The event took

place at Moin Khan Academy, so the spacious area gave opportunity to the vehicle owners to

display their automobiles. the vehicles were astonishing. Ranging from modified trucks to high

maintenance vehicles like Rolls Royce, the car show had all there. Well not to forget the eye

catching Mustang Ford, Bentley, Ferrari, Audi, Mercedes and many more. You name it, you

get to see it there.

The event was well managed and equally entertaining. There was a special appearance of

Chief Minister Balochistan, Jam Kamal Khan, who himself has been a part of rally earlier. There

were celebrities riding their Harley Davidson in the park, which included Aijaz Aslam and Faysal Qureshi.

And if someone was hungry or thirsty, there were food stalls installed at the entrance

of Moin Khan Acedemy.

All in all, the event was a complete hit. With sports cars revving and Harley hovering all around,

Jhal Magsi is astonishing for sure. We hope to see more events as such.

In the end i want to say that we should aware of this , we must know about this and take

in our country pakistan like other sports this sport can also be take place like cricket,hockey,

football etc.

PREDICAMENT SITUATION ON SANITORY WORKERS

There are distinct people to perform distinct tasks, and all the tasks have meaning and importance in their own way. However, there also exist some works that are not everyone's cup of tea. Sanitary work is one of them. Although proper sanitation is very necessary for every single town yet we see no firm attention towards the case. Majorly, it is conceded in Pakistan that such a profession - related to sanitation - is inferior to our faith and religion; and performing such a work would result in staining the faith of a Muslim. However, it is clearly mentioned in Islam that cleanliness is half faith. Such a misinterpretation of people causes in ignorance towards the major factor - sanitation - which later dooms the decorum of our environment. It is not only citizens who are ignorant towards sanitation but government also. There are no proper policies and regulations for how would people, cleaning the gutters in the environment of harmful gases, be rescued if confronted by some hazards. According to a survey, around 24 sanitary workers have lost their lives during the last two decades due to lack of proper management. Not only the management but the doctors - worried about their faiths - have also in not saving the sanitary workers' live.

                                                                    

Irfan Maseeh of  Umerkot is an example of such a tragedy. When he got unconscious in the gutter due to the hazardous gases, he fell into the gutter and his clothes got dirty. He was breathing obturate a bit. The doctor on duty refused to touch him as long as it was the matter of the doctor's faith and at that time he was fasting. After while other one medical officer arrived and told to ward boy to put him on oxygen said by his relative who was with him but “Irfan was gone”.  Such an ignorance towards saving the savers of "half faith" is condemnable.

Here, is another story of sanitary worker he states that people use vulgar language and abuse us if we don’t complete our work as they want and they warn us if you don’t complete your work we will beat you.

Mohan lal resident of Hyderabad and worker of this field further said I have seen many people die. We put our lives in danger to make clean your cities, towns and villages. We also feeling like to leave this job but it is our hardship to do this work if we don’t work then how we survive. We also dislike this work but we are helpless. We are working for sake of our children and for people of our country if we stop this work then our children will die of hunger and people will live in grimy environment unlikely. We starts our duty from sunrise and even we don’t know about it that when we will back to our homes

His elder brother also passed away due to the some reckless gases while have cleaning the blocked mainholes. Wife of his elder brother tells story about his husband that he returned from his duty and said i am having an issue of blood pressure then we took him to hospital but he died on his way. We have no any support and have burdened from debt and dues. She cried emotionally and said how I survive? , how i bring up my children?

We have spent our entire live to clean mainholes, gutters and clean cities and towns. We have been serving country from our forefathers but never receive anything in return from government. Said by his father.

Ali Kausar Feature English

Do we have to kill flowers for our ceremonies?

Ali Kausar Feature
BS Roll-19

Can you imagine yourself ripping apart thousands of blooming flowers, just so you could please a certain someone or some people?

 

The value of a flower in nature is very much evident when it comes to the benefits they provide to different kinds of species. For one, they are a source of food for insects, birds, animals and even humans. They also work as natural medicines for humans, and one of the main purpose of a flower is to provide aid in the reproduction of plants by enticing outside pollinators. Without flowers, plants would merely be green, and the world would be a duller place.

Unique and beautiful flowers around the world are constantly being torn apart just for the sake of arranging these flowers for someone’s wedding ceremony or someone’s birthday etc. But do you wonder how many of those flowers are wasted afterwards? Is it even possible for those flowers to be recycled and become useful again? And is it really necessary for us to please ourselves with fragrant flowers in our ceremonies without coming up with analternate replacement? While keeping these thoughts in my mind, I took it upon myself to visit the local people to get their point of view regarding this subject.

Amongst the many answers I received, some of the most common ones I got to hear were, “because I want my ceremony to be beautiful” or “because the type of flowers I use will show my status”.

It is safe to assume that, one of the major reason for using real flowers at our celebrations, is mostly related to maintaining ones social standing. Basically, the use of fake flowers is looked down upon in society and is seen as a cheap means to honor the guests in any event.

If we could take the time out of our day, to just think about why we must follow some traditional social activities and whether if continuing the destruction of flowers really is for the greater good, then we might be able to avoid major future casualties. Just think about how hundreds and thousands of years ago, someone probably said that it is a bad idea to cut so many trees just for apparent pleasure. But what they got to hear in response to that was, “it’s not a big deal. There are so many trees and one has got to maintain their social status.” And think about how now, there are so many countries around the world that are sparing no effort to plant millions of trees in order to survive on the planet.

Similarly speaking, if we could avoid using up the natural elements of our world just for the means of maintaining social status amongst a small group of people, we might be able to keep our plants from ever being extinct in the future.

No doubt this topic has been debated over several times over before and we are used to the conditions of it by now. But its 2020- the climate is changing and it is an absolute necessity for us to keep the reproduction of plants on our planet stable. You are probably thinking that, “It’s just a flower. How can it possibly be so important?” Well, you would be surprised to know that even a single flower can play a big part in affecting global warming conditions. The real issue here is merely the mentality of the people following traditions passed down from past generations who did not think that these habits could lead to endangering valuable species. It is the mindset that we need to change and think long and hard about if whether it is necessary to use flowers in every ceremony.

To conclude my subject, I want to provide a simple solution which could help us understand and make it easier to change certain traditions.

One of the solutions can be to make use of fake flowers instead. They could help us reduce the plant wastage in our region. Fake flowers can also be recycled when they are sent back to the factories to be reassembled- thus, they will not go to waste like real flowers. Another bonus benefit is that this could also improve our economy as we help out local craftsmen who make artificial goods gain a source of income.

Put aside the social status. It is now time to learn what will be best for our planet in the present and our future as well. This will be a win-win situation so it is high time we started working on improving this situation for a brighter and better tomorrow.
