City of My Dreams!

It was 20^th November 2008 when I got a mail from a pal that there is an international essay competition sponsered by various organisation. This was one of the most beautiful thing I ever wrote, and amazingly I didn’t think it at all. When I lay down at night, I couldn’t sleep due to all this coming into my mind so I got up and started writing it….thats what I fruited…

Before designing the city of dreams, it’s important to realize what ideal is; for ideal is the dream. I believe ideal is something that is almost perfect possessing all the beauties, attractions and positives one desire to achieve.

Oh! The earth is so ideal place!

And the different parts of it keeps so much colors that human heart belonging to any of it, never wants to leave it ever. What is then, that we still have to make a city of dream? A part of earth that’s awesome enough to adore?

          Its not that we don’t have city of dreams or world of dreams; but we are lacking the essence of ideal place in reality. All that’s required is, remove the lacking and negatives present.

          On my part, I don’t believe to keep sleeping and developing ideals but to open eyes and make hard efforts to achieve my dreams. I don’t believe in a place full of facilities and development which may provide all comforts of life but must lack heart’s happiness which is somehow happening with modern inventions.

          Technology is our need and essential part for a successful life but there’s something much more important and required to humans for living a happy and contented life. Its ideal place to live which cannot be achieved with material but approach, sight and a thought. Just a thought!

          A thought to make SWOT analysis of our environment and define all the lacking and potentials for remedies. For the earth is heaven’s image and just by removing its dirt which is also due to humans; it can be made ideal.

          If every individual do this analysis and think upon ways out to visualize a paradise like atmosphere around only in his or her part; the solution to every problem is no far. It is not the path we will be able to clean then but the feet that are marching on it too.

          We need to clean ourselves. Not to be angles but human that’s first and only presenter of God on earth. Being a true man of Creator is the idealism of humanity. If every human acts humanly, the least effort will be needed to just enhance beautification of the place it lives.

All what we need for happiness, is love. Love that compels to share minds, moments, life and dreams. Sharing give rise to desire for longer happiness and happiness comes from being together. And being together creates a sense of care and security of each other resulting in satisfaction. Then being together is all we have to do?

          A satisfied human never disturb others. Its something we can experience in our everyday life. It means togetherness is all we are lacking that’s destroying a lovable place granted by our Creator? Devilish intentions and lust have trapped us in such a sticky web of materialism that we have lost the feeling of hurt.

          Let me share a wonderful experience regarding my dream city. After taking a training of only 8 days, from an organization Action Aid International, few of us students realized something we have never thought of before. The training was on communication, perception, presentation and social mobilization skills.

          There was a group of almost thirty-two students who were very active and capable. In the start of training, things in training module seemed to be childish but day by day whole of our personality changed. It felt like we are enchanted by a strong spell of motivation and self realization. Although the training was not of very high standard but it made us find our lacking and faults which created problems for us but we never noticed.

          Therefore, few among us grouped together, shared ideas and ideals and established a group with name, THE GENERATORS. It has no resources to utilize but spirit of “Dare to be Different.” And a structure is made to make this group start mobilizing. This shows that motivation and unification is the first step towards ideal success and achievement.

          This group is based on participatory concept so that potential of every member can be utilized and best results can beget. This once will start working, more youngsters will be invited to join and deficiencies will be targeted, to be removed.

          Either its education, health, awareness or structural development, human resources will be utilized to confront all social problems of the area and then support will be acquired from different organizations to increase capacity building of generations.

In this way, slowly and gradually ways to solve every occurring problem will be discovered and consequently, no hurdle would be left in future.

North West Frontier Province of Pakistan, my area, is blessed with so much talents and abilities. Our people are loving and generous. But it is backward, because its not been given much attention due to its geographical condition that is mountainous ranges. It used to be very hard to travel and live here but it has changed a lot and quite developed not only by state but by many private institutions.

          All that is wrong is, many NGO’s and private groups are merely working and looting money in the name of development due to which more and more bias is raising among people’s heart against other communities. Unemployment and lack of awareness is still present as opportunities are provided to only those who take side of corrupts.

          This group wants to work under check and balance system within the group members and believe in man power not finances. Awareness is being created among many friends that although money is required to lead life nowadays but getting it by snatching someone’s right never gives happiness.

          I believe that this group will be strong and will definitely make great difference in mobilizing young energy in all positive activities, which will grow fruitful trees diminishing all thorns.

Finances are must needed but human resources are significant in taking initiative and that’s present therefore dreaming is no more our job.

          Hopefully the group will stand as a strong support to the area and soon will become the voice of all hearts. This will help in calling every single person on his or her own will to contribute to the prosperity of area and his or her own future success. Because, once we moved on, we won’t let people beg, steel or snatch but will make them so able to earn enough to be happy.

          A constant community will be goal that will diminish caste or race differences and “love is all we have to give” would be the message to promote and act upon.

          That’s what is required to us. But in any part of this heaven’s image, if such an activity is started; no doubt it will become ideal. Making different parts or cities of earth ideal, the whole world can be changed to most desirable place for every human being.

          Hence, the conclusion is, everything is in our own hands. If all of us make a combine effort to purify the originality of world’s colors, this world would be the most adorable place after heavens. And the death will only be a transformation from one heaven to another in reality.
