It seems that all the limits of decency have now been crossed. The appetite to extort money from Karachi’s factory owners has compelled the officers of the Sindh Employees Social Security(SESSI) to issue inspection officers notices prematurely, to be precise, four months in advance. A recent letter issued by the SESSI S.I.T.E, West Directorate Office, asked the recipients to present their Social Security record for the period ending December 2006. Now how can anyone arrange for the record for the future months? In that case, one can only presume that there is only one rationale behind issuing this letter four months in advance and that is to harass and pressurize the factory owners to succumb to the SSO’s demands for ransom. These so called labor welfare departments have virtually become a nuisance for the business community.
They practically, have zero interest in the workers welfare. They are least interested in what the workers are getting in terms of benefits and medical care. Their first and only charm is to check mate the factory owners and earn some sort of added income by threatening them the cumbersome, complicated, and contradictory laws and procedural weapons. But what else can we expect in an environment, which stinks and is over polluted with corruption, where each and every state and government department is heavily loaded with corrupt, dishonest and virtually criminal people.
How can one expect any action to be taken against the extortionist of the SESSI. After all, the ransom money is distributed among all their bosses starting from the SSO to directors and then commissioners of the SESSI. Last but not least, it is no secret, that the appointment of a Social Security Officer (SSO) carries with a price tag of six figures. Show we wait for an announced departmental enquiry against the SSO Ali Akbar Mangi, who issued the said letter of Audit or for a swift denial with a stereotypical clarification from SESSI that all said is incorrect?
 

Poverty is an evil and curse. Its affects are destructive not only physically but mentally, morally and spiritually. It embitters life and takes away its all joys.
George Bernard Shaw has said that “ Lack of money is root of all the evils “. I think that he has rightly said because all evils born out of poverty. The criminals are not born as criminals but they are made and it is poverty that makes him a criminal.
In our country, more than seventy percent of our population live much below the Poverty line. Poverty is increasing day by day in our country. Because of poverty, a poor man is not able to lead his life comfortable. Whole the time, he is worried about his children and family members. When a person is facing a lot of problems in his life and he cannot get sufficient money, then finally he apply the wrong path and he becomes the criminal, thief or kidnapper. Poverty has adverse effects on one’s character.
Therefore, it’s a request to Government through this esteem newspaper that please take some immediate steps to eliminate poverty from our country.

It is true that teaching is a noble profession. There are so many professions, which are adopted by the people, but best profession of teaching is noble because it gives a best way of peace and prosperity. It is the profession, which changes the life of a person.
Just imagine if we would not have a teacher, then how can we get guideline because it is the personality, who takes out one from darkness to light.
Teaching as a noble profession requires a great courage, aplomb, and moral strength. There is the a ‘hadith’ of our holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) that “ he who is neither teacher nor student is not a Muslim” this shows us that teacher has given fully importance of teaching and learning and proved that a Muslim must be a associated with the process f teaching. Another saying of our holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) is that “I am sent as a teacher in this world”.
According to me teacher means: T = trustable, E = equality spreader, A = aim provider,
C = character builder, H = helper, E = essential personality, R = respectable.
Teaching means to give the new way to a person and to make understand him the real meaning of life.
