A seed!

A seed
A day before yesterday’s columns had some light in them they were filled with healthy news and some twinkling cluster of pearls. It was refreshing to read it at once. First of all it was delighting to hear that the first Danish school was opened by our very honored and celebrated chief minister of Punjab. It is said that the building of the school spans over 100 acres and has a marvelous infrastructure comparable to Aitcheson School. It was very happy news to hear after all.
The schools are a seed of the very bright future for children who could not do anything else but do what their fathers did, which could not attend the school but only aspire to do so. The schools are a seed for Pakistan’s future. They are the seed of the technological, ethical, civic, and literary development of our country. It is a seed that will produce fruit for the generations to come. I hope that it will harvest the intellect of students in a way that they will lead the future of Pakistan towards the apex of development and will remove the differences faced by today’s Pakistan. The students here I pray will learn InshaAllah the true meaning of the code of conduct that has been taught in schools for decades in the past.
It is again very thoughtful of the CM that he decided to build these schools in the spacious places and in natural environment as it will make the students nearer to the nature which of course has a soothing effect on minds and souls, away from the smoky cities with infected people from pollution, students at Danish School will surely enjoy an adequate education.
It would be a spectacle to see the students coming on bicycles and on their foot with their fathers going in the fields to harvest with dirt all on their clothes, seeing their children off in the schools which are equivalent to schools in which another group of students is admitted with healthy fees and who learn arrogance and vanity there, while this group has fathers who are the people of high authority and capitalists who drop them on their luxurious cars. While Danish group of students will learn simplicity and will amalgamate education with the values of their village which is I believe intact to some extent up till now. People say that corruption always starts from the cities and the villages are always the last to follow. But if now through Danish school systems this modern education and the forgotten values of our ancestors combine, will InshaAllah produce fine students who are going to remove the sense of inferiority from the populace of the upper Punjab and other un-developed areas of this country.
This seed if properly nourished will flourish into a tree that is going to provide shadow to the future generations and is going to give fruits to its inhabitants that will be worth of many lives which are lost now a-days, it is going to protect us from the attacks of despicable strategies of storm being planned by its enemies and it is going to stand firm on the ground to protect its people. The literate of Pakistan should fully cooperate in the upbringing of these schools so that the grim looking conditions of Pakistanis may change in the future to come. I hope that the seed might not have been imported from the West and it might have been locally harvested, otherwise the fruits will all be exotic and malignant for its own inhabitants.
