I rendered this website in my browser today and realized something.
None of us had written anything in the month of October except Aamir's comment about a previous post. I started thinking, isn't that what we are missing in Kashmir. Some attention to what is happening around us. A person is killed in cold blood, we cry for a few days and everything is normal again, our forests catch fire every now and then these days and it hardly matters to us. It takes a forest decades to recover the damage. Aamir is right, we should look at positives too. One of the positives is this blog where we can express ourselves without fear. So today I want to write about something that I noticed a few weeks ago.
It was on Eid and two of our leaders who claim to represent people could not even pray together in one place. It is shameful. Both claim to be the representatives of the people. I wonder at times, who is really leading Kashmiris. Is it, the abdullah's the mufti's, the Azad's, the Hurriyat's and several other organizations or they are all misleading us. Each one of them consider themselves to be peoples representatives and now I am talking about the people who want to get freedom for Kashmir. Honestly, who gave them the right to negotiate on behalf of the Kashmiris. We don't even know their plans, for GOD's sake. Let me say this, how about we have a referendum. Each person who thinks he/she could negotiate on behalf of the Kashmiris and bring the ever elusive peace to our Kashmir, run in the referendum. People will choose from amongst them a group of people based on their plans. This group could represent Kashmiris and then we don't have these hundreds of organizations who keep popping up more than the flowers on our saffron fields. This would also give credibility to the group representing the people. However, one important thing, they need to divulge their plans before the people ahead of the referendum and it should be open to all and one of the condition for their representation would be that they stick to the plan. We should have another referendum at an appropriate time before the final solution to see if people still trust them and to check whether they stuck to the promised plan.
Let us behave like civilized people to find solutions to our problems and stop wasting our time.

Salam,
Looking at Nayeem's Blog as well as some previous responses from Suhail ,it invokes the feeling that at least this Blog seems to be going the right way, the positive way.
Lets not accuse others and ourselves.
Some may contribute ,many may not be in a position to do that regularly.So be it.
All may not share the same feeling all the time , but lets all go along.
Let's make it a goal to be productive somehow.Share a Smile is one great way to do that.InshaAllah when we start that more people will be encouraged and then all will flow with the momentum.
Nayeem is doing a great Job there in trying to get that organized.This proves that even one man with the right motive can get things done.
I emphasize ,let's be supportive of each others shortcomings, correct each other on the way and move ahead.
Masalam.
I agree, we have to be positive. However, for share a smile I want to add that it is the effort of each one of you. It won't become a reality without all of you.
A/S,
regarding Share a Smile, we have hit a road block. i was talking to Manzoor bhai the other day, and seems it is realy dificult to get the organization registered.
I think its better to get work started(without waiting for registration) the only thing we need is to get one account where all contributors can send funds.
Salaam alaikum Imran,
Thanks for bringing this up.
I am in touch with Manzoor and we found someone who might be able to help us in Kashmir. I will have to talk to him again.
We will soon set up a bank account as well, but the problem is we will need a couple of account holders to do so. Having a registered organization would make it more secure for them. If it takes any longer than a couple of weeks to register our organization I will try to find people to open an account, InshaALLAH.
