  1. Dear Abbas Ali, congratulations !!.. Well done……
    To be happy, make other people happy. Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Your most precious, valued possessions and your greatest powers are invisible and intangible. No one can take them. You, and you alone, can give them. You will receive abundance for your giving.

  3. his background is in auditing and marketing.he did his masters in muslim civilizations but writing skills in politics .if this makes Hunzukut proud then we should think on ourself, where we are.
    we should be proud for those who are really doing well in their own fields like Malik sahib who did his masters from Harward n other many hunzais got graduated with good positions in different european and american universities this year.I don|t criticize this person but we will be pround on him when he would do something extra ordinary in his own filed …not jack of all trades..congrats for him…

  13. Dear friends and well wishers,
    I thank Nur for his title where he mentioned about me to make Hunza proud. Fearlessly, boldly, with dedication and commitment it is most satisfying achivement of my life whenever I have been able to contribute towards bettrment of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan and Hunza . I could talk of humanity in general while I will go deepdown in the philosophical and theoretical intercacies and jorgans, however, practically I am a son of the soil of Gilgit-Baltistan. Gilgit-Baltistan would be my top priority in life when it comes to serve , this way ultimatly a contribution to whole humanity. With my limited skills, knowledge and understanding I could not be able to reach to serve the whole humanity and be beneficial to Gilgit-Baltistan effectivley, where as it is possible to work other way round.

    Let me put here my humble thanks for all my friends, dear ones, mentors and well wishers who have extended their congratulation to me and shared my happiness. Socrates, was indepted to the society tremendously from which he has learned his wisdom, though he had to had the cup of poision to die. Today I am lucky enough to be benefitted from many chances of learning that my society has provided me with, in fact, individiually I would not have been able to achive even a fraction of out I have tody. Whatever achievements came into my lape, those I have today, I am highly indebted to lots of people in my life thos who have inspired me, supported me financially, emotionally and have given me courge to excell in life, including my parents, uncles, life partner, and community at large. Two names those have a lasting imprint on my career path are my Primary school teacher Habib Ullah Jan, now teaching at D.J School Ahmad Abad Hunza but than was at D.J Primary Schools Salman Abad (Gamysarat), and in professional life Amin Beg, who was my boss at my first job with KHDP-AKCSP, I am highly indepted for the spark they have ignited in me although with hard and painful lessons they put me through.

    Michel Focult reknowned philosopher and sociologist of 20th centurey, championed the idea of knowledge-power that decides about good and bad in societies rather it determines what is good and what is bad. Today, people from Gilgit-Baltistan have reached to the supreme insitutions of knowledge construction in the contemporary world meritocractically and have the zeal to shoulder the development process of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan, through their knowlege they could enforce what is good in our own context and what is bad to our society, creating a process of empowerment. It is not necessary for a hen to hetch all the eggs it has laid but it is always expected that some of those eggs could become chickens, given that it continue to give eggs. So that it is not necessary that all those who reached to supreme insititutions of learning would be having a pain for pbulic life equally but the process should remain continously going on so that some should be coming forward with zeal to serve the people of Gilgit-Baltistan. What we could do is very important, yes we all want development. But how could we achive development in real terms, lets find the answer in the title of the Noble prizer winner Amartya Sen “ Development as Freedom” it is not Freedom as Development. With hope to be sharing the fruits of empowerment of our socities and individuals with same commitment, dedication, bold steps and hard work. Once again I extend my heart felt thanks to all of you for your good wishes and congratulations.
