Articles by Syed Ali

Ranchor Line ka Firangi

Syed Ali Nov 6, 2004 interacts: 26 Views: 4971

In Ranchor Line at night there is a kind of numb darkness that enshrouds the streets. On every corner and footpaths, scores of men sit and discuss life and shrills of laughter or the disquiet of loud words is heard almost incessantly.

The Fight

Syed Ali Sep 18, 2004 interacts: 10 Views: 2747

Hai yeh jang zindagi ki mot say
Man will find a reason to live
In the most desolate desert of life
There will always be a worthy fight


An Urgent Appeal to all Pakistanis

Syed Ali Aug 18, 2004 interacts: 77 Views: 11247

I request all of us to send statements of support to Mr. Ardeshir Cowasjee, a Journalist/Community Leader par excellence who has been threatened by the Sindh Minister of Industries.

Refugee for Life?

Syed Ali Aug 17, 2004 interacts: 84 Views: 12496

In any case, no failure will stop me to state that I am not a Muhajir or a refugee. This is my land as much as any one else born on it.

Of Men and Fences

Syed Ali Dec 16, 2003 interacts: 31 Views: 4034

Man they say is the only creature in this world that this world can survive without. It seems that if men were to be taken out of the ecosystem, it would flourish and continue for far longer than if man continue to exist within it.

The Racist Within

Syed Ali Nov 13, 2003 interacts: 27 Views: 4096

You will hear oft-repeated statements such as “ The system is too corrupt and I cannot be a part of it.” In essence every time we utter such ignorant generalisations we aid that system to become more degraded, more decadent, atleast in our vie

The Village of Kheruddin

Syed Ali Oct 16, 2003 interacts: 30 Views: 3851

You will see the shine of lust in the eyes of men and women and morality will stand aside on that day.

A Failed Education

Syed Ali Sep 2, 2003 interacts: 190 Views: 17432

This country is providing the lowest number of doctorate degree holders in this part of the world. Yet the number of expat Pakistanis going abroad for PHds, have increased dramatically. Pakistani Nationals teaching in overseas universities are increasing.

As Qurans Burn

We have warned you

An Answer to the Pro War Surrealists

If you feel that your way of life is better than us, than live it, but stop trying to impose it upon us.

The Desert of Barren Hate

Syed Ali Mar 16, 2003 interacts: 23 Views: 4429

For the children of palestine...

An Ode to Karachi

Syed Ali Nov 26, 2002 interacts: 18 Views: 4083

A simple man's Ode to the city of lights
