I was in my mid teens when one day I came across a novel which many of my cousins and family members were going crazy about. I read the novel and appreciated it, Name of the novel was “If tomorrow comes” and it was written by Sidney Sheldon which initially I considered name of an attractive women until I saw the PIC of the man with white hair. With the passage of time I read almost all the books by Mr. Sheldon or saw movies based on his books. Eventually I discovered that without exception all of his characters, stories and themes revolve around revenge and wealth. He uses whatever he can to add more commercial appeal to the book and for this reason lot of explicit expression is found in his way of story telling. In order to verify my suspicion I searched and found that he is a Jew. The indicating factors were 1: Revenge 2: Wealth 3: Manipulation through power 4: Lack of moral values while enhancing commercial appeal.
Simple Googling provides us with the details of Jewish success in the field of media and Finance .Jewish control ranges in all major forms of media at the largest groups. For example Walt Disney, Warner Brothers (and its subsidiary HBO), ABC, ESPN etc. In print media its Time magazine, Newsweek etc. In the world of finance sources claim that City Bank, Visa Card, Master card are controlled by Jews.
There is every possibility that information provided about Jewish dominance might be exaggerated but what about 49(Bio Med) 28(Chemistry) 24(Economics) 44(Physics) 12 Literature, Nobel Laureates whose names are mentioned for Jewish plat forms, Why wouldn’t these Nobel prize winners deny Jewish connections if they do not exist. Even for the sake of arguments if we do not accept Jews as the largest ethnicity to win Nobel prizes what about the fact that Israel is dominating the Arab world while being surrounded by them and so many Arab countries even when united cant liberate the Sacred places from Jewish control. There has to be something special about them. Is it revenge which keeps them going (after the holocaust) or greed to expand and control. Whatever it is, must be something which we do not have because at the time of partition we as a nation also sacrificed so many lives but forgot all about it even before the second Pakistani generation grew young. Our ancestors came to subcontinent while expanding Muslim empire but we do not reflect such character which shows dominance and aggression, actually we display submission and impoverish thinking which simply does not relate us with our roots.
In spite of the fact that we have had our share of sacrifices, unlike Jews we have not learned from our past and we just live in it.

The Blood sucking lover!
One of the most frequent questions which I ask from my students is if they like to read Books of any type or by some particular author and the usual reply which I get is Oh! Books are so boring and then they tell me their ideas of recreation which include SMS wars, crank calls, movies and music etc.
About an year ago I started noticing a book at the desks of the class during free periods or with my students .The title “Twilight” attracted me because of its colors which were red and black After going through the introduction and asking few questions, I came to know that it’s a new series by a writer Stephanie Meyers and the theme revolves around falling in love with a vampire!. The writer has been very elaborative about vampire charms and related description.
My immediate reaction was Oh! another teenage Fad but to my surprise (and to bit disappointment) I noticed students following the second part (and going crazy at the movie of the first one).
I know sometimes different things gain popularity just because a crowd joins in to follow the Fad but soon they loose it when the crowd moves out for some newer interest. In this particular case surprising element was the theme which inspired the teens (A blood sucking lover!).Even though the over all effort seems to be about highlighting good side of being a vampire.
This fascination can have various explanations like these days society is under constant threats of violent groups but the system and its associates which are supposed to defend us, seem to be getting weaker due to which our idea of security and protection comes from things and people with unnatural powers. The other opinion can be the typical one, Falling in love with a human is just a bit too typical so let’s try something new!
