فیچر تحریر:

فیچر کا مقصد خبروں کو خود ہی پہنچانا نہیں ہے۔ان میں خبروں کے عنصر ہوتے ہی ، لیکن ان کا بنیادی کام انسان بنانا ، رنگ شامل کرنا ، تعلیم دینا ، دل بہلنا ، روشن کرنا۔ فیچر میں اکثر ایسی اہم خبروں کی بازیافت کرتے ہیں جو پچھلے خبروں کے چکر میں رپورٹ ہوئی تھیں۔

 

 فیچر:

.خبروں کو حرکت دینے یا شکل دینے والے واقعات کی وضاحت کریں۔ .تجزیہ کریں کہ دنیا ، قوم یا معاشرے میں کیا ہو رہا ہے۔ .ناظرین کو کچھ سکھائیں۔ .جینے کے بہتر طریقے تجویز کریں۔ .رجحانات کی جانچ پڑتال کریں۔ .دل بہلنا۔

 

ہارڈ نیوز اور سافٹ نیوز:

٠ایک خبر کی کہانی مشکل ہوسکتی ہے ، جتنا اختصار سے واضح ہو سکے سوہو ، کیا ، کہاں ، کب ، کیوں اور کس طرح کی تقریب ہے۔

٠یا یہ ان لوگوں ، مقامات اور چیزوں کی جانچ پڑتال کے لئے پیچھے کھڑے ہوسکتے ہیں جو دنیا ، قوم یا معاشرے کی تشکیل کرتے ہیں۔

 

ہارڈ نیوز کے واقعات:

جیسےکہ کسی مشہور عوامی شخصیت کی موت یا ٹیکسوں میں اضافے کے لئے سٹی کونسل کے منصوبے بہت سے لوگوں کو متاثر کرتے ہیں۔

 

سافٹ نیوز:

 ایتھلیٹوں میں ٹیٹو کرنے کی وسیع پیمانے پر مقبولیت یا بارہماسی باغبانی میں دلچسپی کو دوبارہ جنم دینے کی بھی خبر دینا میڈیا کے ذریعہ۔

ان نرم خبروں کے واقعات پر فیچرکہانیاں اکثر لکھی جاتی ہیں۔

کسی خبر کی کہانی اور کسی فیچر کے مابین کوئی پختہ لائن نہیں ہے:

 

٠کسی خبر کی کہانی اور فیچر کے مابین کوئی پختہ قطعیت موجود نہیں ہے ، خاص طور پر عصری میڈیا میں جب بہت ساری خبروں کو "نمایاں" کیا جاتا ہے۔ مثلًا کہ ، اولمپک مقابلے کے نتائج سخت خبر ہوسکتے ہیں: "کینیڈا کے غوطہ خور این مونٹگمینی نے آج مطابقت پذیر ڈائیونگ میں اپنا دوسرا تمغہ جیتنے کا دعوی کیا ہے۔"

٠ایک فیچر کی کہانی کا آغاز ہوتا ہے: "جب ایک لڑکی اپنے گھر کے پیچھے بہتے ندی میں لاگ ان کود رہی ہے تو ، این مونٹگمینی نے کبھی سوچا بھی نہیں تھا کہ وہ اولمپک ڈائیونگ مقابلے کی روشنی میں کود پڑے گی۔"

٠ایک نقطہ نظر واقعہ کے حقائق پر زور دیتا ہے ، جبکہ خصوصیت کہانی کی انسانی دلچسپی کو ایڈجسٹ کرنے کے لئے حقائق کو بدل دیتی ہے۔

٠زیادہ تر خبر نشریات یا مطبوعات وسیع تر سامعین تک پہنچنے کے لئے ان دونوں کو جوڑ دیتے ہیں۔

 

فیچر کی اقسام:

انسانی مفادات کی کہانیاں:

کسی انسان کی دلچسپی کی کہانی کسی مضمون کی عجیب و غریب حیثیت یا اس کی عملی ، جذباتی یا تفریحی قدر کو ظاہر کرنے کے لئے لکھی گئی ہے۔

رجحانات کی کہانیاں:

ٹرینڈ اسٹوری میں لوگوں ، چیزوں یا تنظیموں کی جانچ ہوتی ہے جن کا معاشرے پر اثر پڑ رہا ہے۔

رجحانات کی کہانیاں مشہور ہیں کیوں کہ لوگ تازہ ترین اشارے پڑھنے یا سننے کے لئے پرجوش ہیں۔

 

گہری کہانیاں:

وسیع تر تحقیق اور انٹرویوز کے ذریعے ، گہرائی کی کہانیاں بنیادی خبروں کی کہانی یا خصوصیت سے بالاتر ہو کر ایک تفصیلی اکاؤنٹ فراہم کرتی ہیں۔ 

 

پس منظر:

 

٠ایک پس منظر رکھنے والا - جسے تجزیہ پییک بھی کہا جاتا ہے - موجودہ مسائل کو ان کی مزید وضاحت کے ذریعہ معنی بخشتا ہے۔

٠یہ مضامین سامعین کو تازہ ترین لاتے ہیں ، اور یہ بتاتے ہیں کہ یہ ملک ، اس تنظیم ، اس شخص کا حال یہ ہوتا ہے کہ وہ اب کہاں ہے۔

 

فیچر اسٹوریز لکھنا اور آرگنائز کرنا:

 

٠فیچر تحریر مکمل طور پر  ہی الٹی پیرامڈ فارم کا استعمال کرتے ہیں۔

٠اس کے بجائے ، وہ ایک تاریخ نگاری لکھ سکتے ہیں جو اپنے اختتام میں سے کسی کے بارے میں یا ان میں سے ایک مجموعہ کے بارے میں ، ایک داستان ، ایک پہلا شخصa مضمون ہے جو آخر میں ایک عروج پر پہنچتا ہے۔

٠ان کی کہانیاں ایک دھاگے کے ساتھ مل کر رکھی جاتی ہیں ، اور وہ اکثر اسی جگہ پر ختم ہوتی ہیں جہاں ایک ہی شخص یا واقعہ کے ساتھ ہی برتری کا آغاز ہوتا ہے۔

 

فیچر اسٹوری کو منظم کرنے کے لئے عام طور پر اقدامات:

٠تھیم کا انتخاب کرنا:مرکزی خیال ، موضوع اسکالرز پیپر کے تھیسس سے ملتا جلتا ہے اور اس ٹکڑے میں اتحاد اور ہم آہنگی فراہم کرتا ہے۔ یہ زیادہ وسیع یا زیادہ تنگ نہیں ہونا چاہئے۔ مرکزی خیال ، موضوع کا انتخاب کرتے وقت عوامل اہمیت رکھتے ہیں:

٠کیا کہانی پہلے ہو چکی ہے؟

٠کیا حاضرین کی دلچسپی کی کہانی ہے؟

٠کیا کہانی میں طاقت (جذباتی اپیل) ہے؟

٠کیا کہانی اس کے قابل ہےکہ وضاحت پیش کی جاۓ؟مرکزی خیال ، موضوع سوال کا جواب دیتا ہے ، "تو کیا؟"

 

ایک ایسی برتری لکھیں جو سامعین کو کہانی کی دعوت دے:

٠ایک فیچرکے لئے خلاصہ بہترین لیڈ نہیں ہوسکتا ہے۔

٠ایک یا دو پیراگراف کا لیڈ بلاک اکثر ایک خصوصیت کا آغاز کرتا ہے۔

٠فیچر کے مصنف نے کہانی کے اخذ کردہ عناصر کو آگے بڑھانے کے بجائے ، مزاج قائم کرنے ، قارئین کو جگانے کے لئے ، اندر داخل کرنے کے لئے پہلے دو یا تین پیراگراف کا استعمال کیا ہے۔

٠پھر خبر پیگ یا کہانی کی اہمیت تیسرے یا چوتھے پیراگراف ، نٹ گراف میں فراہم کی گئی ہے۔کیونکہ یہ کہانی کی تحریر کی وجہ کی وضاحت کرتا ہے ، نٹ گراف - جسے "تو کیا" گراف بھی کہا جاتا ہے - ہر خصوصیت کا ایک اہم پیراگراف ہے۔کہانی میں نٹ گراف زیادہ ہونا چاہئے۔

 

باڈی  :

٠باڈی اہم معلومات مہیا کرتی ہے جب وہ تعلیم دیتی ہے ، تفریح دیتی ہے اور جذباتی طور پر نظریں  کو اس موضوع سے جوڑنظریں  رکھتی ہے۔

٠اختتام کہانی کو سمیٹ لے گا اور اکثر اوقات اقتباس یا حیرت انگیز عروج کے ساتھ دوبارہ منظرعام پر آجائے گا۔

٠کسی فیچر کی کہانی کہ جسم کے اہم حصے میں پس منظر کی معلومات ، کہانی کا دھاگہ ، منتقلی ، مکالمہ اور آواز شامل ہیں۔

 

براہ راست کوٹیشن چھڑکیں،کہانی میں مشاہدات اور اضافی پس منظر۔ پیراگراف تاریخ یا اہمیت کے لحاظ سے لکھے جا سکتے ہیں۔

 

دھاگے کا استعمال کریں۔کہانی کا آغاز ، باڈی اور اختتام کو مربوط کریں۔

٠چونکہ عام طور پر ایک فیچر کسی خبر کی کہانی سے زیادہ لمبی چلتی ہے ، لہذا پوری کہانی میں دھاگہ باندھنا موثر ہے ، جو سیسہ کو جسم اور اختتام تک مربوط کرتا ہے۔

٠یہ تھریڈ ایک فرد ، واقعہ یا کوئی چیز ہوسکتا ہے ، اور یہ عام طور پر تھیم کو نمایاں کرتا ہے۔

 

٠منتقلی کا استعمال کریں۔عبارت کو عبوری الفاظ ، پیراگراف اور براہ راست حوالوں سے مربوط کریں۔

متعدد افراد یا واقعات کی جانچ پڑتال میں ایک لمبی فیچر میں منتقلی خاص طور پر اہم ہوتی ہے کیونکہ یہ وہ ٹول مصنف ہوتا ہے جو ایک شخص یا عنوان سے دوسرے شخص تک منتقل ہوجاتا ہے۔

٠منتقلی قارئین کو تحریروں سے مضطرب ہونے سے روکتی ہے۔

ممکن ہو تو مکالمہ استعمال کریں:

٠فیچر رائٹنگ  کی طرح نمایاں مصنفین بھی اکثر کہانی کو متحرک رکھنے کے لئے مکالمے کا استعمال کرتے ہیں۔

٠یقینن ، فیچر لکھنے والے مکالمہ نہیں کر سکتے۔ رپورٹنگ کے عمل کے دوران وہ سنتے ہیں۔

٠اچھا مکالمہ کسی کہانی میں اچھے مشاہدے کی طرح ہوتا ہے۔ یہ قارئین کو مضبوط ذہنی نقوش دیتا ہے اور انھیں تحریر اور کہانی کے اہم کھلاڑیوں سے جوڑتا رہتا ہے۔

 

ایک آواز قائم کرنہ:

 

٠ایک اور کلیدی عنصر جس میں ایک فیچر کا ساتھ ہے وہ ہے آواز ، "دستخط" یا ہر مصنف کا ذاتی انداز۔

٠آواز مصنف کی شخصیت ہے اور اسے رنگ ، لہجے اور کہانی میں لطیف جذباتی تبصرہ انجیکشن کرنے کے لئے استعمال کیا جاسکتا ہے۔آواز کو باریک استعمال کرنا چاہئے۔

٠خبروں کی تحریر میں ایک مخصوص آواز کے واضح دخل کو گونزو صحافت کہا گیا ہے۔

 

عاقبت:

 

کوٹیشن یا تھریڈ کے کسی اور حصے کے ساتھ اختتام پذیر ہوں۔ایک فیچر خبروں کی کہانی کی طرح پیچھے ہٹ سکتی ہے یا اس کا اختتام کسی کلیمیکس سے ہوسکتا ہے۔

٠اکثر ، کسی فیچر کا اختتام اس مقام پر ہوتا ہے جہاں برتری کا آغاز کسی ایک فرد یا واقعہ کے ساتھ ہوتا ہے۔

 

فیچر کی تلاش

رجحان سے باخبر رہنا:

 

بہت ساری بہترین کہانیاں ان کے آس پاس کی دنیا کے نامہ نگاروں کے مشاہدے سے آتی ہیں۔یہاں صرف ایک مثال ہے کہ آپ اپنی روزمرہ کی زندگی میں فیچر کی ایک عمدہ کہانی کو کس طرح دیکھ سکتے ہیں:

 

آپ دوپہر کے کھانے کے وقت دوستوں کے ساتھ گھوم رہے ہیں اور ہفتے کے آخر کے منصوبوں کے بارے میں بات کر رہے ہیں۔کوئی کہتا ہے کہ انہوں نے سنا ہے کہ ٹاؤن کونسل نوعمروں کے لئے کرفیو پر غور کررہی ہے۔ ١٦ سال سے کم عمر ہر شخص کو ہفتے کے آخر میں ١١ بجے تک سڑکوں سے نکلنا ہوگا۔آپ کا اپنا کرفیو ہے۔ جو آپ کے والدین نے ترتیب دیا ہے - لیکن آپ یہ جان کر حیران ہیں کہ میئر ہر ایک کے لئے ایک جگہ رکھنا چاہتا ہے۔آپ اپنے کچھ دوستوں سے بات کرتے ہیں تاکہ معلوم کریں کہ وہ کیا سوچتے ہیں۔آپ اور دیگر متعلقہ نوجوان ٹاؤن ہال میں جاتے ہیں اور میئر یا کسی کونسلر سے پوچھتے ہیں کہ انہیں کرفیو کی ضرورت کیوں نظر آتی ہے۔آپ نیٹ پر سرف ڈالیں اور معلوم کریں کہ دوسرے شہر اور شہر کیا کام کررہے ہیں۔

آپ کو لگتا ہے کہ شمالی امریکہ میں یہ تھوڑا سا رجحان ہے

واقعی ایک دلچسپ فیچر کی اساس آپ کے پاس جو ابھی ہے۔آپ کیا جانتے ہیں اس کے بارے میں معلومات کے لئے تھوڑا سا حصہ لیا ہے اور مزید تفتیش کی ہے۔کہانی اس مسئلے اور اس میں شامل لوگوں کے خیالات اور احساس پر مرکوز ہوگی - یعنی مقامی نوجوانوں اور کرفیو کے بارے میں فیصلہ لینے والے افراد۔

Asghar Khoso
People call me Comedian

Isra Soomro
Profile MA Roll#23

Famous name of Sindh  Asghar Khoso, God has blessed him with multi-talent. An uneducated boy
from a poor background, who's father was just a clerk, took family responsibility after his father;s
demise, did a different type of labors to fulfill family requirements.
Born on 1 January 1975 in Johi village in Dadu district, is known for his unique style of comedy with a
mix of Sindhi and Urdu languages. Indeed he was born in a poor family with zero education but always
dreamed big. In the village, he asks people for the charity of Rs.2 to Rs.5 so he can organize stage shows, but that was not so easy, he told us "when I used to ask for charity to organizing the event people laugh on me and say, you were born to beg. These lines just break me but I never give up on my aims and move on ;. His hard work, struggle, and talent is not hidden from us in his case, it is very clear you get what you work for not what you wish for, he said: “ once I didn’t have such amount that I couldn't
arrange a stage for the show so I perform it on a disowned damage bus which was standing in the park”.
He use to entertain villagers at a wedding by performing an act but now his most famous song "
Hojamalo-Asghar Khoso version" is being played in every ceremony.
Sindhi famous and traditional song "Hojamalo" which itself has a history, Asghar Khoso has created his own version. Hojamalo-Asghar Khoso version is such a love I believe no one can resist dancing on it.
When we ask him about his music career, what amazes him to sing songs he said: "I believe in staying multi-talented personality, if I'm going to some event and going to perform just a comedy act, so how long it would take? Just 10 to 15 mints, so what about the remaining show and the most important part of the event is that I'm the only invited artist. So I have to cover the complete event, this is the main reason I start singing. I have a bad voice but still sing just to entertain the audience.
Life is not a fairy tale it is full of hurdles, his life not as funny as he is on stage, he said " once my mother was in hospital but I had to leave her there alone because of some commitment. My son is an asthma
patient, many times it happens likes I've to leave him in hospital and go for commitments because
commitments are important. It's not like my family is not important for me but whatever I'm doing, it ;s obviously for them and their future"
He is the one Who earned his reputation and name on his own, with the support of "social media".His melodies are not only well-known in Sindh but all over the country. Some of his melodies just like  ; Mere Rashke Qamar-funny version got 6.5M views on YouTube and got famous in neighbor state as well as".

In comparison to traditional media he chose social media whereas traditional media has a huge
platform, he told us "l have weighted complete day outside of channels and director offices instead of
giving me a chance they made fun of me but after 4 years of struggle Allah sent an Angel in the face of
the human being " late Mr. Ghulam Shabir Jamali", he was one who created my Facebook ID even
though I told him I'm uneducated but he didn't even listen to me once. He always wanted Khoso
becomes famous, I recorded my first video at his place. Mine that video went viral and then I created my

Facebook page, till now I have 98,000+ followers on Facebook page and 610k followers on YouTube,
even though I am honored with the Silver button".
He himself is not education but the aim of his life is to educate his sons "Adil Khoso ; and "Hasnain
Khoso", he has huge dreams for them and he has a strong believe that one day they would not be
recognized by sons of comedian but a comedian would be recognized by their names.
A comedian with such enormous fan following with no arrogance no attitude, love, and respect by fan.
One of his fan Mr. Rizwan Memon quoted " Allah has made this man so talented, as it is said talented
person is talented everywhere. I'm 100% sure his talent will shine like a moon in the sky full of stars".He
is loved by a lot of people, a lot of people wish and pray for him.
"My entire focus is on the gold button by YouTube" Asghar Khoso says.

Let's talk about Mini Dubai

Isra Soomro

MA Roll #23

Feature

Mini Dubai? Commonly known as Qasimabad a highly-populated area of Hyderabad, the majority of residents are Sindhis. Qasimabad is known as Mini Dubai because, as Dubai is surrounded by sea area, Qasimabad is surrounded by a slum area. People from different states move to Dubai for a healthy and wealthy life span, in the same way people of interior Sindh move to Hyderabad for the sake of a wealthy life span and welcomed by Qasimabad. Someone comes for the sake of education, some come for wealth and some come for sake of health.

Not so old not so new, history of Qasimabad let’s share with you, when Muhammad Bin Qasim invaded Sindh, Qasimabad was named after him. After 1947;People from the neighborhood state entered Sindh got no space,then an extension created for them, that extension was created in Hyderabad.

Qasimabad got popularity, after the dispute of Sindhi Mahajir in 1988. Sindhis from allover Hyderabad decided to move to Qasimabad, and made it populated but now you will find each and every cast in Qasimabad.

Qasimabad is called Mini Dubai just because of expensive markets just like Dubai. Each and everything is sold on high rates, no authorities are able to inquire about the rates. They sell goods on their rates, when they are been asked “why the rates are so high?” you will get a simple reply “because it is Imran Khan’s empire”.

Kiryana store, general store, medical, greengrocer store or pushcart, all are commonly found on Naseem Nagar chowk or Main Qasimabad Chowk. Lists provided by the government to them are never found. When we ask them about the list, they will always show you bye bye wrist and when they got raid by some authorities, they pay then handsome reward and get waive off from such authorities.

The reason behind their own generated price list are, the Elite class of Qasimabad. They don’t even bother to ask the rates,they not even leave their AC cars just order there drivers or retainer to pickup the goods from the store. Just because of these Elites of Qasimabad, every other class, lower, middle, or white-collarare suffering from the vendors wish list.

At Naseem Nagar chowk you can find Nana wala, Haleem and Biryani stall. These stalls most probably facilitate the labor class in the afternoon hours, who are working on sights and can’t go for lunch back to their houses. These stalls are also blessings for those students and bachelors, who live in a hostel near Wadhu Wah road. Same Biryani stall, sales savory snacks like Channa Chat and PaniPuri in evening hours. You can also find a Pharmacy at the same corners, we talked to the costumers available at that pharmaceutical store he said: “I use to buy every medicine from this store this store is reasonable and used to have all sorts of medicines ”. Here you can also find a mobile accessories shop and tea hotel. Which is very famous in this area, according to customers their tea is good from others.

On the other side of Naseem Nagar opposite Wadhu Wah, here you can find a laboratory of some private hospital. Residents of areas near to Wadhu Wah road don't need to go far away for any medical tests, it is a blessing or a gift for them. you can also find hardware and paint shop there,  according to the customer “this shop is a facility for the residents of Naseem Nagar and AlamdarChowk. But it is a little bit costly than the paint market in Bori Bazar”. After the paint shop you can find a restaurant which is been operated in the evening hours. Here you can find some barbershops as well as. I don’t know which one is better but trust me all of them must be having huge competition,.

If we compare the Qasimabad market with other markets in Hyderabad so it is quite costly than others.Greengrocer market in Qasimabad was selling ladyfingers for Rs150 kg, Onions Rs.50kg, cabbage Rs.80 kg,Potatoes Rs.40kg but on the other side, the market in Latifabad unit # 8 was selling vegetables on half rate of it or more than half in Qasimabad. We talked to one of the vendor at vegetable market unit # 8 we asked his rates of ladyfingers and potatoes, he said“the ladyfingers are for Rs.80 kg and Potatoes for Rs.20 kg”. Isn’t it's surprising that Latifabad market selling products for half of the rates in Qasimabad market?

Not only greengroery is expensive in Qasimabad but every sort of stuff, even the wholesale market. If you actually looking for wholesale rates you have to definitely go for the Latifabthead market or a market in City area.

Qasimabad is located west of Hyderabad so in this way it’s also nearby to Indus river but still people face water issues. Some areas of Qasimabad are suffering from lack of water and some of them getting  smelly water.

[[While talking to residents of]] Abdullah town about the storage of water, so one of resident Mr: ShazaibChanna told us that “there is no lack of water but yes we face smellywater in the water line supplied by WASA, we got water boring to meet requirements of freshwater”.Why are residents facing such issues? Where are there sreponsible people of Qasimabad municipal committee?

Hyderabad is one of the fast-growing cities of Pakistan and 2nd largest city of Sindh were Qasimabad is the most influenced area by the process of urbanization in Hyderabad.

Slums are commonly known as Kachi abadi, as in the start I told you our Mini Dubai is surrounded by slum areas so there’s one of the slum area at the end of Qasimabad where the army cantonment limit begins.Where water is standing as a result of sewage drained trough Wadhu wah, but who cares about these IDPs? I believe they might be facing more problems them Qasimabad.

 Due to the high population in Qasimabad, residents face traffic issues which is commonly known as traffic conjunction. Traffic conjunction is mostly cause byroad under construction which is waiting for more funds to be released by the government so they can be completed, but you and I know better where do these funds go. So no more comments, move to the next issue.

 Maximum traffic congestion is caused by the behavior of drivers. From research it’s clear that 74% of traffic conjunction is caused by drivers. And 70% traffic conjunction is caused in commercial areas of Qasimabad.

Car showrooms are also the main cause of traffic jams. Half of the roads are covered by their displayed cars. But no authorities are able to enquire about them. If they are questioned by any authority they just give bribe and problem solved.

According to Dawn newspaper of  7th March 2020; On 12th of January the protesters, led by the Nazim of the union council Abdul KhaliqChandio and leaders of the action committee, called upon the authorities to solve problems related to sewerage, drainage and roads in the Qasimabad. This really demanded RS.100 millions from the government for the improvements in local Sewage and drainage system. They have demanded repairs and reconstruction of regular roads and slum areas and small and old villages in Qasimabad but the interesting thing is that these all  problems have been resolved, but only on papers. Not in reality, and are never going to be.

I hope you might  got enough knowledge about the problems and issues faced by residents of Qasimabad . Keep Qasimabad in your prayers.

Feature

Revise it too many language and grammatical mistakes.

Compare Qasimabad with Latifabad and old city areas in prices, life style, social, cultural aspects etc.

Qasimabad is dominated by new urbanites, who have come from different rural areas of Sindh.

Rural cultural and social touch exists. This u have to show thru observation and talk with people.

Initially it was settlement of new elites of Sindhi speaking.

Proper noun should be with cap.

This has turned to be an article, not feature.

Let’s Visit Mini Dubai

Isra Soomro

MA  Roll #23

_{Mini Dubai ? Commonly known as Qasimabad, a highly populated area, located at West of Hyderabad. Qasimabad is known as Mini Dubai because, as Dubai is surrounded with sea area, Qasimabad is surrounded by slum area. As people come faraway from there countries to Dubai to earn money, in the same way people from interior Sindh , someone comes for earning ,some for studies or some for better lifestyle move to Mini Dubai (Qasimabad).}  

_{Qasimabad was named after the ( do not put the with a person’s name) Muhammad bin Qasim invaded Sindh. After 1947 migrants arrived from across the border ,an extension to Hyderabad city was need along with the Latifabad so Qasimabad came into existence. (When)}

Add this: Ethnic riots in old city area and dacoits activities in middle belt of Sindh of early nineties, turned this new settlement as pure Sindhi dominated. Otherwise, housing schemes had plots of other ethnic communities also.

 _{Earlier it was called Doabao}

_{But now a days Qasimabad is know as Mini Dubai by it’s  locals, not only due to the reasons I mentioned before but because of it’s markets rates . Let’s start our journey from expensive markets of Qasimabad . Each and every thing is too costly and are being sale (sold)  on more then (than) there original price mentioned in price list provided by the government. But whenever you ask about the list provided by government they have a clear answer “ list are being changed on regular note so we don’t keep it” but the funny thing is that when they face any raid from authorities  bundle of list comes out from there shops and stalls  and they claim we charge customer according to the price list.}

_{As  in upper paragraph I was talking about the local markets and the pushcart all over in the Qasimabad but on the other side, let’s talk  about super markets in Qasimabad such as Super save  Daily bachat and Max Bachat  there price rates are as comparativly low  to the local market just like market at Naseem Nagar chock and Ali Palace. They sale products at there wish list, no one is here to enquire them. No one is able to ask them not even government authorities.  So the residents of Qasimabad are obliged to buy goods on shopkeepers own price list or should say own generated high price list.}

 _{Let’s move to the next destination, prices list are not the only issues for the residents of Qasimabad Lack of water is one of the main issue for the residents of Mini Dubai. As this town is located near to river Indus and some of the areas of this town are connected with dam still there is lack of water in Mini Dubai. But this is not issue for complete Qasimabad but for few areas in it. So now a days people have started drilling wells commonly known as boring at there own houses to complete(meet) requirement of fresh drinking water. [[We talked to few people The residents of ]] Abdullah town  faces  shortage of water.  A  resident Mr Shazaib Channa told us that “there is no lack of water but yes we face smiley drainage water in are freshwater line. This was the main reason we have drilled well in our home which facility as well as our neighbourhood. We don't use water line provided by WASA it’s  not in our use but still we have to pay it's bill” . Resident of area near to Ali Palace said “my house is located near to dam but still we face water issues . We don't get fresh water for week or some times more than a week. So it got necessary to drill the water well at our own place. Our boring water it little bit bitter but it is a common saying that something is better then nothing”.}

 _{Lets continue our journey to next destination which is about traffic conjunction in main Qasimabad and Naseem Nagar chock, (chowk)  due to the uneven and destroyed road I believe majority of Qasimabad  own vehicle car, bike, Suzuki or any other sort vehicle. But roads of main Qasimabad  near Ali Palace are so worst, if you want to reach somewhere at 6 o'clock you have to leave your place at 5:30 o'clock.}

_{In many areas they have drill hole for Sewage purpose but forgot to close them, it is dangerous but who cares about it, they are waiting for more  funds  to be released by government so they can close it, but you and me knows  better where does these funds  go. So no more comments on it and let’s continue our journey.}

_{The reason for traffic conjunction in Qasimabad and Naseem Nagar chock is not only destroyed road,  but lack of implementation of traffic rules mainly in peak hours, unmanageable optimal transportation policies. Maximum traffic congestion is caused by behaviour of drivers while they drive, are also important factors of traffic jams. From research it’s clear that 74% of traffic conjunction is caused by drivers. And 70% traffic conjunction is caused in commercial areas. Naseem Nagar chock and main Qasimabad are well known commercial areas.}

_{Our next destination are Slum areas of Qasimabad, Slum is usually used for people living under poverty lifestyle in Urban areas. Slums are caused in urban areas, reason of slum are disqualification of government to provide necessary living accommodation to rural migrants in Urban city/town. Hyderabad is the one of the fast  growing city of Pakistan and 2nd largest city of Sindh, were Qasimabad is most influenced area by the process of urbanization in Hyderabad . Slums are commonly known as Kachi abadi .}

_{Slums area in Qasimabad are Baghri ghoat near Jejal Mao hospital, Kachi abadi opposite Honda palace Jamshoro road, Kachi abadi behind Shahbaz Building, Soomra ghoat near wadhu wah and many more it not necessary that every Kachi abadi has name and many of them move there abadi if they ordered by any authorities. Trust me they are the one who face all types of problems such like sewage , water issues , destroyed roads, garbage everywhere, ignored by district authorities, living under poverty level and many more.}

This really demanded  for RS  100 millions from government for the improvements in local Sewage and drainage system. They also demanded for repair reconstruction of  regular roads and slum areas and small and old villages in Qasimabad but the interesting thing is that  these all road and drainage problems have been resolved, but only on papers. Not in reality, and are never going to be.}

Common myths and superstition in Sindh 

 Article Isra Soomro   Roll # 23

When I was about to come into this world, my mom is pretty but she start getting prettier. So everyone told her that you are going to give birth to a baby boy. As in Sindh it is said for a pregnant women, if "she gets pretty while her pregnancy, she is going give birth to a boy" and if "she start getting ugly she is going to birth to a girl", but it is just a myth. The beauty and physical appearance of anyone depends on nutrition . As everyone knows that a pregnant woman needs meal for two, one for her and one for the lil one in her womb  , if she doesn't get proper subsistence , that is obvious it will effect her physical appearance. So that's clear in my mom's case it is totally a myth , as they welcomed a baby girl(me). There is an other very common superstition in Sindh for a pregnant woman while moon eclipse. A pregnant woman is told to "Rest complete day and to keep knife with her" on moon eclipse. Because it is a strong blieve that if a pregnant woman does any activity like stitching cutting etc it will be visible on baby after the birth. Our elders said they have seen such babies who's eyes where like someone has kitted them and the reason behind it was that their mother were  knitting sweater in their pregnancy while moon eclipse. I don't know how much truth and fact are in this story because superstition stories are so old that I think that baby with knitted eyes had grow old and die in his 80's. These superstition stories don't have any background these are just believed my everyone, on precaution modes. In future when u and me, gonna face same phase of life trust me we are definitely going to follow same precaution modes (keeping knife beside us in pregnancy ,while moon eclipse).

There are not only myths and superstition in Sindh regarding to pregnancy or pregnant woman. Let me share some more with you, our elders always says not to sweep at the night or after sunset, they believe "Sweeping home after sunset takes sustenance from home", but the reality is quite different from the belief. Actually when this superstitious was give in it was era when there was no light so after sunset it becomes dark and if any precious thing just like gold or diamond earring is fallen so in such scenario it would be monetary suicides  to Sweep The floor. I believe lose of expensive item is equivalent to lose of sustenance. So the superstition saying is correct some how.

Let me share some superstitious myths regarding to bad luck . Such as, there is a superstition belief that "Hanging of lemon and seven chilies keeps bad luck away from your property", but the science says the aroma produced fron the  acid , combined by lemon and chilies keeps pests and insects away from your property. There are some more superstition saying for bad luck such as , "Black cat cross ur path brings bad luck'. "Hanging of horseshoe keeps bad luck away" . There is one more belief , "Braking of glass' , there is a conflict on this myth. Some blieve it's good luck and some says it's sign of bad luck.

How could I forget so famous superstition "When a crow crows on a roof top".It is a sign of arrival of guests. That is a sweet myth. But crows do that all the time and you really cannot count on them. More of a rural myth I guess as in this smartpone /dumbpeople era, everybody relies on their phone rather than crows. I remember my grandma use to say take the name of the people u know, after the crow's crows , as u select correct name of the person who is going to visit crow will run away.

These are not the only myths there so others , I think I can write a book on them. Each and every myth has its own facts and beliefs and complete society rely on these myth and you can't argue with anyone's about their believes.
