What is more important and what life purpose lies in ?
The people have lost the meaning and purpose of life and have devoted themselves towards an artificial life. Life means to be authentic and real, all the time to spread love and compassion towards others. Life is to explore the beauties and besties protect the natural laws to induce positivity and harmony in the world. Life is dynamic, practical and also not permanent, everyone in this world has to die which is the ultimate truth. People live their lives as they have never to leave this world. The cruelty is at peak in the world. No body cares about human rights violations. It is the time where human has no value, everyday thousands and thousands innocent are being killed around the globe. This can never be the purpose of life to live like.
As we see the current global situation which is worst in all circumstances you can see wars and others illegal, legal conflicts causes innocent killing, illegal harassment as live example Afghanistan, Palestine, Seria, Ukraine and many other countries involve in spreading international terrorism across the globe.
In life ethics is very important and we lack ethics in today’s education system. Practically if we see there is no one institution in the world who is genuinely working on ethical principles, Moral obligations etc. This is one of the important aspect which encourages the morality and humanity into thinking ideologies to live in peace. People have lost their ethical and moral characteristics. The concept of oneness is no where existing in the world. This is the peak time of inhumanity and injustice going on around the globe.
A common man everywhere is suffering; lets do individual approach to work on spreading love and compassion to recover peace and prosperity around the globe. It becomes the responsibility of every individual to recognise their responsibilities and follow on them continuously and aware others about the same. Life purpose meets up when you talk humbly and take care of all around you. There are people who worship and assume themselves as patrons of God, the political and Religious leaders such arrogance has to be shunned and true love promoted.
But in real sense they are owls to destroy the garden. The real meaning lies in service to humanity.
The biggest problem is people think only about themselves. They don’t care about others. To create a we feeling among the general public is very important issue to save this world before it is too late. We are one and will serve as one will fight as one will grow as one is the actual purpose to save humanity and natural laws. Collectively we can change and can bring a positive impact to build a strong and prosperous Nations.
Life is a precious gift of God and a beautiful small journey. Live it the fullest and enjoy the beauty and Nature around you. Respect and help everyone in need without expecting anything in return. Begin to spread love and compassion around you. Life is very short no one has to live forever, Do what God allows you to do and forbid what God denies to do.
Syed Irfan Hashmi a Freelance Journalist & Socio-Political Activist appeal all Global Leaders, common masses kindly look of the situation around the globe and do the needful to save humanity and morality principles which are daily being murdered without any hindrance. Be the ambassadors of peace spread love and compassion to prevail peace and harmony in the world.
Let’s together build a green and prosperous world all around. Let’s protect our earth. Let’s change our thoughts to change the world with love, peace and harmony.

The need of the hour is to rise against this monster. The action against suppliers of drugs by different law enforcement agencies in our region is a heart warming development.
On this anti-drug day, let’s take a step forward to aware everyone about harms of drug abuse and the same needs to be echeod in Kashmir. We should ensure to make Kashmir, country and world free from drug addiction.”
Expert pulse is also worried that in the past few decades especially Drug abuse has badly hit Kashmir with many surveys and ground reports suggesting abnormal rise in drug addicts in the valley of Kashmir.

Voices of sanity opine that We need to understand that Life is the only sure thing we have and don’t need to destroy it with drugs.
It is an unfortunate fact that more people die of drug overdose than car crashes worldwide, the drug epidemic is being called the most avoidable yet common reason for death.
Hope is high that our planet would be free from drug addiction soon.

Electricity is the need of present times. It is paramount for spending a comfortable life for every human.Electricity is an essential part of modern life and important to the every economy. People use electricity for lighting, heating, cooling, and refrigeration and for operating appliances, computers, electronics, machinery, and public transportation systems. It is used to run TV and also our mobile, internet depend on it. Every facility of modern life is directly or indirectly dependent on electricity.
The electricity woes or power woes have been always a major issue in Kashmir valley, although in recent years it has shown marked improvement.
This summer Kashmir is witnessing severe power cuts. The inadequate and unreliable power supply has not only disrupted domestic activities but also caused setbacks for local businesses, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities.
Recently, Stating that no power curtailment schedule has been announced in the Valley, the Kashmir Power Distribution Corporation Limited (KPDCL) on Saturday said that the electricity is being supplied as per the availability.
While talking to a news agency,
Chief Engineer, KPDCL, Javed Yousuf Dar said that there has been no circular with regard to the power curtailment in Kashmir. “The KPDCL has not announced any power curtailment,” he said when asked about the reports regarding two-hour power curtailment in morning and evening.
However, he said that the KPDCL has been managing the electricity supply to the people according to the availability.
“The electricity is being made available by JKPCL and we have been maintaining the electricity as per the availability and thus we have to go for the power curtailments because of the power availability issue at present,” he said.
He further said that there was no information about how long the issue will continue as it is the prerogative of JKPCL.
Pertinently, the consumers across Kashmir complained of erratic power cuts across the Valley, saying that there is no power schedule as the electricity is being snatched frequently, forcing them to reel under darkness.
Jammu and Kashmir has recorded a 25 per cent sudden cut in the power supply, a move that has triggered a “temporary power deficit in the UT.”
Consumers across length and breadth of Kashmir are facing dire situations due to lack of power supply in Kashmir, if this continues the ongoing summer will give many hardships to the masses.
Civil society of Kashmir is also concerned about unusual power cuts in Kashmir.
The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry has been observing the continued deteriorating electric power supply to people in general and the industrial and business concerns in particular, with grave concern.
A statement said that the erratic power supply with frequent breakdowns and unscheduled shutdowns is affecting public life in all spheres to an unbearable extent. “Contact the Chief Engineer he is too evasive to convince the aggrieved consumer about the prevailing irritating power supply system. As a result of frequently interrupted power supply apart from households sufferings; the industrial/business/traders/tourist establishments are incurring inexplicable losses besides mental agony.”
KCI would, therefore, request the administration to give considerate thought to the issue and the problems that it leads to and ensure straightening the system in a manner that the electricity consumers in all the fields of public life get uninterrupted 24×7 power supply which is the legitimate right of the people.
The need of the hour is to ensure unhindered power supply to the masses.
The rise in temperature throughout the world is a matter of serious concern. This will be double blow for both our environment and Agriculture. It is hurting the global food security.
This year has been specially worse indicating high rise in temperature as a result of global climate change.
This year, Average global temperatures at the start of June were the warmest ever recorded for the period, trouncing previous records by a “substantial margin”, the European Union’s climate monitoring unit said.
“The world has just experienced its warmest early June on record,” Samantha Burgess, deputy director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), said in a statement few days back.
As a matter of fact, Researchers at the EU’s Copernicus unit reported that the start of June saw global surface air temperatures rise 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels for the first time.
That is the threshold governments said they would try to stay within at a 2015 summit in Paris.
Data and statistics are worrying. According to the data, the daily global average temperature was at or above the 1.5 Celsius threshold between June 7-11, reaching a maximum of 1.69 Celsius above it on June 9.
It is a matter of grim concern that, Earth’s temperature has risen by an average of 0.14° Fahrenheit (0.08° Celsius) per decade since 1880, or about 2° F in total. The rate of warming since 1981 is more than twice as fast: 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade. The majority of the warming has occurred since 1975, at a rate of roughly 0.15 to 0.20°C per decade.
The rise temperatures which are reality of global climate change hint towards ugly days ahead for world population at large.
The annual observation of World Environment Day, which took place on June 5th, is a day intended to promote action for the preservation and conservation of the environment on our planet. The world gathered once more in 2023 to consider the health of our environment and talk about practical ideas to deal with the urgent issues we face.
World Environment Day 2023, with the theme “Taking Global Action for a Sustainable Future,” serves as an important reminder that the entire world community must work together to combat climate change, safeguard biodiversity, and work towards a greener and more sustainable future for all.
This year, World Environment Day focused on several key areas, including climate action, sustainable consumption and production, and the conservation of ecosystems. These areas are at the forefront of international discussions as we grapple with the consequences of human activity on the planet.
The impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent, with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and the loss of vital ecosystems. World Environment Day 2023 seeks to encourage individuals, communities, and governments worldwide to take decisive action in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, transitioning to renewable energy sources, and adopting sustainable practices in all aspects of life.
While talking to News Kashmir Magazine, the eminent expert Dr. Ayaz Mohmood Dar Founder & Director: Tehkeek International: An education and research Institute,Lecturer. Higher Education Department, Govt. of JK said that, “The reminder that the future of our world is in our hands comes in the form of World Environment Day 2023. Every person has a responsibility to protect the environment and create a sustainable future. We can guarantee a better, cleaner, and more durable planet for future generations by acting now”.
“Let’s take a moment to consider the great worth and beauty of our natural environment as we observe World Environment Day. Let’s work together to preserve and revitalise the environment while pursuing a peaceful coexistence of humans and nature. We can all benefit from our collective efforts to secure a sustainable future, he further stated.
Journalist Mir Sabeen Gulrez, through Dr Ayaz-on-Record answered questions like this,
Reporter :Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) shows that an estimated 4.2 to 7 million people die from air pollution worldwide every year. What’s the solution now what steps should we take to prevent that?
Dr Ayaz : It requires collective efforts from governments, communities, industries, and individuals to mitigate air pollution and prevent the millions of deaths caused by it each year. There are many steps that can be taken for mitigation, including Enhancing vehicle emissions standards, improvement in industrial emissions control, shifting to clean energy sources, International cooperation, and more importantly Supporting research and innovation.
Reporter : Do you acknowledge that climate change is real and poses an immediate threat to the environment and our health and safety? What specific goals and measures do you support for reducing U.S. carbon missions?
Dr Ayaz : Climate change is real and directly threatens the environment, health, and safety. To reduce carbon emissions, many measures can be taken which should include Carbon pricing, Electrification of transportation, and climate diplomacy.
Reporter : Do your congressional efforts align with the current administration to undermine the science that supports climate change research? Will you encourage federal (or state) agencies to restore scientific data about climate change to their websites to help educate citizens?
Dr Ayaz : Many administrations including the United States, recognize the need to address climate change and support climate science research. However, the scientific data about climate change on government websites to educate citizens is an important aspect for understanding the climate mechanics. The scientific information is very crucial for informed decision-making and public engagement on climate-related issues. The federal agencies should provide comprehensive information which will contribute to a well-informed society a research.
Reporter : What are your plans to support the accelerating adoption of solar and wind technologies? For example, would you support increasing research and development funds to advance renewable technologies?
Dr Ayaz : These are strategies that can be considered to support the accelerated adoption of solar and wind technologies. However, general strategies to support the accelerating adoption of solar and wind technologies will include increased research and development (R&D) funds, Education and trainings, and infrastructure development.
Reporter : Would you support tax credits to help businesses and consumers cover the costs of transitioning to solar and wind? Would you strive to ensure that renewable technologies become the top priority of state/national energy policy?
Dr Ayaz : “Yes”
Reporter : ’Will you support continuation of EPA’s ENERGY STAR program, which encourages appliance manufacturers to improve the energy efficiency of their products while providing consumers with tools that help them make energy-efficient choices?
Dr Ayaz : The EPA’s ENERGY STAR program’s future is determined by the relevant authorities responsible for energy efficiency standards and environmental programs, as well as various factors such as government policies, budget allocations, and public support. I cannot say anything about the decision-making process regarding the program’s continuation.
Reporter : What are your specific plans, including actions and timetables, for helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by a substantial amount, and how will you fund and implement them?
Dr Ayaz : Addressing climate change indeed necessitates a collaborative effort involving governments, businesses, communities, and individuals. The plans and actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions will vary across regions and countries due to their unique circumstances and available resources. Cooperation and coordination at local, national, and international levels are essential for effective implementation.
The specific plans, actions, timetables, funding, and implementation would depend on the policies and actions taken by governments, organization’s, and individuals. Further, funding for climate resilience is must which can come from a variety of sources, including government budgets, private investments, public-private partnerships, international climate funds, and carbon pricing mechanisms.
Climate Change is one of the serious issues facing humanity. In a ecologically fragile zone like Kashmir the climate change is also becoming a serious issue.
As a matter of fact, Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. Such shifts can be natural, due to changes in the sun’s activity or large volcanic eruptions. But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas.
Burning fossil fuels generates greenhouse gas emissions that act like a blanket wrapped around the Earth, trapping the sun’s heat and raising temperatures.
The main greenhouse gases that are causing climate change include carbon dioxide and methane. These come from using gasoline for driving a car or coal for heating a building, for example. Clearing land and cutting down forests can also release carbon dioxide. Agriculture, oil and gas operations are major sources of methane emissions. Energy, industry, transport, buildings, agriculture and land use are among the main sectors causing greenhouse gases.
On the other hand of the spectrum, Climate scientists have showed that humans are responsible for virtually all global heating over the last 200 years. Human activities like the ones mentioned above are causing greenhouse gases that are warming the world faster than at any time in at least the last two thousand years.
The average temperature of the Earth’s surface is now about 1.1°C warmer than it was in the late 1800s (before the industrial revolution) and warmer than at any time in the last 100,000 years. The last decade (2011-2020) was the warmest on record, and each of the last four decades has been warmer than any previous decade since 1850.
How the Spring season gave feel of winters this year and how less snow was witnessed this year in Kashmir is all but evident of worrying climate change.
Last year, it was revealed that
The average mean temperature in Jammu and Kashmir has increased in the last 28 years due to climate change, a senior official said last year . He said agriculture is the only sector that can help reduce poverty by raising incomes and food security for 80 per cent of the world’s poor populace.
“J&K is also witnessing the brunt of climate change and average mean temperature in last 28 years has climbed up by 2.32°C and 1.45°C in Jammu and Kashmir region, respectively,” Additional Chief Secretary (ACS) Atal Dulloo said after inaugurating a two-day international conference on “existing climate change scenario and its arising risks” here.
Also the expert pulse is that,
should prepare ourselves and our farmers to adapt to these weather changes so that they do not suffer on the economic front.
On the otherhand of spectrum, this year the
The quite fluid and unusualweather conditions in the Kashmir Valley have kept the residents and farmers on edge. As the May rains continue in June, when the locals were expecting an ideal sunny afternoon, the direct impact of climate change on the Himalayan region is keeping the growers anxious.
Farmers from several districts of the Valley are worried that the heavy, and untimely, rainfall along with hailstorms is also damaging the crops.
The climate change is undoubtedly a issue of serious nature for a place like Kashmir and we need to take steps to mitigate its impacts, otherwise sectors like agriculture would be badly hurt.
Blood donation is key part of saving lives on the planet.
The world Blood Donar Day provides an opportunity to call to action to governments and national health authorities to provide adequate resources and put into place systems to increase the collection of blood from voluntary, non-renumerated blood donors. Safe blood and blood products and their transfusion are significant aspects of care and public health. Every day, they save millions of lives and improve the health and quality of various patients.
World Blood Donor Day is observed on 14 June to mark the anniversary of Karl Landsteiner. It was first celebrated in 2004 to spread awareness about the need for regular blood donations and its requirement to save lives. On this day, Blood Donors donate blood themselves to save the lives whether of accident victims or those who are in need of blood transfusion for the surgeries.
The transfer of blood or components of blood from one person i.e. donor into the bloodstream of another person i.e. the recipient. It acts as a lifesaving operation to replace blood cells or blood products lost through bleeding or due to depression of the bone marrow.
As a matter of fact, in May 2005, WHO officially established with its 192 Member States, World Blood Donor Day at the 58th World Health Assembly in order to motivate all the countries worldwide to thank the blood donors for their precious step and saving lives of the people.
Objectives of celebrating World Blood Donor Day
– To provide a global platform to thank individuals who donate blood and to encourage those who have not yet donated.To raise awareness that blood donation action benefits society as a whole.
We should take pledge to donate blood on eve of world blood donor Day 2023 .
