Pakistan Defence th Day
6
SEPTEMBER
In memory of supreme sacrifices
I
n memory of their supreme sacrifices, Defence Day of Pakistan is celebrated with great favour on every 6th September. Special functions are held and wreaths are laid on the graves of Shaheeds who were awarded highest gallantry awards. Chivalries of Ghazis are recalled and prayers are offered for all those who sacrificed their lives for our prosperous tomorrow. Here I would discuss some history regarding to independence of Pakistan and the circumstances which leads towards independence, when the British after establishing strong foothold in Bengal in 1757 gradually overpowered
India, Brahmans hastened to get aligned with the new masters and both worked hand-in-glove to bring down the fortunes of the Muslims. In a matter of fifty years, Muslims were reduced from lords to serfs and the Hindus emerged as the new elite class. Muhammad Ali Jinnah after assessing that inflexible ruling Congress was unprepared to grant basic constitutional rights to the Muslims, the single largest community in India, and were treating them as second rated citizens, he united the Muslims under the banner of All India Muslim League in 1937. Lahore resolution on March 23, 1940 set the stage for making of Pakistan and from that time onwards there was no looking back.The whole country resounded with the slogans of 'Pakistan ka matlab kia, laillaha-illallah'.

Hindu leaders in connivance with the then Viceroy Lord Mountbatten tried their best to dissuade Quaid-e-Azam from his goal of making Pakistan but failed because of his unwavering will and steadfastness. Pakistan came on the map of the world on August 14, 1947 after rendering huge sacrifices. Partition of the Subcontinent and consequent creation of Pakistan was yet another event that widened the gulf between the two nations and properly put India on the path to unending animosity and antagonism apropos Pakistan. on 6th September and unleashed an undeclared war against Pakistan. It was an all out war both in territorial expanse and the mass of resources. Everything was committed to annihilate Pakistan once and for all but Pakistan armed forces frustrated their designs. Courage and valor demonstrated by the brave hearts for the defence of motherland against extremely heavy odds are unparalleled. Pak Army had held its ground and repulsed multi-pronged offensives while the PAF crippled Indian air force. Indian
air force had 5:1 air superiority over PAF but at the outset all forward Indian airbases were successfully struck by PAF. Pakistani pilots were matchless in air-toair combat. Squadron Leader MM Alam single-handed shot down six Indian intruding jets. Pak Navy didn't lag behind and added a feather in her cap by launching Operation Somnath and destroying Indian naval important surveillance centre at Dwarka. Lone Ghazi submarine kept the Indian Navy terrified and bottled up. The entire world was stunned over the success attained by Pakistan as a nation. Pakistan's military victory over India in the war of 1965 was acknowledged from all pertinent quarters including independent international observers. India, said the London Daily Times,“India is being soundly beaten by a nation which is outnumbered by four and a half to one in population and three to one in size of armed forces”. Louis Karrar wrote in Times, “Who can defeat a nation which knows how to play hide and seek with death”?

TECHNOLOGY
TEETH THAT CAN THINK super thin tooth sensor that sends an alert when it detects bacteria associated with plaque build up, cavities or infection
S
cientists at Princeton and Tufts are working on a super thin tooth sensor (a kind of temporary tattoo) that sends an alert when it detects bacteria associated with plaque build up, cavities or infection. It could also notify your dentist, adding an extra layer of social pressure to make an appointment. The sensor may have wide-ranging use: the researchers have already used it to identify bacteria in saliva associated with stomach ulcers and cancers. While the sensor won't last long on the surface of a wellbrushed and flossed tooth, Michael McAlpine, the project's leader, says that the sensors will be inexpensive enough that you can replace them daily.

A
team of Dutch and Italian researchers has found that the way you move your phone to your ear while answering a call is as distinct as a fingerprint.You take it up at a speed and angle that's almost impossible for others to replicate. Which makes it a more reliable password than anything you'd come up with yourself. The most common iPhone password is “1234�. Down the line, simple movements, like the way you shift in your chair, might also replace passwords on your computer. It could also be the master key to the seven million passwords you set up all over the Internet but keep forgetting.

TRAVEL & TOURISM
LARRY FOGG TRIP TO BUDAPEST DOWNTOWN AREA BEAUTIFUL AT NIGHT, AND THE VIEW OF
BUDA SIDE OF THE DANUBE RIVER THE
WAS SUPERB I arrived at the Budapest International Airport during the afternoon of Friday, February 20and realized that nobody checked my passport upon entering Hungary since Hungary is now part of the European Union. While in the arrivals area of the airport terminal, I looked for an ATM to obtain some Hungarian Forinths but none was readily visible. I found information counter and a lady informed me that the ATM was located in the far right corner of the terminal. I wandered toward the corner as she had directed me and as I arrived there I noticed a small
49
area virtually out of sight from most of the arrivals terminal where an ATM was situated. I obtained my Hungarian Forinths and then set about to try to find out how to take the public transportation to my hotel in Budapest. I went to a tourist information counter and a very helpful young man gave me a map, a tourist book in English, a n d p r i n t e d instructions on how to take Bus 200E from the airport to the M3 subway station. He was just getting off work and escorted me to the bus stop where he helped me purchase my ticket from the vending machine and showed me where to meet the bus. I always appreciate receiving extraordinary help from friendly people when visiting other countries.
finally located the desk where I could purchase the three day public transportation ticket. The lady validated my 3-day ticket and I was now good to travel anywhere in Budapest for the

duration of my weekend visit.As I entered the M3 subway car, I realized that it was probably Eastern European made during the occupation of Hungary by the Soviet Union – it was a very basic subway car. My first stop would be the interchange terminal at Deak Ter (Deak Square) where I would transfer to the M1 subway. I finally made my way to the M1 subway and continued to the Kodaly Korond station which was a couple of blocks from my hotel. The M1 subway cars were more luxurious than the M2 and M3 subway cars.The M1 subway was actually the first underground railroad to be constructed in continental Europe and all of the M1 subway stations have been maintained and preserved in their 130-year-old original designs – what a treat to be able to journey on the M1 subway! My hotel was close to the subway and the reception personnel were marvellous. They recommended a small Hungarian restaurant nearby and also suggested the downtown area in the vicinity of Vaci Utca (Vaci Street) as a place
51
to walk around that evening. As fate would have it, snow flurries began as I departed the hotel and the small local restaurant was packed with no room for me. I walked to the subway and went downtown to explore the Vaci Utca neighbourhood. The downtown area was beautiful at night, and the view of the Buda side of the Danube River was superb. There are many street scene statues all around the city of Budapest and I thoroughly enjoyed coming upon them as I walked around Budapest. After my exploratory walk in the continuing snow flurries and a fast food sandwich, I returned to my hotel for the evening. The snow had stopped by morning and I took the M2 subway to the Moszkva Ter

I explored the castle complex and visited the Budapest Histor y Museum before riding the funicular to Clark Ter at the bottom the hill at the entrance to the Chain Bridge. I walked across the Chain Bridge and then north along the west bank of the Danube toward P a r l i a m e n t . B e fo re arriving at Parliament, I arrived at the monument erected in memory of the people that had been lined up along the river and then been killed by archers using crossbows during 1944-45.

The monument consisted of two plaques in the sidewalk and sculptures of empty shoes along the concrete edge overlooking the Danube – a very s o m b r e monument overlooking the Danube – a ver y sombre monument. This monument was erected in April 2005 and did not show up in any of the Budapest tourist literature in my possession. I continued north along the Danube and then walked around the Parliament building. The Parliament architecture is beautiful as were the surrounding grounds and statues.

my way back to the subway station and then continued onward to downtown. I walked around the downtown area for about an hour and then returned to my hotel to plan my activities for the next day. I had hoped to be able to visit the Memento Park (Statue Park) situated on the outskirts of Budapest but realized that I would not have time
during my weekend visit. This park displays mementoes of the communist era and is adver tised as “a powerful reminder of the fall of tyranny.” The park presents “a collection of public statues and memorials that were removed from the streets of Budapest after the collapse of socialism in 1989-90.” I am looking forward to visiting the park on a return visit to
Sunday morning was another picture perfect morning and I returned to the Dohany Street Synagogue. It is the largest functioning synagogue in Europe and is described as the most beautiful in the world – it is the second largest in the world with the synagogue in New York City being the largest. The Dohany Street synagogue was constructed between 1854 and 1859. The construction of the synagogue is a unique oriental form with two slender minaret-like towers topped by onion domes and the interior somewhat resembles that of a Christian church. The synagogue has seating for 1,500 men on the ground floor and seating for 1,500 women in the galleries. There is an organ and choir installed above the ark and a Christian person is required to be
57
hired to play the organ during the Jewish services. Because the Nazis placed a radio communications center in one of the minaret-like towers, the synagogue was heavily bombed during World War 2 (WW2). The restoration of the synagogue was not possible during the occupation of Hungary by the Soviet Union, and the restoration of the synagogue was only recently completed. In addition, the synagogue houses a Jewish Museum; a mass burial graveyard from the ghetto days of WW2; a stainless steel tree sculpture with the names of missing Jews who were deported during WW2 and never returned; and a monument to Raoul Wallenberg and other people who helped to protect Jews during WW2.
After departing the synagogue, I explored Raday Utca which is reportedly one of the trendy streets for dining and nightlife in Budapest – it was mostly deserted on Sunday afternoon but I would like to explore it on a return trip to Budapest. I continued on by taking the subway to the City Park and Heroes' Square. The City Park is adjacent to Heroes' Square and
contains the zoo, an amusement park, several museums, a lake, and open spaces. I walked through a small part of City Park and a d m i r e d t h e architecture and watched as a large number of people were ice skating on a frozen outdoor skating area to music that was being played through loud speakers. I entered Heroes' Square and was amazed by the
58
monuments and the statues in the square – truly a sight not to be missed when visiting Budapest. Since it was late in the afternoon, I went back to the Opera House and walked along a c o u p l e o f s t re e t s n e a r b y t h a t we re described in the tourist literature as having trendy restaurants before returning to my hotel.After a short nap, I decided to try the restaurant a few doors down from the hotel for dinner. I had the soup of the day which was quite tasty, the paprika beef with roast potatoes, and a cup of cappuccino for dessert – my last meal in Budapest. I set a very early wakeu p a l a r m fo r t h e following morning. It had begun snowing during the night and as I departed the hotel around 5:15 a.m., the snow on the sidewalks was nearly two inches
deep. Fortunately I did not have far to carry my luggage to the now very familiar M1 subway station where I began my journey to the airport. After taking the M3 subway to the end of the line, I finally located the Bus 200E stop with the help of a nice Hungarian woman and continued onward to the airport. After checking in, I continued to the Lufthansa lounge where I ate some snacks for breakfast and waited for my flights to Frankfurt and home. The snow continued to fall the entire time that I was at the airport and I reflected on just how fortunate I had been to have gotten two picture perfect days for my winter weekend in Budapest.

Pakistan Won Against India For many years lack of sponsorship and funding meant that the competition was not possible.

English company planned a tournament between the Indian and Pakistan football teams in 2011 and one in 2013, but this failed due to lack of sponsorship.
