Mohsin Kamal, the Cricket Romeo

MOHSIN KAMAL In this part of the world, whenever the word, “sport” is uttered, we either think of ‘kids’ or ‘fun’. The term sports is considered as a fun element for kids here, while in rest of the world, sport(s) is running parallel with education. When the concept of ‘sport(s)’ emerged, it firstly meant, “an interesting exercise to keep people fit both physically and mentally,” which, however, is no more same. Yes, there is no denying in the fact that playing sport is still the best way to remain fit but now, it has extended to the level of a ‘profession’ as well. Yet, there still are places like ours which haven’t taken up this extension. Keeping sports restricted to a pass time is one of the major reasons that Jammu and Kashmir hasn’t been able to produce enough sports stars. In spite of hurdles barricades, various sportspersons from Jammu and Kashmir have made it to the highest level, which indicates the presence of talent in the state. Most of this talent, though, go...

Added on March 13, 2018 By: MOHSIN KAMAL Education doubtlessly is growing at an astonishing pace all over the world. Whether it be the addition of technologies or introduction of new initiatives, education system surely is taking more stabling shape every new day. Likewise our homeland, Kashmir too has witnessed plenty of changes in education system over the years. No doubt about the growth and development taking shape, but at the same time when we look at the other negative aspects, one mostly forgets the positives. These other aspects include one of the most popular activity, which I would rather call a trend known as ‘tuitions’. What it actually means? The dictionary meaning of tuitions is, “gathering of knowledge from a guide”, but its connotation is lot different in Kashmir. Here, it means, “a necessary exercise without which a student can do nothing in any academic or competitive examination.” It may sound bit awkward but it is the bitter truth. It’s exactl...

Mohsin Kamal  Ayoung boy when grows up a little, first aims to settle his life by finding some good work according to his desires. After successfully finding one, he then want to enter second half of his life by bonding himself with his life partner. After entering the second half, a boy turns into a man and sooner a father. Becoming father takes a turn over in his life, now he performs everything for his children. He puts his own dreams on the shoulders of his children and wants them to succeed in life. So that he can live the last stage (old age) of his life happily and leave the world with satisfaction. This is how most of us want the life to run as. But everybody can’t be so lucky or I may say deserving to live the life according to his desires. I,in my everyday life come across a lot of things- some good and some bad. Recently I witnessed a series of strange events; A father who works his blood out- day, night, morning, evening just to make life comfortable ...

  Mohsin Kamal   February 13, 2017 "Fashion, technology and fun are the things which define modern age youth.” Spending most of the time on social networking sites, talking for long hours over phone, wear latest fashions are the few things which modern day teens do in their daily life. A kid is said to be a teenager when he/she reaches to the age of 12 or 13. This period though lasts for just 6 or 7 years but is considered as the most crucial period of one’s life. During this time a kid grows both physically and mentally. A complete change occurs in him/her. In past times, teenagers usually had just few things in their minds. They mostly spent their time either in studying or playing different games. But perhaps modern day teens do neither of these. They are completely different, a huge change has occurred in them. First of all modern day teens get a mobile phone in a very small age and how they use it, everybody knows. A...

While whole world is enjoying the fruits of education, Kashmiri students are thirsting to even see their books. Education is the process of facilitating learning, knowledge, skills, values, briefs and habits. It is the most important and must thing for human. Education makes a standing body good enough to be called a human. Education is life. Where there is no education there is no life. While the ongoing Kashmir “unrest” entered into the fourth month last week, educational institutes too are remained close since July. Numbers are not enough to describe...
