آخر مسَلیہ ہے کیا؟

جھلسی ہوئ نعشیں، گولیوں سے چھلنی اجسام، تشدد زدہ طلباء اور پیاسی عوام، گرمی کے ستاےَ لوگ اور تاریکیوں میں ڈوبی شامیں، سڑکوں میں پھنسا ٹریفک اور در بدر پھرتے گداگر، بند نالے اور کھلی نالیاں، بارش کی دعایئں اور سیلاب کا خوف         کچروں اور وال چاکنگ سے سجی اہم  شاہراہیں، اور آسمان سے باتیں کرتی ہوئ اشیاےَ خوردونوش کی قیمتیں، بھوک اور   پیاس سے ستاےَ تھر کے لوگ اور ایوانوں میں شاھی کھانیں اور آم کی باتیں، بسوں میں بکتے غبارے و منجن اور 50 ہزار
       نوکریوں کے جھانسے، اندرونی سرمایہ کاریوں کا فقدان اور بیرونِ ملک آف شور کمپنیاں بے مثال، ہسپتالوں میں دھکے
                                         کھاتے عوام اور لنڈن میں وزارتِ عظماء کا پڑاوَ اور حواء کی بیٹی کا غیرت کے نام پر قتل ۔۔۔
  
یہ سب تو عام سی لکھنے تک کی باتیں لگتی ہیں۔
مگر آخر مسَلیہ ہے کیا؟ جسکو حل کیا جاےَ۔۔۔۔۔۔

A soul towards the sky, a high flyer: Umaid Ali Shah

"No matter the many paths you change, the matter is each path should lead you towards your vision"

"Life should be led with happiness."

"In Pakistan one has to be multi-talented"

These sayings are of the person who has been the symbol of hard work, perseverance, sincerity, multi talent and Jack of all trade Umaid Ali Shah. He is senior sales executive in AM developers and running his side business too. People consider him a successful person. How can this man not be called a successful person who sacrifices throughout his life showing his multi talent, steady attitude and working day and night for his family? His life justifies this complement for him "jack of all trade" because of working as versatile.

"I learned from the sufferings and sorrows of my life but I always smiled and still I smile." (Shah)

He was born on 4th Feb 1981 in Kandyaro, district Noshero Feroz, division Sukkar. He belonged to a poor family. They are five brothers and two sisters. That time his father was the sole bread winner for the whole family. His elder brother did not use to work because he was studying and he lived with his maternal grandfather. Shah has only one elder brother and rest are younger than him.

In 1996 while he was 15, he started earning bread as a teacher. He earned Rs.200 monthly. It was the time when his whole family banked on his father. He was number 2^ndin his family. Shah's family was suffering from hand to mouth. Shah could not see his family surviving. Therefore he intended to strive as much as he could reach the position where he can lead his family comfortably and happily. He had the wish that his younger siblings and he also get education. He left his teaching job after 6 months and got a job as QC in a cotton factory. But it was seasonal job that is why he had to find another job. In connection to this, in 1997 he went to Larkana and got a job as shop keeper in cosmetics shop. During this period he carried on his studies too. He had completed matric with A⁺grade and was the student of FSC in Pre medical. He worked in the shop after college hours and earned Rs.1200 monthly. It was very difficult for him to survive without family, carry on education, work and earn. But he was a symbol of perseverance.

21st Aug 1998 was the day when his father left him crying and thinking about his family. "After the death of my father I totally led my family. On his funeral I was consoling my family. I was not only in the grief of my father's death but also in tensions how to lead my family now." He further stated with the tearful eyes "After that incident we shifted totally in Larkana from Kandyaro. There I became the medical representative at Manrich Laboratory." While taking deep breath and drinking water he carried on saying, "I visited the doctors in the entire Larkana on foot because I needed to save every single penny. I had only 1 pent and two shirts that I used to wear them every other day."

According to him it has been our ancestors' history to work hard and achieve goals. In fact they had more woes and hindrances in their lives. He said that he got inspired by the "Shuhada-e-Karbala" who remained steadfast and sacrificed their lives on the right path.” He said that his life's theory is based on history of Karbala. This is what encouraged him to step forward.

In Oct.1999 after consistent hard work he got the fruit in the shape of a private job in "Bhutto state Fuel Station". This belonged to the Bhutto family. As a manager he performed his duties and earned a handsome amount of salary. Now his life took U turn and his family rose. His siblings and he started studies. He completed his B.S.C in 2003 and afterwards M.A in sociology in 2005. He continued this job as a manager by 2007 and then due to some problems had to leave. After that he took a bold decision and opened a fuel station on contract with the partnership of his two friends. But could not succeed and had to close it on no loss no profit in 2008. After that his life's struggle went on and he started his services at Parisson Inn Hotel by 2009. Where ever and whenever he got good opportunities he availed them.

He thinks "Unless luck and God are with us we cannot get through." But he explained that luck and God are always with the person who endeavors. Furthermore he started free lancing business for the fuel station. And once he worked for Total Company in 2009 in Karachi. Since that time he has been doing this business too. He has worked as Logistic Procurement Merchandiser too.

Now he has been performing his services as senior sales executive. And he has his side business too. By the grace of God and by his ceaseless hard work and efforts his both two sisters have got married and two brothers too. He has bought his own house like a palace for him in Larkana. Now still he is on the path where he wants to go for the best. As he says the dialogue of a film:

"میرے بارے میں اتنا مت سوچو، میں دل میں آتا ہوں سمجھ میں نہیں"

Now he is enjoying his life. He joins parties, goes visiting and likes being with other people. He listens songs too and is a bit interested in poetries.

He spent his life's 35 years for taking care and managing his family. Now he is happy with this. And now he is independent and very much satisfied but one is missing in his life. "I did not have time to think of my marriage. I focused on my vision. Now soon I am going to get married."

Finally he said a couplet from Parveen Shakir's:

اس شرط پہ کھیلونگی  پیا  پیار کی   بازی
جیتوں تو پاوْں تجھے، ہاروں تو میں تیری
