‘Remembering a robbery back in 2011’
I was robbed in Karachi back in 2011 at the
Eid-ul-Fitar Chand Raat alongside my uncle while returning from EID
shopping...They looted us at the gun point...This was my first such
experience...When I look back, I re-call many small things and when try to sort
out reasons behind them , I feel pity!
We had a happy round of shopping from the United
King Bakery in Gulistan-e-Jauhar purchasing cakes and Nimko for the EID’s first
day. We were coming back in a car which my uncle was driving. We were doing all
sorts of Intellectual discussions which ranged from local situation up to the
world politics. In the row of discussion, we were not very conscious of things
happening around. Then, when we took a turn from Korangi Industrial area and
suddenly we saw a motorcyclist knocking at the window glass shouting something
loudly. My uncle tried to conceive what’s going on and a flash came in my mind
that these are snatchers. I shouted at uncle to stop the car immediately ‘Gari
rok dain, Lutairay agaye hai’.
We were stopped at a very SUNSAAN
PLACE and during the stopping process, I asked
my uncle to solely Co-Operate with them in each regard and not try to cope them...It
was a Gang of 6 Guys on 3 motorbikes. We surrendered and they shouted JALDI JALDI CASH NIKAL...Uncle raised
his hands asked them to take whatever they can find and lost his mobile along
with cash...Since I am an obedient kid right from childhood, So I straightaway
took out my purse(since they were emphasizing on cash only) and handed over to
that guy who came to my side and said ‘BHAI
SARA CASH IS WALLET MAI HAI’...worthy to mention, my Gulf sim was also in that
wallet (So, In that sudden imagination, I was having a full
KHUARI while re-purchasing Qatar sim coming back in Qatar)...But that guy was
so generous that he took his full time to take out cash and returned my wallet
after taking all the money...”HATS OFF MATE,
meri khuari bach gayeee”...Believe it or not my Nokia E-72 remained in
between my legs and was saved amazingly...My Obedient nature paid me, I handed
over only what they demanded while uncle lost everything he had, trying to be Hoshiyar
with them...Gals and Guys, learn with this thing for YOUR TURN…
Snatcher’s Generosity,
Some Observations
While in all previous instances of people being
looted, they often say YAAR RAQAM TU PHIR AJAYE GI, WOH MERI SIM TOU DE JATA,
YA WO MERA NIC/CARD TOU DE JAATA...Dacuu's have considered this behavior as we
see in my case, the Gentleman returned my Wallet without demand and save me from queuing
at sim counters and many visiting cards also were secured...
The other thing I noticed, at they Snatching
time, the blood was all over their minds and they could trigger the button
anytime during robbery...I think they were very young DAKUU'S coz they seems to
be pretending this act and their voice was not complementing their actions. In
fact they were fearful of counter attack...Thanks GOD they did not trigger!
In the end, they pulled out the Car keys and
throwed it nearby...Uncle shouted O BHAI,
CHAABI TOU DETA JA...Believe it or not, they stopped instantly and pointed
out the place where they throwed the key...Well those thieves had ethics mate!
Reasons
behind Snatching/Looting
Those Guys were aged around mid 20’s and must be compelled
to do this job under certain pressures...I do not know whether they were able
to take our snatched items or they were shot somewhere in the way...Such people
mostly are driven due to social Injustice, lack of Merit/Opportunities, some
political backing and Hunger...Or sometimes just for FUN...Whatever reason
maybe, thorough re-thinking is required from all corners of society. As the
time passes, we are indeed falling into deep crap...A society in which certain people
take their own share of SADAQA'S forcefully from your pocket...
In Pakistan,
different jobs are categorized based on pay scale and Glamour. Everybody wants
to get a suited booted high pay job. If an educated person does not get some
work, he also intends to do such things and is shy/shameful to work like
working on petrol pump or in some restaurant. This is mainly because such
professions are not regarded in our society and does not carry much respect. Why
can not we realize that No work is Big OR small, the real thing is how you do any work…May we realize this
sooner rather than later…
Message to
Short Cut Guys
“Waqt-e-Dua hai...ajeeb waqt kuch hum pe
para hai...Mazloom hee loot raha hai aur Mazloom hee lutt hai...” Distinctions
are vanishing with time...Change in mental approach is required; government surely
will not come foreword and seriously resolve these issues. People who are blessed
also have greater responsibility to be aware of fellows struggling around. For
people involved in such snatchings, “there are many other ways of earning/getting
money and improving our economic condition rather than being involved in easy
money which may have adverse impacts on lives of other people…Looting/shooting
somebody might be a way of income for you, but it may sometime become life denting
for somebody else”…
Above
feeling is Dedicated To: All young snatchers/looters “Rather becoming a black spot to society, you must take lessons from
our hard working labor earning Rizq-e-Halal who work day long but return to
their homes with eternal satisfaction and pride”
