Hey amazing hearts!
Hope world outside you is offering you so much to watch ,enjoy ,learn and adopt
And world inside you is ready to absorb ,sort out things to keep in or throw out something that might sow negativity within you
I believe that you all are wise enough to save which enlighten your inner world !
That light reflects in your thoughts and actions , and makes your existence a "blessing" for not only just yourself but all around you :)
Today sharing with you pics taken during our visit to Mr Jinnah's tomb in Karachi!
hope you will enjoy the glimpse of tomb of the greatest leader of our nation , you can learn more about the personality and his tomb through Wikipedia if you are interested ,here we go...
Nation called him Quaid eAzam which means great Leader ,he was layer who won the case of separate homeland for muslims of subcontinent in 1947
Park has very huge museum which displays belongings of our beloved leader
inside view of tomb is simply elegant
there is always squad of guards who look after the place ,people are allow to stay only for while to avoid crowd
due to walk bare feet we felt exhausted (shoes were not allowed in marbled area ) i felt sick because of tiredness as my feet were aching , Karachi 's temp was mild ,not cold like Khairpur (our city ) where we live
this building has the tomb of the mother of nation Miss Fatima Jinnah sister of Mr Jinnah ,she did not get married in her whole life for the sake of taking care of her younger brother mr jinnah
i zoomed to the marching squad in the park
in this image Mr Jinnah is with his first wife to whom he was married when he was in his teens
Visiting the huge park and substantial big museum made us quite tired as when we returned to the hotel we fall asleep for few hours .
We chose to visit this place as that day our son was engaged with his ex office friends at some restaurant .
I think this is enough for today dear friends!
Hope you will take great care of yourself and stay strong and positive in the battle of life !
Lots of love and best wishes for your precious lives:)
God Bless You All!!!
It looks like you had a great day. These are super pictures. I only know a little bit about your nation’s history. I know the basic details about the foundation of Pakistan and about Muhammad Ali Jinnah. I would love to learn more.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thank you dear Brain!
DeleteI am glad you liked the sharing
It is quite easy to know about any nation ' s history nowadays as internet offers almost everything
All we need is interestin the topic
Very beautiful tomb, museum and park in honour of the founder of your country!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful building! Incredible.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this magnificent tomb!
ReplyDeleteDear Debra, Sandi and Christine I am so happy that you found the tomb of our national hero as beautiful !
DeleteWonderful photos, Baili. Such an amazing place. There is so much to see there.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Connie !
DeleteI am glad you liked it my friend
The tomb of Quaied e Azam (Mr Jinnah) is exquisite ~ poetry in stone ~ and the lovely plaza surrounding it make the tomb's beauty more striking. I would love to see it at full moon because I think it would glow like a moonstone set in platinum.
ReplyDeleteI remember studying what we called "The Partitioning of India" in my senior year of high school. My father was my history teacher, and he was a fabulous teacher. The partitioning gave rise to the modern nations of India (Hindu) and Pakistan (Muslim). It displaced some 14 million people along religious lines and led to a period of violence and a refugee crisis. The number of people killed may have been as many as two million. The British Raj fell (which was not a bad thing). Sadly the events of that time have resulted in a legacy of mistrust and hostility between Pakistan and India. It is fortunate that you live in a country where you are immersed in your culture and religion which I know are the foundation of your life. I understand your pride in the father of your country. I'm glad that you missed the strife of that time.
If I had one wish for this world, it would be that religious conflicts, abuses and, dogma would cease. I'm thinking of the horrific things done in the name of Christianity over the last two millennia. I admire you, Baili, for sharing your faith and culture and for educating so many about both.
I suffer "viewing fatigue" more and more now, so I can appreciated your being tired and having aching feet after visiting Jinnah's tomb. I have arthritis in my feet, and I now wear lightweight hiking shoes or sneakers in the house on my doctor's orders. Marble, stone, and tile are hard on your feet.
I really appreciate the photos you shared. The beauty of the fragile, ephemeral flowers soften the enduring stone. We're just flowers blooming briefly on our incredible planet.
Wishing you a great day, Baili! Hugs to you.
I feel so Blessed to have you as my friend dear Louise!
DeleteYou amazed me always with your overwhelming power of knowledge which I am really proud of!
Thank you so much for understanding my feeling as a patriot though believe it or not I truly consider this whole globe even this whole universe my home where I want to fly about like a carefree butterfly winged by faith, Love and positivity !
Christian or Muslim Hindu or any other
I believe it's not just religion it is group of people in every nation that had misused power when got it in hands
And how bad that their nation has to feel ashamed for it.
In the history of world there are numerous examples where innocent people were killed for nothing but to save the advantages of group in power called POLITICIANS and businessmen .
Partition was obviously for reasons that we are still learning may be but as a citizen of free homeland I feel easy to move or think as compared to muslims who live in Kashmir for example. Horrible facts belong to this unfortunate piece of land make me shiver and cry sometimes .
I am sorry that you also suffer with feet ache !
The pain I got while walking there left in few days .I think shoes had to be removed so surrounding and building can be keep clean.
Yes tomb has powerful light system which illuminate it in night so elegantly.
Hugs back to you too my dear friend!
What an amazing memorial you have shown in this post, Baili. While I can understand why shoes had to be removed walking on the beautiful marble, i wondered what would happen in very hot weather. Also I was curious as to the number of people allowed in each time as you said it was a limited number.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Beatrice!
DeleteAs I said it is most visited place in Karachi.
It was our first visit so I don't know what happens in very hot weather as your question has put me into thought also.
There is no fixed number of people allowed at once
Just few people who get near are allowed as they can hardly stand for few moments and asked by guard to leave the space for others
Dear Baili, thank you so much for sharing this magnificent building with us and the history of your great leader. I learned so much and I so enjoy learning about history. I hope your feet felt better once you rested them! Peace.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Dee!
DeleteI always try my best to keep all you close not only to my heart but to my homeland and culture
Yes my feet are fine now , thanks for concern my friend
The building an surroundings make an impressive tribute to your leader. I enjoyed seeing it.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely right dear Emma !
DeleteGarden around the tomb provid natural beauty and tranquil environment to the visitors
They not only enjoy the tomb and belonging museum visit but they sit and talk about their great leader which is so nice
That's a massive memorial!
ReplyDeleteOne of it's own kind dear Red!

ReplyDeleteSo glad that you you did dear Sandy!

So true as it is captivating
That is such a lovely building and plus the inside is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are pretty.
Thank you dear Margaret!
DeleteIt was beautiful outside and inside both equally though in different ways

ReplyDeleteA lovely post, thank you for sharing this magnificent building with us and the history too. I can imagine it must have been tiring but so worth-while and very interesting.

All the best Jan
Thank you dear Jan and Kathy for liking my sharing!
DeleteWow! What a beautiful place to visit. I really enjoy the photos and information that you share. It helps me learn more and more about where you live!
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Martha!
DeleteI will keep sharing more about my country and its belongings
What a beautiful place; I am especially struck by the beautiful marble flooring outside as well as inside. We could never have such a flooring here, open to the weather, as the cold would ruin it.
ReplyDeleteI can understand why you were so tired; that is a huge place with so much to see. I noticed in one of your recent posts that you mentioned very briefly that you were still not feeling completely well. Do take care of yourself.
Thank you dear Jenny for warm healing words!
DeleteTo be honest I nevr been well physically .
My haemoglobin still lacks red sell to quite extent as they only to 7 points instead of 14 which is normal.
Other multiple health issues such as stomach infection which has not healed completely yet though i am taking medicine since more than 10 years
Throat problem is almost gone though to avoid bleeding I have to strictly stay away from fried food
Joint pain which you call arthritis is also under cure
So life is beautiful battle for me against all the negativity that brings such poor health conditions :)))
Wish me luck to be a proud humble winner my precious friend!
Thank you so much for concern dear Jenny!
What a beautiful day you've had, my friend, visiting such an interesting place. Thank you for sharing the history.
