I was busy in my office, writing
a software program to predict the stock market future trend using the
historical data. The prediction problem is multifaceted and really hard, as the
trend depends on a number of factors rather than the historical data; for
example, on the news, blogs, social media campaign, and politics for example
the stock market gambler can intentionally turn the whole market upside down to
exploit some shares. The clock struck 12.00 noon, and to relax a bit, I opened
the BBC website and was shocked to read that:
“Malala
has been gunshot by unknown people in Swat region”. It was really disturbing---Malala YusufJai, a young 14-years old bright student and
activist, is considered as a national brilliance as she has earned international fame for raising voice against Taliban oppression in Swat. She became the voice of
all Swati girls by writing a diary in the BBC Web-site, famous for her pen name
“Gul Makai.”
Who is responsible for such a
brutal attack, I was baffled? After some time, the whole story starting to
emerge. Spokesperson of TTP (Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan) took the responsibility of
the attack. How brave it is to attack a young innocent child having an ideology
of Islam and patriotic of Pakistan. What a shame on those people—blind and
deaf, having their own
thought of belief with no ethics and code of honour---who are committing this
violence in the name of GOD and keep targeting our youth, destroying our schools
(mostly girls) in the name of conviction, and exploiting religion as both for
motivation and justification of terror.
Furthermore, not a few
hours has gone this incident happened; our corrupt politics started playing
poker game using the Malala card as Ace
of color. In the twitter some parties are pointing fingure towards Imran Kahn
and PTI for their anti-drone movement. Imran Khan successfully led the
anti-drone peace rally yesterday to stop the drone attacks on the northern
areas of Pakistan and on very next day the Malala shooting incident took place.
These events are so aligned that saying them a coincident will be unjust. And moreover, the
long-term legacy of these conflicts will continue, because everyone is just
striving for money, power, attention or political point
scoring and
the worst thing is that our daughters, sons, sisters, brothers are suffering.
There are tens to
hundreds of thousand post in Twitter with hash-tags #Malala and #TTP mostly posted by
Pakistani people who are suffering from grief over this incident. Being one of
them (as a current student and former teacher), my opinion is that, we neither want drone nor Taliban.
“Hats off to you
Malala, Allah bless you. This attack will only make you stronger and motivate
others to be like you. Indeed, the pen is
mightier than the sword!”
After spending enough
hours surrounding this news, I realized I have to go back to work to predict the
future trend of stock market. However, I found a strong correlation between
Pakistan’s and stock market’s undertakings: the trends continue emerging bluntly,
where multiple signals derive the output and it is not easy for a software
engineer to understand who is devising the output signal. To me, everything is
connected: both causes and consequences, and some powerful players are
transferring (the future trend of) Pakistan and making us to dance on their
tunes!
The whole point is, A can hire X to do some *work* for A, and in turn both will get some share. Being a powerful player, no body will know the actual source (A). The person X will be a puppet being exploited by A.....rest we are all wise to know who is X and who is A..... btw It is our history to be exploited!
