So true. Linking a video on Facebook doesn’t make you a philanthropist. Liking a video on YouTube doesn’t make you an activist.

Afghanistan in the 1950’s and 1960’s : Paghman “City of Gardens”
“The Afghanistan that my parents lived in, were Kabul was once called the Paris of central Asia. Once the jewel of Asia, a very progressive and moderately modern country. Kabul once had, cinemas, cafes, formal French gardens, schools, libraries, universities, fine boutiques. Where both women and men had access to education and a better future.
A country were women were granted the right to vote in 1963! In many of these pictures is not the clothing nor the style of their clothing that make the women then “liberated” but the fact that those women were able to choose and decipher for themselves what they thought was appropriate to wear.
The very fact that they were in a class room to further their education, is what I am proud of most. In Islam, education it is not only stressed but is an obligation, for both women and men. Women are not only our other half of society but they are our mothers, sisters, aunts, and perhaps most importantly our first teachers.True liberation is only possible through education.
How is it possible that Kabul went from these photos to the mess that is Kabul and Afghanistan today? I would never blame Islam. I blame lack of education and foreign interference, Afghanistan being a product of the cold war paid the heaviest price. The Afghanistan that once existed, was the Afghanistan my family experienced. They were highly educated, modern, progressive and cosmopolitan people. My mom and her sisters attended primary school, high school and attended university. Classmates wore mini-jupes, went to the cinemas, went to sporting events, shopped at boutiques, and picnicked at Paghman the city of gardens every Friday near the formal french gardens. Highly educated, culturally aware and yet religious at the same time, there was never an issue with not having your hair covered or the clothes you wore.
Some have described my parents Afghanistan as very “western”, but I don’t choose to call it that, I describe it as a highly modern and progressive society that flourished. Freedom, equality, and education are not western but in fact universal themes. This progressive peaceful society lasted until foreign interference occurred in the late 1970’s plummeting the country to what Afghanistan has become today.”Hai Bhagwan…kya baath hai.
Bad ideas spread like wildfire :( I hope I live to see Kabul return to what it once was.

Some thoughts on the last Glee episode (yes, I just got a chance to watch it - SHUTTUP)
1) The slap. Woah, Quinn. First time I felt (some) sympathy for Rachel.
2) The punch. Finn seems to be suffering from PMS.
3) Kurt as Prom Queen :( :( Why are people so mean?
4) Blaine. (Not feeling very sorry for Kurt anymore)
5) Jesse. I think he’s the best male singer on the show. Great to have him back.
6) Friday. People are getting really pissed off at the show for covering this joke of a song. I think it was great they did it. Friday and Rebecca Black have become a huge part of the present teen culture. Ofcourse, the song is famous for all the wrong reasons but that doesn’t change the fact that it is one of the most talked about songs these days. And I’m glad Glee covered it.
She seems to be a real hit with the blokes.Picadilly Circus, London, 1968.
