M. Ashraf
My full name is Muhammad Ashraf. Born and brought up in middle class of Sialkot city, I am University Graduate in Mathematics and English through famous Murray College Sialkot. In year 1959, I qualified for joining Survey of Pakistan, a government department for Surveying & Mapping, Astronomy, Geodesy and Arial Photography, where I qualified prescribed Surveying Courses. Life of accomplishment adventurous assignments thus started.
For a period of above 40 years, I kept busy in professional duties. I worked in various parts of Pakistan, where I lived and worked in most of the undulating, hilly and desert areas. For 4 years, 1979 to 1983, I worked in various parts of Iraq for the Government of Iraq. Eleven years of works as member of teams of European, Egyptian and American engineers, forms part of the total period.
During my travels, I happened to meet peoples of various areas. Visiting various areas and meeting people of variety of cultures, has been a highly valuable experience. I saw the areas where you can simply sit and see for hours with immense divine pleasure and satisfaction. I met and lived with people whom I can never forget. I experienced greedless sincerity and good will that forms permanent and ever fresh memory of my mind. "I shall never let this all go in vain — so help me GOD. Shortly, I am putting my book on process for publication which will bless all such people and scenes with eternal life".

(An account of journeys exclusively based on true picture of areas and the people there.

Judiciary and the State
Involving in open and public denunciations of the verdicts of the state’s judiciary is not only disrespect for the judiciary but also hatred against the state itself. It very clearly denotes the motto “Any decision against our wish and expectations is injustice”. There is every possibility that Pakistan is the only country where such groups […]

Rationalism and Fanaticism
Almighty’s instructions for mankind, through His Prophets, always accompany the pertinent limits. Trespassing Almighty’s prescribed limits in abiding by these instructions, for gaining ecstasy of sentiments, is called “Ishq” (In south Asian language), i.e. fanaticism. Verily fanaticism embowers no respect for Almighty’s instructions. Also fanaticism is not a state of healthy mind. A few examples […]
Thoughtful Citizens of Bharat Mata
During travels and stay abroad, I had a chance of exchanging views with citizen of Bharat. Majority of them pleaded for “Akhand Bharat”, to which no patriotic Pakistani will ever agree; but many of the arguments stated by them, give shocking food for thought for Pakistanis.

Ever Deteriorating Status of Pakistan Railways

Nucleus of Corruption in Declared Corrupt States of the World
It is not known whether of not Transparency International is conversant with the cause of corruption in a state, but there is only a single cause of that.
