Project Artemis, Rebuilding the Women of Afghanistan

In war-torn Afghanistan , much besides buildings and infrastructure has crumbled. The economy has seen ruin, and the lives of individuals, particularly women, has been harsh. But in 2005 an ingenious program by Thunderbird School of Global Management began taking steps to help Afghanis rebuild Afghanistan - one woman at a time.

Project Artemis is a two-week intensive business-training course that takes place on the school's main campus in Glendale , AZ , USA . Thirty women from Afghanistan have been chosen as Fellows in the program. They're brought to campus, given classes, individual instruction, and coaching in writing business plans. Tours of local companies are arranged so that the women can see a real business in action, and be given an opportunity to ask questions. They are also paired up with a Western female entrepreneur who promises to mentor them for at least two years.

During their time on campus, they develop a business plan, and on their own initiative, they've also created an Artemis business association so that they can still rely on the network they create while in Glendale . Through their mentors, all of whom have MBA degrees from Thunderbird, they have developed business contacts the world over. And through hard work and canny business skills, they have developed enormously successful and socially conscious companies in Afghanistan

Kandahar Afghanistan History Geography | Qandahar Afghanistan Latest Photos Pics HQ Wallpaper

Kandahār or Qandahār (Pashto/Persian: کندهار or قندهار, Ancient Greek: Αλεξάνδρεια αραχνοειδής Transliteration: Alexandria Arachosia) is the second largest city in Afghanistan, with a population of about 468,200 as of 2006. It is the capital of Kandahar province, located in the south of the country at about 1,005 m (3,297 feet) above sea level. The Arghandab River runs along the west of the city.

Kandahar is a major trading center for sheep, wool, cotton, silk, felt, food grains, fresh and dried fruit, and tobacco. The region produces fine fruits, especially pomegranates and grapes, and the city has plants for canning, drying, and packing fruit. Kandahar has an international airport and extensive road links with Farah and Herat to the west, Ghazni and Kabul to the northeast, Tareen Kot to the north, and Quetta in Pakistan to the south.

Many empires have long fought over the city, due to its strategic location along the trade routes of Southern and Central Asia. In 1709, Mirwais Hotak made the region an independent kingdom and turned Kandahar into the capital of the Hotaki dynasty. In 1747, Ahmad Shah Durrani, founder of the Afghan Empire, made it the capital of modern Afghanistan. From 1996 to 2001, Kandahar served as the capital of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Since 2002, the city is slowly being rebuilt.

India vs Afghanistan Live Streaming ICC T20 World Cup

ndia vs Afghanistan Live Streaming,Afghanistan vs India Live Streaming,India vs Afghanistan

Match no.: 3, Group C

India: One of the Favorites to win this world cup. It should be an easy task for them to win this match and starts their campaign on the winning note. It could be a practice match for them but the men in blue shouldn't be complainant against the minnows. Though the IPL has taken the toll out of them, if they just play upto their potential then they could easily win the match. Yuvi's form is a cause of concern. The team would be hoping him to repeat the form of 2007 wc. Should be one sided match for them.

Afghanistan: A team whose members are from refugee camps, who have grown up in a war Zone and who will try to bring in new zeal and excitement to the rather dull T20 World cup. It has been a dream run for Afghanistan who narrowly missed the bus to World Cup and came into T20 to stir things a little. Cricket being followed by the countrymen pretty well, Afghanistan Captain says that the match is more than just being about the result as they do not have anything to lose. Afghanistan has surprsd everyone beng th elading assocates team and are ready to surprise India Cricket team as well. Nothing to lose for them.

Players to watch out for

M Vijay: This could be his debut match for India. A very clean hitter and never tried any ugly shot even though he was playing T-20 games. Huge hit of this year IPL and 127 runs against the Royals has fetched him a place in the Indian team over the likes of Uthappa, Tiwary and Raydu. A good start here could cement his place in all the matches of the WC, otherwise, team India would shuffle too many players at the top. Its not easy to fill the place of Sehwag. Big test ahead him.

Karim Sadiq: They call him "Sehwag of Kabul". He is the batsman to watch out for. The only other one to hit a double century while chasing mammoth 494 against Canada, he is going to be all out to prove himself.

Rahman Baba Pashto Great Poetry/Shayari Best Ghazal in Picture

Pashto Language Great Poet AFZAL SHAUQ POET OF LOVE, LIFE, HUMANITY / Ayaz Daudzai

One of their active and productive pals, Afzal Shauq , is anxious to tread that unbeaten path, in the domain of 21st century Pashto literature. He has acquired considerable grasp of the new trends and critical discourses on the Post-Modernism in the Western literature. Well educated and widely traveled in the countries of the east and west, he has closely studied the culture and the way of life of the countries he has visited. He has keenly observed the goings on and life style of the countries, having been the centres of the ancient civilization and culture such as, Egypt, Rome, London and Paris. In his travels, Afzal shauq , was fully equipped electronic gadgets of photography and audio cassettes recording. Besides visiting places of historical interest, literary institutions  and cultural centres, he had rounds of busy bazaars, markets and parks, capturing and  preserving landscapes and sound images, besides recording interviews and chatting with men and women in the streets and institutions.

Based on this pictorial and sonic material, he compiled three creatively conceived and inspiringly portrayed travelogues published in beautifully printed books. He has given frank and thought provoking accounts of what he had seen and heard, in well-written prose, interspersed with poetic pieces, composed  on various occasions during his journey. He has also published two collections of his poetry, mostly consisting of prose poems. Another of his prose books is an experimental biographical novel of great literary merit. This novel is written in the perspective of Pharaoh’s era of Egypt, which merges ancient past with the present day space age.

The lead lady character is an Egyptian beauty (Shauq’s wife) and hero of the book is Shauq himself, with fictitious name Sailaney ( the traveler) .  The heroin has been modeled after the enchanting queen of Egypt of yore, Cleopatra, whose enticing charm has been immortalized by Shakespeare, saying, her infinite variety can be withered by age, nor staled by custom.

Afzal Shauq is lucky enough as 333 of his selected prose poems have been translated to English by a gifted American damsel, Alley Boling, an intellectual, scientist, philosopher and a marvelous muse. A perfectionist, she devoted two long years of her precious multi – task carrier in Georgia, USA, to render into English verse Shauq’s poems, published under the title, TWIST OF FATES. She plans to publish the book in the United States, too. If effectively promoted through media and book – launching functions, it is quite possible that the book will hit the best sellers list in that country.

I feel that the plot of Shauq’s novel may have been inspired by his poem, published in the TWIST OF FATES. Here are relevant lines from the poem, titled “ Global Sign” ( dedicated to Dr. Ouahiba Sakani Afzal, dearest life partner of Afzal Shauq) , He says;

                Daughter of Pharaoh

                Queen of Egypt

For love’s sake

Places her Crown

At the feet

Of Pashtun Caesar,

The dominant themes of Afzal Shauq’s poetry, as published in the TWIST OF FATES, are love, life and humanity, which though amply dealt with in world literature, yet Shauq gives new meanings and dimensions to these ideas. He has written unique poems in starting, simple but evocative  style, which at the same time are shocking, shaking, dazzling, amazing and soothing. He presents love as enriching, ennobling life and cementing humanity. Besides poetry, almost half the world’s philosophy is devoted to these three elements: “ Man is born free and has to live freely, without social taboos and restrictions and oppressive legal systems.

Mankind is the descendant of a single diving couple, Adam and Eve, and must live like brothers all over the globe, turning it into a paradise, lost by their heavenly ancestors. Equality, justice, and universal peace are yearning passion of Shauq. He abhors the idea of a global village …. Which is a codename for the enslavement of human being to be fettered by the exploitation might of market economy and technological superiority.

The most perplexing problem facing MAN today is, how to actualize the diction;

                “ Live and let Live”

As Robert Browning says,

                So free we seem

                So fettered fast we are.

Shakespeare in Hamlet observes;

       For who would bear whips and scorns of time,

       The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,

       The pangs of disprized love, the law’s delay,

       The insolence of office and the spurns,

       _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

                The grunt and sweat

                Under the weary life.

William Black says,

                Life delights in  “ Life”.

A French anonymous song hits the bull’s – eye;

                It’s love that

                Makes the world

                Go round.

Bertrand Russell philosophizes:

                Broadly speaking, we are in the

                Middle of a race between human

                Skill as the “ means ” and

                Human folly as the  “ end “.

Shauq upholds the enlightened Zoroaster’s teaching, as propounded in the scripture - - Zhand – Avesta, about light and darkness. Light, he says, signifies the Good and darkness, the Evil. Both are at ceaseless war, against each other since time immemorial. It is the light, which will ultimately triumph. Zoroaster preached that Ormazd is the Lord of goodness, Light and Creator of mankind. He identified the deity of darkness and evil, as Ahriman. In Persian language and literature, Ahriman still stands for Satan, while Ormazd has been turned into Yazdan, meaning Allah Almighty. Zoroaster is believed to have lived in the 6th century BC.

Shauq is fully conscious of the complexities of life. He says;

                Life is a snake crawling

                Life’s path

                Twist and turns

                And the distances

                Are always expanding

Yet, he is optimistic that life will shine with bright light at the end of the dark tunnel. This he portrays in the following lines..

                The state

                Graveyards

                Yet new

                Bushes grow

                Bringing hope

                For new

                Life.

About love, Shauq says;

                And with love

                Culture

                Location,

                Belief,

                All vanish,

                This, I believe

Shauq is restless soul, always on the move, in the quest for peace, amity, and universal brotherhood. He years that;

                Like travelers of yesterday

                It would be my wish

                To go to world’s corners

                The white flag of peace,

                The banner I would carry

                Removing all the borders.

                And whole humankind

                Could join together

And in another two lines, Afzal Shauq, lark of thousands melodies, aspires;

                For a white flag

                To wave against the darkness.

Now, let us recall prophetic Goete’s dying words - - - only two words;

                “ MORE  LIGHT ”
