No doubt here, people: I'm not food savvy, could never be a gourmet. Give me bread in my cupboard and steak on my plate! Sushi sets me on edge - it's fish bait! Broil me two salmon instead. Indict me if you will for a recent faux pas. At the Indonesian restaurant I coughed up my rijstafel and sent a debris of rice to the floor. Aye, and you know they run a tight ship there! For all I've been through, I'd write me a column - but I'm not great with words, either. I'm rescued often by mnemonic aids for Worsecter, halfpenny, rendezvous and others. But one task I've almost completed: I'll finish it now.
Question: Why is it so noisy at Wimbledon? Answer: you can't play there without raising a racquet!
Now ... what have I done? i.e. what is special about the paragraph above?

Last month we traveled to one of our favorite places, The Land of Enchantment, to teach a Saki Butterfly Quilt Workshop at Hip Stitch in Albuquerque, New Mexico. We had such an amazing time with some of the nicest people! We all worked hard, but there was plenty of fun, many dozens of donuts and so many pretty butterfly wings! We wanted to share a little recap, mostly in the way of photos, so you'll be sure to find your way to the next one! 😉
Speaking of which, we'll be booking workshop dates for 2018 in early Spring and are currently looking at Atlanta, Columbus, D.C., California and Tennessee. If you'd like us to come to your city, shop, or guild, just contact us here!
We kicked off the weekend with a Trunk Show on Friday night at Hip Stitch. I really can't believe we fit ALL THOSE QUILTS in our luggage. Thank goodness for that Mary Poppins bag…
If you're wondering what that quilt shown above is, you get the first full peek at our newest pattern, Heirloom, which will be included in the 2018 Quilter's Planner! Stay tuned for a full blog post about it later this month and be sure to preorder your 2018 Quilter's Planner NOW before they sell out! Also, we can't remember what the heck we were laughing about in that picture!
• • • • • • • • • • • •
The quilt workshop was all day Saturday and Sunday. We made sure to start each day with plenty of donuts, in true SARIELLA style. The classroom also happened to look like a Patchwork Threads advertisement!
On day one we covered paper piecing and on the second day we covered appliqué and assembly. It was so fun seeing all the variation in fabric selections and watching all the beautiful butterflies come together!
• • • • • • • • • • • •
The lovely team at Hip Stitch asked us to curate a few custom fabric bundles while we were there and it was so much fun! There's really nothing like running around an awesome modern fabric shop and getting to see all the fabrics up close and personal. Neither of us have one nearby and have to primarily shop online, so it really is like being in a candy store!
The first bundle we created is a set of Art Gallery Fabrics Oval Elements that coordinates with our Aurifil Thread Collection!
Next we put together a bundle of Moda Grunge solids in the palette of our Heirloom quilt. Nikki is going to be making a lap size version of the Heirloom quilt using these, so stay tuned to see that!
And last but not least, we curated a mixed bundle made up of various fabric lines and designers. We'll both be working with ours soon and will share more about it! All of these are available from Hip Stitch if you're interested!
• • • • • • • • • • • •
It's always wonderful for the two of us to share airpsace since we are normally two time zones apart. We managed to cram plenty of adventures into the few days we had together, including getting stuck in a torrential downpour and spending a little time inside of creepy serial killer drums somewhere on the side of the highway. Don't we make the cutest little drowned rats?!
• • • • • • • • • • • •
We will share our upcoming Saki Workshop dates here and on our Social Media pages as we schedule them, so just keep an eye out for those! We hope to see you there!

More Birthday Cakes
These birthday cakes were done for a very good friend of mine whose father and daughter happen to share a birthday. She threw a party celebrating both this past weekend and wanted a special cake for each of them. Her daughter turned 2 and she planed a brightly colored polka dot theme, and her dad does a lot of carpentry work so she had asked for a cake shaped as a hammer for him. This was my first time doing carved cakes, so I channeled Duff and Ace of Cakes and ultimately was really happy with how these turned out. I ended up carving these free hand after doing a couple of sketches and then did all of the decorating in fondant.

Ascent of Mount Humphreys on 2012-09-23

Keith Christensen
Sunday, September 23, 2012
Ascent Type:
Successful Summit Attained
Mount Humphreys
13986 ft / 4262 m
Ascent Trip Report
One of the most enjoyable climbs I've done in the Sierras. The drive approach was via 10+ miles of dirt road leading to upper McGee Creek. The last 0.5 mile was helpful to have 4WD, but otherwise a high-clearance vehicle was fine. We hiked in 3 miles to the last reasonable place to camp, a sandy area at 11,250 ft about 1/2 mile SE of the pocket glacier below Mt. Humphreys.
Started hiking a 7 am the next morning passing just to the right of the pocket glacier. Then up class 2 scree and talus to the hidden notch on the East Arete route, which is left of the obvious notch at the top of the chute.
The East Arete route starts with a couple hundred feet of solid class 3 climbing. The first obstacle is a wall, which can be overcome by going around an exposed corner to the left and up a 50 foot long vertical crack that leads to a belay station. This part was rated 5.2. Immediately after this, we dropped a few feet into an alcove and climbed up an easy class 4 vertical crack 15 feet to the ridge top. More class 3 climbing leads to a gendarme and an awkward class 4 move to the left on a slanted ledge around a corner. This gave us the most difficulty because the rock bulges out giving the sensation that one could fall off this barest of ledges.
Above this was a nice class 3 knife edge ridge run on the arete, eventually leading to a sandy slope with a use trail zig-zagging its was up. Rocky class 2 side-hilling leads to the notch called Married Men's Point. This is the crux of the climb at class 5.4, but overall felt easier than the 5.2 pitch far below. The first 20 feet up was the tough part. Then traverse left across class 3-4 rock to easier footing that leads up to the summit. We arrived at the summit at 2 pm, left at 2:15 pm, and were back down at camp by 5 pm. We rapped down the two class 5 pitches but otherwise downclimbed everything else.
If you enjoy a little low class 5 climbing, this is the fastest and best way to climb Mt. Humphreys.

OK...now I have to make little scraps of paper and will annouce the winner late this afternoon.
Yes! You heard correct. We are having a little Giveaway! It is officially Sunday as I type this. The contest will run until next Sunday.
I was going to do the "random" computer thing..but instead I thought I'd do a good ole fashion "out of the hat" kind of contest.
This is how it will work. You can leave a comment..that will be a chance to win. I also think it would be fun if you would share what you would download. A movie? Music? TV show?
If you take the code for the button..(designed by my lovely husband J) then you'll get another chance to win!
(email me for the code OR be kind enough to tell me how I can type it so you can grab it!)
On Sunday May 18th at 1pm CST Drew will draw the winning name...I'll photograph the little man picking the winner out of a hat! It's that easy!
I will post the winner's name, then all you have to do is give me your email address and I'll email you the iTunes code! Gotta love instant gratification.
(Apple/iTunes is not affiliated with this giveaway)

I would probably download one of my favorite Mindless Movies for those annoying bouts of insomnia. Perhaps something like Reality Bites or When Harry Met Sally. Or, as much Sha Na Na I can grab before my computer explodes with shame.

Me! Me! Pick the name of the poor teacher over here. I know the guilt won't help, but it's worth a shot. lol I would download some new things for my kids slide show at the end of the year, popular age appropriate songs to listen to in the classroom, and then some songs to help me unwind and dance around my living room. : ) I teach 8th grade. We may visit your blog to discuss the probability of me winning. On second thought, I'll just give them the info and we'll work it out from there.

Hi MP! I came here to tell you about how I quit smoking and now I could win music?!?! Cool! Of course I would by American Idol songs first. I'm a little behind in my Jason Castro and David Cook Collections.
Anyway, I quit smoking using Chantix. It has some bad side effects for some people so you have to be careful. It was almost like magic for me. I took it for a week while I was still smoking and then quit. I didn't smoke until the following Saturday. On Sunday, I quit again. I didn't smoke again until Saturday and then I smoked A TON!!! I couldn't believe it! I felt so awful and I decided that I was done and I haven't smoked since. My last cig was smoked on Jan. 26th. It's awesome!
Here's a link to my page at a quit smoking site similar to facebook or MySpce.
It's for support. You my also find the info at whyquit.com helpful too. They do advocate for Cold Turkey.
My hubby is still smoking but he's trying to quit. He had a bad side effect from Chantix and had to stop taking it.
I'll give you all the support I can when you decide it's time!!!

Subscribe To Dementium: The Ward Brings Survival Horror To DS Updates
I've already subscribed
If you've been looking for some survival horror to take on the road with you, and utilize stylus controls, then Gamecock has just what you need. The FPS survival-horror game Dementium: The Ward, developed by Renegade Kid, is now ready to make you piss your pants on the subway.
Dementium places you in a derelict hospital, devoid of memory. And oh yeah, there are horrific companions to keep you company. The game is essentially like a traditional survival horror. What is most surprising is how good the game looks on the DS. It's certainly a game that will keep you on your toes. "This game will scare the shit out of you," said Harry Miller, 'El Presidente' for Gamecock Media Group. "There's a hundred other reasons why I'd recommend Dementium: The Ward, but that is by far the best one."
Dementium: The Ward is now available on the Nintendo DS for $29.99. I dare you to try the game. Or, maybe I encourage you to do so. Because while I love cutesy puzzle games and training my brain, there's always room for variety on the DS.

Are you ready for the adventure of a lifetime? If so, you're in the right place. Royal Rangers is a small-group ministry for guys in grades K-12 that provides a variety of opportunities for fun and adventure as you make new friends, learn new skills, and grow into the man you were created to be.
Our goal in Royal Rangers is to introduce you to what we call the "seven experiences" of Royal Rangers:
The Royal Rangers program within your church is referred to as an "outpost". Your outpost may consist of one or more of the following age groups:
Most outposts hold meetings weekly, usually on Wednesday or Sunday nights. These meetings typically include Bible studies, games, and special activities based on some kind of skill, such as archery, photography, skateboarding, auto mechanics or carpentry. These activities typically relate to "skill merits", a type of award that serves as part of the Royal Rangers advancement system.
The advancement system is a sequential process that provides recognition for your accomplishments as you achieve specific milestone in the program. You will receive a series of awards as you complete the necessary requirements and earn specified combinations of three types of merits:
The awards you earn can be displayed on the Royal Rangers uniform or in other ways as determined by your outpost.
If you are looking for an outpost in your area, our Outpost Locator feature can help you find your options. Please note however that since Royal Rangers is a church-based ministry, program specifics such as meeting times and locations may vary from one church to another. To learn more about the program at a specific church, we recommend that you contact the church directly using the contact information provided by the Outpost Locator.
If the locator doesn't identify any outposts in your area, it's still possible some churches near you may have Royal Rangers, but their information may be out of date. We therefore suggest that you contact the Assemblies of God churches in your area to ask them if they have a Royal Rangers program.
Get ready for an adventure for the days ahead of you will be just that! You will be challenged to grow into the man you were created to be. God created you for a purpose and He has a plan for your life and your future. That plan will lead you into the truest, fullest form of manhood - Christlike manhood!
So let's hit the trail, and let the adventures begin!

Manicure and pedicure technicians assist clients with caring for their hands and feet. They work in salons and spas providing a variety of treatments that include cleaning, trimming, and polishing nails. A high school diploma or equivalent and state licensing is typically required.
Essential Information
Manicure and pedicure technicians provide various nail care services to clients. They generally work in salons and spas and must possess good customer service skills. Technicians need to complete a state-approved training program and acquire licensure before practicing.
|Required Education
|High school diploma or equivalent and completion of nail technician program
|Other Requirements
|State examination and license
|Projected Job Growth (2018-2028)
|Mean Annual Wage (2018)
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Career Overview
Manicure and pedicure technicians often work in salons and spas, performing a series of nail technology steps. They start by removing any existing polish from the nails and then prepare baths to soak the client's hands and feet. Scrub brushes, pumice stones and other tools are used to clean the hands and feet. Nail technicians treat the cuticles by softening and moisturizing them with oil and then pushing back or trimming them. Nail filing and clipping are also performed. Some manicure and pedicure technicians massage clients' hands and feet.
Clients often choose from a selection of nail polishes, which the nail technician uses to paint the nails. Nail technicians also perform specialty services, such as applying artificial nails or treatments, to help improve nail strength or deter nail biting. Nail decorations or airbrushing are also offered by some manicure and pedicure technicians.
Clients may seek advice from nail technicians regarding proper nail care or beneficial products to use. Some salons offer nail technicians incentives for selling nail care products. They may also set appointments, collect payment and keep inventory of nail care supplies. Maintaining their work areas and ensuring all equipment is clean and sanitized are a manicure and pedicure technician's responsibility.
Manicure and pedicure technicians are required to obtain licensure from their state. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), most states require nail technicians to complete a state-approved training program (www.bls.gov). Additionally, many states and training programs mandate that applicants have a high school education.
Nail technician programs are available at vocational schools and community colleges. Students can complete a training program that teaches nail technology only or obtain an associate's degree in cosmetology that teaches a broad range of beauty services, in addition to nail technology.
Nail Technician Programs
Nail technician programs are generally shorter than other beauty training programs. Students participate in classroom instruction and hands-on training. Some schools have student salons where they may work with actual clients to help them gain real world experience. Coursework typically includes bacteriology, nail and skin disorders, nail art, nail treatments, artificial nail application and repair, safety and sanitation, massage, nail design and business.
Cosmetology Programs
Cosmetology programs also teach nail technology skills, in addition to hair cutting, hair styling, skin care, makeup application, business and more. Students can earn an associate's degree or a certificate in cosmetology, and receive supervised hands-on experience.
After completing a state-approved training program, nail technicians can apply to become licensed. They must pass an examination and may need to perform a practical test to prove their nail technology skills.
Salary and Outlook
In May 2018, manicure and pedicure technicians earned a mean annual salary of $24,330, according to the BLS. From 2018-2028, manicure and pedicure job opportunities were expected to grow by 10% due to nail salon and spa growth, reported the BLS. Entry-level positions should be fairly easy to attain, since there was a high turnover rate.
Manicure and pedicure technicians provide beauty treatments for hands and feet using a variety of tools, including nail clippers and nail files. Most states require that manicure and pedicure technicians complete a nail technician program before applying for state licensing. A high school diploma is typically required.

- A necklace – sure, mom has tons of jewelry that she can wear anytime she wants to but nothing beats a piece of jewelry from her very own child. Necklaces are one of the most popular choices when it comes to gifting jewelry because it can mean a lot of things, depending on what charm it comes with. Pick a charm that symbolizes something for you and for her so she has something to always remember you by. Moms always love sentimental pieces of jewelry like these and it doesn't even have to be the fancy and expensive kind because to them, what matters is who gave it to them.
- A cute handbag – another practical fashion gift that you can give mom for Mothers' Day is a handbag. Moms can never have too many handbags. Aside from the fact that they have to carry a million things every time they leave the house, it's also one of the few pieces they can use to accessorize their whole look. When picking a handbag to give to mom, keep it classy and versatile by going for a neutral color so she can use it with any of her outfits. It's also important to look for one that has ample storage inside so that she can conveniently carry everything that she needs.
- A nice watch – with so many things she has to do day in and day out, a watch is sure to come in handy, especially for a busy mom. It doesn't have to be a Rolex or anything super expensive and fancy (but if you have the money to splurge on a gift for mom then, hey, go for it!). A lot of other brands out there make really good watches that have nice and elegant designs that I'm sure mom will love.
- A chic pair of shoes – just because they don't go out as much as they used to doesn't mean they don't deserve beautiful shoes anymore. Give mom a chic pair of shoes that she can use to dress up her day to day outfits. Whether to give her heels or flats depends on what she likes better. Personally, I think moms could get more use out of a dressy pair of flats than a pair of sky-high, sexy heels.

My path crossed that of Scottish trio Fuck-Off Machete only a few months ago: we found ourselves in some stinking basement venue or other, sweat cascading down dimly lit brick-red walls, beers warming in front-row hands held in statuesque formation. One party - this one - stood facing the other tear through the opposite wall with a set of fairly blistering, bombastic and brooding rock and roll. The unexpected element in their savagely potent brew was almighty pop hooks; that, and front screamer Natasha Noramly's way with a flesh-revealing dress.
All thoughts of sweat-glazed lady bits removed from one's memory, we can all move on, hand in clammy hand, to this: 'If Gold Was Silver and Silver Was Gold' is the group's first release for the predominantly electro' label Highpoint Lowlife. Why risk a decent reputation based on a niche of expertise with a guitar-strangling rock band? Well, if the title track arrived on my desk, I'd have no hesitations in asking its architects to sign on the line: between-chorus wanderings finally merge in an almighty racket, former Ganger member Noramly roaring in a way unheard since (fellow Scots) Macrocosmica's Cerwyss O'Hare's eruptions. It's all rock, a wayward roll or two and comes with a lingering pop aftertaste: like Franz et al if they'd ever employed a chaos-bringing chanteuse up front.
When she's not stripping her own throat hoarse, Noramly whispers the very bittersweetest of nothings - when she slides her poison tongue about your ear with "remember how good we used to fuck?" on b-side 'Copper And Lead Fight', one might have to order a fresh, cool beer or suffer the embarrassment of checking out for an early bath. The trio's demonstrating of deft pop sensibilities, retained from the their recommended live shows, runs throughout these three tracks of otherwise acerbic angst-rock. Without it, Fuck-Off Machete would be as appealing a prospect as being butchered by just that; with compositional intelligence on their side, and the sexiness necessary to tempt indie lurkers out from bedroom to show, the Scots could become a real buzz band of the forthcoming wintry months.
I, certainly, will be keeping various digits crossed for another convergence of paths.

Well, Bruce Wayne is a billionaire. Why should he drive himself around? This Batmobile was spotted in New York City and was probably based on a Corvette.
The limo is inspired from the Batmobile that was featured in the 1989 and 1992 Batman films directed by Tim Burton. You can see more pictures of the BatLimo as well as a video that we discovered on Youtube after the jump.

When life leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth,
Your kiss is the only flavour that removes the bitter aftertaste.
When life blurs my vision with cloudy veils of tears,
Your smile is the only light that clears the sky.
When life douses the flames of my hopes and dreams,
Your embrace is the warm blanket that blocks out the cold despair.
When life is a nightmare,
You are my beautiful wakening daydream.

In a move most directly aimed at wooing SC and backward community voters, especially from Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, 19 new ministers were sworn in the expansion of the Union Council of Ministers, which now is 78 ministers strong. This was also followed by certain major changes, the most intriguing of which was the removal of Smriti Irani from the HRD Ministry to Textiles, with Prakash Javdekar, hitherto the Minister for Environment, Forests and Climate Change, taking her place, and the transfer of Jayant Sinha from Finance to Civil Aviation.
Exiting the council were ministers Nihal Chand, Ram Shankar Katheria, Sanwar Lal Jat, Mansukhbhai D Vaswa and M K Kundariya.

The new cabinet now has a calculated melange of representatives from Brahmin, OBC, SC, ST and Muslim communities, in an attempt to fortify the ruling party's reputation for the upcoming elections in UP and Uttarakhand. Further strengthening their position is inclusion of MPs from eight new states.
Source: etimes
Smriti Irani received a direct blow as a result of these changes. Her stint as the Minister of Human Resource Development has been fraught with controversy. Beginning with questions on her own educational qualifications, her proposals for a rather disproportionate number of national-level institutions like the IITs with an apparent disregard for quality standards, her handling of the JNU row and her stance on the Rohith Vemula case drew her, and the government, considerable criticism.
Source: tbjp
Her post, after her removal to a rather less agitable Textiles Ministry, has been taken up by Prakash Javdekar. While Javdekar, a seasoned and vocal spokesperson for the BJP is expected to brew up less trouble for the government, the question about his suitability for a role that directly impacts a sizeable chunk of the country, prevails.
Source: alchetron
Irani's loss however, has been Anupriya Patel's gain. The 35-year old Apna Dal MP from Uttar Pradesh is BJP's latest protegee. Her late father, Sonelal Patel was instrumental in rallying OBC support, primarily with his own caste, the Kurmis, which is a dominant kingmaking faction in UP and Bihar. The Lady Shri Ram-educated, MBA-holding dynamic leader could prove to be BJP's trump card in UP if Congress uses Priyanka Gandhi as its face in the Assembly elections in 2017. Patel has thus ousted Smriti Irani who was expected to play an important role in these elections.
Source: finexp
A rather inscrutable step has been the charging of Jayant Sinha with Civil Aviation when he was introducing significant changes as Minister of State for Finance. The MBA from Harvard has a reputation that far exceeds his illustrious parentage. The son of former Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha, this MP from Hazaribagh has previously worked as an investment fund manager and a management consultant in the likes of McKinsey and Co. While his credentials make him the perfect fit for the Finance portfolio- especially in the wake of Brexit and an environment of uncertainty in global economy- the move to Aviation is indeed a puzzling one.
Source: veethi
Another potentially contentious move is the charge of the Ministry of Law handed over to Ravi Shankar Prasad, who has, with some measure of success in the Digital India campaign, held the chair in the Ministry of Information Technology and Communication. It is noteworthy that Ravi Shankar Prasad has been associated with a number of highly publicised cases during his stint as a lawyer, the most famous of those being the Ayodhya Temple Title Case, where Prasad advocated for the Hindu Maha Sabha, representing Ram Lalla, the deity.
Source: powerpolitics
MJ Akbar, journalist-turned-politician, who was a Congress MP before crossing over to BJP in 2014, was sworn in as Minister of State for External Affairs. The only Muslim minister in the new cabinet, Akbar, a prominent journalist, author and intellectual, could serve to reinforce BJP's credibility with the Muslim community, something that the staunchly right-wing party, under allegations of intolerance for minorities, is in dire need of.
Inclusion of new MPs from Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, West Bengal, Karnataka and Uttarakhand, while carefully maintaining the caste balance, appears to have been a key motivation in this reshuffle. While the Modi government professes to have followed the E3 rule for choosing candidates- energy, expertise, experience- it remains to be seen whether this overhaul actually translates into the 'Maximum Governance' mantra of the ruling party.

On august 14 1947 mount batten flew to Karachi and addressed the Pakistan constituent Assembly, a simple ceremony marked the formal transfer of power from Britain to the people of Pakistan.[1]
Pakistan from its very inception faced a large number of problems like; Demarcation of boundaries, Uprooting of Muslims in Punjab, Refugees' resettlement, The accession of Hyderabad, Jonagadh, and Kashmir, Division of Indian Assets, Administration Problems, Language Controversy, and Population Problems. Many challenges in setting up new economic, judicial, and political structures, organizing the bureaucracy and the armed forces, resettle the Mohajirs (Muslim refugees from India), and establish the distribution and balance of power in the provincial and central governments were standing ahead. Pakistan in such hard-pressed situation, although Quaid was in ill health, he tried hard to keep the end up. He strongly took the hold of the national and international affairs. His strategies to run Pakistan in post partition era had a close connection to that of the strategies to establish Pakistan. Quaid's strategies can be classified as follows:
1- The Post of Governor General:
According to the Indian Act 1935 the post of the Governor General in the British Commonwealth officially meant simply being the British Monarch's representative, a ceremonial head of the state and cipher of the executive Government. Before the partition Mountbatten was keenly interested in the post of Governor General of Pakistan, he proposed his idea to Mr. Jinnah and wished to have a positive reply, but Jinnah denied and remained firm on his decision even Mountbatten threaten him of the gloomy future of Pakistan. And in fact the uneven distribution of Indian assets was the consequence of Jinnah Mountbatten clash. After the emergence of Pakistan Jinnah himself hold the post of Governor General. The wit in this act of Jinnah was that, he had a deep and thorough knowledge of British Diplomacy and British Politics. As a representative of British Monarch, any British would have done no favour to the people of Pakistan so Jinnah being the leader of his people and having a sound influence in British government, was the most appropriate person for the post of Governor General of Pakistan. Jinnah's strategy behind being Governor General was to maintain nation's trust on "Governor General" as well as British Government's.
2- Constitutional Requirements:
Constitution is the basic requirement of a country as it prescribes the rules and regulations according to which a state or government has to be organized. In this regard under section 8 of the Independence Act, The Indian Act of 1935, became with certain adaptations, the working constitution of Pakistan. But there was the need of a constitution, so a Constituent Assembly was arranged in order to frame the constitution for the country and to act as a legislative Assembly or Parliament until that constitution came into effect. In the inaugural session of the Constituent Assembly (10—14 August 1947 in Karachi ) Mr. N.J Mandal was elected as temporary chairman of the Assembly. And in the Quaid being the only candidate proposed for the presidency was elected as the president of the Constituent Assembly. Quaid's strategy regarding constitutional development can be better analyzed by his saying in his speech, opening the Constituent Assembly.
"If we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor… you are free- you are free to go to your temples mosques or any other place of worship in this state of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion, caste or creed that has nothing to do with the business of the state… in due course of time Hindus will cease to be Hindus and Muslims will cease to Muslims- not in a religious sense for that is the personal faith of an individual- but in a political sense as citizens of one state"
Actually Quaid didn't want people of Pakistan to scatter around on the basis of religious grounds. His approach to maintain the national integration and to remove the national disharmony among the people. He favoured to develop a constitution acceptable for all people living in Pakistan, in order to preserve the rights of minorities.
3- Peace Keeping And Resettlement of Refugees:
The fact that about a half million people died, about 5.5 million muslims and about 3 million Hindus and Sikhs had to leave their ancestral homes has made the partition intensely emotional. The history of bloodshed and human slaughter didn't end at the partition, instead it was at its utmost with the announcement of partition. On September 18 1947, London Times wrote, "More Indian people have been killed during the short space of the past months than in all the civil broils of the past fifty years. And Millions have been rendered homeless.[2 ]
Quaid outshone the great determination at this desperate situation and ordered immediately to provide relief to the refuges. He also attempted to protect the religious minorities and convince them to remain in Pakistan. Quaid's this act was basically an endeavour to maintain peace in those hard times. Some critics and give another title to this act of Quaid, as Ayesha Jalal wrote, "Jinnah was after partition seen as the "protector general of the Hindus" for his role in protecting them. He also appointed a Hindu as the first law minister of Pakistan and the first national anthem of Pakistan was written by a Hindu poet, Jagganath Azad, on Jinnah's behest which was later replaced by the current version written by a Muslim poet Abu-Al-Asar Hafeez Jullandhuri."
But in fact there was nothing like that, as Quaid attempted to maintain peace and protection of minorities' rights, it was necessary to give appropriate participation to them in national affairs. Secondly how could he deny the rights of minorities in his own state, which he had got just because of the unjust and improper attitude of the leaders of United India? "Rights of minorities" was the base on which Jinnah has made Pakistan.
4- Maintainance of National Harmony:
Born Agha Khani Ismaili Shia Muslim, Jinnah was once asked whether he was a shia or a sunni and he said if Prophet Muhammad was a shia, then he (Jinnah) was a shia and if the Prophet was a sunni then he was a sunni, but as the Prophet was neither of the two and was but a Muslim then so is he.
On October 24, 1947 on the occasion of Eid-ul-Azha Quaid's message to the nation was, "My message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation."
Quaid believed on unity of Muslims so that it was his strategy to keep all the groups of Muslims united so that they may get stronger. So he applied the same for his own state.
5- Establishment of Military:
At the time of the Division of Indian Assets, the Joint Defence Council was abolished and the Supreme Commander incharge of dividing the assets was expelled. Mountbatten had not interest in Pakistan getting its share, so whatever Pakistan received was nothing but scrap and out of order machines, broken weapons rust eaten artillery unserviceable aircrafts and a limited number of army. Quaid decided to proceed with the limited resources. He was of the opinion that the success totally depends on one's hard work and strength of mind and character. Here he opted to motivate the limited number of armed forces instead of increasing their number.
Addressing to Civil, Naval, Military and Air Force Officers of Pakistan Government, Karachi on October 11, 1947 Quaid said, "We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play."
On February 21, 1948 he motivated the officers and men of the 5th Heavy Ack Ack and 6th Light Ack Ack Regiments in Malir, Karachi in following words;
"You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of Islamic democracy, Islamic social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil. With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve."
6- Economic Policy:
At the time of partition Pakistan had to receive a sum of Rs.750 million as its share of hard money in the banks of India. At first India didn't show any inclination to transfer this money to Pakistan; but later saner elements prevailed and it gave Rs.200 million to Pakistan; while Rs.500 million were to be transferred to Pakistan later on which didn't come to happen till now. Again Quaid strategy was to work with limited resources. Fulfilling the national requirements was given the priority on exports, but great emphasize was on developing good trade terms with other countries of the world. To develop the economy there was a crucial need of currency and in this regard need of a central bank was must. So to meet the economic requisites State Bank of Pakistan was developed. Quaid inaugurated the bank and addressing the inaugural ceremony he said, "We must work our destiny in our own way and present to the world an economic system based on true Islamic concept of equality of manhood and social justice. We will thereby be fulfilling our mission as Muslims and giving to humanity the message of peace which alone can save it and secure the welfare, happiness and prosperity of mankind"
7- Foreign Policy:
Initial foreign policy of Pakistan was of nonalignment, with no formal commitment to either the United States or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), the two major adversaries in the Cold War. It was because; Pakistan was a new born state with limited resources. The basic emphasize was on economic development, resettlement of refugees and setting a peaceful atmosphere. In fact Jinnah didn't emphasize much on foreign policy.
8- Kashmir Issue:
When the Indian Army entered the Himalayan princely state of Kashmir in October 1947 in response to an invasion of Pakistani tribesmen and soldiers, Jinnah responded by increasing military aid for the invaders while strongly criticizing the Hindu Maharaja of Kashmir's accession to India despite a majority of his subjects being Muslim. Afterwards India took the issue to the UN Security council where by it was decide that the future of Kashmiri's will be determined according to their own choice, which is a dream till yet. But in fact act of sending the Pakistani Army in Kashmir at that time was thwarted by British commanders.
9- Educational affairs:
Quid didn't take any big step for educational affairs at that time. (Curriculum and Syllabus) but informally, he did much. He ordered to establish a learning and educational environment for the children in refugees camps. Quaid had a great love for students, for him they were the future of Pakistan. He wanted students' participation in national affairs but advised them to finish their studies first. On October 30, 1947 Speech at a Mammoth Rally at the University Stadium, Lahore he said," That freedom can never be attained by a nation without suffering and sacrifice has been amply borne out by the recent tragic happenings in this subcontinent. We are in the midst of unparalleled difficulties and untold sufferings; we have been through dark days of apprehension and anguish; but I can say with confidence that with courage and self-reliance and by the Grace of God we shall emerge triumphant."
After partition Quaid lived for only one year and twenty eight days in his Pakistan. During this period he was in ill health. According to some historians Quaid's disease (tuberculosis) was diagnosed in 1944, but he kept it secret just because he didn't want any delay in the partition. He worked day and night and made untired efforts for the establishment of a separate Muslim state. And after partition he was not in the position to work further hard but he was supported by a hard core of love of his people that he didn't rest for a short while. And in spite of his inability to work due to his illness, he kept his hand in formulating strategies to achieve the projected goals. His strategies were going good but he lost the combat of life on September 11 1948. Many of his strategies couldn't get into action but the first year of Pakistan went according to the projections.
