We are all suffering through a lot, in our own different ways. Suffering doesnt just mean that one suffers physically. It literally doesn't mean to have some sort of physically disease or to have some disease regarding our metabolism. We're living in a country where "mentally depressed" is not being counted in "suffering". Blackmailing, torturing and of course " Log kya kahyngy" is ruling our minds. There is a person who is getting blackmailed about something. There is another person who is being tortured brutally. There are people who are not allowed to study their favourite fields and are being told that only medical and engineering are good field.

When asked to give some names of astronauts, you will probably say, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin or maybe Michael Collin, but many few people know about Namira Salim.
Born in Karachi, Namira is the first Pakistani to go into space. Namira is one of the earliest founders of Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, which is the world's first commercial space liner. Namira is also widely known as the First South Asian Space Tourist.Namira was among those 100 shortlisted persons among 44000 candidates, who were to travel in space. In August 2006 she was officially recognized as the "First Pakistani Astronaut" by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting of the Government of Pakistan.
“I was in secondary school when I looked myself in the mirror and said, ‘One day, you would touch the deepest depth of the ocean and reach the highest height of the skies'”
She is also the first Pakistani to reach the North Pole in April 2007 and the South Pole in January of 2008.& also she is the first Asian and first Pakistani to skydive over Mount Everest, during the historic First Everest Skydives 2008.
"A peaceful and tolerant Pakistan, as I knew it when I lived there in the 1980s. Being Pakistani means a lot and until now, I have not given up my passport. I have remained loyal to my roots -despite having gone to the farthest ends of our planet."
Surely her achievements are an inspiration for the women and the youth.
