39, JULY 11, IS A SIGNIFICANT DAY FOR ME INDEED.














Some days are unique to you in life, I am sure, whereas some days you know, are so very much significant to you. Some you adore very dearly.  Some are melancholic. In addition, some you keep very close, behind closed doors so close to your heart and you only know why.

July 11th each year is one such day in my life. One way, it is observed as world population day. In fact, I do not know what makes you rejoice there in having a population explosion from2.5 billion in 1950 to 7 billion in 2012.  A world of 7 billion is both a challenge and an opportunity with implications on sustainability, urbanization, access to health services and youth empowerment. What is disquieting me, here is about 16 million girls under 16 give birth and become unwanted mothers every year.  More painful is another 3.2 million undergo unsafe and hazardous abortions. Thanks to the multicultural and secular ideologies and modern mindset, that has gripped the ultra modern youth. Our behavior pattern is decomposed.

 Another instance of such a day to be pleased is the birth of Thomas Bowdler on July 11, English physician, His name is the origin of the term “bowdlerize”, and his form of censorship consisted in removing what he considered offensive without other changes. "In 1818, after retiring to the Isle of Wight, he published his Family Shakespeare in 10 volumes. In which he 'endeavored to remove everything that could give just offence to the spiritual and upright mind' and 'in which nothing is added to the original text, but those words and expressions are omitted which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a family.'"
 I love July 11 on other count also, as Charles Dickens published A Tale of Two Cities in 1859 on this day.  Keats also wrote In the Cottage Where Burns is Born and Lines Written in the Highlands on July 11, 1818.  July 11 is a day ever to be held close to my heart as my dad was born on that day.  He shaped and molded my life and reshaped and remolded to what I am today.
 Nevertheless, if at all I hold this day so close to my heart mind and soul, and take pride in it, it is just because Dr. Shema Ferhana was born on this day to me as my daughter 41 years ago. Just like my dad, she is god loving sanctimonious, outspoken and stouthearted. 
Like my dad, she reads the eyes, and unzips the minds  of her patients precisely. She is quite disharmonious with the treacherous and the sinister minded.  she is a dedicated and devoted physician for all these years. She has been a fond and caring daughter, a very faithful and dutiful spouse and an affectionate and hardworking  mom. May Allah bless her with health and happiness and make her endeavors splendid and exalted.
