A Palindrome as we all know,reads the same backwards as forward. 
This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward.
Not only does it read the opposite, it manages to mean the exact opposite.

This is only a 104-second video, one that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old.

The contest was titled “u @ 50” by AARP.
This video won the second place.
 
When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struckand broke into spontaneous applause.
 

So simple and yet so brilliant.

Are Babies Born Good?

Babies

This interesting article by Abigall Tucker looks at whether babies are born good or bad. Where this morality comes from? This discussion , to some extent, is relevant to our earlier discussion whether a baby is born Atheist , Religious or neither- with a clean slate.

The author writes;

The last few years produced a spate of related studies hinting that, far from being born a “perfect idiot,” as Jean-Jacques Rousseau argued, or a selfish brute, as Thomas Hobbes feared, a child arrives in the world provisioned with rich, broadly pro-social tendencies and seems predisposed to care about other people. Children can tell, to an extent, what is good and bad, and often act in an altruistic fashion. “Giving Leads to Happiness in Young Children,” a study of under-2-year-olds concluded. “Babies Know What’s Fair” was the upshot of another study, of 19- and 21-month-olds. Toddlers, the new literature suggests, are particularly equitable. They are natural helpers, aiding distressed others at a cost to themselves, growing concerned if someone shreds another person’s artwork and divvying up earnings after a shared task, whether the spoils take the form of detested rye bread or precious Gummy Bears.”

The critics of the study say, author writes;

“Other critics, meanwhile, fault the developmental philosophy behind the experiments. Babies may look like they’re endowed with robust social skills, these researchers argue, but actually they start from scratch with only senses and reflexes, and, largely through interaction with their mothers, learn about the social world in an astonishingly short period of time. “I don’t think they are born with knowledge,” says Jeremy Carpendale, a psychologist at Simon Fraser University. A toddler’s moral perspective, he says, is not a given.”

اے مرغِ سحر دہر میں اک شور مچا ہے
یہ صبح نئی دن ہے نیا سال نیا ہے

اور شام کے ڈھلتے ہی چراغاں کا سماں ہے
جیسے کہ نئے سال میں حسنِ رخِ جاناں ہے

انداز تیری بانگِ سحر کا تو وہی ہے
روشن صبح صادق کا ستارہ بھی وہی ہے

سورج بھی وہی چاند ستار ے بھی وہی ہیں
یہ دھوپ یہ سائے یہ نظارے بھی وہی ہیں

گردوں کے شب و روز اشارے بھی وہی ہیں
ظالم بھی وہی ظلم کے مارے بھی وہی ہیں

ہر لمحے سے وابستہ وہی بیم و رجا ہے
حیراں ہوں نئے سال میں کیا ہے جو نیا ہے

گردن جو اُٹھا کر دی اذاں مرغِ سحر نے
اظہار کیا لطفِ خودی اس کی نظر نے

اک حسن ِسحر ہے میری ہر بانگِ سحَر میں
ہر روز ہے اُمید نئی اس کے سحِر میں

اشرف میں بتاتا ہوں نئے سال میں کیا ہے
اُمید نئی ہے جو نئے سال کا مژدہ ہے

کھول آنکھ زمیں دیکھ فلک دیکھ فضا دیکھ
مشرق سے اُبھرتے ہوے سورج کو ذرا دیکھ

اشرف
