EID MUBARAK

[Good Governance Forum]

Dear Friends:

It gives me immense pleasure to say Eid Mubarak to you. May you and your family enjoy every moment of Eid-ul-Fitr and be thankful to Allah Ta'ala for His infinite blessings. It may also be the right time to revisit our own doings and making corrections wherever possible to contribute as much as we can to our nation, Muslim Umma and the world at large.

Bringing good governance to Pakistan is still a big dream but reforms are underway in whatever manner. Let's hope for a better tomorrow but not without commitment to our cause and without making our best efforts to reach our destination.

1. There is an old saying from Laozi, a Chinese scholar, “a journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step”, which means you cannot begin a journey without starting your first move.

China is a startling example of what Laozi said centuries ago. He died in 531 BC.

With best regards.

Mumtaz A. Piracha
