    "At least try"

    As we sit here hungry and sick people argue over where their money might go
    Will it really go to me or a corrupt Pakistani politician they all want to know

    Please don’t look for excuses as to why you shouldn’t, couldn’t and wouldn’t give
    I and so many others here desperately need your generosity in order to live

    The clock is ticking as so many of us are suffering and many more of us might die
    How will you live with yourself knowing that to help me you didn’t at least try?

    one word..sadness. Thanks for sharing.
    Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

    -Ferishta, 1560–1620
