Pakistani girl writes to PM Modi, makes impassioned plea for peace
Posted 2 days ago | 15.12.17
As BJP had a grand Holi after their thumping victory in UP polls, a Pakistani girl has penned a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealing to him to work as harbinger of peace “if he wants to win more elections in future.”
Aqeedat Naveed (11), in her letter to the PM, said that governments of Pakistan and India should buy more books, instead of bullets, to start a new chapter of peace between the two countries. “Both countries should resolve that they will not buy guns, but will provide free medicines to hundreds of thousands of ailing people of both the nations,” she says.

The two-page handwritten letter, dated March 13, by Aqeedat says both countries will benefit by maintaining good relations with each other.
Aqeedat has earned accolades in her country for writing letters in support of peace and tolerance to world leaders, including that of India and Pakistan.
In another letter, Aqeedat and her brother Moarikh Naveed (14) have written to Pakistan’s chief of army staff Qamar Javed Bajwa congratulating him for the success of the recently launched operation ‘Radd-ul-Fasaad’ against terrorists. She praised him for his efforts to restore peace.
Aqeedat studies in Class 5 at Cathedral School, Lahore while Moarrikh is in Class 8 in the same school.
The siblings want to see tourists in Pakistan like India. Aqeedat feels that just because they don’t have any relatives here, they cannot travel to India. She wants to see Taj Mahal and Delhi. She also thinks many children from India may be wanting to visit Lahore.
Earlier, too, the kids have written letters to leaders in India. “PM Modi sent a greeting card to us in return,” claimed Moarrikh’s father.
Indian ambassador in Islamabad Gautam Bambawale also answered Aqeedat’s letter. Aqeedat also received a greeting card from 2016 Nobel peace prize winner and Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos.
The kids strongly believe that India and Pakistan can become good friends.

To fix SoundCloud, it must become the anti-Spotify
Startups die by suicide, not competition. It wasn’t that anyone was stealing Sound Cloud's underground rappers, bedroom re mixers and garage bands. Sound Cloud stumbled because it neglected these hardcore loyalists as it wrongly strove to usurp Spotify as the streaming home of music’s superstars.
But four months ago, after laying off 40% of its stuff, and brought in a new CEO. Now the question is whether SoundCloud can get back in the groove. I sounded the alarm about soundclouds mishandled headcount cuts, misguided direction and morale problems, so it feels important to lend some suggestions alongside the criticism.
SoundCloud has something no one else does: the world’s biggest archive of user-uploaded music and audio — around 120 million tracks. And so that must be the center of the service.
It once was, but rather than doubling down on independent creators, helping them monetize with ads and commerce and selling subscriptions to enhanced ad-free access, Sound Cloud wasted year chasing the major record label in hopes of building a Spotify competitor full of the most popular music. Finally in mid-2016 it launched the $9.99 SoundCloud Go+ subscription with ad-free access to mainstream music and indie stuff, but it was already years behind Spotify and Apple Music.
In the meantime, the distraction led to extraordinarily , both in terms of the volume of ads on the sites and the independent artists who could get a revenue share. Ads weren’t a big part of SoundCloud, so many users don’t feel it’s worth paying to get rid of them. Creators strayed to YouTube and Patreon, investing their attention and driving their audience to where they could earn money. And spurious take-downs of creators’ music that they already paid SoundCloud to host further burned the company’s cred with its core constituents.
