تاریخ کو اپنے وجود سے شرمندہ کرتا ہوا یہ قدیم شہر ملتان کے نام سے جانا اور پہچانا جاتا ہے ۔کرشن اور جمباوتی کی منتوں مرادوں سے مانگی ہوئی اولاد سامبا نے سورج کے دیوتا کے لیے شہر کے بیچو بیچ جو مندر تعمیر کروایا تھا اسی نسبت سے شہر کو مول استھان پکارا جانے لگا۔ جو مولتان سے ملتان ہو گیا۔ خارجی دروازوں سے منسلک فصیل نے شہر کے اندرون کو ماں کے دامن کی طرح صدیوں سے سمیٹا ہوا تھا کہ بالائی پنجاب کے راجہ رنجیت سنگھ کے حملے نے اسے بکھیر کر رکھ دیا۔ ملتان اپنے ہی دروازوں سے باہر آ گیا۔ چناب کے کناروں نے فاصلہ کر لیا۔ یوں وہ شہر جہاں سے پورے ہندوستان میں ہولی کا تہوار شروع ہوا تھا پھیکا پڑتا گیا۔
گو اندرون شہر میں وقت کے بھاری وجود سے دبی کہنہ عمارتیں اب بھی گزری عظمتوں کا پتہ دیتی ہیں۔ لیکن یہاں پر بسنے والے لوگوں کی آنکھوں میں سفر کی تھکان دکھائی دینے لگ پڑی ہے۔ دور جدید کے تقاضوں نے ان کو اسی شہر میں ہی اجنبی کر دیا ہے جس کو ان کے آباؤ اجداد نے کئی قرن آباد رکھا۔ اب پرانے شہر سے ان کو صرف وسائل کی کمی نے باندھ رکھا ہے وگرنہ یہ لوگ بھی کھیتوں کو تیاگ کر تعمیر کیے جانے والی ہاؤسنگ سوسائٹیز میں منتقل ہو چکے ہوتے۔

Shah Rukn e alam is a famous sufi saint of Multan who spread Islam in the south Asian population by his character and humbleness. He was the grand-son of Bahauddin Zakaria who himself was a saint. The tomb was built between 1320 and 1324 CE in the pre-Mughal architectural style. The tomb is said to have built by Ghias-ud-Din Tughlak (r.1320-1325 AD) during his governorship of Depalpur. The tomb is a famous architectural master-piece. And an important part of Multan's identity.

Hyperlapse: A timelapse (video in which the time appears to be lapsing) in which the camera is also moving..
I could not find any hyper lapse movies shot in Pakistan. This makes it the first Pakistani city to be hyperlapsed. Months of shooting (mostly on holidays) and weeks of editing. Took thousands of photos mostly manually (without interval shooting mode) moving the camera inch by inch after each shot to make the camera angle moving. Hopefully you like it.

Inzamam-ul Haq reminded me of a banyan tree; huge, immovable, cool, soothing, roots everywhere you see; roots that can slow you down or roots that can provide strength. There was a timelessness about him that made urgency seem an irrelevant fetish. And yet he also reminded me of a sitar player who plucks each string carefully, each motion designed to produce a specific piece of music, every note in place and unhurried; occasionally glancing at the tabalchi, giving him a moment and moving on.
He was not the prancing guitarist, no extraordinary flurry of activity to produce a short, breathtaking burst of music. He was unlikely to say “aah, baby” everytime a word eluded him. The world needs those too, only they were born elsewhere; where the wind had several appointments to keep in a day. In Inzamam’s house, the wind came to stay, produced a couple of delicate zephyrs, curled its way round and lingered over its goodbye.
In Inzamam’s world, the child could come charging in saying “abbu, abbu, dekhiye to kya ho raha hai” and he would listen carefully and say “acchha, zara chai khatam karke dekh lete hain. Arre bhai woh biskut kahan gaya.” That kind of world!
And it is hard to imagine that Inzamam came into world cricket as a destroyer. He played an extraordinary New Zealand side, for whom the whole had a ridiculous exponential relation to the sum of the parts, twice in a few days in the 1992 World Cup and broke as many hearts as is possible in a country of such few. Suddenly the world was watching him and listening to Imran Khan, the finest picker of talent in the game.
We were in Australia before the World Cup when Imran’s opinion on a relatively unknown Inzamam became known. Then, like always, he found creative ways of getting run out and people had begun to wonder if Imran had played a mind game by throwing in this lumbering young giant. He was to justify his captain’s faith; like Wasim and Waqar did. It’s not a bad trio that and who knows Imran as Prime Minister might discover a similar defence, finance and home minister!
But this lumbering giant had another quality. He had eyes that spotted things before a predator, a trickster or a politician could. He was a great judge of length and pace and so seemed to have the time against bowlers when others seemed to be as much in haste as a just departed train. And word began filtering through that the best player against Waqar and Wasim in their prime was Inzamam in the nets.
His laidback style seemed to push the headlines away. And so while the world talked of Tendulkar and Mark Waugh, of an emerging Lara and in course of time of an emerging Ponting, there wasn’t the same flurry of adjectives with Inzamam. Two years after that World Cup I saw him decimate New Zealand again at Sharjah and he was as brutal as his style would allow him to. It wasn’t just a flat deck and a reluctant attack, it was a batsman who wore the cloak of majesty.
As captain he had to be seen to be here, there and everywhere on the field, darting between press conferences, interviews, practice sessions, selection committee meetings and barbs from volatile team-mates. These were not slings and arrows, for Inzamam, they seemed to be mines and missiles and clearly he did not enjoy them. He was, initially, a reluctant leader of men for it seemed then that he had to escape his world and embrace another. When the little child ran in and said “abbu, abbu, dekhiye to kya ho raha hai” he had to bound out of his chair and say “chalo dekhte hain abhi”.
To be captain of Pakistan is to be permanently on the war-front, to be a Genghis Khan or a Mahmud of Ghazni. Inzamam was more Bahadur Shah Zafar, to whom the ghazal was more important than the cannon. His dynasty had seen Babar and Aurangzeb, only the occasional Shah Jahan, but the last Mughal emperor was more likely to go into battle saying “wah bhai Zauq, ek aur sher sunaen” or “miyan Ghalib, is jang ke baare me aapki kalam kya kehti hai?”
But unlike Bahadur Shah Zafar who wasn’t much of a warrior and ended up being imprisoned, Inzamam could bat. He was one of the highlights of his era. He made many thousands but the last three eluded him. It is like that in life sometimes but it does not belittle him in the least.

Ghanta Ghar or Clock Tower of Multan was built in 1884 A.D. during British Raj in South Asia. After passing municipal act 1883 British needed offices to run the city. They started constructing Ghanta Ghar in Multan on 12 February 1884 and it took 4 years to completely build this building. It was constructed over the ruins of Haveli of Ahmad Khan Sadozai which was completely destroyed during Siege of Multan. The hall was named "Ripon Hall" after the viceroy of India at that time. Later changed to "Jinnah Hall" after independence of Pakistan. The clock stopped working in 1985. Now the machinery and needles have been changed and working on solar energy now.
Multan, November 16, 2015 – Mr. John Groarke, Mission Director of the United States Agency for International Development, and Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Tahir Amin performed the groundbreaking ceremony of the USAID-funded Faculty of Education building at the Bahauddin Zakariya University Multan today. Consul General Lahore, Zachary Harkenrider, as well as students, faculty, educators and government officials attended the event to celebrate the partnership in higher education and research between the United States and Pakistan.

This facility will cater to approximately 275 students and 15 faculty members and other staff. Other features include low maintenance design, energy-efficient and green building concepts, and landscaping.
USAID Pakistan is providing $45 million for the construction or rehabilitation of 17 higher education institution buildings across Pakistan, including 6 projects in Punjab: two at the University of Punjab and one each at Fatima Jinnah Women University, University of Education- Lahore, Islamia University- Bahawalpur and Bahauddin Zakariya University-Multan. Seven of 17 Faculty of Education buildings have been completed and the remaining 10 will be finished in 2016. Combined, these facilities will have the capacity to support more than 5,000 students and 200 faculty members each year.
