With faith, discipline and selfless devotion to duty, there is nothing worthwhile that you cannot achieve - Quaid-i- Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Quaid-e-Azam Residency (Urdu: قائد اعظم ریزڈنسی‎—Qāʾid-e Aʿẓam Rẹziḋinsī), also known as Ziarat Residency, is located in Ziarat, Balochistan, Pakistan. It is where Quaid-e-Azam, Muhammad Ali Jinnah spent the last two months and ten days of his life. It is the most famous landmark of the city, constructed in 1892 during the British Raj. The building is a wooden structure, originally designed as a sanatorium before being converted into the summer residence of the agent of the Governor General. It is declared a national monument and heritage site and is of great architectural importance.

On 15 June 2013, the Residency was targeted with rockets by terrorists and badly damaged.

However, it has been reconstructed and opened to public since 14 August 2014.

Jinnah is one of my ideals and is a symbol of dedication in the history of Indo-Pak subcontinent, today is his birthday.

Urdu Poetry by Mohammad Muneem Nazir at Bengaluru Poetry Festival 2018.

The only word I could think of that does justice in describing this image is the Urdu word 'Mehfuz' (Meh-fooz), which means:

To make safe; to relieve from apprehensions of, or exposure to, danger; to guard; to protect, To put beyond hazard of losing or of not receiving; to make certain; to assure; to insure.

It means all of that. You can probably see why I chose that word for this image of a cygnet on its mother's back wrapped in warm feathers on a rainy morning.
