Dear Friends,

Migrant workers in Thailand need your support!

Under the Provincial Decree on Migrant Workers from Burma, Cambodia and Lao, migrant workers are not allowed to use mobile phones, ride motorbikes, or leave the worksite at night between the hours of 8:00pm and 6:00am. Further, a ban has been placed on assemblies of more than five persons. Please sign for the withdrawal of the discriminatory Decree upon migrant workers.

I am Imran Khan Laghari, (LL.B) law graduate from Pakistan. I am a human rights activist and lawyer. I belong to a remote area and my father is a farmer. I applied for admission as well as scholarship at Mahidol University for M.A Human Rights at Thailand. I was selected by the Selection Committee of the University but from this year, the grantor from, which University get scholarships for students had finish their contract with the University because of this reason University is unable to provide me scholarship and due that it seems clear that I will loose my academic year and chance to do the most important course of my career as it is also important for my country and people because in Asia Mahidol University the only University offering this degree in Human Rights in English.

Imagine a dark room, Suspend a coin at centre of the room. Now as you switch on the light of the room. Look at the coin. You can observe a sparkling light reflecting from the coin.

Its human tendency or so to call it natural tendency, we first see the sparkle. In real life, we similarly look at the sparkling aspects first. All the glamorous or highlighted aspects of life comes to our notice first. If we observe carefully at the coin. The area which is sparkling, the area which is dimly lighted and the area which is not receiving any light, is actually made of same material in all the three cases. Its just two factors for which we give importance to the area which is sparkling. The factors are time and space. It was matter of time which is incidental that the source of light was placed. And its that space which determines your point of view. In real life its the same factors which play a role in our thought process. Well in fact, each and every aspects of life has the same importance or rather no importance similarly to the coin. Every sparkle is periodic so is every aspect.
The sparkle of the coin or life is just one aspect, not the whole philosophy.


There is also a third side of the coin, which determines the other two.
