We Need to Imagine a Brighter Future Written by Mohsin HamidThe article “we need to imagine a brighter future.” is Written by Mohsin Hamid. Mohsin Hamid was born in 1971 in Lahore, Pakistan, and moved to the US at the age of 18 to study at Princeton University and Harvard Law School. He then worked as a management consultant in New York, and later as a freelance journalist back in Lahore.
In this article Hamid states that nostalgia manifests itself in our day to day activities, entertainment industry and artistic culture. Nor even technology made it easy to resist nostalgia but it is other way around. The rapid change in technology has made us more adaptive to change but we experience change as stress. At the meanwhile, the tools like family, nation and religion which we have to deal with upheaval are being undermined. Thus, current situation makes us resistance to the future, profoundly angry and dangerous to such extent like a suicide bomber. So, the storytelling has great opportunity as profession because it offers an antidote to stress caused by nostalgia.
Hamid starts his article by recalling ever changing phenomena of human life. Nostalgia, a terrible potent force, develops with these changes which produce a strong desire to return to the glories of the past and resist to the future. Hamid gives evidence to his claim about manifestation of nostalgia in our political activities from different geographical location. He gives example of motto of Islamic state and al-Qaida which help writers from these parts of community to get it related to themselves and their society. The Brexit campaign which promise a return of glories of pre-EU Britain captures the attendance of those readers who have experience to this campaign. The chanting of words “Make America Great Again” in the recent US election which envisions a return of victorious America in second world war hooks the attention of American reader as well. Furthermore the discussion of India and China also help residents of Asia
.
Hamid is particularly interested in the way in which historical development of the West plays a vital role during the 21st century. In his work to give his definition of the West and the West as living in a constant time during the 19th century he provides an interesting and interesting overview from his point of view. His works of development have the following title: “Loving and Love in the West”. Since this book has been in print for 15 years he has written a number of articles about the literature on the historical study of the West and its future as far back as 1971, 1973, 1976 and 1977.
I have come to appreciate how much of “Greatness as The Real” is just some personal interpretation of historical reality as he was making it, i.e. its way of life.
LIFE
Life of Hamid is, as he himself admits, a kind of love story for this man, a kind of human experience which reflects a deep life experience of the world around him, and is a type of life story which is in a very deep way what he wants to express it. I say ‘deep’ because while it may be a part of his own life, in some way it must represent the experience of an individual who belongs there as an independent human being as an independent part of himself. Hamid does not want to say it himself, the way he gives the name to him. His real life is of an aspect of him whose full and personal realization is due to the way he acts.
Hamid was born in the year 1341.
A year later the age of marriage of the family was already set in stone. His marriage began with a great change in his education. He studied science and his studies started to give him knowledge in the sciences and it took for him to become a university student at that time and also in his career. His parents sent him to Moscow where he was an official pupil and as a student he used all of his talents to develop. This was on February 18th of the next year. After his father died, Hamid left Moscow for Kiev where he studied mathematics in the school of the Moscow Conservatory. The next year he decided to go to Kiev to study the sciences and the university of the University of Odessa. In the summer of 1983 there was a meeting with his father of his graduation. It was also at that time that Hamid was sent to Russia.
During his second or third year at Kiev the same issue was raised about the situation of Hamid’s mother, Mary. In case of Hamid’s sister, it would be interesting to analyze this as she was living with her father and her mother lived with her father (the family was separated in 1979), and it would therefore be fair to infer that Hamid attended school with Mary at that time.
The next term in the school’s term came when her sister was placed as a substitute for Hamid. From the moment she got on the mat a person on the mat was selected who could take care of the school, but one day she felt something strange: the only thing she remembered for her sister belonged to an older, kindest and most gentle man, who was a very good friend of hers, and she really felt something strange.
She wanted to return to Kiev and went to a theatre in Kiev. Later she learned that Mary and one of her friends were staying in a church here with other members of the school. The house is occupied by a man called Nastaziy (the same name that he received from his wife to which he was married at 1353) who was really an adult friend of Mary. He didn’t recognize Mary because most of his friends and even his
