MEETING:
INTRODUCTION

At the center of table is United Nations Secretary General, who will preside over the meeting.
Starting from the left of the table, we have the delegates and ambassadors of USA, India, Egypt, Pakistan and Russia.


UN Secretary General: A warm welcome to one and all present here. As you all are aware, this meeting has been called in view of the recent terrorist attacks going on in the Indian Subcontinent. It has always been United Nations duty and responsibility to ensure peace among nations and to avoid war at all cost. Keeping this in mind, let’s carry on with today’s proceedings.
To start with, all the ambassadors of each country will give an introduction speech. Then we will indulge in a discussion among the delegates. At the end there will be a conclusion by each ambassador.


US ambassador: A warm welcome to all present here. India and Pakistan have been in disputes several times regarding terrorist attacks across the border, despite many peace talks between them. This situation has just worsened and is about to be more severe if there are no control measures. The United States of America has always condemned terrorist activities around the world. We have always played a major role to bring peace and harmony to the world. We do not want another world war. We would request both countries to stop fighting and bring an immediate ceasefire. We would also want all other countries to vote for the same for the benefit of the entire mankind. Thank you.


Russian Ambassador: Hi, all of you. We, very much, condemn this terrorist attack. Our history has suffered severely due to two world wars and no one likes to have a third one. War is never the solution. It just aggravates the situation. India has since long been the victim of cross-border terrorism. If this problem is not solved now, it will keep recurring and innocent people in those areas will keep paying for that with their lives. It is high time that we all wake up to the situation and realize the seriousness of these haunting evils. We would want UN to be very active in eliminating terrorist from those areas, because such terrorist activities are detrimental to the growth of Indian subcontinent and we all know that it is significantly contributing to the world in IT industry. This would in turn hamper the development of the world. We also condemn the Indian attacks on Karachi. This is to make clear that we are totally against war. Thank you.


Egyptian Ambassador: Hello to all. Our country has been friendly to all the countries in the world. We are always committed to global peace. We have maintained goodwill relationship with both Pakistan and India, and we look forward to continue it over the future. We are totally against terrorist activities anywhere in the world. We are deeply saddened by the recent attacks. Our history has stood witness to the fact that terrorism is not restricted to any religion or nationality. It is a global disease. And we all must pray to God to protect us and our children and fight it together. We request the United Nations to call upon an immediate ceasefire between the two countries and to arrive at a negotiation between them. Thank you.


Indian Ambassador: Hello everybody. I would want to stress the fact that India has always been a peace loving country. We have never started attacks on any country or encroached anyone’s territory. We respect everybody’s freedom, culture and religion and that explains why we have so many religions here, why so many people with different cultures, languages and communities continue to live in peace and harmony. But it seems that our neighbours do not like this peaceful atmosphere in our country and hence always find some fanatic excuse to destroy our calmness. We have been constantly attacked by them from the time we got independence. That’s why we have lot of young and brave soldiers for defense who work tirelessly on the LOC (Line of Control) and put their life in danger.
Coming back to the recent bombings in Karachi, we have done it out of self-defense and as retaliation to the Pakistani attacks on our ship. Our investigations have confirmed that there was a Pakistani hand involved in this. We would like to give a message to our enemies that no one can take undue advantage of our peaceful attitude.
As always, we are still ready for ceasefire and negotiation talks if Pakistan stops all kinds of terrorist activities immediately. We would like to catch United Nations’ attention and request them to help us in solving this problem. We have always requested for the same in our earlier conferences but have never received active responses. It is high time that the world pays attention to us and let our innocent people lead their lives in a human way. Thank you.


Pakistani Ambassador: Hi everybody present here. Let me stress that we are also very much peace loving country. We are often accused wrongly of any terrorist activity that happens on Indian soil. Indian people always point fingers at us whenever a bomb goes off. In the past we have always been open to India’s peace talks.
Concerning the recent accusation of our Ghazi submarine, we confirm that we had nothing to do with those attacks. Our submarine did not intercept any enemy signal and our logs show no trace of any ship near itself. India has falsely accused us and used it as an excuse to bomb thousands in our developing city, Karachi. We would like to convey to the world that we are not a terrorist state and we do not promote any such activities in our country. Pakistan is doing its best to suppress the few miscreants that carry out blasts on border, thus defaming us. I request all of you to take the correct decision. Thank you.


Secretary General: Let’s now have the discussion among the delegates.
India: Let me again stress that Pakistan breeds terrorists in its soil. There are hundreds of madrasas that run in their country that corrupt young kids and prepare them mentally for fight. The Pakistan government has always supported them and never taken any actions against them. If Pakistan wanted, they could have wiped out all these wicked evils from their land. But they have never done those. We would request US especially who had supplied weapons to Pakistan to stop doing that. How many more attacks does UN want to get a confirmed proof that Pakistan is a terrorist state?


Pakistan: We again deny that Pakistan had anything to do with that attack.


US: We have supplied weapons to Pakistan to help them fight the terrorists in their land. This was as a response as per the request of Pakistan government and as a US initiative to eliminate the terrorists residing in their country and disturbing the government.


Russia: US has always played double standards. It says that it condemns terrorism. But it was the one that created Taliban to trouble us and the same Taliban has been the center of terrorism. We also cannot let any nation dominate another nation by taking advantage of their situation.

FLASHING NEWS: There have been confirmed reports that equipments used in the strikes against India were purchased from a Russian mafia.

US: Now we all know who plays double standards. Russia has supplied war equipments and helped in agitating the war.

Russia: We have nothing to do with the unsocial elements that supply weapons. We have taken strict action against those mafia groups and have been trying to wipe them out completely.

FLASHING NEWS:Indo-Russian deal scrapped.

Russia: As we have stated before, we strictly condemn all war activities and this deal has been put off because we agreed for the deal on the conditions that India used nuclear weapons only for peaceful purposes. We also expect similar responses from other countries. We will go ahead with the deal as soon as India agrees for ceasefire.

FLASHING NEWS:Ghazi submarine has safely reached a port of Egypt. The captain and the crew are safe and have communicated on the same.

India: We told you, it is the work of Ghazi. After it went absconding, it has suddenly appeared and has been under Egypt’s shelter. Even Egypt is helping Pakistan in concealing the submarine. Both countries Egypt and Pakistan have to play a role in this.

Pakistan: The Ghazi submarine went to Egypt just as a part of routine patrol and has not been trying to hide from anyone.

Egypt: We have ordered a thorough investigation as soon as the ship reached our port. As soon as the results are out, we will share them with the world. Even though we are of Islamic faith, it does not necessarily make us blind supporters of any Muslim nation or “jihads” for that matter. We have equally good relationship with all nations in the world. We are against terrorism.

FLASHING NEWS:There have been news that US is ready to supply Eagle fighter bombers to Pakistan.

Russia: Is this the response from US side after we scrapped our Indo-Russian deal? How are you helping to solve the situation?

US: We have agreed to supply only as a safeguard measure and to ensure that every nation gets full justice.

Egypt: But we do not see any justice to the whole world. We would like to remind all of you that we have come here for a ceasefire agreement.

Secretary General: Let’s stop and focus on the issue at hand. I would like to ask Pakistan if they have agreed to the peace conditions put forward by India.

Pakistan: We have always maintained that we favour peace and are ready for talks, but then we should not be attacked by India as per their whims and wishes.

FLASHING NEWS:Reports have confirmed that it was Ghazi submarine that had brought down INS Vikramaditya.

India: We have told that we had done our attacks only as retaliation. In response, we see that our nuclear deal with Russia has been cancelled and US is ready to supply bombers to Pakistan as usual. The Pakistan ship is safe in Egypt. I want to ask the UN that if this is the price that we have to pay for being a peace-loving nation. How long should we silently suffer?

FLASHING NEWS:US has sent a team to search for oilfields near Mumbai port.

Egypt: Is the US looking forward to strike against India this time? America’s war is always as a result of their greed for oil wells. We wonder if our country will be the next.

Russia: Yes, I agree with Egypt. Last time America searched for oil, it resulted in Iraq war. Are they planning to launch a war on India with the help of Pakistan just to acquire more and more oil?

US: Our hunt of oil is purely because of oil scarcity in the world. And if we discover oil in India, it will benefit the Indian government as it is under them. This has no relation to the current war crisis going in the Indian subcontinent.

Russia: But what about your agreement to supplying bomber fighters to Pakistan? We are talking of ceasefire here. We all are aware that both countries have possible nuclear weapons. If we do not stop this argument, there will be a major World War and a disaster to the whole world’s development.

Secretary General: Yes, Let’s not deviate from the purpose of this conference. I ask India and Pakistan to immediately stop all attacks from both sides and go for peace talks. Pakistan should readily accept the peace talks with India and cooperate with UN in abolishing any terrorist activity in their land. As for US, I would request them to stop supplying arms or any kind of war machinery to any nation in this crisis situation. Egypt should immediately arrest the captain of the Ghazi and hand over to Pakistani authorities who should then take strict actions against the captain. Every country should try to wipe out the terrorist from their states. Only then we can experience a totally terror-free world. Now as a conclusion of this conference, I would request all the ambassadors to briefly present their final views.

Egyptian Ambassador: I agree to the secretary general and will take the captain in custody and hand it to Pakistan for their trial. We want an immediate ceasefire agreement from both countries. We are ready to co-operate to curb terrorism at all cost. Thank you.

Russian Ambassador: Let’s forget the past and lets stop blaming each other. We should see the present and plan the future to avoid any more blood shedding. We look forward to every nation in this world to co-operate and ask them to avoid taking any steps that would give an impression of promoting war. Let’s solve the issue by peace talks and not by nuclear weapons. Thank you.

Indian Ambassador: Thank you all for coming to an agreement. We are ready for ceasefire and we have already put forward our peace terms and conditions and we would request Pakistan to accept our negotiation talks. Thank you all.

Pakistani Ambassador: We accept the ceasefire and are ready to go for negotiation for border disputes with India. We also look forward to end all inland terrorist activities in our country. We do not want ourselves to be branded as the house of terrorist. Thank you.

US Ambassador: We respect everybody’s point of view, in general and Russia, in particular. Let’s bury our past’s mistakes and look ahead to eliminate all the wars in future. We have cancelled our decision to supply fighters to Pakistan as a good will measure to the whole world. We again condemn the attacks and we appreciate the ceasefire agreement between Pakistan and India and hope the tension eases out in the following days and situation becomes again calm and peaceful. Thank you everyone for your wise opinions.

Secretary General: The meeting is dismissed. Thank you, everybody

The real meaning of friendship

Do you have a best friend?
True friends are rare. I say they do not exist. The only friends that you can have is your pets.
Just to explain my above statements, I will start off with the definition of friendship.
Friendship is a symbiotic relationship between two humans that exists as long as there is the need for the friendship. It is like a barter system where you exchange favours and expect them in return for your services.
Friendship is always selfish in nature. The only selfless friendship that can exist is between blood relationships. There is always a bit of self interest involved in any friendship.
Another thing that I should say is that the geographical distance between two "friends" matters a lot in deciding their extent of friendship. If two persons stay together, then they will have lot of disagreements, arguments and there will be practically no friendship. They will even start disliking each others actions and movements.
Consider another instance. If two persons who were close friends at some point of time have to separate, then their friendship will gradually lose that intimacy and after a period of time, it will be reduced to just an exchange of "Hi! How life" over emails once in a week or month. So, at any given point of time, virtually a person will never have the so called "true friend".
In this world, only money speaks. No one does anything for the other out of pure love or friendship. He/She does it only for the sake of getting back some favour one day. If he/she doesn’t get those expected favours, he/she feels disappointed.
Many youngsters who start going to colleges or stay away from home, look for a long lasting friendship with others, with whom they can share their fun, sorrows, jokes, etc. they want someone to whom they can trust their secrets. They need someone who can care for them, help them in all situations, etc. They start examining and evaluating others in their neighbourhood and start helping others so as to gain their attention and to find a friend. But very often, they are disappointed when they find that the friend they had trusted, turns hostile, or falls below their expectation in returning the favours. Sometimes this mistrust happens instantly and sometimes it may take lot of time. That is the reason why these poor chaps find themselves shifting from one friend to another, getting disappointed everywhere. They lose faith in others and start suspecting everything in the world. In some cases, it can go to extreme levels where they become a total skeptic of any guy/girl that they meet or who talks in a sweet manner.
I have some advice for all these heartbroken and disappointed students. I want them to know the meaning of friendship that I have stated before. First of all, do not have any expectation from anyone. Just remember that the person with you at the moment is the closest to you and is your friend. Just behave well with him and that's all. Expecting the same behaviour might result in a disappointment. And one should be careful to draw the line of trust between friends. One should not trust too much or reveal too many secrets to their pals.
If one wants to make friendship, one should create the need for him/her to the other person. For example, one can have the knowledge of some subjects that the other may not have and thus help him/her before exams. One can get the friends through money. One can have a good taste in shopping and thus have a demand for him/her during shopping. One can crack lot of jokes and make the conversation lively, thus pulling the other person. These all trivial things help you to avoid being alone and will always have someone with you. But again don’t make the mistake of conferring him/her as the status of a true friend. Friends exist as long as the demand exists. If you want someone to roam with you, you should have enough things with you to avoid getting the person bored.
Sometimes, rarely, it may happen that the friend becomes a true and ideal friend. But that is only the exception and not the rule. It might come as a bonus, when you don’t expect it.
