It is said that a child is the future of a nation that leads the upcoming generation into a positive destination. The destination can be their journey in which they build up or find out their dreams. Their dreams can be their wishes. In the wishes, they try to select their fields. Fields make them reach their goals finally.

            As William Wordsworth explains rightly, " A child is the father of the nation." It is observed that Balochistan is full of talented children who have such ability to show or perform their performances well. But, they need the support, encouragement, motivation, and leadership of their leaders. Sadly, It is explained that these wonderful children are not being supported politically and socially. They wish to find out their dreams to stand in the front line of their nation as well as to lead their society positively. 

            Recently, an incident happened to a well-talented Baloch child who sings Balochi songs wonderfully. The child belongs to Mondi, the nearest area of district Gwadar has appeared in the surrounding picnic points to sing songs and takes some money from the listeners which can be in the shape of income for his life. In other words, he mostly sings Balochi songs with his attractive voice. He is about 14 years old as well.

            According to this child, once who sang songs in the around of Mondi's jangles where also Jameel Ahmed Baloch, (was the Captain retired Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Gwadar) came for a picnic or visiting when he listens to his charming voice, he invites him to his circle (picnic point) to compel him to sing a song. When he sings, then DC became inspired by his wonderful voice and gives 2000 thousand rupees to him and called him to appear one day in his office.

            So, after some days, when he went to Deputy Commissioner's office, where he was given 3000 rupees and Mr. Jameel Ahmed also took his educational responsibility to send him to Quetta for getting education. When he heard this news, he became too excited as well. But, after some days, he again appeared in front of the DC's office, then he misbehaved and the gatekeeper scolded him that the previous DC has changed and another DC has been appointed newly. He became disappointed and returned back to his house pityingly and his hopes scattered as well as affected his talent. He loves music, and his language but lacks supporters and motivators. It is mentioned that talent does not need any age, but needs encouragement and guidance.

            On the other side, once again, his videos and pictures have appeared on social media singing songs in the surrounding picnic points to make entertain the people. He is appeared to show his performance and everyone wishes to listen to his attractive voice. When I myself saw his videos which were circulating on social media (Facebook) where he was complaining to the administrator of Gwadar that he has been ignored and is being disappointed by authorities. Also, the public was reacting negatively to the concerned authorities regarding this matter.

            As a listener of his attractive voice, it is requested to Jameel Ahmed Baloch fulfill his wishes once you promised him for taking responsibility for his education. Because he expects something more from you as well as one day he becomes a well-known singer for his nation.
