Wladysław Turowicz – The Polish Hero of Pakistan’s Air and Space Program

In 1948, as Europe struggled after World War II, forty-five Polish officers and scientists came to Pakistan to help build its young armed forces.

Among them was Wladyslaw Jozef Marian Turowicz, a brilliant aeronautical engineer who would become a national hero in his adopted country.

Turowicz joined the Pakistan Air Force as chief scientist. He set up technical institutes, trained fighter pilots and introduced new technologies.

His rise was swift, by 1952 he became Wing Commander, in 1959 Group Captain, and just a year later, Air Commodore. He also played a crucial role in keeping the PAF strong during the 1965 war when spare parts from abroad were cut off.

But Turowicz’s greatest contribution came in 1966, when he convinced President Ayub Khan to start Pakistan’s space programme.

Working with Nobel laureate Dr Abdus Salam, he laid the foundation for the country’s rocket and missile technology. As head of SUPARCO, Turowicz turned Pakistan into one of the earliest countries in Asia to test and launch rockets.

Unlike most of his colleagues who returned to Poland, Turowicz stayed in Pakistan with his wife and three daughters. His wife Zofia taught gliding and science and their children also made Pakistan their home.

Turowicz died in a car accident in Karachi in 1980, but his service was honoured with full military funerals and the nation’s highest awards, including the Sitara-e-Pakistan, Sitara-e-Imtiaz, and Sitara-e-Quaid-e-Azam. Today, his name lives on at the PAF Museum and the SUPARCO Space Complex in Lahore.

From a war-torn Poland to the skies of Pakistan, Turowicz’s story is one of loyalty, brilliance and a lasting legacy that still shapes the nation’s defence and space programme.

The Monk Garden: Reviving Centuries of Healing in Suburban Berlin

Some distance from Berlin’s suburbia, a garden caught in a time warp can be found.

Here, in a remote corner blanketed with soft hedges, the slow pace of life tells the story of the garden that Martin Rotzel has been tending to.

Rotzel dubs it the Monk Garden and to him it’s the same as stepping into an ancient story book.

Familiar, yet distant scents waft from the tall herbs that sway in the soft breeze, as if from a different time and place.

What modern shopping centers in Germany would call ‘grocery plants’, trees with bitter leaf edges and gnarled stemmed trees would be viewed as exotic.

Rotzel is not an eccentric plant collector, but is on a quest to reconstruct Europe’s amnesiac past.

Monastery herbs and gardens were a source of sustenance, herbal medicine and advanced pharmacy medicine in Europe, with a deep and ancient wisdom of healing through invaluable herbs, roots and healing flora.

In nurturing those herbs, he is gently reviving traditions that shaped the roots of Europe.

To him it is a living classroom and a peaceful refuge. Those who visit are not merely strolling beside the plants, for the tales of feverish tea brewing monks, musky oil pressing monks, meditative monks and grounded earth tending monks fill the air.

In the center of Berlin's modern suburbs, Rotzel has built a place where history grows leaf by leaf.

His Monk Garden is more than just a piece of earth, it is an actively growing bridge between the sacred wisdom of the past and what may only be slowly yet surely emerging through an awakening of the value of slowness, nature and care.

Pakistan sealed their place in the T20 tri-series final with another commanding 31-run victory against the United Arab Emirates in Sharjah on Thursday.

Batting first after skipper Salman Ali Agha won the toss, Pakistan posted 171, led by Fakhar Zaman’s explosive 77 off 44 balls. In reply, the UAE managed 140, falling short of the target for the second time in the tournament.

Spinner Abrar Ahmad was the star with the ball, taking 4 wickets for just 9 runs in his 4 overs, earning him the Man of the Match award.

The win mirrors Pakistan’s earlier 31-run triumph over the UAE last Saturday. Having also beaten Afghanistan in the series opener, Pakistan have now secured their spot in the September 7 final.
