Everything; made in Pakistan!

{Inspiration of this post came from one of my office colleague}

The match we fire to burn; is made in Pakistan

The Car we burn; is made in Pakistan

The one( s ) who do the “honors”; are born in Pakistan (Pakistani)

The one who’s car is burned; is born in Pakistan (Pakistani)

The one who become happy (on this); is born in Pakistan (Pakistani)

The gun you use; is made in Pakistan

The bullet you fire; is made in Pakistan

The bomb you explode; is made in Pakistan

The person who’s killed; is born in Pakistan (Pakistani)

The killer; is born in Pakistan (Pakistani)

The house we burn; is ‘in’ Pakistan

The shop/Factory/Fuel Station/restaurant we demolish; is in Pakistan

The one who cry; is born in Pakistan (Pakistani)

The one ( s ) who protest; are born in Pakistan (Pakistani)

Yet we are proud Pakistani!

I could have quoted the above as Muslims but (nauzubillah!) in my dictionary few characters above are not eligible to be titled as Muslims, being a Muslim is something very precious, my serenity doesn’t even allows to call them “Human Beings”.

howz that!

Business! ; Second name Jugar

Well yesterday I was coming back from Namaz and met my fathers friend, after a short interview covering what I am doing and all, I told him I am doing job at MIC and about my job responsibilities … he passed a comment … well that was not on me … generically he said that smart people do business but there are many intelligent people who do job and set there maximum limit.

Well that was his point of view but my point of view is that Business is all about taking Risk. An intelligent person will always play safe and will never make any risky move where as a when ever you apply any jugar there is always some percentage of risk in it, so a jugari always take risk ….. this concludes that business is a game of jugars …. The best jugari you are the best you can excel in business

simple!

add your opinions to it!

Well em “IN” at CBM.

After a year it’s pretty uncomfortable to sit again on the plastic students chairs as now em use to sit on luxurious chairs at office, again pacing up to use PEN instead of a keyboard.

Well up till now it’s going cool! the students are of different age levels …. everyone is doing job or business …. Once again these statements frequently come in our discussion …..”Ajj Quiz na ho!” …. Arrey yaar! “Yeh Assignment bhi kerna hai” ….. ik kam ker, tu keeer lay “main chaap lung ga!”

About teachers there is a bit uncertainty but this will be clear after MID 1 :-P ….. most of them emphasize on your speaking, they make you to speak; speak what ever you like!

Last Saturday ( 7 June 2008 ) I had my first presentation in Business Communication Class, it didn’t went well but everyone appreciated and I got 4.5/5 …. :S (teacher is good, always appreciative and highlight you areas of improvement)

In short “It’s a new world; It’s a new start” —- lets see agay agay hota hai kia! — have to submit Accounting and Business Communication Assignments on coming Saturday … MAAZ bhaiiiiiiii … direly need you! … em also searching another place like nabeels home to do some combine masties …. Oh! I mean studies (A)

Aur Baaal banaoon kis k liyee …..

I am sure this is a catchy topic and everyone will read it at least once …. Well it’s about me like always. It’s about my style in an OFF day. I hardly get any holiday, always try that each and every day should have something to do that’s why I am always in mood to remain engage in any activity instead of staying at home. Monday till Friday critically engage in office work and “Sunday Bazaar” on Sundays. Mostly Saturday is also booked in some office work.

Luckily if I get any holiday; that day, I have a different style…

1.       All day in night suite – no changing clothes even if there is any plan to hang-out with friends – who cares!

2.       No Brushing teeth (ager kahin jana perh jaee tao YES!) ……. Badboo tao na aye! ;)

3.       No Hair Styling……. Wasey hi baal kaaam hain :$

Fulltime mast malang b/c jab kahil jana nahin kisi nay ana nahin tao why to sit dressed up.  I don’t know if n e one else has the same nature but I am like this and that’s how I like it!

Chutti full time!

An unforgettable experience!

I would rather call it a horrible night or a terrible experience. I can never forget those moments, in one night I; myself have experienced the “law of jungle” where the people were frightening others as it is some kind of a golden chance for them to exhale their anger and at the same time this was a moment of fun for couple of sick n crazy people. My wallet, Mobile got snatched by a group of gangsters. My loss was hardly of Rs:5000(though it is a big amount for me coz i know how much its challenging to earn), but what I saw was something at the extreme of evilness; dozens of cars totally burned on the roads, small glass pieces spread around, hundreds of tyres burned. I don’t call these evils “Human Beings”. They are ‘PIGS’ {the worst title I can give to them …..}

On 27th Dec 2007 I was coming back to home after an interview for MBA at Szabist, I got stuck in a critical traffic jam at ‘Shahrah – e – Faisal’. I thought it might be coz of arrival of PrimeMinister or President to Karachi. I drove my car towards M.A Jinnah Road. When I reached Mazar-e-Quaid I saw petrol pump is sealed which gave me an idea that something unnatural has happened in Karachi. I turned the car toward ‘GuruMander’, when I reached the roundabout of ‘GuruMander’ I saw the smoke clouds, I quickly turned the car toward ‘3-hatti’ after looking at traffic jam there I turned towards ‘Purani-Sabzi-mandi’ then ‘Agha Khan Hospital road’. At Agha Khan I got stuck in the traffic {Bumper to Bumper JAM}. After the efforts of 04 hours moving at the speed of snail I finally reached near Expo Center. There I heard in FM that people are burning cars near ‘LalooKheet’ and It was impossible to cross that road safely. I decided to go to a friend’s place at ‘Gulshan’ but when reach at ‘Bait-ul-Mukaram Mosque’ I saw car burning near Sir Syed University I quickly turned the car in the streets. As I am not aware of places and residential planning in Gulshan after roaming in the street of Gulshan approx one hour more I finally reached the street of my friends home where I was supposed to go but I saw a group of people standing and on the road not moving forward and if there is something wrong going …. I parked my car and walked towards that group of people. When I reached there they surrounded me; they were 15 to 20 mad people having sticks {danday} in their hands and snatched my mobile and wallet.

The snatchers were a bit kind as I requested them to give me my SIM and wallet back as both were not of their use and they returned them to me. Then I requested to give me my mobile back as this is the only thing by which I can contact my family, they didn’t returned it back but gave me a cell phone after that I again requested them to give me some money to reach home, so they gave me 200bugs.

After that I came back towards my car, was standing in a worrying mood, an uncle {I don’t know as if he appeared as an angel} asked me ’son why u r standing here’ …. ‘From where u are coming n what is ur destination’. I told him the whole story, he said that nothing to worry, park your car in front of my house as the street has security guards on both sides, then he insisted to come for dinner to his place and spent night at his home. After the dinner my friend Maaz called me and told me that he has reached home and the streets are clear now, I switched to his place and spent night there.

Early in the morning I came back to home, when I was on ma way I saw some miserable views. How come the people can treat their own country so badly? Why they claim themselves Muslims?

Allah sab ko apni hifz-o-amaaan main rakhee … aur in jalgliyoon ko hidayat dey …. amen!

Here special thanks to couple of friends n relatives who strongly gave me courage to stay confident in this critical moment….

The Angel Family who allowed me to park my car in there street and offered me dinner and bed{no one does this nowadays}.

Maaz and his cousins …. spent night at his place

Munir, Taimoor, Rakesh, Nabeel for sending the mobile credit

My mamu, mami, Chachooz, antys & cousins for staying continuously in contact with me and giving courage to my family.

FM107 for continuously updating people about the situation in different areas in Karachi

Bolaaay tao …. MyType!

I was un-employed from the past two months. Initially I was good to take some rest at home give time to your family but after a week at max I felt that I am not remained more then a Sabzi-fruit fetcher. Gradually things started to convert from peaceful life to frustrating situation. Mean while I got couple of offers but the pay scale was very low but after 2 months when everyone started insisting me to get in somewhere I joined FND Consultancy Engineering. I joined there as my thought was that after an experience of a year I can start my own small business/projects but as this firm provides a total building solution therefore Mechanical engineers play a very important role in it and I don’t know even ABC of mechanical. Plus the job was quiet boring; you are stick to an auto cad drawing for months planning the electrical/data/voice networks following IEEE and IET standards and for that lot of reading is involved.

 

When I joined there, the first day I came to know from Munir Memon that there is a vacancy at MIC {Microsoft Innovation Center} and the job is of my type …. Now what is my type, I’ll explain later. (A)

 

I gave the interview, selected for the post and am serving at MIC.

 

MIC is basically the 2nd in Asia and I guess 72nd in world. The basic objective of MIC is to provide a communication medium b/w the End user and solution provider. I have explained this in a line but you can write a novel on it.

There is a research center loaded with hi-fi and latest equipments along with a server room based on Intel Standards.

Not where am I in it! ….. good question! :P

My part here is to manage all the activities which come under the domain of MIC, from trainings to workshops , seminars to MIC internal office matters I am the owner of all (my boss says ;) ). Basically it’s a dynamic work {my type!} in which you interact with the cream of IT World plus it includes managing part… and its ma passion! Special thankx to munirus for providing the opportunity. :P

That’s why it’s … my type! … samja kia!

‘Happy Ramadan’ …. Really!

Why happy Ramadan?

Was going to office on bus I saw a man carping with the Bus condector on some ticket issue and said “Rooza hai mera dimagh short nahin kerna!” …. Rooza hai tao kia hua …. ensaan ker rahay hoo kisi per? Jee nahin … it’s an order! Order of Allah for all Muslims.

After that in Sunday Bazar {@ stall} I estimated that around 40% of stall holders were not in Fasting mode. The reason that they give is; its quiet tough to setup and stand on a stall in fasting mode …. So what! If 60% of the people can … then why u cant? Not only this, they give 100z of excuses in there defense. Even sometimes they make this deed a symbol of pride for them.

This year I noticed that almost 3/5 restaurants are open in Ramadan … why?? Can’t they just sacrifice for only one month? After questioning “Chaaai Wallaa” at Sunday bazaar he replied that since there is demand for the tea … that’s why em selling it …. No demand no tea (supply).

Why we have kept religion aside from our life?

Ramadan is a month of sacrifice, self control, tolerance. Its is basically a month to practice all these things and keep practicing them round the year … and what we do! 

There are many other things which we should avoid in this mubarak month but we don’t. 

Dear Muslims, Just think about it!

Mission JOB – Accomplished!

Well starting from Avanza Solutions (Software House) ….. then GR Mirza Group of Companies (Car Tracking) …. then Shoot At Sight (Event Management) … then Entity Equity Trust (Banking) …..  then TRG (Resource Group) …..then ELFY (Hydraulic Cranes)…….. then Gerry’s Net (ISP) ….. …… then AMFCO ….. then TPS (Software House) ……. then City FM89 (Radio Station) …… all this ended up at FND Consultancy Engineering.

FND is basically Fahim Nangi and deSouza Consultancy Engineering. It’s a company which provide a complete building solution (consultancy). From all electric/voice/data networks to HVAC and LIFTS …… they provide solution for all of it. I will publish the details later on. They have hired me on 3 months probation as Assistant Project Engineering. Uptill now the job is a bit boring. For everything you have to read stuff like catalogues, datasheets, standards etc and I always used to stand miles away from reading :-D …. But now as this is the requirement of job so I have to! :S

So this is it … though it is not a telecom job but at least it’s a job! :-D seriously you can’t feel the tough time that I have spent in past 2 months at home searching job …. Though I got couple of offers from few companies that I have mentioned above but the work was not interesting.

Finally I got a start! I am satisfied b/c I got it without any reference/perchi or any source ….. and this aspect builds self confidence in you.  Wishing best of luck to all my batch mates :-)
