Sometimes smallest of actions are far better than noblest of intentions. Boring Sunday afternoon and I logged in to Twitter account. Usual tweets and I was getting boring. Suddenly tweet came with a hashtag #AwesomePakistaniThings. @Aadii_ (Adeel Asad) started the hashtag followed by @Amnaa_tariq,@yousufrafi , @Tayyibai Tayyiba Iram , @taalz (Talal Masood) , @babushka99 (Faisal Khan).
There have been talks about the latest gossip and controversy surrounding Maya Khan where she was finding dates at parks proving that she must have done the same when she was 20 that should be like a good 40 years ago. When I was checking my Twitter timeline I assumed she had done something similar to The Veena Jee but as it turns out Maya Khan has crossed not a thin but a thick line.
Dating in parks has been common since I can imagine. It got to that level where bushy trees were cut in some parks when there were random aunties screaming when they found a girl and a boy sitting and eating biscuits. Like seriously? You can do that publicly as well, why hide?

10) Give back: Charity doesn’t always have to be money
Help someone with what you know best. Give good advice when asked. Be there for someone in need. Sometimes all it takes is a sympathetic ear!
9) Forgive everyone! Live freely
Studies show that people who forgive are happier and healthier than those who hold resentments.
8 ) Don’t sweat the small stuff: And its all small stuff.
Don’t sweat on small stuff Ask yourself “Would it matter a year from now?”
7) 1 hour for yourself
Spent some time alone… In this time Pray – Meditate – Read – Exercise – Play

If you thought innovation was a word not associated with Pakistan, you would be very wrong. This year, the MIT Technology Review, one of the world’s most prestigious technology publications, included Pakistani Dr Umar Saif, in their global list of the top 35 innovators under 35.
Thirty-two year old Saif, currently an associate professor at the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), now shares this honour with an elite club including, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook, Jonathan Ive of Apple, and the co-founders of Google, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Gadi Chalana is a complex physical and mental operation. Not only does it require coordination, it also requires rapid assessment skills and good judgment. Companies have spent decades making cars easier and safer to drive, installing everything from rearview mirrors to automatic transmissions. Despite that, some drivers insist on creating distractions for them behind the wheel, most of which have nothing to do with driving, safe or otherwise.

Successful leaders know how to define their mission, convey it to their subordinates and ensure they have the right tools and training needed to get the job done, Imran Khan proved himself again and again to lead without a title. With these 10 qualities Imran Khan laid down the path of truth, sincerity and vision.
10) Hardwork
Imran Khan started his carrier as a medium bowler. The coach said Imran due to your complex bowling action you will never become a fast bowler. Imran Khan trained for 6 consecutive years and result was emerging fast bowler from Pakistan. This is called hard work.
9) Courage
Before laying down foundation of Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital Imran Khan consulted 20 doctors who were specialist in the filled of Cancer. 19 of them said this hospital is impossible to make. Imran Khan ignored and made the hospital. This is called courage.
8 ) Vision
Imran Khan invited well known professors from UK and USA to discuss plan to open a university in Pakistan. They all said it’s impossible. Imran Khan ignored them all and this gave birth to NAML University (which is now considered as one of the best universities of the world.). This is called Vision.
Once wise man asked a blind man, is there anything worse than losing eye side? Blind man said yes worst thing is losing Vision.

“Bigg Boss mei kya hua… Kon nikla… tum ne dekhta wo kesay larh rahi thi…” Sound familiar is it? Yes that’s the name of the game which gets on air every night on our local tv channel with an aim to destroy cultural and moral values of youth in Pakistan.
Every night when I go back home or every morning when I come to work there is the same discussion going on. Bigg Boss mei kya hua? Bigg Boss mei kon nikla? Bigg Boss to interesting ho gaya hai….
Bigg Boss is a reality show from India where one of the cheapest celebrities from India gets selected as contestants and stays in a single house for about three months, with no connection to the outside world. They are overseen by a mysterious person known as ‘Bigg Boss’, whose only presence in the house is through his voice.

Just had an experience with a famous broadband service provider which made me think: Is Customer service really that important? While working in Tohfay.com I learned that customers are our greatest asset. If you treat your Customers well, they will boost your sales to a phenomenal level.

2 months earlier I purchased internet broadband with this company for my cousin and there was a FREE giveaway flash drive offer going with every connection. Told the sales person while he was deploying the connection “How can I get the FREE flash drive?” reply came “You can pick it up from our Clifton outlet.” I said okay will pick it up later.

Why do some people get satisfied by proving others wrong? This is the way of the world. Likewise, by seeing others suffer we feel thankful for our good fortune. Shakespeare in his famous play Romeo and Juliet declares, ‘One fire burns out another’s burning, one pain is lessen’d by another’s anguish’. Seeing others fail makes you think that your failure is not that huge. The dreadful feeling that you get after you fail falters when you see other’s fall down, the feeling just disappears.
Thinking about yourself but keeping other’s interest at heart should be our priority. Of course, you have to think about yourself but glancing if the other person is doing well can be done too.
In a perfect world, anyone can be faultless but the world is not perfect, the people are not perfect, thus you just have to try your best, be thankful for what we are. Even when we ask our parents for something, they tell us to look at the people below us, and BE THANKFUL for what we already have. What does below us mean? More like who are not that rich? Probably, those people are happier because they do so much effort, but are patient, because God will give them more.

Disconnecting people
Who could imagine that in just few seconds your new Nokia will be snatched? Who could imagine that sometimes it’s difficult for people to choose between their cell phones or their lives? Mobile snatching is so common now days in Pakistan. It’s not just that people are actively committing this crime, it’s because they are backed up with police to help them out. New advancement in mobile snatching is snatching in a bus.
