Pakistan's Youth - A false pretense (Part A)

Pakistan is a country that has always suffered from false hopes. Initially by the politicians and bureaucrats but now it is the youth that spreads propagandas at a level which, unfortunately, is not deserved. Well, I personally have no grudges against the youth, I have met few exceptional guys and girls lately but as I mentioned "FEW" not all. Pakistan and its people need to understand that every potential is not a potential that can elevate a character. We need to guide the youth, craft them, provide them with right kind of teachings and preachings instead of letting them do whatever they want to. And it also does not mean that we must force them to do something that either they don't want to do or something in which they cannot excel.

Few of the points that I have noticed in my virtual, professional and teaching career are stated as under; (apart from my personal observations, while traveling in a bus, attending a seminar or party etc)

Our youth never follows the queue
Is it really a big deal to stand in a line? Or is it really difficult to keep a line straight instead of a zigzag one? I have seen in many universities that instead of one proper queue, there are several scattered students forming a queue. This is the behavior of Educated Pakistan and not of those who belong to under or non-privileged groups. If the youth does not have the patience to keep the queue straight how on earth will it be able to straighten up the freaked out life and profession in future? Plus there are few, in fact many, who try to break the queue with either an excuse or attitude (both males and females).

Do they follow Rules?
Hello biker boys! And speedy Gonzales. I am sure every third person belongs to this category, call it anything, for instance, getting late for lecture, class or date the bottom line you speed up and break the signals. Don't you do it? Or haven't you done such things in last 5 days? It takes guts to answer truthfully.

Does your youth respect "Women"?
Today in Pakistan women are doing wonders. Gone were the days when women were not allowed to work or attend universities. These days (talking about the educated class) women are found in majority as compared to men in colleges, universities and offices. Few of the universities and offices have set a clause in their policy that 65% of the staff and students must be women to increase the ratings and standards of the organization and institute (personally witnessed). So in the era of such a womanizing period the youth (including boys and girls) do not pay the deserving regard to the women. Why? Youth is educated, sensible, mature and well groomed as per many think tanks and leaders. So what is the reason behind indecency and cheapness that is mostly witnessed by almost everyone on 14th August, New year eve, Basant or Valentine's Day?

Cars, Mobiles, Gaming lappies and Face book Pedias
Today's youth is surrounded by best gadgets and best available technology, that is the reason why it concentrates more on tangible things like cars, cell phones, lap tops and face book accounts etc rather than focusing on intangible thing things like honesty, character, virtue and success. Are parents and teachers providing too in comparison to what these youngsters actually need and are capable of getting? They prefer to spend hours and hours in front of their PCs (there is no harm in this, provided they do something fruitful and beneficial) just spending their time on Facebook, playing few stupid games there and liking posts and pages. Do you think this in any way will work? They want every luxury in their lives but they do not want to "work their bases off" to achieve them.

I am sure these are few of the traits which must be witnessed by my readers as well, I don’t think, I am the only one who noticed these things!

Soon, I will come up with few more examples to discuss them with you.

Take cares!

Bathroom Beauties - A facebook Ideology

“Heya Facebook freaks!” I am sure there must be millions who would reply to my “Hi” not because they know me or like me, but for the sake of keeping themselves in the FACEBOOK FRATERNITY. Lately I observed few things which I mostly used to see almost every day or every alternate day. It is nothing unusual (for many) but really UN-USUAL (for some). Have you ever thought why women mostly rush to washrooms when meeting their fiends, families and the special ones {yup “retards” for their (girl’s) charms – The spelled guys)}. NO! I don’t want you to think on those personal concerns. These days every woman or allow me to say girls, as few might mind me calling them women, have cameras or at least a nicer phones preferably iPhone in their bags. This helps them a lot to look good, fresh and more over click pictures – after all where else will they get the privacy to do few crazy stunts, without other noticing them in awe. Apart from all the motives, from where they get their new and much liked Display Pictures to upload at Facebook? 

The funniest part is, after uploading those pictures, their friends ask them from where they got the picture, most of the comments are like “the backdrop is just so amazing” – it is not over yet! Punch line is – after getting to know the location of the luxurious toilet, most try to visit there and get their shots as well. Guys this is not a joke, trust me there are many fanatics doing such things, just because they can show their pictures to their friends by standing in the washroom in front of large mirrors. The disease has now shifted from ONE PERSON SHOT to TWOSOMES, THREESOMES and even GANG of Power Puffed Ones clicking numerous shots. Be it wedding, party, coffee shop, restaurant or any other place where they can find a lavish wash-room, they can’t just keep their hands off their cameras. 

Is it something like Girls Only Look Great In Washroom? Not even On their Big Day?

For all those girls who usually comment in utter superiority that they have “high Standards” it is a wakeup call – Girls with high standards never indulge themselves in something like that! Give it a thought!

I completely don’t have anything against girls or their pictures, but I know one thing, if the same thing is done by a guy he will instantly become CHEAP and WEIRDO in the eyes of those girls.

Be blessed!

Keep smiling – and doing things by which other can smile as well.

Job Hunters, Can Now Do “WONDERS”

Job Hunters, Can Now Do “WONDERS”

SCENARIO

It's a norm these days that we often hear one statement from most of the people we come across – “Man! Market is very uncertain, I have no Job security..” or at times “Please pray for me, I think I am about to get laid off as many of my colleagues met the same fate last month”.

To be honest, one should accept this fact that deep down there, he is worried about the uncertainty of the so called market. Come on! We all know that recession has been there already and the else is just manipulated or better put as exploited. Even today in the midst of such a crisis one can find better to do – jobs. The point is how to be the one amongst the rest.

VICTIM

Since last month I have been attending quite a few parties and gathering. So, meeting some old friends from different phases of life is a usual thing. Five of my old acquaintances were laid off during that phase, belonging to different sectors, pharmaceutical, FMCG and IT. Four out of five are married and three out of four are fathers of sweet kids, by the grace of All Mighty. For them, losing their job was the biggest nightmare of their lives. They used to be down and gloomy, talking about the negative sides of the life, finding the darkness in the brightest moments of their lives. To be honest, if someone loses his or her job one fine morning – (which to most of us is an AILING end of the career), it's highly dreadful to think even. So there were many others too from the lot who suffered from the same tragedy.

SMART ONES

The phenomenon of INDIVIDUALITY is lovely – I personally love it, as every one thinks and implements as per his own way. Similarly, all the sufferers had to get back into the field by any how. They all chose altogether different approaches and manners to pull their socks up. It was then, when I personally realized that every one can bring the best out of the worst conditions, provided he/she is on right track and most of all focused. So, different approaches were adopted by the different friends of mine, they polished their skills to publicly promote themselves, in one way or the other, by being well witted, informative and expressive.

NETWORKING

Today if we talk about going out, meeting with people and having a good time at a friends’ place, it is considered as normality of life. But why don't we explore a new future through these activities. Target your employer, colleague or agent. Be pro-active! Hit it on the right joint by the very first impression. It's been ages since we are hearing “First Impression is the Last Impression”, when are we actually gonna implement it? Now is the time, same thing was done by my friend, he highlighted his own self by being RELEVANTLY TALKATIVE person amongst the crowd and he earned a good account, today he is on better job, then he was earlier.

(HR) HUMAN RESOURCE CONSULTANCIES (THIRD PARTY EMPLOYMENTS)

Today, third party is a commonly heard term – Third party logistics, Third party employers and Third Party Contractors etc. There are consultancies, which provide better solutions to the problems faced by jobless individuals. One of my friend approached to such consultancy, as per him, these consultancies are really very well-organized and can place the candidates on the right position. He soon got lucky, by being patient and consistent. He for sure has scored a good job through that. So these companies act as linkage and bridge between right human resources to the right work places.

INTERNET (ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORKING)

Facebook! Am sure the name rings so many bells in the mind, these days – Farmville, Scrabble, Mafia Wars and Texas Hold’em Poker – rite? But there are certain other things also, strictly for those who want to get a better future. There are so many plat-forms on face book, through which one can find better jobs. All that is required is to take interest and start applying through the help of such forums. These days LinkedIn is very popular and you can get the results in 2-3 months, provided you have right kind of people in your profile. It's been ages, that we known about the Rozee.com, but have we ever applied consistently for the jobs there? I don't think so; people got their dream jobs through it. Similarly my friends did get the job through on-line plat-forms. Many a times I myself got so many calls – with the help of the same site. It is advised to youngsters and those who want to either start or switch their jobs – they must try to understand the importance of technology and apply for jobs through such sites.

A LITTLE HELP FOR MY READERS – AT HOME

Something to work out for fresher, home based individuals and people who don't have much to do on their jobs – who want to do something small to earn side by side is elance and freelance. I will soon discuss some facts regarding this site also. Very beneficial for those who want to stay at home, yet want to earn good!

ALMOST FINAL WORDS

Well, there are a lot of uncertainties in one's life. Every one come across certain kinds of – what you may say – tight situations. But all that matters is, how are you treating your life? How much is one ready to stand up against that uncertainty? To make a different life, one has to start thinking differently and act differently. Everyone has the tendency to be successful – apart from Armani, Versace, Ford, GE and Birla we also have Mr. Tapal, Mr. Hashmi Surma wala, Students’ Briani,  Kolson and Mr. Abjani (An Inspiration)!
