Mairaj Bin Waqar Banday

Dear Mairaj,

You know, we were suppose to get together on that picnic I was planning, by the beach. It would have just been like old time, in the hostel when I was in TIP. Looks like we’ll just have to meet in the sweet here after.

Love

Ali Hakeem

Our dear friend Mairaj Bin Waqar from TS3 passed away yesterday, September 26, ‘08 (26 Ramadan, 1429 A.H.) leaving behind only memories of his goodness, warmth, humility, and all the times he brought smiles on our faces.

He was traveling home to spend the end of Ramadan and Eid ul Fitr holidays with his parents in Lahore when he met a tragic accident on board his train. Shaikh Adil Fareed and Awab Ahmed were some of his friends traveling with him. Attempts were made to quickly transport him to a nearby hospital but he gave in to his injuries and died on the way.

We all pray to Allah to give his family and all his friend the courage to cope with his loss, and that he be granted eternal peace and tranquility on his heavenly abode.

Mairaj, Kahan chala gaya yaar? We miss you.

It is indeed a regret to say that the standard of NTS has fallen down to the worse. In the ‘Blue Book’ which I took in Common Wealth Scholarship 2009, there were questions wrongly written in the book, and many choices given were no less than blunders, especially in Analytical portion.

For instance the reprinting of same choice more than once in the same question, and in another question, all choices negated the fundamental clause of arguments, thus making the whole question unanswerable.

These instances completely defy the credibility of NTS. If possible, they should award full marks for all wrongly placed questions/choices in the exam sheet.

We all often use a lot of English words and terms during our Urdu conversations. This Urdu/English blend has become so common that we find ourselves unable to speak entirely in our national language, Urdu, when the need arises. Using English words when speaking Urdu not only affects the beauty and taste of both the languages, but also takes us farther from our own culture and heritage.

Literary Society, considering this declining trend of Urdu speaking and it’s diminishing vocabulary is organizing an event called “40 Sawaal” in which the Urdu meaning of 40 English words and textile terminologies will be asked from the ever-intellectual audience of TIP People with the correct answers will be given prize money on hand as well to encourage the use of Urdu.

Please be a part of the event. Participation is open for all the currently enrolled students, permanent and visiting faculty members, admin staff, peons and lab staff.

Date: 24th September (TISF slot)
Venue: Auditorium

Looking forward for your participation…

I’m writing this from my Marketing Manager’s office, who by the way is never around. My company wants to implement the concept of IE (Industrial Engineering) in their apparel manufacturing process, unfortunately it seems my Production Manager is more interested in increasing his productivity and getting his female workers to work harder. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying he’s all bad, he has managed to convince the company to install an air conditioned floor and has worked with Swedes, Sri Lankans and Chinese, set the company’s lines; it’s his insistence that internationally applied methodologies cannot be applied to our own industry.
