Quack! Online

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.

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.

Like the first drop of rain that brings about a smile on a farmer’s face and that changes his life, the same feeling was seen in the eyes of the inhabitants of Machhar colony and Shireen Jinnah colony when those two drops of OPV were given to the little stars we have on earth.

The polio drive started on the 1st of July 2008 and ended on the 5th. The enthusiasm and the level of energy shown by the rotaractors were simply amazing. Although I was there only on the 4th of July, unfortunately I couldn’t come on the last day, but still, I was convinced that everyone over there was with the purest of intentions at heart and was willing to make difference in the lives of our people. There were members from various clubs since it was a joint club activity, rotaractors from the Cosmopolitan, Karsaz, TIP, Metropolitan, Szabist, Karachi Main and others participated with fervor and zeal.

The song that’s playing is Collapse the Light Into Earth by Porcupine Tree.

Love is a feeling rather it is a need for human to survive in this world. It is as much important as food and shelter. We love our parents, siblings, friends, relatives and sometimes those who has the same role in our lives as of Romeo and Juliet. Have you ever been in love with nonliving things? I guess we all sometimes start loving those objects which are materialistic or in other words lifeless. The same story is with our TIP campus and I realized this that how much I like my campus when I heard the news of attack on our beloved campus.

Since my admission, one of my fantasies is the romantic TIP main campus. Lush green grasslands, ever emotional lake, nostalgic corridors, crystal clear imported glasses, luxurious and well-maintained labs, expensive equipments and student’s cafeteria always filled with smiling young TIPIANS. In fact my campus was and still is a perfect place for romance-oh sorry! Read the rest of this entry »
