Blood is life and life is blood. We can live without water and food but we can never live without a certain amount of blood circulating in our body. This red liquid, if lost, can bring living human to death and the same liquid, if inducted, can bring a dying patient closer to life and existence. Donating blood is donating an amount of your precious life which can actually bring a change in someone else’s life. For the love and care of humanity, Rotaract Club of Textile Institute of Pakistan organized a blood camp on 3rd November 2008 at Bin Qasim campus.

And it leaves me with nothing more to explain further on the issue. Your comments are most welcome…

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.

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…

Literary Society of TIP
(A Step Towards Evolution)

Our Society, nowadays, is suffering from all kinds of challenges. From food crisis to economic problems, we have been put into a situation where majority doesn’t have the money to buy necessary foods items. Moreover, society’s bad environmental conditions are playing a critical role in increasing various diseases and health problems. Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT) was established to help poor people get cheap/free kidney transplants and similar treatments. For this purpose, SIUT has always looked towards the middle-class and rich people to donate for this cause. Considering this, Rotaract Club of Textile Institute of Pakistan (TIP), kept its tradition by launching a funds collection campaign from 8th September to 12th September.

The 20 excited Tipians, who had come to volunteer the TIP Punjab Admission Test which scheduled on Sunday 27th July at APTMA House Lahore, had to leave immediately as the examination centre was getting overcrowded.

A total number of 7 students out of the 10 students who had applied for the Test appeared at the examination centre.This number has decreased from the 40 students who apeared for the test last year. Cool, isn’t it?

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.
