Quack! Online

The evening of Nov 14 brought with it TIP’s long awaited annual carnival. The theme, unexpectedly for some people, was ‘Arabian Desert Safari’. It was gutsy of TISF to carry on with the execution of the theme despite a lot of protests, confusion and even boycott threats, since many people believed that there wasn’t much they could do with such a boring theme.

One believes that the TISF did manage to pull off a tough theme such as this one quite well and made sure that most people had a good time. Personally, the best part was that this carnival was attended by a large number of Texperts compared to previous two years’ carnivals. One must admit that their presence not only brightened the event, it also brought back the nostalgia of their golden days spent with each other as well as with current students before they graduated.

With just a few comments that we gathered off the grapevine, Quack! invites you all to give your input as to what you liked best about the event, and vice versa. Read the rest of this entry »

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.

Life is a gift from God. A gift which we never request for, a gift which permits us to use it the way we want, a gift which significance is not realized by many of us and surely a gift through which we can decide about our destiny as well. Life is not a continuous process. It is limited in terms of time and opportunities. It is short and we have to obtain (what ever we want to), in this short span of time. Life is like a cricket game where you have to play each and every ball according to its merit. Life is a war and you have to struggle against the evil sources. Hence, life is a whole parcel of opportunities, desires and constant fighting between love and evil sources. Read the rest of this entry »

Democracy is a system which provides equal opportunities for every individual to grow with his/her own views, thoughts and style. It empowers people to change their leaders whenever they want to. It gives the freedom of speech and thought. Democratic governments are setup by the people, run by the people and can also be removed when needed by the people. Hence, democracy is all about what public want and what public don’t want. It is no doubt the best government system ever introduced and with its continuous success over the past few centuries, people have started believing in democracy in such a blind way that they rarely think about some other governance system. Amidst of all these pros of democracy, I would here like to put up a strange but different question in terms of Pakistan’s democratic performance in its past 60 years. My question is Do we deserve democracy? Do our illiterate people deserve free and fair elections? Is less corrupt military dictatorship not better than totally corrupt democratic governments?

Education is the theme for any nation’s prosperity and success. Today the countries which are ruling over the world had focused a lot on their education. Be it America, UK, Japan or China; the prime focus of all these developed nation was and still is education. But again, the question that pops up is, Does every educated person always behaves like an educated person? Read the rest of this entry »

No one around is happy with his or her life; everyone is on the verge to acquire more and more in life. Why can’t man be satisfied with whatsoever he or she has? This question triggers me every now and then. Why is that mankind is so much obsessed with himself that he doesn’t give a second thought to the relationships he is ruining every moment? We are egocentric, demented, and manic creatures on this world. Is this statement true? Or are we just being human, plain simple human beings? Read the rest of this entry »

We all are so concerned nowadays about being environmental  friendly more over, concerned of conserving things but belive me all this will never ever help neither you nor me. It will always some how or the other increase the crisis because the more you put your efforts to do so the more you will be requiring energy and the more energy requiring means more consumption and intake of diet.

So what will help us out of this situation. Is there any way? Can it be stopped by the world bank or some of those G8 members who are so concerned and are also facing these problems. The answer is NO they cant help you out! Well, then what will help us out?

I just focused on my daily routine and work that one performs and I was amazed to see that the day I woke up early and meditated, I felt more of in control of my diet and other work. I could feel the lightness, I could feel Read the rest of this entry »
