Socha Zaroory hai -

It sounds interesting to know about our ‘KARNAMAAS’ at times, such as in exams, while making a decision, reading a book or even getting knowledge from any source. We wait for best results - human nature!

You know what - Input always speaks.

It speaks very badly when it comes to output, see we always cry, blame our performance, who is responsible for such outcomes, the question is? Is Parhaa (teacher or guide) OR Parhoo (one who learns)?

None of them, Parhaee is main problem! Of course it should be, what an obsolete syllabi we have!

Teachers often quote Gandhi as ‘Become the change if you want to see in the world’ – Change my ‘foot’, we ain’t even progressing. Living in a stone age , with such conventional mindsets.

School stops our creativity contribute nothing in our grooming. It does not teach us take risks and make ‘wow’ out of everything.

Coming back to ‘Karnamas’ – the questions – can you become Edhi of Pakistan or can you bring the complete flavor of your own?

‘So believe in what you do and do what you believe in’.

Things will work in your way Inshallah!

Life - An experience shared

I am impressed by the kids on Geo TV who say ‘Bus Kardo Bus’ this phrase is really impressive! I hate politics, politicians but love talk shows on politics …


Dr. Shahid Masaud my inspiration, Talat Hussain a vibrant and impressive anchor!

I believe that Judges can only be restored on one condition.


When …


Zardari becomes Iftikhar Chaudry likewise Iftikhar Chaudry becomes Zardari! That’s impossible ..


My Mum says I used to cry in school a lot and never wanted to go. I still remember when my dad used to make me sit on his shoulders and take me to school bus. Ohh God!

I believe that school friends are the best friends and you have them forever and I am happy indeed that I still have them!


Here, I would like to categorize some periods of my life.


Visionless Life!


Walking back in my past, I always remain absent when my tutor was present. Cricket was my passion, my heart and soul was cricket! The whole world from east to west and south to north was cricket. I used to eat bat and drink ball after every meal.


My Mom and Dad are impressed by doctors; they always wanted to see me as doctor. I got 79.5% marks in the medical entrance test but last seat went on 80.00%. I thank Allah for not getting into in this field.

Islamabad is the most boring yet very beautiful place I have ever seen in my life. I took an immature decision by taking biosciences right after my intermediate.


After that BBA was chosen, because everyone was taking BBA I thought of joining it too. Followed others!

People who miss chance miss everything in their lives. Don’t miss the chance I suggest

Sometimes, a‘by chance act’ changes the way you look at things.


IYJ (International Youth Jam) gave me good friends, still have them. I would like to thank Haya, Sundus and Beenish who cemented my thought to have trust in people in general and in them specific.

I sensed a paradigm shift.


Life with vision!

I recall the first time I heard the word ‘Vision’ was during Young Leaders’ Conference. ‘Baths are the same way but take a good bath everyday is nice idea’ I bathed every minute during the conference. Washed the partly black shaded and partly white shaded person inside me! I had vision and my thoughts were crystal clear when I left YLC.


Golden Period

It feels great when you become a teacher in front of those who remained your teachers in past and feel happy when they listen to you carefully. The same, I experienced while conducting a workshop an year ago where my participants were my school teachers.


And when my thoughts got cemented!

Kodar Bala (Mansehra) the lush green, beautiful place on the surface of earth made me realize that life I am living still had colors. Its is the place where I found a pearl that still shines. Her shine at the same time shines my life, gives me a reason to live and therefore act.


When people misunderstood me!

It is the time when same people whom I called ‘the near and dear ones’ and began misunderstanding me. The time when mindsets of same people started getting narrowed. ‘Sanu ki’ attitude was being practiced during time.


The moment I understood love!

The purest and noblest relation, where you get the power of imagination!

…. Imagination continues!!


Conclusion ...


Leading life with a vision is like

Driving a car with the full tank of fuel in it.

I visualize my acts, dreams and my position in future!

Think, Re-think and Trust the ' YOU'


Life is trust! Remember ‘Trust’ can take you far away! We often travel to the road untraveled, and observe the unobserved. But you know what life once explored can make you move mountains.

Why do we have to look at others and their lives?

Do we have to be like them?

Is it necessary to keep track of everything people do?

Is comparison necessary?

Why do we copy others?

Is copying other just a trend that we will fall through if we don’t follow?

Can we believe in ourselves and create our own world where in we design the codes, follow the rules and be on the track always.

The life where one discovers the ‘Khudi’.


Are we capable to design our own world?

Do you think its possible?

Or one can give up, sit and just think, re-think and do nothing and expect a miracle to change everything around in just a glimpse of eye.

The question is why do we anticipate the miracle?

Is this the world we design?

Irony! Such a weak point, most of Pakistani brothers are losers and follow shortcuts for everything, I mean literally for everything. Duh!!

I know, those who are reading must be mocking, joking, laughing, and considering it a crap – let them ‘Sano kee’ but it’s fact. Believe in it or leave it.

I trust that you will keep on reading this; I bet most of you actually are! Lol-

is it helping?

Why don’t we nudge the person inside us and ask why has he/she come in this world??

Can we do this??

What the hell is wrong with us?? or ME:s

Why do I keep on writing?

Am I now understanding

· Life?

· World?

· Family?

· Friends?

Why is the word ‘trust’ popping up in my mind over and over?

Do School, College, University matter in life?

Can we dive into our deep thoughts and think of above factors?

All of above have got no value – seriously no value at all - because they snatch I from ‘Me’ and limit my creativity. They take away we from ‘US’ and give back nothing, make us less-confident, scare us and shrink ‘OUR’ lives to minimum.

Why don’t we wake up and take charge of life?

Does it really matter, I repeat?

Think, Re-think . . .
