Sindh Provincial Youth Convention.    I had a chance to represent my university at the first ever Sindh provincial youth convention at the Karachi University. The event was held in the arts auditorium of the KU from 9 th February to 11 th February. The mega event, that it was, attracted lots of media attention as well as comments from various circles of the society. It was organized with the active help of HEC in order to select student representatives from provincial level to represent Sindh at the annual youth convention in Islamabad.    The event was a very interesting affair as far as I was concerned. We were invited on a very short notice and very few details as to the format of the event were made available. So much so that the themes for the convention were revised on the very last day. I was a part of a three member team sent the the way of Karachi University for the convention. None of us was in a very declamatory mood thus we decided to k...

   The untimely and sad demise of Juniad's khala at a tender young age is sad and awakening. This reminds us that life is indeed very short and there is good great deal to accomplish so we need to hurry up and spread as much love and happiness as we can. In this way there will be no remorse left behind.

   The name is a source of identity for an individual for an object and even for a group. It is near and dear to anything it belongs. We are in search of a name for our yahoo group. Suggestions are welcome from everyone. Try to think of names that are not common. Few suggestions are as follows: 1- Kashif of Vispurz suggests: VaLCeNaTi VaLeTiF Dirigeants. 2- Hussain of Bulub suggests: fugit hora >> Latin for time flies                                            fiat lux >> Latin let there be light                                            alexipharmak...

Guys there is a rumor in the air that Akunet is going to provide us free internet from February next year. How good is this. I say awsome I can't wait to be in February.

Most of my hostellite friends will find this news very upsetting. Finnish police have raided a famous bit torrent weebsite and have brought it down. Along came some 30 moderators. The rounding up mission was construed because these networks are used to share files that have been illegally copied. Screw all these authorities. Link Via Metafilter

Goodbye Lenin The movie was superb. Though the movie chose to deal with the changes taking place after the fall of the Berlin wall in a comic manner, the message about the confusion in the minds of the older generation was very clear. The reality was much worse than that and a huge majority of party members and the older genration simply couldnt reconcile to the fall of communism. There was this pervasive despondency and sense of failure; a high unemplyemnet rate all leading to an alarmingly high rate of suicide especially among the professional middle class. Anybody who is interested in the history of communism and the plight of party members after its fall, should read this novel, Fear of Mirrors. The author is of Pakistani origin but displays a tremendous command over the events that shaped the last century. It is a great read. I loved that scene in which the mother leaves the apartment building and a statue of Lenin is being carried away by a helicopter. The scene was intense; it i...

Happened to drop by 4th Kara Film Festival this Friday along with the rest of the bunch. two movies were aired in the prime time that day. The first one was from Iran and not interesting at all. Enough said about this one we move to the second movie of the night. This movie came all the way from Germany. Started rather ordinarily but turned into an interesting watch fifteen minutes into the movie. It dealt with the immediate post cold war era in Germany when the wall had fallen and communism disappeared into the overwhelming wave of capitalism thus bewildering many in the process. The movie deals with the change at a more personal level and in a very delicate way. Tells us that both systems of governance are rather false and try to keep the people in a false hope of progress and security. All in all it was a movie worth the money we paid for.

In my opinion, the Aga Khan Board is a step in the right direction. All of us, who are the products of the F.Sc. system bear witness to the fact that the current system is outdated and inadequate to meet the needs of the modern era. The syllabus is decades old and unfortunately its revision is in the hands of those, who want us to be taught the same way they were taught. The entire education system is about to collapse and there is no hope for a change, the way things are going. In this scenario, the establishment of this board is like a breath of fresh air. As far as the maulvis are concerned, let them have their fun. It is their life mission to turn non-issues into issues. If they have the balls, why don't they target Mushy over the uniform issue. I sincerely hope that Mushy and his team of corps commanders do not backtrack like they did on the blasphemy law procedural changes issue.

Guys you need to watch this. This is simply hilarious.

We have been hearing a lot of fuss about the Aga Khan educational board and the radical change that it will bring into the education system of the country. I personally don't have any opinion at present but it seems that some of the people outside the campus are quite vocal about it. Just five minutes ago there was an announcement on the loudspeakers being carried on the back of a vehicle that warned the people of the adverse consequences of accepting the board in our educational system. There has been wall chalking on all the walls near our university that outright condemns the creation of such a board.

I have been under attack of a flu epidemic in the region. This is the worst disease to have. Really cuts every neuron in the brain so that you are left with nothing but confusion and restlessness. On top of all this is the compunding effect of undone work.

I am sick and tired. I am sick and tired of introducing to you newcomers to this blog. I am sick and tired of introducing to you those newcomers who make a single post and then disappear for good. I sincerely hope Murtaza here will not do this. He is one chap full of spirit and the will to keep things moving no matter how adverse the circumstances. So murtaza buddy let it go_let it go wild into the cyperspace.
