From Passion to Practicality

What happened in between my previous blog and this blog? I failed my interview of Hydrogeologist in B. WASA, though I was confident that I will make it through, but I failed, the astonishing thing is that the one who has been selected shared his concerned about the questions asked in the interview and was afraid that those question was not relevant. Whereas I was sure of my answers in interview. Study: I couldn’t complete my M. Phil in due time, I have taken extension now, just started writing my thesis. Started it from sedimentology chapter, the most important of them all. Work: 9:30 am to 7:30 pm work time, giving my 100% at work, nothing bothers boss, still complains at occasions, never appreciates, will take credit of good work, complain about anything less than good.  “My craze for work has never faded and never it will”. Haji Waseh (Boss & Uncle) and me both are developing interest in Cars, with implementation of Auto policy 2016-2021 which has resulted

Life at 26

My last blog was posted in January 2017. Eight months have been passed. Its 10 th of Muharram the day when Shiite Muslim mourns the dreadful demise of Hazrat Imam Hussein. Its 2: 30 in afternoon at my Office (Ravi Center, Quetta) I just finished my work and started writing this piece. 2017 isn’t year of great achievements for me so far, but it can be as I am waiting for my interview which is to be conducted by Baluchistan Public service commission, I passed the test conducted for the post of Hydro-geologist in Ramadan this year and now eagerly waiting for my interview, If I get selected which I wish more than anything at moment, the last quarter of the year can still be fruitful in terms of any big achievement. What I do during the day? I get up early at 7:45 these days, take a shower, take my brake fast, and then I left for my office at 8:50, take a 10-minute ride on motorcycle to office, sits on God damn table designed by me but built off course by carpenter. I mostly sit

Year 2016 summed up in one Blog

Though I was committed to write a blog every month, but this commitment seems to be another addition to long list of unfulfilled commitments. In support of above stated thought I would say that I still have my new year resolution written on piece of white paper placed under my working table mirror, the table I work on for at least 7 hours every day, I used to take a glance on my new year resolution, But now I haven’t put my sight on the paper for quite a while because I know I have failed myself yet again. Weight loss was not on the list of things I had to do during this passing year, but it came in midway as my first marriage proposal was rejected in June. The reason can be anything, but a brother like friend Nazir Dawi from Kabul suggested that I should immediately get in shape or in other case I should be mentally prepared for rejection of many more marriage proposals. So during Ramadan I showed great willingness to losing some weight, I worked on it starting from finding wei

RIP Habib Mohebian

I just found that one of great Persian singer and song writer Habib Mohebian, commonly known as Habib has passed away, the news of his demise has been shared by his fellow singer Ebi on Facebook. May his soul rest in eternal peace, at these sad moments I want to extend my condolences to his family and fans around the world. I would love to give tributes to him by sharing one of my all time favourite song of him. من مرد تنهای شبم مهر خموشی بر لبم تنهاو غمگین رفته ام دل از همه گسسته ام تنهای تنها،غمگین و رسوا تنها و بی فردا منم من مرد تنهای شبم مهر خموشی بر لبم من مرد تنهای شبم صد قصه مانده بر لبم از شهر تو منرفته ام کوله بارمرا بسته ام بی فکر فردا، با خود و تنها عابر این شب ها منم بی فکر فردا، با خود و تنها عابر این شب ها منم من مرد تنهای شبم مهر خموشی بر لبم من مرد تنهای شبم صد قصه مانده بر لبم

Bacha Khan's Death Anniversary

January 20 th of 2016 is death anniversary of one of my favorite personality Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan aka Bacha Khan, the man who has influenced me to great extent by his great work, and fortunately he is not religious figure rather a political and Peace keeping activist. It blows my thoughts that how difficult it would be or even impossible it would be to tell and convince someone to treat rightfully their women, and to settle differences among tribesman, and to let their daughters get education in early 1900, and if you have to convince Pashtuns you will have surely need guts to do so, even today I have found it much difficult to convince Pashtuns to vaccinate their children in order to prevent Polio. Bacha Khan did convince them on plenty of issues in early 1900 when people were much narrow minded and were more affected by conspiracy theories than today. Bacha Khan's portrate by Khudai Khidmatgar Hamdullah Arbab of Jalalabad Bacha Khan has huge impact on Pashtun’s h

My views on Paris Attacks

These are my views on Paris attacks, and replies of my Friends to it...   Replies of my Friends were ambiguous as expected.... A good Friend of mine Abdul  Nafeh sarcastically pointed me, and received my reply... Its really hard to have your own views on certain things in Land of Pures (Pakistan) and if your views is liberal and differs from majority than hardships awaits you, I am glad that I said what i have to and stood by my sayings...

FALLEN GIANTS

  If you have mourned the demise of Hamid Gul enough and are in your nerves now, I would like you to have some words for Shuja Khanzadah. The two giants fallen within the time span of one week, but in totally different ways, the former died due to brain hemorrhage the latter died in the line of duty. Hamid Gul God knows had blooded his hands with how many innocent lives. One shouldn’t forget that he was among the main architectures of Zia-ul-Haq’s draconian doctrine. That is hunting public of Pakistan todate.  Isn’t it confusing for Pseudo Patriots that those who flourished under Zia and Hamid Gul’s supervision have martyred Shujah Khanzadah, but to many of us Hamid Gul is hero; and Shujah Khanzadah is man like many other killed in the line of duty. Some are praising Hamid Gul for his Pan Islamist Ideologies and his services for Muslim Umah. I would say that  are they out of their minds? There is nothing for any in service man (specially for ISI chief) like Muslim Umah , peo
