Who needs a TOASTER when your JOB can toast you better...

Well! Everyone knows how elite class our country (Pakistan) jobs are like. I know what you are thinking right now. What of thing thing guy is putting up on this blog! He is definitely nuts. A decade back..oh sorry that is just my work experience...2 decades back there was some fruitful condition for Paki jobs. Patients were happy with doctors. Factory workers were happy with industrialists. Parents and students were happy with teachers so as every managers, executives, directors were with their bosses.



Its really hard for me to write all this and I feel aggravated and feel like in a toaster while writing all this.

The situation of jobs in Pakistan is getting poorer and poorer and inflation is also increasing by every minute..sometime I wonder if if the class-3 people after mediocre in Pakistan would be able to get a 1.5 Litre Coca Cola for special guests.

The IT jobs are not stable and are known as to be a so called shifting economy of Pakistan but the truth is whether you gt an IT job with a hard effort or get it in a snap by some powerful reference you just cant get stable in that, even if you are determined you are caught in a web of such unfathomable conspiracies that you quit yourself. I wont be be a diplomat and would like to name some high esteemed professional organizations like Infotech, Horizon Technologies, NetTech, Softtech Microsystems and Global Technologies. I have seen and heard such ugly experiences of my friends.
The teaching jobs in our country is a matter of sustainability. A teacher has to go through a war zone for his/her first week. Those who succeed in that that par level is considered to be the appropriate one and eligible for the post. All the schools here whether its a top holder private English medium school or a known old government school have a tough, ruthless, racially divided and gang-infested students. The victims are forced to slaughter their dreams of becoming someone which they or their parents had dreamed of before entering that school.

I am mentioning all these things knowing that I can never provide you all a solution of even if I succeed I know that the readers would not be having any courage to stand up and do something against this bloody system of our country. The main root cause of every problem in our country is the unstable political environment and our feudalistic government. Out Pakistani students should act as a catalyst; a wave of change in Pakistan and for that our teachers should force press acts at education ministry. I do not whatever legalities but there was to be some way like this.

The extremism in our Pakistani communities is increasing day by day and that is somewhat the reason Pakistan is being considered a 3rd world country. Our dilemma is the unstable political scenario of today. Due to this nobody from outer region wants to invest anywhere in our country. We have to attract the foreign investors to our country and for that we have to become one community and one nation and eliminate the whole element of extremism.

Please please please realize our forte and gold mine should be our silver employment status, education, well groomed community, humanity and a crafted culture. Just remember:

"Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean."

I would really appreciate some fellowship on this blog and a feedback for whatever you think about my postings. I write what I feel, see and hear from my close and friend groups sources, so no offense to anyone. Thank you for reading this.

Do cats sense invisible energy which is unseen by us?

I can pretty much elaborate the nature technicality that why cats eyes glow in dark or why they shine or glow when you take a photo of them. It nearly happen to all the nocturnal creatures but specifically cats; the simple reason is which science defines is that cats' eyeballs include a special reflective layer called the 'tapetum lucidum'. The retina behind their pupils makes the pupil contract and expand when you get anything close or far to a cat while cat is watching it. In the day the cat's pupil is more dilated because it takes a little time to absorb the day light and hence there is no day-light at night cats tend to see better and are more quick and pro in glances. This is also the reason that we humans do not have that layer in our pupils so we get red-eyed in single flash cameras and cats' eyes just glow.
See my brother holding Fifi in the picture below. She is having that flashy glow effect in her eyes here.


Anyways this story is not about why cats don't have red eyes when photographed. I had a cat named 'Fifi' who was just a week old kitten when she came to me. I found her in my house street just a few steps away from my place and some crows had attacked her and pecked her one eye but luckily there were no injuries. I took her inside and washed her with warm wet towel, fed her milk and eye dropped her daily and after a week she was fit to see wide eyed both eyes. She was very cuddly, friendly and took me as her mother as I guess she wasn't familiar with the motherly love. The whole story short one day I found her acting completely weird which got me shocked too. I wanted to hold her and she ran away and got me running here and there and hiding under places and not letting me come near her. Then I cornered her in one place and observed that she was full wide eye with fear and was looking behind from above my shoulder. I looked back and thought may be someone else was standing behind me but there was no one. I tried to calm her and swoon her in low voices. When I got close her she hissed a big time and gave a constant gaze behind my shoulder and right at that moment I felt someone's presence right behind me. My heartbeat got faster though I am not the kind of kind of guy who get affected by any spooky environment but that day I could really feel someone was there. I do not know it was something bad or good but I got really scared. I just grabbed Fifi and got out of there reciting verses of Holy Quran. I had a mix feeling about having beliefs on this thing that cat can sense all this but I am not definitely sure about it.

I haven't let it out to anyone yet. Just today. Please share your comments and any experiences you have had like this. Thanks for reading!

Getting ecstatic about Social Media

I never knew what social media was even at the time I had my account on Face book 8 years back from now until I got the opportunity to groom my internet marketing skills at my present job 1/5 years back. We work in a Pakistan based American Business Process Outsource firm and where I got this client who wanted to get on with his social media marketing for his Real Estate business. I was asked to take on this responsibility just because I was a social butterfly in my office. I fidgeted and tried to persuade away from this but my project manager kept his faith firm on me like placing a faithful bet on me like I am not losing in any case.

I did not had any marketing background. I never knew an 'ABC' on any kind of sales or marketing business neither a real estate business or any other social media tools other than Face book.

Facebook is the king of all Social media and right now it is possibly the only social site which allows you the integration of the most effective social media tools you can ever have.

Today I am social media relationships manager in our firm. I do not say it proudly because I do not have any bookish knowledge as my base but trust me if you adopt a peculiar interest you don'e need any. I learned everything from internet. It's just that you need to have an aesthetics sense for online research and Voila! THERE you go. I started learning about all these SMM tools while making accounts for my client on different sites like Twitter, flickr, linkedin, youtube, digg, stumbleupon etc.

I then started taking interest for my own online profile building and social networking for my personal accounts. I started getting on flickr, youtube, face book page, blogger and linked for sharing photos, videos, posts, journals, stories, songs & professional knowledge with my friends, family, colleagues and random people who showed interests in my own interests. It felt like placing my keepsakes and memorabilia online, like I collect all my empty perfume bottles over my bedroom table after every 6 month and somehow relate them with each other though the smells, bottles and makes are entirely different just as people on social media sites.


There are a thousand of things you can learn in social media networking but when starting from the scratch you need to make sure that you fulfill 4 essence basics of Social media networking.

They are:
Social Media Sites Account Creation

Social Media Profile Building

Social Media Community Building

Online Community Engagement

In our next post we'll talk about these four important phases in details. Social media marketing is easy as hell but ya folks it is hell of time consuming job too based all on online research.
Have a happy social life!
