    While reading most of the English fiction, I could never relate to the cities, vocabulary, plots, characters, and stories, because I had not travelled abroad and did not have an understanding of the subtle layers of Western societies. Even Pakistani authors would write stories

    Recently two guys approached me to help in finding a job. I checked their CVs and told them that they can get PhD scholarship abroad and will get a stipend which will be higher than a salary here. They didn't believe it. Guided them in the application. Both r leaving for PhD soon

    Met a Saudi Tech company. They had outsourced some work in Pak. During internet shutdowns for elections, the Pakistani tech company could not deliver the work to the Saudi company. The Saudi company's risk department asked their management not to outsource tech work in Pakistan.

    Most of the universities in Pak waste time & money of students during 4 year undergrad degrees. The content can be taught in 6 months. No intellectual, professional and social grooming. Students dnt know how to apply for a grad degree or how to write a job application. #PakThink

    Dams cannot stop floods. Early warning systems and disaster preparedness is the key. Dnt encroach water's territory. Let it flow. Develop safe stations for vulnerable areas. Grow more trees. Strengthen local govt systems. Dnt write useless reports. Develop policies & systems.

    جتنے نوجوان ہر سال سی ایس ایس (CSS) کی تیاری کرتے ہیں اگر اتنے ہی نوجوان جدید طریقے سے کاروبار کرنے کی ٹھان لیں تو پاکستان ترقی کی راہ پر چل پڑے گا۔ #PakThink

    Islamabadi elite celebrates rickshaw art as their culture but does not allow rickshaws to operate in Islamabad. Very Islamabadi thing!

    We should also post such photos of sugar mill owners and industrialists when the state gives them subsidies/cash.

    Every student enrolled in an undergrad degree in Pak should do a part time job. This is totally wrong that undergrad and grad students in Pakistan dnt do any part time work. Many dnt fee comfortable working in a resturant or a store or a filling station. We need to change it.

    Asked a fish resturant on GT Road about his daily sale during winter. He told its usually a few millions (PKR) per day. Guys this is much better thing to do as compared to CSS or so-called development sector. Karobar main barkat hai!

    The best career is to settle abroad and write, speak on Pakistan economy & society. I need to plan for this career goal.
