Golden Ager: The Self

The world is a pit!

Consider me a cynic, bitter and hostile if you want but the truth is, we all are just fuel of the world. I come, I live, I go. I don't get to choose my origin, I am where I am supposed to be. I live by the rules of my origination. I am the self, I am imagination. I am all, I am none. I once thought I am not just a fickle flame that can be put out by a gust of wind.

The origins don't matter, what matters is the act of a man. An act is what defines me. But you may disagree. Well disagree all you want but the whole point of life is based on disagreement. You and me! We can't be a mirror image. You may not like my origin, you may hate my environment, you may disagree with my whatever comes out of my mouth, and you definitely can disaccord with my perspective on life, still, it is my life.

I met this aged, ragged and all wrinkly like a crumpled piece of paper. The poor old man was coughing the ceiling off. Raining and all, I get to walk with him, enjoying the weather. I couldn't say how we got talking but in there that walk I mumbled without thinking anything in particular,"The life is a gift!". And he said, "Bao G, Janr deo. Kade changay wale san" (Gentleman! Let it go. There were good times). I was a thrown off balance. I asked why did he say that. The golden ager said, "I was young once." The man crept at the pace of an ant and I was left behind, standing in rain, thinking.

Concept of SAM (Standard Allowed Minutes) and SMV (Standard Minute Value) in Garments Industry

In the modern fast-paced manufacturing environment, amped-up by the concept of assembly line and optimized resource utilization the most valuable resource is indeed Time. Looking over the horizon of garment industry across the globe, we see that all manufacturers and consultants have long realized that time is practically money.

Reham Khan's upcoming book; Events so far!

Hamza Ali Abbasi and Rehaam Khan at each others throat! Is this what we have been reduced to? Reham Khan, as we reported earlier is engaged in a Twitter-war but that was merely the tip of the iceberg. The real shit hit the fan when Reham named names, and Hamza Ali Abbasi, being the outspoken cliche, took it to every possible Television program he can to, rip Reham a new one. Unfortunately for Hamza, it looks like Reham has a strategy here! Over the course of days, it looks like Reham has said less, whereas, the non-existent leaked manuscript has sent Pakistan Tehreek Insaf governance and warriors, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Imran Khan, Salman Ahmed, Anila Khawaja, Wasim Akram and many more on a wild goose chase. Apart from notices served, Reham even said that she has not even found a publisher yet. No wonder the delay; no sane publisher would touch this shit, with even a ten-foot pole. No matter what people say, they do want to read the "tell-all" and a...

An Essay on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Google’s Contribution

The corporations have been around for centuries, in the form of alliances between merchants, territories, and monarchs but the true form that committed to pooling capital, under a legally binding contract to benefit from sea-trade emerged in the 17 th century (Dari-Mattiacci, Gelderblom, Jonker, & Perotti, 2017) with the incorporation of Dutch East India company in 1602. The components of corporate form like representation, entity shielding, capital lock-in, tradable share and limited liability above all, offered protection of owner’s interests and assets (Kraakman & Armour, 2017) . Unfortunately, the corporations also took the liberty to ignore the impacts of devouring natural resources and environmental sustainability and rather focused on enhancing the productivity. In the late 1800s, corporate philanthropy emerged and quickened the pace of progress in 1950. Over the last seven decades, corporations have transformed from merely doing good deeds to committing the...

The Life

Since we reach the age of understanding things, we think that feelings and concepts (undefined to us yet) that exist for reasons whatsoever, they should complete their purpose – perfection – which is impossible for a human to do. We are full of mistakes, we are uncertain, others expect a lot from us, and we can’t be everywhere. That is us trying not to disappoint them, and in doing so, we lose control of time – the unit of life. Love, Time, Death – the most important phenomenon in life. We feel for others, and we love them in our unique ways. Soon the Time passes very quickly, and then you think of death – leaving everything behind. Just some moments before the death, you think of all the things you have done and for what? So, right at this moment, when you are alive, living the life you only think of doing the right things, the right decisions that will lead you to not regret in that last moment of your life. Focusing on what is that we have ...

How do I write? A beginner's guide to get you started.

A lot of people around me ask me almost every time I bring up writing in conversation. And given that it takes a considerable amount of my time, apart from teaching, writing do comes up a lot. People ask me all the time, How do you write? How can you write? How do you find the time? What motivates you to write? How do you stay even focused with children hammering doors and throwing toys around? Don't you think you can do something better? You are an engineer, why do you bother with writing reviews and bullshit like this? To fully answer all the questions is a tad bit difficult because it is no small feat. The topic is too important, vast and extremely close to my heart. I really do not want to cram information into a single post that makes no sense. Instead, I planned to make it a series of posts that we can all relate to, and the first question in the series I decided to discuss is "How do I write?" Writing is NOT easy To be honest there is no...
