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. So, everyone is furiously trying to discover different methods to save this precious time. The idea always is to find a fair time for each job to ensure a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work. However, to effectively utilize any resource, first it is vital to measure it and set necessary standards for monitoring. Concept of SAM and SMV Conc ept of measuring time – SAM & SMV Measuring time in garments industry is pretty basic and standard stuff at the least, but crucial at the most. You can either use a Cycle Time based approach or Operation Time approach., depending on the degree of accuracy required. In garments manufacturing, there are ge...

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...

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 ...

Across the Land

The wind was getting stronger, And the prints were too ragged, The hope was fickle, so were odds, And hapless soul was too shagged, Deaf, blind and a monk naked, As pure at heart as diamantine, The sun was raging and sand agitated, Burning at heart searched for divine, The shadows were raging and alive, And prints were lost in storm of time, The wind was wild, with a mirage in sight, And digs too seemed like a hard climb, Hope was fading, the vision was blurred, He prayed to Lord, not to be turned, The Soul of the world he said he earned, He got robbed, brighter he burned, A hand entered his frame of vision, He looked up to the ray of light, The soul shattered, so did my dream, There I sat, cogitating all night!

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...
