All these Giants ! Collared by IT guys !

All these big corporations are now heavily dependent on their IT
departments ! And offcourse their IT people have made them sure that
they are the best, but the management can only realize untill there is
a security breach by some hacker!

I am surprised that how vulnerable we are in the era of IT where there
are no checks by the regulators that how organizations are managing
their IT security and there are very few standards available in our
country!

Loadshedding is sometimes Good !

It's ten at night and I am in my bed writting this post ! Thanks to
loadshedding that I am so early in bed whereas usually it gets
midnight till I get asleep !

In this post I m going to discuss the positive impacts of loadshedding
on our society and social behaviors ! Normally at this time people
mostly watch TV and in the absence of loadshedding they just sit with
their families and talk to kill time. This family interaction becoming
instinct due to soial media and Electronic media ! So, through
loadshedding people are getting close with their families !

I remember when we were kids, we use to sit in our courtyard with
father during loadsheddings and use to gaze at stars and father told
us varios combinations of stars some stories related to them and their
usage! He also told also so many stories which included stories from
Quran too ! That was really interesting at that time and we use to
listen those stories very attentively. Similarly, might be somewhere
kids would be sitting with parents and listening stories during the
loadsheding time and through this they can go bed early !

In our country we are facing severe energy crisis and to tackle this
people have bought generators & UPS and now they are moving towards
solar energy. I think this situation has made our economy so much
resistant to adverse economic shocks and we survived some really bad
times in the history of our country ! So this loadshedding has also
made us more resistant. Another good thing is the introduction of
solar energy technology and adoption of that by local businesses ! If
this technology would be promoted by our Government we can be self
sufficient in this field very soon as we have ample solar energy
throughout the country!

Govt should promote this technology by reducing import taxes on solar
panels and also bound multinationals and bank to convert their
billboard lights to solar energy and gradually implement it on a
larger scale. Thus, through this technology can be promoted!

No doubt loadsheding is not good for the country but as it is said
"smooth seas never make good sailors"but sometimes such challenges
makes us strong ! I think issue of loadshedding should be resolved
with some solid and longterm beneficial policies to bring a positive
impact on our economy !

Go Green Gujrat - Plantation campaign

Gujrat Dr. Akram Mirza Lion Club & Gujrat Chenab Lions Club (Also known as Twin Lions Club) arranged a plantation campaign during this spring on march 25, 2012. For this purpose they mobilized the students of Gujrat and involved them in this campaign. UOG Green Society which is a society of Enviornmental Science students participated in this campaign alongwith the volunteers of Gujrat Volunteers Club. These enthusiastic Pakistani citizens planted more than 800 trees. 50+ volunteers worked in different teams to plant trees on G.T. road , Gujrat. Moreover, they established their camp office at GTS Chowk where the students and club members interacted with the visitors and briefed them about the benefits of plantation. They also encouraged the people to plant trees at places around thier homes
! Many people took plants for their homes! 

While working on roads other people got attracted and helped the volunteers in planting the trees! One nursery owners gifted trees when he saw them planting trees voluntarily ! 

Local newspapers and electronic media also participated in this campaign by giving coverage to this event and educated the people to plant trees ! Radio awaz arranged live road show during the plantation event and they also arranged a show in their studios !

Local business community sponsored the plants for the campaign and arranged refreshments for the volunteers ! 


Such activities show that the people of Pakistan are still alive and still wants a peaceful and beautiful country ! But requires support of Government to play their part in encouraging such activities ! 

Urdu & Maths in Masjid Schools

Masjid used to be a very important social centre of Islamic society,
but now a days it has only became a prayer place. Now days almost
every Mohallah and locality has a Masjid there! Buildings are there
and at some places very well constructed and spacious !

I was thinking that these buildings can be used to spread education in
our country ! The longest time during the day when such buildings
remain free is between Fajar and Zauhar Prayer! At that time if there
can be classes of Urdu and Mathematics for the kids who are unable to
attend school either because it's expensive or due to distant
location; such kids can get basic education through this. A large
number of kids would be able to learn how to read, write and calculate
through this way!
