Longing for the past

I have been sitting on the bean bag next to my bed. The lights are out, and I only have my laptop from this era working. Just look at what man has achieved within just a century. Looking back at the past, I can’t help myself but to be amazed at the amount of development man has done. We have really pushed ourselves forward, and to the extreme to make inventions that might spoil us, help us and at the same time amaze us.

It is a good thing that it’s not hot. The cool wind is whistling, and making my curtains dance like break-dancers. Its pitch dark and there seems to be peace everywhere. No television noise, no neighbour’s car horns and no shouting. Its mid night and everyone is snuggled in their quilts. Enjoying their sleep and relaxing from a hard day’s work. There is a picture of my grand-dad with his classmates, at saint xeviers, on my bedside. Looking at the black and white picture, I am drawn into the picture’s charismatic colours and gesture. It’s class of 1936-37 majoring in Mathematics. Life must have been so simple then yet extremely complex in its own way when the Hindu’s the Muslims were living in the same country under the British rule.

What source of entertainment would they be having? What would be their daily routine? Waking up at dawn, going to school or respective work place, having all type of biasness and politics, trying to feed the family by working second shifts, on returning home after a hard day’s work, spending some quality time with the whole family of 4 to 10 siblings. Mischief was only allowed by the young ones, while the elder siblings were role models for their innocent and young ones, listening to the gramophone which was the HiFi music system back then. Transitioning myself back in time I turn on the radio to experience what it feels like being back then and Fm 89 started playing the hits from the 90’s (The time when I discovered music and grew old with). The soothing music is taking control over my emotions. I can now feel an out of body experience and on looking at myself I am in the same era as my grand-dad.

Everything is so beautiful. I don’t want to change a thing. This moment is priceless. If only I was born a few decades before, maybe I would have been able to know my grand-dads better and study them closely. Experience what our fore-fathers have gone through and witness the history in the making and be apart of it.

Everything is perfect when all of a sudden the lights are back on and I find myself in the 21st century being a victim of my neighbour’s harsh loud television, car horns, and disturbing the elegant and delicate twilight of the night.

Connect2pk

Initially a team of four and a final year project, these students turned professionals have translated their idea and executed it with mere excellence. Studied from NU-FAST, these students had pitched the idea of creating a computer phone and alas a year after graduation, they continued it they have made it and going national with their idea.

“Connect2pk” is a user friendly application which enables the user to talk to anyone internationally at the cost of local calls. All you have to do is download their software and get registered and wallaaah… The interface is like a mobile phone on which you can dial any number and talk to another person on his/her landline or mobile. Kudos to Basit and his team memebers.

Dream On

Cringing with fear, he is terrified with the same thought running all over him again and again and again. What is to happen next? Is he going to survive? Do you think his monotony of thought will perish him once and for all? Everything seems so real yet so blurry. The corners of his pupils seem to be hazy as his sight is clear from the center and worn off from the edges.

He tries to look around, move his limbs but apparently finds him self to be in an infinite loop. He always wants to gambol but seems to fall back down on his back. Headaches and drowsiness has taken over his body. He feels like barfing. He closes his eyes and feels as if he is on a never ending rollercoaster ride. Is this a dream or is it reality?

He tries to find someone else but being the protagonist, explains the solitude. The condition allows no form of diversion what so ever from him. He calls out names but turns out to be suffering from hematemesis suddenly. His body shivers and quivers and his body parts collapsing with fear. He can’t breath! His lungs grasp for air. He needs oxygen. Where to run, where to look for it? he can’t moveeee… blank……long beep……

His friends and family find him in bed, lying there motionless. All pale and white like a ghost. They run to check his pulse but its too late. He has left them, for the unknown. If Only in other circumstances…

Stepping into the Real World

It has just struck me….. 10 years of schooling, 2 years of high school and 4 years of graduation school, and now its time for me to step into the real world. Gosh…. is it really that soon ? … a part of me was waiting for this day to come as soon as possible, but now that it has arrived you get a chill up your spine!!

All this time I was under the supervision of my parents or my teachers or peers. But now no more safety net. No more excuses. No more hiding or giving topi’s to anyone for that matter. the first thing now is how to get a Job and where to get a job? Was I prepared for this? Is there anyone out there who would help me? And when all hope is dying down, i hear a voice in my head “Its time to grow up kiddo!!”. dirty those hands and get into what ever you are doing.  You need to invent yourself and now is the time to do it.

But is there any guidance of such sort ? I mean coming from a family where i am the only person who is stepping into the computer world, I see myself as adolescent graduate trying to maturate. and then I tell myself to wait and to start up this blog and to post all the important  Information Technological related Stuff which would help merge it with business.

I hope this would not only be help to me as i’ll be posting things which i come across over the internet and my experience but at the same time it would be a guidance for the other people out there who are coming into this field or will be stepping into the horrifying work place.
