The Man of Faith

Image
The bloody lift is always malfunctioning. He kicked the steel frame with a vulgar slang. He was a man of faith. Decent and always looking at life from a positive perspective. His head ached while he was climbing the stairs. His world was upside down. It was a filthy old building. The placed smelled of rust, and the air was dense. The stairs were like a snake coiled up after digesting its prey. The bulb flickered every once a while in its efforts to keep the darkness of the night away.  The stairs were littered with used cans and cigarette bud. There were a few traces of the grill along the staircase that used to exist sometime. The walls were dark as a single bulb was making a feeble attempt to keep the stairway alight. The walls must-have been painted white when the building was built, but now the colour has faded with traces of dampness all around. The pale yellow colour shines in the light and displays its art of pathetic graffiti and useless adverts that are placed around the w

Miandam: An Unexplored Gem

Image
  I recently took a trip to Swat, and let me tell you, it was a wild ride. I stayed at the Post Office Rest House, which was definitely showing its age. But you know what they say, "don't judge a book by its cover." Despite the shabbiness of the place, it was actually quite cozy and welcoming. And the sweet old man who ran the place was an absolute delight. He regaled us with stories of his youth. Classic.   PTDC: Miandam Now, onto the real adventure. We visited Malam Jabba, the biggest ski resort in Pakistan. I have to admit, I was a little apprehensive about skiing, considering the last time I tried, I ended up face down in a snowdrift. But the Samson group had done an amazing job maintaining the resort, so I decided to give it a shot. And let me tell you, it was an absolute blast! The slow chair lift gave us plenty of time to take in the stunning scenery. And the best part? No face plants this time! I did fell on my arse though :D   After a day of skiing, we he

Education is Destroying Youth of Pakistan

Image
Education is the backbone of any country, and it plays a significant role in shaping its future. Pakistan is no different. However, unfortunately, the education system in Pakistan has been facing several challenges that are eroding its roots. The education system in Pakistan comprises primary, secondary, higher secondary, and tertiary education. The primary education system in Pakistan has several issues, including a lack of proper infrastructure, teacher absenteeism, and outdated teaching methodologies. Most of the schools in rural areas do not have proper facilities such as electricity, clean water, and toilets, making it difficult for students to attend classes. This results in a high dropout rate, and many children remain illiterate. The secondary and higher secondary education systems in Pakistan also face numerous challenges, including outdated curriculum, inadequate teacher training, and insufficient resources. The syllabus taught in these institutions has not been revised in de

Business to Job: A trade of Self-Esteem

Image
I cannot begin to express the overwhelming pressure and burden that has weighed down on me. You see, if you have been following my blogs, you already know of the hardships I have faced. Although I have managed to find peace with most of my struggles, I have had to make some difficult decisions, such as leaving my business to switch to a job. This change has not been an easy one, my friends. Every day, I find myself struggling to hold on to my sanity and fighting the urge to resign. Although I have not shut down my business, working in an office under management has been an exhausting and soul-crushing experience. It pains me to admit that I have resorted to venting on social media because I feel suffocated in this environment. N7 Tech may be the right office for me, but the management issues never seem to end. The toxicity of the environment is overwhelming, and the company's attitude towards its employees is disgraceful. I am forced to bear the burden of all expenses, even for a s
