sometimes...

it happens..sometimes we expect too much out of an event or a person.. Shakespeare once quoted " if you want to be happy stop expecting.. sometimes we attach our hopes with something which might never work.. something which can never come true.. something that will hurt us as much as it can.. not all people have the capability to come up to your expectations.. sometimes we work really hard for something to work out.. sometimes we work really hard for an event to be the best event for everyone.. but when the hard work is not appreciated, one feels that their effort has gone in vein.. efforts are only done when there is someone to appreciate your efforts.. when they are not appreciated then the person stops trying.. and then when some other time comes up when the effort of that one person is needed, he/she is reluctant to even try..
we, humans, often misunderstand the feelings of other people.. we often treat good people as bad and bad people as good.. and when we to understand what we had done we are left with no option.. it has been observed that most of the people have failed to fulfill the expectations attached to them.. something that can be observed in anyone's life if they try to think about it once.. sometimes your friends fail to understand you, it is usual for anyone to put their faith in their friends and to expect from them, when they fail one seems to think what he/she lacked.. sometimes we are perfect in all aspects but just one habit or one word can ruin everything.. sometimes it takes years to overcome your experienced fears.. sometimes people are not able to forget what has been done to them..

happy days are over...

when a new semester starts, everyone is so excited to get into a regular routine. the starting days are the best ones. one can easily relax in those days and even have a lot of fun, one can think of participating in any extra curricular in the start of semester. slowly the days pass by. teachers give projects but most of the people do not pay attention..they save that work for the last days, pretty much confident that they will be able to finish it on the last day of deadline even. one is really relaxed unless any quiz is taken or an assignment is given.. days pass by and no work is done. then one day a bomb explodes. and that bomb is "midterm exams". all of a sudden, someone is heard saying that the date sheet is out. that's when the first tension starts. some papers go well, some don't.

as one is done with their mid terms or sessionals.. tension starts.. why??? because all the teachers want their projects to be completed 1 or 2 weeks before the finals.. now one has to complete all the projects and assignments in the due time they have left.. one after another tasks are assigned of different projects. one has to go through various books, through the internet and collect data and then write what is required to be written. when all the work is done, then preparing the power point slides is left for the last day. when they know that the presentation is due the next day then they start making slides and end up finishing them on the day the presentation is due. and then when the presentation is done, one is not satisfied by the work done by them. they feel that they could have done better if they put a little more effort. sometimes they are able to achieve good grades in the projects sometimes they are not able to perform good. and then after all the projects are done, one is left with the finals. they have to prepare for the finals. after the finals one promises with him/herself that they will work on time from next semester but that next never comes.. it is our nature, we can not change our habits, or maybe we don't want to.. we are used to working at the last moment..

some things leave their marks on us...

sometimes, some memories, some people, some places, and so on leave their mark on us. and that mark is sometimes really deep.. sometimes we go to some places the memories of which remains with us.. i have been to alot of places that have alot of memories linked to them.. the people who i met were all really great people and now when i compare those people with the people of my nation, i feel alot of difference.. i feel that some people are really mean and they only talk to people when they have work..
the memories that i have with those places are the most special ones. i have had the best days of my life, going out with friends, going on tours, chatting with friends. in short, i have enjoyed every single moment of my life with my friends, my family, my cousins.. but i feel that as time is passing people we are linked to are getting busy with their lives, having their own priorities, having their own schedules.. one often feels neglected by the most important people of their lives.
some places are really special. maybe because of the memories linked to them, maybe because of their beauty.. i feel that i have seen some of the most beautiful places on this Earth. but most still remain to be visited and seen. if i had the chance to have a tour around the world, i would love to go because one only gets one life and you should enjoy every single moment of this life by seeing all there it's in the world, by keeping a good company, and most of all by remembering that this life had been granted to us by ALLAH, HE has given us this life and HE can take it back whenever HE wishes to.. leaving you at this thought, have you been successful in satisfying the people linked to you and have you been able to satisfy ALLAH???

weekend is over... :-(

i am sure all us of wait for the week to be over so that we can relax at home, enjoy a little, catch up with some people who could not be in touch, and so on.. and when the wait is over and the weekend is in front of us, we think for a moment that what our plans will be.. how we will spend our weekend.. we make a long list during the working days.. but when the weekend is there finally, we seem to be blank.. and then the weekend passes with us resting at home and doing nothing else except the work that can be done at home..

most of us like the working days.. but i prefer weekend and holidays.. though it is a fact that too much holidays get me bored.. unless there is something fun to be done.. most of the people i know hate the concept of "Monday".. we have to go to work or go to universities, schools, colleges.. and it all starts when Monday starts.. and we count the days till the weekend, keeping our hopes high.. it seems like there is nothing better than a weekend..

when one stays too much at home, he wants to go out and have some fun but for someone who is mostly out, he sure loves spending some quality time at home.. playing games, watching TV, sleeping through the day.. if i would be allowed to sleep during the whole weekend.. i would love to do it.. but the problem with being a student is that weekend comes with a lot of works.. some assignments to be done, some projects to be done, some work of home to be done.. students can never be at peace.. if there is any day of the week that i hate, it is Monday..

happiness of students..

students.. they try to stay calm during the whole semester.. it seems like there is nothing that can bother them.. they like to chill, hang out with friends, have parties,etc.. in short enjoy and enjoy.. they do not care about anything.. their attendance, class participation etc.. some students have a really calm attitude towards studies.. they do not care about studies till the day when exam is on the head.. on the day of exam they are studying as if they will be able to score an "A" by studying on the day of exam..

the days of exams are the toughest days of all.. students count each and every day after an exam is over and think that how many are left now.. on the day the last exam gets over, the happiness of students is to be observed.. they do not know what they will score in the exams, but they are happy that at least the exams are over.. they are happy as if they have reached the moon..

if it was up to us, students, to schedule the academic curricula.. we would make such a curricula that exams will be held only once a year, students will have classes two or three days in a week, there will be no compulsion of attendance, nobody will be accountable for holidays done, the exams will be on open book one, students will be asked what questions to include in the exam paper and so on.. this would be our dream education.. but we know it is something that can not be done.. so we have to face the current scenario.. and be a part of it.. so we are patiently following this curricula hoping that some changes can be made according to our demands..

Educational Struggle of a Pakistani student

Pakistan is economically a strong country but its residents are economically weak. They go for each possible way by which they can earn something for themselves or their family. And that’s why when a couple have a new baby in their life they start dreaming of giving him every possible education that could make him economically strong and by which he could make his own identity in society. They start dreaming of making him doctor, engineer officer or any kind of reputed professional. For this purpose they take three important steps in his life. They start from his schooling; they go over each possible option; both private and governmental schools; where they came to know that private institutions ask for fee’s that are even more than their earning so they go for governmental institutions. And when it comes to “Pakistani’s governmental educational institutions” then it’s famous for its lethargy.

Most of government school’s teacher attends schools just for paper work they have no concern with the educational future of a student. The next step parents takes towards making their child’s life is to get him admitted in any good college; where he could study to get good grades to appear in entry test for medical and engineering line, but here once again they have to choose between a private or governmental institution. Some take risk by admitting their child in private institution by giving more than half of their savings while some once again chose governmental institution for their child as they have not enough resources to take risk. Now here the race begins between a governmental and private institution. Private institution do their best to make their students able to appear in top ten students in Board examination so that next year they could get more costumer or profits in the name of student while government institution put their efforts in “Booti” system, bribe, or backhanding. And when intermediate’s student’s results are announced; then most of the positions in top ten are obtained by those governmental institution’s students. But the reality of their grades are revealed when they appears in entry tests held for medical and engineering fields; here most of the students that fails to make it through the test are those who obtained very good grades. 

 Now here question comes if the student was so good or studious to take marks in intermediate then why he didn’t made it through the test? It’s just because the governmental and private institution focuses on making marks but not to make him understand what he actually is studying about; in other words “Ratta” system is followed. After this the last step is taken for making a student “Bara aadmi” (big man) and that is if he clears the test he gets admission in medical university, engineering university or if not then any other university in any other field, in either way now they have to face university forces. In most of the universities female students are harassed by lecturers and professors; while with male students the language used by some lecturers is unethical. There are also some need based scholarship announced by government for students but the authorities’ behaviors are so much insulting; that those students tries to avoid applying for it who need it, while they who apply are not needy one but they apply just for fun or greediness.

There are also some kinds of students who don’t bother to respect even those professors who are loyal with their field or them; and that’s the reason what makes a lecturers or professors behavior harsh towards his student. Somehow by hook or by crook at last a student gets his master’s degree; now once again his struggles starts to get a job that is economically best for him; some gets their jobs again by backhanding while those who fails to get a good job tries small level jobs and some out of frustration of being jobless; finds Suicide as an escape from all the worries and problems they are facing. A dream that parents dream for their child ends on either in the form of a person having his job and established life or in the form of suicidal death of their child but in this over all cycle the question arises what the Educational systems or institutions of Pakistan is contributing towards development of the society.
