Routine?

It is the worst natural disaster in 100 years... I can't still believe it... it seems so unreal... number of people dead is almost 18,000 now... it is horrible... everywhere in the world there are disasters happening... even in south america a mud slide took over a whole city... all dead!!

Either it is the stupid climate change which we all humans are responsible for... or it is our pace of accepting lesser moral values and purposeless lives...

I think it is a moment where you should stop for while and think back... what your purpose in life is and try to shape your actions towards it.

I was watching the documentary on Cat Stevens now Yousaf Islam... He seeked to find the true purpose for him... and he never stopped till he did... he abandoned money and fame for the right reasons... I am sure if it was any of us... probably we would have choose the other way (money and fame)

It is insane how media and technology have changed our lives... enormous change... how our thinking patterns are replaced by passive feeds of years of media programming...

So I think we should all do a self-check and see the broader angles of life... rather than just following the so called "routine". You should ask yourself "What is routine?"

It's the season of being KAreem.TheApple way

It’s Ramadan so I decided to wish everyone a Ramadan Kareem full of unbroken fasts.

Apple had turned kareem to it’s purchasers by launching ipod nano.

It meant bad news for the ipod mini users as this meant they were outdated. No color screen, out-dated colors, no trademark ipod white color of the ipod mini was bye-bye.

The ipod nano reflects change for the better or for similarity, as all the new ipods can be found out to be of the same family looking at the layout or the color.

Apple was also Kareem because it launched ipod nano in black which meant that non U2 fans could also get a black ipod and it also meant that if they only reveal the half upper portion of their black ipod nano, they can get away being U2 fans as well.

Ipod had started its own lineage of fans, people who didn’t know what apple was, were beginning to know what it was.CHIC, COOL and all other hip things.

Well I won’t keep on ranting about this and that, you can go checkout the full range of ipods at

www.apple.com/ipod

Another yearly key feature of the ipods is that the price sees a fall, which means it gets more affordable every year.

Any more praise of the ipod and I should be entitled to one by apple, but since apple doesn’t like to play the entitlement game so I will stop now

Break-Up

My exams are over and my relief is as evident to me as
it can be.
Anyway, I have been a member of this blog for at least
a month and I couldn't do much better than a couple of
postings, them too very hardly. The reason being that
it is quite hard to manage two blogs at a time (as I
came to know). The main reason being is that why would
a person be dividing up his attention into two? Unless
of course it has been already decided what nature of
posts would be going on which blogs. This post doesn’t
mean that I have decided the nature of my posts for
this blog. But it does mean that I want to post on
this blog.

What will be I giving to this blog today, I will be
giving details about my exam-taking.

B.B.A 1st year.

Paper No.1: Business communication.

Communication means presenting your ideas in a clear
and concise way nothing of which the book I was
studying from was. It was the most absurd, nonsense
and mix-up of information that there could have been.
Still I went over the entire book and got to write a
lot of things from my side and the paper was fine.


Paper No.2: Economics

Study of wealth as it is known, but from the amount of
graphs it has, economics can be easily known as study
of graphs. It was by preparing for this paper, which
made evident to me the importance of not beating your
head to put a topic in, if it goes in then goody-goody
if it doesn’t then turn the pages over to the next
topic. Anyhow, I was skipping, skipping and skipping
and late night I thought to myself, am going to be a
______ (fill in the blanks).But the paper turned out
easy and I did it.

Paper No.3: Management

To plan, organize, direct, co-ordinate and control.
Pretty simple, the book was not very comprehensive and
not complicated. I thought it was easy until the paper
came. To take this paper was the hardest for me.I had
asked in my first paper to the water –wala whether
going to the toilet was allowed(which it was),he said
no. Keeping that in mind I never asked for permission
to use the toilet. And imagine the consequence, you
are almost ready to discharge the water in you, the
rooms temperature is moderately maintained by ac's and
then you drop water on your pants. I had to face the
situation bravely. Which I did.

PaperNo.4: Business Environment

The change in business conditions due to its
environment.

Paper no.5: Accounting

Nothing much to say about this other than that it was
not plain accounting but it was called financial accounting.

bye for now
