I like the advancement of nations if it could be used for the betterment of the people living there. So it can be called as true advancement. Basically the best thing about technology is they can help us living a prosperous life. And if we feel some trouble and problems it help us solving those problems.
I have a similar kind of experience few weeks ago and wanna share with you all. so that if you have such kind of situation, you many be able to handle it properly. On way back home from my lab and thinking about the possible results of my experiments I went to the nearby ATM. I just withdraw some money and after taking my card and receipt i forget to collect the money (since I was deep in my thought) and I left the booth because I have a girl waiting behind me.
I had a lunch at my home and was there for almost an hour. When suddenly i had a spark in my mind about the withdrawn money. I tried to find in my pockets and wallet but couldn't. So finally I came to the point that i forget to pick my money from the ATM machine. I went back and check my account from which the specific amount was already yaken. I felt almost helpless since it was my fault. I went to bank and they said you need to go to the same ATM booth and call the help line to solve your problem. I did the same, although in Korean language but I have managed to explain my case to the help line. She take some basic information and promised me that they will try to solve my problem after 10 minutes.
Meanwhile I thought why this happened to me. Because being a Muslim i believe this kind of things happened to you i f you have done HARAM or something like that. and then I thought I may have done some how somewhere, unnoticed.
After 10 minutes i receive a call from the help line saying that, we have checked the CCTV and found that the girl after you(who was a Chinese) took the money. They have already contacted the girl and asked her to send it back to my account.They mentioned that they girl said, she took it because she was confused, however I was happy as my job was done... :)
Look, this is how the true development work, not just because my job was done but being alien i was able to get benefit of it.

Pakistan Day Celebrations 23 March 2014 (My Speech on Unity )
The contents of my speech on unity delivered in the event of Pakistan Day celebrations in Seoul, Korea under the management of Pakistan Community Korea. Here is a link to the speech
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4dq_Li_rwk Although I deliver this speech in national language Urdu, here is a translated version.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4dq_Li_rwk Although I deliver this speech in national language Urdu, here is a translated version.
I always feel happy when I have an opportunity to visit such
gatherings where people from my nation have a get together to share their happiness
and discuss their common issues. Sitting under the shade of green flag, conferring
on how to bring more happiness and harmony to our community here In Korea
always bring me an internal peace and is a source of recreation for me. I
always feel proud when I see people of my land representing the green flag in
different international forums and becoming a source of earning good name for
my beloved Pakistan. Whenever I see a Pakistani guy getting a good job abroad,
representing our adored nation among the other nations of the world, my heart
is filled with pride and pleasure and I feel alive. That is a reason why I fell
in love with all those people and unintentionally my respect increase for them.
I can see many people in Korea who are a symbol of pride for Pakistan and among
many of those I would name Dr Asad, Dr Sabir, Zahid Hussain, A.B Saim, Ikram
Khan, Dr. Gul, Saeed Khan, Tanveer Abbasi and Wali Khan.
At the same time I feel dishearten when I see destruction, disrespect and self-centeredness among the members of Pakistan community. I really feel surprised when I see people of
my nation quarreling for their own name and don’t care about the image of
their beloved nation. It really make me upset when I see people being slaved to
their egos ruins the good name of a nation. It kills me softly when I see that people
of my nation are dividing themselves on the basis of provincial, ethnic and
bilingual groups. Sometimes our quick decisions bring us down not only destroying
our own image but the whole nation. All these situations lead to disrespect and
disbelieve among the members of community and I can see some of us are moving
towards this situation which will bring the whole community to its knee sooner
or later.
Few months back our student’s community has some problems
which have divided the community into many groups and a situation of disrespect
was created among the students members. Thanks to the special efforts of
Pakistan Community Korea and the honorable Zulfiqar Khan and Khalid Khan who
managed to bring both the groups to sit together and solve the common issues in
a peaceful discussion. That was a great day of my life when all the students’
community members agree to the same chartered of life under the one and only
green flag and for the betterment of our nation. Hats off to all the
individuals whose efforts made it possible. I am very thankful to all of them personally
to bring all the students to a single platform named as Pakistani Students in
South Korea (PSAK). That was indeed a great example of unity and respect for
the mutual honor of country.
One thing is worth mention here that I wrote a blog about the
Pakistan Community Korea in which I mentioned about the three pillars of Pakistan
community Korea i.e. the Students, businessman and workers community all together
working under the umbrella of Pakistan Community Korea. This blog get a viral
read in different countries and become very famous as was published in a renowned
website of IAG 2014. Many of my foreigner friends were surprised as they said
we didn’t know about such an organized community of Pakistan in Korea. This was really proud moment for me to get
this kind of response but “all was not good as we can see all is not good”. Facts
cannot be changed with the use of pen. And the fact is that we still need a lot
of improvements to be one of the most organized communities of Korea. We people
are divided in groups on the basis of our personal likes and dislikes. We love
our egos more than anything else. And that is why we are unable to keep our
progress in the right direction. As Iqbal Said”
“Khud Badalty Nahi, Quran Ko Badal daithay hain”.
We know our loop wholes, we know what our discrepancies are,
but we don’t want to change our selves, we don’t want to bring a positive revolution
in our lives. In fact we don’t want to surrender our egos toward our mutual
benefits. We are doing politics even sitting abroad. In this respect we keep
our priorities first putting the national interest behind. Look, what we are doing in Korea, these days spreading
an environment of disrespect and haters through face book and internet. We are
spreading rumors against each other’s. There are solutions for every problem
but we are doing the opposite things.
For God sake my friends, it’s not time to be divided, rather it’s
time to put our hands together to bring peace and prosperity to our community
and our country. Let us make this day (the 23 March) a day of commitment with ourselves
that we would always prefer the interest of nation putting our ego behind. As a
matter of fact, to go to a high status, we need to forgive on certain issues
and things. Sometimes we need to absorb all those things which are against our
mood, to gain respect we need to give it first to every person around us.
I would present my own poem specially written for this occasion,
Ao
Ik Nai Muhabbat Ke Shuruaat Karian
Wo
mUhabbat K nahi Koi Jafa ho jisme
Wo
Muhabbat k nahi koi Khafa ho usme
Wo
Muhabbat k na umeed-e-sila ho Jisme
Ao
Ik Nai Muhabbat Ke Shuruaat Karian
Wo
Muhabbat K rahay ZInda-o-Javed sada
Wo
Muhabbat K rahay Naghma-e-Dilawaiz sada
Wo
Muhabbat k rahay Payyar say Labraiz sada
Ao
Ik Nai Muhabbat Ke Shuruaat Karian
Wo
Muihabbat K jo Dunya say mitha day nafrat
Wo
muhabbat k samandar ma baha day nafrat
Wo
muhabbat k dilon say jo Bhula day nafrat
Ao Ik Nai Muhabbat Ke
Shuruaat Karian
Wo Muhabbat K Jo abad rahy
Shaad rahay
Wo Muhabbat jo teri yaad
say Abad rahay
Wo Muhabbat k Jo har hal
ma Azad rahay
Ao Ik Nai Muhabbat Ke
Shuruaat Karian

Cricket
This
is the game that everyone from my country and many countries of Asia will be
planning to watch and nobody will miss a minute of the matches. Yes, Cricket is
our craze. Pakistan team is very competitive and one of the top ranked teams
internationally since beginning and is famous for its unpredictability overall
and its evergreen bowling attack. Entitled with world champion couple of times
within different formats of the Cricket matches i.e., One Day Matches and T20
Matches, Pakistan team is always having top class players who have fan following
from all over the world just like currently one of the top three bowlers and
all-rounder’s in international ranking are from Pakistan. Cricket in Asian
Games will be nerve cracking as many historical rivals will be face to face.
Pakistan India Match is still the most awaited and most revenue generating
match in International Cricket. Both teams are looking forward to win this
Asian Games title. I wish to witness my team matches in Korea and I support my
team with full devotion and sportsman spirits.
Field
Hockey
Field
Hockey is national sports of Pakistan. Pakistani team has won world title in
Hockey many times. It was the time that Pakistani team remained unbeaten for
many years, and still its winning habit is not changed. Hockey has been famous
in our region since early nineteen’s even. Pakistan has produced quality
players having world records. In the past, the Pakistan hockey team had
set a world record of four Hockey World Cup titles. Sohail Abbas holds
the current world record of 338 goals for most international goals scored by a
player in the history of international field hockey. Similarly Pakistan Field

other countries as well.
Squash
Squash
is the game of stamina, spirit, passion, hard work and devotion all together in
an individual. This is the sport in which Pakistan has achieved most success.
Pakistan ruled over the squash arena like no other country in the world. Best
era was of continuous five decades during which world class record breaking players
one after each other kept on emerging. It reached its peak in the 1980s and
1990s during the reigns of Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan. Between 1950 and
1997, Pakistan amassed over 30 British Open titles and 14 World Open titles.
Jehangir's world records are to be champion of ten consecutive British Opens
and going undefeated for a continuous period of sixty-six months. Together with
Jahangir Khan, Jansher Khan able to win big titles for Pakistan alternatively.
And after that Jansher Khan alone remain on the top for five years. Currently
there are many names in Pakistan Squash squad like Amir Atlas and Aqib Hanif.
Pakistan is looking forwards to present well in coming Asian Games 2014 to be
held in Incheon, South Korea.
Volleyball
Volleyball
is also famous in Pakistan and is played regularly at the domestic level.
Pakistan Volleyball team has been struggling in the past although it has won
good positions in some of the important tournaments like South Asian Federation
Games and Commonwealth Games. Our team is still at 7 in rank in Asia. Like
other sports Pakistan is looking forward to excel this game as well by showing
its enthusiasm and abilities by players. No doubt Pakistan Volleyball team can
bring upsets in coming Asian Games and all eyes will be on this team.
Kabbadi:
Pakistani
Kabbadi team is one of the best team in the world Kabbadi playing teams. They
are always a source of amusement and pleasure for the Kabbadi lovers. Pakistani
team shows a great talent in the 2103 World cup in India and they made their
place in the final unbeaten. They lost the final to India; however they got a
lot of appreciation in their homeland for their outstanding performance. It is
believed that Pakistani player will try to get a gold medal in the 2014 Incheon
Asian Games.

ever..

Welcome Party for 3rd K Supporters [Buzz Korea]
The 3rd K performance supporter’s party was
arranged on March 20th, 2014 in VIPS near myeongdong by the Korea Tourism
Organization. It was a most awaited party since there was no activity from KTO
since January 2014. Like previous year the best K Supporters have to get some
prizes for their outstanding performance all the way in 2013. We were offered a
nice buffet in dinner with plenty of foods, drinks and sweet dishes. The newly
appointed K Supporters for session-3 seemed very energetic with smiles on their
faces. Unlike previous session food was nice but the overall management was really
disappointing. The seats arrangements were not proper. It didn’t seem from any
point that it is a welcome party for the K Supporters or prize distribution ceremony
for the talented bloggers. There was a haphazard
all around. The prize distribution ceremony was performed in the KABOOM Theater
which not a suitable place to do this kind of events.
I think KTO has learned that no matter what you offered and
how you treated the K Supporter’s they are writing blogs for you. I have a
quick compare of both the sessions of K Supporters. In previous sessions they
offered some nice programs outside Seoul and overnight stay at weekends (Like
Yeosu & F1 formula race). This time too I was expecting the same response from
them but they didn’t offer those opportunities. Although there were some big
events like previous years in different cities of Korea. Now In the K Supporters
Session-3 they are offering free tickets only to you and not to our friends.
This again is a discouraging act from the KTO. I would strongly recommend KTO
to reconsider their decision of providing just one ticket to K Supporters.
It is always believed to get some honor in response to your
work for any agency or organization. Look, the K Supporters are spending their
time and money to cover the events and write their blogs and survey. They deserved
to be awarded with some more attractive prizes including Travel cards, hotel
vouchers, cameras and cash prizes big amounts). There should be a special events
like the, “Buzz Korea Awards “fully covered by media and the high officials of
the Korean Tourism Organization for the prize distribution. This is how the K
Supporters would feel privileged. This time the ceremony was much worse than
the previous one. It seemed like they were in hurry to finish the event. Any
how I would looking forward to have some new performances.
Being the K-1 Supporter of session-1 and K-2nd
supporter for the session-3 I believed these suggestions should be taken positively
to make the K Performance Supporters session-3 a better choice for all the
supporters.
