Afridi's retirement: A joke to cry

Afridi, who announced his retirement after differences with team management, interestingly did not get separate time to speak with President Zardari in recent meeting for flood relief to discuss his retirement decision review.

Sources said in meeting when an official tried to break ice on Afridi's matter President Zardari just smile, while PCB Chairman was also present.

However, after head coach Waqar Younis's tenure came to an end after the farewell he received yesterday, Afridi express his desire to make a come back. Afridi should stop playing this hide n seek game and should make his mind once and for all. He has to understand that Cricket is a team game not individual.

PCB and Pakistan Cricket is already facing a lot of issues ranging from no international cricket to lack of domestic infrastructure, spot fixing to losing the weights of words in ICC, resignation to contractual tenure endings, corruption to bad management of International Ground. Now this retirement issue is making things more complicated for PCB.

An individual can have difference with their coaches, management and your colleagues but it should not be reflected by your outlook as in the end you are representing Pakistan. One will have to treat interest of his team above his preferences.

Namaz Kit for Workplace | نماز پاوچ

عالم اسلام میں جمعہ کو انتہائی مذہبی اہمیت حاصل ہے۔ اس میں سب سے خاص ہفتہ وار، دوپہرمیں ادا کی جانے والی نماز 'نماز جمعہ' ہے۔زمانہ قدیم سے ہی مسلمان اس نماز کو ادا کرنے کیلئے خاص اہتمام کرتے ہیں۔ بیشتر خلیجی ممالک میں اس روز ہفتہ وار تعطیل بھی ہوتی ہے۔ البتہ پاکستان میں اس روز دفاتر معمول کے مطابق کھلے ہوتے ہیں۔ لیکن اس کے باوجود بھی مسلمان نماز جمعہ کو احسن طریقے سے ادا کرنے کی کوشش کرتے ہیں ۔ لیکن کیا آپ کو پتہ ہے کہ اگر آپ اپنے ساتھ ایک نماز پاوچ رکھیں تو اس نماز کو مزید خشوع وخضوع کے ساتھ ادا کیا جا سکتا ہے۔ اس نماز پاوچ میں درج ذیل اشیاء شامل کی جا سکتی ہیں۔ عطر نماز میں خوشبو/ عطر لگانا افضل ہے۔ یہ سماں باندھنے اور کیفیت طاری کرنے میں انتہائی معاون ثابت ہوتا ہے۔ حس شامہ کے ذریعے ہم اپنے ذہن کو پیغام دے سکتے ہیں کہ اب عبادت کا وقت ہوا چاہتا ہے۔ ذاتی طور پر مجھے گرمیوں میں 'روح خس' او سردیوں میں ' عطر شمامہ' پہنا پسند ہے۔ البتہ یہ دونوں بر صغیر کی خوشبوئیں ہیں۔ آپ چاہیں تو عربی خوشبو مثلا عود وغیرہ پہن سکتے ہیں۔ چاہے عطر...

Impact of Compliance in Non-Profit Management

Recently, I had the opportunity to facilitate an evaluation assignment for an organization seeking certification from Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP) . The process reminded me how crucial documentation and compliance are for non-profits and it must not be considered as a burden or dikhawa , but as a pathway to credibility, transparency , and ultimately, greater impact. In addition to that these standardizations and certifications processes provides a moment for the organization to reflect on it accomplishments, astonhishes them on the success, and make them realize what mistakes have turned into habits. It makes them realize how greater transparency and accountability can be a tool to scale-up and growth, instead of reasons to feel vulnerable and exposed. From the perspective of Policy , institutions like PCP, provides an opportunity to standardize, formulaize and improve Pakistan's position in ever evolving global compliance landscape. Every such mini-assignment and expe...

26 lessons I learn from Rejection

Although I am disappointed but I have no doubts over the recruitment process and have no objection on my rejection. Life is full of experiences and lessons, and lesson keep repeating themselves until learnt. Let me share most alarming findings and lessons: 1. Keep your Social Profile Updated All started from here, from Linkedin. I received a message from a Human Resource Personal to contact him on urgent basis. At that point, I did not have any idea why he was asking me to call. 2. Do pick Unknown Numbers I normally pick unknown number until/unless I am really busy. I received a call during office hours but (I don't remember why) I missed it. When I call back the operator was unable to recall who called me and why? But she told it is an HR Agency and if needed, you will contacted soon. (Result : a day wasted) 3. Phone and Face-to-Face Interview might happen on same day It happened with me for the first time. A lady called in mor...
