Is Campus Crime an issue in Karachi?

Today I read about the British foreign minister saying that there are many bogus colleges in UK... !! Keep this in mind if you see an ad. somewhere or get a spam...!!!! As for campus crimes, I think atleast in karachi, private-college/uni students don't need to worry at all.. it's all safe here... some hostel'ites do have pistols but it's because they are new to the city and feel less secure (and btw some of them think keeping a pistol make them look cool - heck!! it's not a guitar)... In the government educational institues, especially in Karachi University, students join political partiies at the time when they're new and looking for people to talk to because it's at this time that the party members come to them and ask them to join their parties. They think that they're more secure that way... And then there is always a tussle between the two well-known-for-violence parties, Jamiat and MQM(APMSO). Whenever we hear abt any act of campus-violence it has some connection with any of the two parties.

I've not heard about any act of violence in my university (IBA), except for when a guy had punch a girl in her face when she'd said something intolerable to him. I don't know what happened to the guy afterwards, but it became a popular story in the uni...!!! Our "female" teacher (let alone the girls) was also laughing when she heard that. No homosexuals and No gays here, not atleast anyone I know about, no rape scene ofcourse.. and not even ragging - 10,000 Rupees fine isn't worth it. We have good pschology teachers who are always available in the counselling hours, though some of them need lessons on student-nature. Four students got dropped from my class last semester, none committed suicide. Last year when a student of LUMS had committed suicide, all the parents were like " Never let studies drive you crazy, if you can't stand exam pressure, just chill around" so it helped students in a way. All other universities in Karachi are more or less similar. Welcome to karachi.

Campus Crime is not an issue in Pakistan. The only issue is Zardari.. and just a few minutes ago I read on someone's status that our democratic government has put a ban on anti-government(anti-zardari) sms or emails. So, if you're sending an sms during a lecture and it has anti-govt content, then it might come under Campus crimes...!!!

Second Opinion:

Campus crimes are a very very big issue in pakistan. Barring a few elitiest universities, its a part of life. Let me quote u a few personal examples when i was in SM commerce college.

Once I saw an APMSO dude minus his vest and shirt. When I looked behind him, it occured to me that someone had driven a knife a few times in his back, but not too deeply because he was good and mad. It was an APMSO an pakhtunkhwa students federation clash. A few days later the APMSO got its back when I saw a PKSF student with lots of blood where his nose shouold have been. A few days later we were sitting on the terrace and a few PKSF people came and divested us of our savings for 'chanda'. Then once when we were sitting in burns garden, the IJT an the ATI islamist groups went to war. There was a heavy gun fire with a bunch of pre-schoolers who had come to the meuseam at burns garden cought in the cross fire. I saw an IJT student opened fire on an ATI dude. Luckily the pistol was desi. By the time he got it to work, the ATI chap was far away. Later when the police came we suddenly realised that we were all SM students and the police was arresting those indiscriminately so we tried to get into the meususm. The police guard at the meuseum had ran away. We threatened to break the meusuem windows if we were not shaltered there from the police.

Those days SM college was one of the most peaceful colleges around next to Dj. Clashes between the two colleges were also common. Classes were disrupted at random. Other colleges were much much worse. The Karachi university ruitinely has students being killed in clashes, while the IJT's islamist student's militia has made life a living hell for universities all over the country. From PU to Bahudeen zakaria, they beat up 'couples', smash music eqipment, disrupt musical evenings and now increasingly armed clashes day in day out.

Response to the Second Opinion:

Yes in govt colleges it's a big issue, in private institutions it doesn't exist. I remember when I was in DJ, we were sitting near the back gate, filling out our enrollment form. It was then that a landrover entered from the main gate and stepped out two APMSO students (supposedly armed) who had come to hit a Jamiat dude who with his supporters ran away immediately and all other students also left the campus right away. The police mobile which was supposed to be there was missing, so one could say that they might have informed the police before entering the college premises. A few days later a teacher was slapped by some APMSO dude and as ridiiculous as it is, the entire college was closed for three days in protest against the political party. These were the two of the three days that I actually went to the college. So, yes Violence is a part of govt. institutes.

I think the problem is in the entire system. The administration can't fix these issues because it is corrupt itself. Teachers are often found sleeping in the faculty room. They give tuitions to college students which I think is not allowed. If teachers and the administration themselves are corrupt how can they expect students to follow rules. And it's tempting for a student to join a political party who knows that the administration just can't do anything for him if he falls in any trouble.By "universities in Karachi" I mean all private institutes in karachi.

Violence is a part of many private colleges too, but it's very easy for one to save oneself from it. I mean, nothing is forced upon anyone. If you punch somone then you can definitely expect a kick in return.

How to give Admission Interview

By:
Salman Gaffar
Anees Hussain

http://www.aneeshussain.com/

The Interview / Group Discussion (GD) process is a VERY IMPORTANT part of the admission process. Through it, universities wish to ensure that the people they choose are of a certain caliber, and will survive the rigors of work. Hence the qualities that universities look for are:

1. Intelligence
2. Confidence
3. Knowledge
4. Respect for others' opinions
5. Creativity
6. A clear vision and ability to set objectives

You may possess none, some or all of the above. It is almost impossible to fool an experienced interviewer. Think about it – the guy taking your interview has probably met hundreds (if not thousands) of people who wanted to take admission. He's probably taught many of them too. So you may think that you are super-cool, but he sure as hell doesn't think so.

Now do the following:

1. Dress smartly:

Guys should wear a tie, dress pants & shirt. If you normally keep a beard, make sure it is in order. If you shave, then shave. Get a hair cut if your hair hasn't been cut for a while. Your clothes should be understated – which means nothing flashy. Girls – You know how to dress smartly. Just do what you do best. Don't overdo the makeup, but don't under-do it either. A small amount of jewelry (nothing flashy) should do. Look like an executive.

2. Group Discussion:

You may be divided into groups of 15 to 20. You will be given a topic, and each candidate will be required to speak on it for a minute each. The first person will get a couple of minutes to think about it before he starts speaking. Do the following:

A) Think of 5 important points that you can talk about on the topic

B) Pick a side – either FOR or AGAINST.

C) Think with your heads, not your hearts. So regardless of what your emotions say, be practical. Choose the side based on how many points you have in your head in favour or against.

D) If you have 5 points on the topic, spending 10 to 12 seconds on each will ensure that you can use the entire one minute to make your case.

E) Remember, you MUST speak for the entire minute. Anything less will not do….

F) Once the individual speeches are made, the entire floor is opened for discussion. Here you must try to take lead and get your point across first. Again, be practical rather than emotional. Be controlled – don't be an aggressive jerk. Use words like "I agree with your opinion – however consider this alternative point of view…." Or "My friend has raised an important issue here, and to further this line of reasoning, consider that….."

G) If you are told not to say anything further, don't worry – that's normal and probably a better thing to happen. Now you can sit back and relax, and enjoy the show. Remember – do not say anything further after you have been asked to shut up.

H) If you have an excellent educational background or a great test score, they shouldn't bother you with too many questions.

I) They will probably ask you something like "Tell us about yourself" – that is an excellent question to be asked. You can win the interview in this question. Start by introducing yourself, a short summary of your educational background, and a full thesis of what you want to achieve in the future. If you can show that you are ABSOLUTELY clear about what you want to achieve in the future, you can really impress them.

J) Another important thing to talk about is what motivates you and what drives you. You can tell them about the people who have had a positive impact in your life – they can be parents, relatives or family friends. Don't talk about super heroes or friends your age (who cannot really have achieved much in life).

K) Why BBA/BCS/BE/IT? That's easy - there are many reasons why one would pursue any degree – it is sought after, it is a sure shot to a fantastic career, it will allow you to follow up with an MBA which is a great degree, etc etc.

L) Questions such as "Your favourite subject" can be a blessing, as long as you are prepared for answering questions on that favourite subject.

M) If the interviewer is trying to anger you or is replying in negative to all that you are saying even though you know what you are saying is right, then control yourself. This guy is acting this way only to see if you can maintain your cool under pressure. React with a nice smile, and say something like: "Sir – you are probably correct in most of the things that you have said. However, according to my information, the following are correct….." For additional effect, add something like : "However, my information could have become outdated – and thus I will review it later".

N) If they ask you a General Knowledge question and you do not know the answer to it, then simply reply : "I have not come across this information / event". No point in trying to guess some thing that you have no idea of. If you know part of it, you can mention that.

O) If you are a good mind reader, try to decipher what is happening inside this person's head. Sometimes, little things in the demeanor can give you an idea of what a person is thinking.

P) At all times, maintain your cool. Do not give smart ass answers such as "I have come here to do my BBA, not to join the Army" if they ask you how many countries lie on the border of Pakistan. Answer questions with honesty and integrity, not brashness or over-confidence.

To me, a great interview requires the following:

1. Making a rapport with the interviewer. Try to exude a positive attitude, and it will be noticed by the interviewer. Show respect, and you will get respect.

2. Keeping the answers crisp and to the point. However, whenever you get the opportunity, take it to talk about your strengths and achievements.

3. Ensuring that the interviewer understands that you have a vision of your future.


Good Luck

Management Versus Engineering

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced altitude and spotted a man below.

She descended a bit more and shouted, "Excuse me, canyou help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago but I don't know where I am."

The man below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.

"I am", replied the man."How did you know?"

"Well, answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip even more."

The man below responded, "You must be in management."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

"Well," said the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems?!!"

Two Little Boys

Two little boys, ages 8 and 10, are extremely mischievous. They are always getting into trouble and their parents know all about it. If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would peak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

The preacher, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly,

"Do you know where God is, son?"

The boy's mouth dropped open, but he made no response, sitting there wide-eyed with his mouth hanging open. So the preacher repeated the question in an even sterner tone,

"Where is God?!"

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed,

"Where is God?!"

The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet, he asked, "what happened?" The younger brother, gasping for breath, replied, "We are in BIG trouble this time".

GOD is missing, and they think we did it !!!!!!!!!!!!

College Admission Essay

This is an actual essay written by a college applicant to NYU. The author was accepted and is now attending NYU.

3A. IN ORDER FOR THE ADMISSIONS STAFF OF OUR COLLEGE TO GET TO KNOW YOU, THE APPLICANT, BETTER,WE ASK THAT YOU ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION:ARE THERE ANY SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCES YOU HAVE HAD, OR ACCOMPLISHMENTS YOU HAVE REALIZED, THAT HAVE HELPED TO DEFINE YOU AS A PERSON?

I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently.

Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat 400.

My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations with the CIA. I sleep once a week;when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only a mouli and a toaster oven.

I breed prizewinning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in SriLanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin.

I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet gone to college.

Why Bill Gates sold off Microsoft

The letter is from Banta Singh of Punjab to Mr. Bill Gates of Microsoft

Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a new computer for our home, and we have found some problems which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button 'start', but there is not 'stop' button. We request you to check this.
2. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friends clicked it and he ran up to Amritsar. So, we request you to change that to 'sit', so that we can click that by sitting.
3. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in the system? I find only 're-cycle' but I own a scooter at my home.
4. There is a 'find' button, but it's not functioning properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot to trace the door key with this 'find' button, but were unable to trace it. Please rectify this problem
5. My child learnt 'Microsoft Word', but now he wants to learn 'Microsoft Sentence'. So when will you provide that?
6. I brought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon that shows 'My computer'. When will you provide the remaining items ?
7. It is surprising that windows says 'My Pictures', but there is not even a single picture of mine. So, when will you keep my pictures in that?
8. There is 'Microsoft Office'. What about 'Microsoft Home' since I use the PC at home only?
9. You provided 'My Recent Documents', when will you provide 'My Past Documents' ?
10. You provided 'My Network Places'. Please for God sake do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want my wife to know where I go after office hours.

Regards,

Banta

And one last question Mr. Gates,

Sir how is it that you name is 'Gates' but you are selling 'windows' ?
