Post Graduate Challenges

Convocation is a very promising event; it marks the end of a journey and the beginning of another. It is the threshold between the student life and the professional life.
The end of student life opens the floodgates of expectations and the questions about the job of a person. In the case of a girl, people expect her to get engaged soon after the graduation.
Analysing the case of a man, when he graduates his relatives i.e. uncles , cousins etc. start asking about his job , they ask so many questions that a person gets mentally exhausted. The people who do not talk to you properly the whole year, do not greet you properly, and are least interested to meet you, start to take interest in your job status.
If a person is doing a temporary job, he again confronts the same situation as above and in addition to it salary is discussed, the company is analyzed etc. If the person is an introvert he tries to avert the situation by not responding to their questions. Sometimes he tries to avert the situation by forwarding fallacious information, but lying brings more harm than good. And it is better to tell half-truth than a lie, as a Russian proverb says:
“It is better to be slapped with a truth, than to be kissed with a lie.”
Diverting to the case of a girl, when she graduates, people start to ask her about her engagement and marriage. They try to depress her by saying depressing words. Whenever she encounters her relatives or acquaintances, they repeat the same questions. She finds herself in the midst of a very complex situation, as these matters are not in human hands and are decided by divine decree.
These situations prevail until a man finds a proper job and in case of a girl , it continues until she gets engaged.
One must not take these situations seriously and must not pay attention to them. Everyone’s fate is unseen and whatever it is, it is for a greater good. Everyone’s destiny waits for him, the only thing that he must do is to believe in him and not to pay attention to the depressing words of people. He should remain firm and should work hard in his present for a better future.
As Master Ogway told Po in Kung Fu Panda (2008):

“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that’s why it is called present.”

Dry wells: an autobiographical account of a petroleum engineer

I was standing in the que for the varsity medical examination unaware of the future (mis) adventures and dreaming about the life ahead when suddenly my turn came and I passed the medical examination. The next day I had to select an engineering discipline from a cluster of 17 unique departments at the NED University. Every student aspires to get an admission in a prestigious institution, but in his obsession to get admitted to a university he/she fails to assess the value of the discipline of his choice. I selected Petroleum Engineering as my father wished me to opt for it. It is different from other disciplines and usually unrelated to them. Here you measure reservoir permeability and porosity instead of shear force and torque (in the mechanical engineering). It was a modest batch of 50 students (modest as compared to the batches in the other departments). We were all very excited through the first year and then dark clouds began to gather over us as the industry face...

NED Diaries

In the beginning (1 st year) I was like a machine gun that continuously fired words that were beyond the comprehension of people. I had few friends as most people avoided me. In the second year I gained some control over my words, though not completely and I started to make some friends. In the third year I almost became a celebrity, as most of the class discovered my talent and I gathered yet another bunch of friends. The third year was the best year in the university life, we had lots of fun and most importantly I discovered Fatima, though I did not have enough courage to talk to her. Taha had to bear two internships with me during that year. The final year was a gloomy year, though we had a little bit of fun, it was a total reign of boredom. The only memorable event in the final year was the visit to Mari Gas Company, the movies that I watched with Belal and the drafting of the constitution of the SPE. Drawing class Engineering drawing was a boring subject,...

Despicable Hitler?

Napoleon once said: History is the version of the past events that people have decided to agree upon. Adolf Hitler, the so called worst dictator of all times has also been victimized by the historians and chroniclers. It is true that he was an autocratic ruler, he was a war monger and his actions led to massive destruction not only in Europe but throughout the globe. He was not the only one to do so, his predecessors from the civilized world and from the great democracies have also committed same crimes but, as they were victors, no one blames them for their acts of maintaining the civilized order of the world. To this day the media including the print and the electronic media portray the Nazis as a band of psychopaths who first captured Europe and then unleashed their reign of terror, conducted the genocide of the European Jews known as the holocaust and in the end were defeated by the Allies. No one says that Nazi rivals committed all those crimes that were committed by them d...
