riends, we are new in arena and you are right in questioning
yourself; Oh! Why this when there are already load of maga-
zines appearing so is this just another or what?
Well guys we are here to talk about hope, to talk about life
and all that you want to shout out to your best pals. Our
audience market is ‘‘all age group’’. Our theme is based upon;
“The most beautiful people we have known are those who
have encounterd defeat, known suffering, known struggle,
known loss and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an admiration, warmth and an understanding of life
that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen. (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross) Together
we promise to become beautiful by illuminating our souls. We are a tiny
lamp but we trust that soon there will be thousands of us illuminating
this nadir.
This release is dedicated to the people of Nepal who witnessed the se-
verest of natural catastrophe. We share our sorrow for the precious lives
lost and stand by the brave people of Nepal. On behalf of our readers we
offer our all out support for their rehabilitation. We are also immensely
grieved by the May 8, 2015 transport helicopter crash in Naltar (north-
ern region of Pakistan) where we lost great souls (HE Mr. Leif Larsen
from Norway, HE Mr. Domingo Lucenario from Philippines, HE Mr.
Burhan Muhammad from Indonesia, Mst. Habibah Mahmud from Ma-
laysia, Mst Heri Listyawati Burhan Muhammad from Indonesia, Major

P
akistan is a beautiful country; it has
been blessed with vast lands, high
mountains, long rivers and unprece-
dented weather systems. Its geography
has given it a pivotal and yet strategic
role in High Asia as well as the South Asian region.
Its lands are fertile and its mountains serve as its
natural defenders. One of the largest chains of riv-
ers makes it best suited for agriculture in the world.
Having that much resource in their hands, it was
necessary that the people of Pakistan turn to be
civilized, educated and well equipped with the
modern day techniques and technologies, so that
they have strong moral courage to stand and strive
for development and social uplift.
Our youths make most of the population of the
country. It is important that the youth be trans-
formed and trained in such a way that they develop
the habit of thinking and creativity so that they
become an asset towards future-building. Have we
put in our best sincere efforts to make it all pro-
ductive? A misdirected youth is like an unguided
missile. Such a youth can waste its potentials and
energies at a place where it is not required. So the
question was how the potential and energy of a
youth should be utilized?
Azm-e-Jawan was made with a clear objective of
building a morally powerful and socially civilized
lot of young and energetic people. Azm-e-Jawan
was therefore raised to have a motto: “Give to
the youth my sighs of dawn; give wings
to these eaglets again, give piercing
vision to those deprived of sight.” The
same idea emerged from the minds of BUITEMS
students. The intention was to lead the stray gazelle
back to the sanctuary as powerful force, just for the
sake of development of Pakistan.
Azm-e-Jawan is a bunch of talented and energet-
ic, motivated and devoted youth. Having limited
financial support, only a pocket money some-

time, they made it possible because of their strong
willpower and determination. It means; if the
intentions are honest and strong, the toughest of
journeys can be made easy and adventurous. The
immediate focus area was the rural area of the Haz-
ara region.
Azm-e-Jawan loves those who work hard and want
to get education. Through a network of over 5,000
people on the social media, the Azm-e-Jawan made
it possible for the talented ones and financially
weak students to pursue their ambition of learning
in various educational institutes. The Azm-e-Jawan
team has always shared its happy moments with
the SOS children. They manage to celebrate Eids
and observe national days with them to make them
feel they are very much alive, loved and owned.
The Azm-e-Jawan organization advocates for se-
curing the rights of citizens and common people.
The youth under its banner offer their hand to help
the district administration in order to plant trees
and run campaigns to meeting targets of planting
saplings.
Moreover, the provision of free medical services,
free technical and formal education, and aware-
ness of social issues, youth career counseling and
youth capacity building remain to be the focus of
young volunteers. Azm-e-Jawan looks forward to
receiving assistance from stockholders and philan-
thropists around the globe. It believes that one can
achieve anything with determination and dedica-
tion.

ver remember the green blade of
grass once handled with utmost
care... or the soft touch of our fingers
over the fragile wings of a butterfly
on a spring afternoon in our child-
hood, or that memory of buying candy floss from a
street vendor? What was it that made the memory
so incredible and pristine that we cherish it to this
day with all its vivid colours and sounds? Surely, we
must have seen life with all its richness and beauty
at that tender age so that it continues to captivate
us, even after all these years, as a distant but power-
ful image in the mind.
The modern age of digital communication can
boast about everything in the universe except
happiness. Can we truly claim to be happy today
with the immense power of the internet that has
brought to our reach everything through a mere
click of a mouse... truly no less than the Alladin’s
magic lamp.
A silent revolution is sweeping across the globe;
most of us are unfortunate to be too engrossed
with our multi tasking lives to pay attention to this
new, and yet ironically ancient concept, that prom-
ises the return of tranquility and contentment in
our lives. This is the concept called ‘mindful-
ness’,which is a state of active, open attention on
the present moment. When you are mindful, you
observe your thoughts and feelings from a dis-
tance, without judging them good or bad. Instead
of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means
living in the moment and awakening to the rich
experience of simply ‘being’.
Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-mo-
ment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily
sensations, and surrounding environment. Mind-
fulness also involves acceptance, meaning that we
pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without
judging them – without believing, for instance, that
there’s a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’way to think or
feel in a given moment. When we practise mindful-
ness, our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in
the present moment rather than rehashing the past
or imagining the future.
Though the concept has its historical roots in Bud-
dhism, it received a complete makeover for the dig-
ital age and entered the mainstream western life-
style, through the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn. I first
got a whiff of the concept during a conversation
with a Finnish Psychiatrist, Dr Hanna Putkonen, in
2012, who considered it to be the elixir of life and
a remedy to all the stressors of modern life. Being
a psychiatrist and a conservative adherent of my
faith, I initially dismissed it as yet another addition
to the yoga, meditation and alternate treatments to
life’s problems. However I became a staunch con-
vert when I first watched Jon Kabat-Zinn speaking
about the concept in a lecture and lo and behold!
“So let man take a close look at the food he eats”
Quran 80:24

I felt that the mindfulness could very well be the
missing link in our lives. The example that struck a
chord with me, was when Zinn described how we
go through every single meal each day without re-
alizing what we have eaten or how exactly it tasted
or tingled our olfactory sense. We don’t have a clue,
as to what we experience most of the time chiefly
on account of our mind wandering in the past or
future. Today mindfulness is a mantra I faithfully
prescribe to all my patients and it has added to my
treatment arsenal for depression, anxiety disorders
and a number of other conditions that plague us.
It has provided me with a fresh perspective and
view and has brought back the colours to a once
dull and mindless pace of life. Buddhism may have
introduced the concept but I firmly believe that
Islam perfected it when it prescribed a specific way
of prayer involving intense focus and mindfulness
five times a day.
The techniques used for mindfulness are simple
and practical and I hope to elaborate upon them in
‘the mindful corner’ in future.

T
he exodus of manpower from developing countries
to the developed countries, for better opportunity
or better future, is a global phenomenon. But the
most common – and detrimental of course – is the
migration of our well-versed educated lot.
The recent trend of globalization has been characterized as the flow
in exchange of goods, services, capital, and informative services and
at high level qualified skilled labor. This transformation of skill is
known as ‘brain drain’.
There are two factors which enforce an individual towards brain
drain: “Push Factors”,which enforce one to leave the
country due to political or economic instability; and “Pull
Factors”, which allure one towards progress and development.
Being a developing country Pakistan is confronted with the great loss
of highly skilled workers going to greener pastures. Though the gov-
ernment offers high incentives in order to retain a critical number of
engineers, scientists, and other professionals in their countries, yet
the survey conducted by South Asia Network of Economic Research
Institutes identifies that the most important cause of the mass de-
parture of skillful people has been identified as a desire to be part of
global knowledge.
Developed countries specifically the Western Europe, the USA, and
the Eastern Asia, led by Japan, established scientific networks com-
prising of scientists from the developed and developing countries in
order to build scientific capabilities.
The foremost reasons of migration are economic ones. Econom-
ic reasons are known as one of the biggest reasons for the brain
drain in any developing country. This category has job approval,
academically progressive environment, improved pay and service
circumstances. A recent study by the World Bank identifies that the

shortage of skilled workers in
a country is the main cause of
its poor industrial growth and
development.
Secondly, all the skilled and
intelligent students are not able
to befittingly get the superior
opportunities to progress well,
and this is the main reason that
the country faces the brain drain
situation. No doubt the skilled
brains are one of the important
factors towards the uplift and
development of a country or
nation, but this drainage hinders
the nations to a greater extent.
The very drainage of talented
individuals, not only hampers
the development process, but
it also decreases the per capita
income as well.
Thirdly, another major reason of
the brain drain is the political in-
stability prevalent in the country
or in the mindsets of the causes
a nation to lose its genesis.
Such instability has brought the
biggest rise in the brain drain in
Pakistan.
The governments need to join
hands together, sit together and
ponder over to formulate a well
thought out strategy in order
to stop the brain drain. There
needs to be more like diplomatic
solutions with the help of which
they can bring full stop to all
the conflicts and brain drain
problems.
Experts say a number of people
leave the country in a desper-
ate situation, thus leaving the
country itself unstable, econom-
ically chaotic and in desperation.
They swamp foreign countries’
embassies with visa applications,
and according to a survey, the
biggest number of applications
are for the British visas where
doctors, lawyers, IT profession-
als, etc are leading the exodus,
whereas the laborers and farm-
hands are joining the queues of
malnourished people who gather
daily outside the US Embassy in
Islamabad. “In Pakistan,
the value placed
for a scientist with
an advanced level
degree is Grade 17
with a salary that is
totally insufficient
to meet the basic
requirements of a
family,”said a dismayed
PhD in Molecular Biology.
It is possible to provide the
emigrated elite of a developing
country with sufficient incen-
tives to re-migrate even if they
have already been living abroad
for a long time and have not yet
built up any productive contact
to their country of origin. Highly
skilled value-added textile work-
ers have been thrown out of job
due to power shortages. Some of
them are running three-wheel
rickshaws. Highly skilled carpet
artisans are working in unskilled
labor markets as they cannot
find work in carpet knitting.
Adding to this, even qualified
doctors are joining civil service,
leaving their profession for good
because the chances of promo-
tion in civil service cadre are
brighter.
The Agha Khan Medical Univer-
sity conducted a study about the
brain drain (of doctors) from Pa-
kistan. As per the research 95%
of the students of AKU and 65%
students of BU want to emigrate
due to poor salary in Pakistan
along with poor quality of train-
ing and work environment this
is now added with poor law and
order situation.
To conclude, the brain drain
is a very complex and vast
phenomenon. In this respect a
brief description about the main
reasons of brain-drain and possi-
ble measures to tackle this issue
in Pakistan’s context has been
given. To stop this brain drain
the government needs to react as
a strong opponent.
Similarly, it should act with a
positive mindset, which may
help not only an individual but
in the development of Pakistan
as well. For the very purpose
the government should employ
those pull factors which enable
to magnetize the skilled. The
pull factors of the migration are
higher wages and income along
with job mobility, also most of
the clients consider professional
career development as a pull
factor to move.
Moreover, most of the emigrants
consider foreign degrees and
modern educational system as
an attractive thing to move; in
short most of them consider
social security is a big reason for
leaving their homeland. Special
schemes in various academic
fields should be launched with
a view to encouraging talents
and career strengthening. At the
government level new projects,
Diasporas and networks must
be encouraged to reimburse
the loss of qualified workers
residing abroad. Good practices
in human resource planning and
management is very important
step for easing educated persons
at their right place. It is also
important for holding highly
skilled manpower to provide
them technical and financial
assistance. Steps must be taken
in the best interest of Pakistan;
otherwise we will lose more and
more competent people. I repeat,
it is important.

YOUTH
PRIDE OF
Nimra Yousaf is the eldest child of Briga-
dier Muhammad Yousaf Awan. Owing to father’s
service she studied at numerous schools with
changing faculties and classes. Brig Yousaf was
selected as Strategic planner at US CENT-
COM at Tampa, Florida in 2011, while she was
studying in Army Public School Kohat.
The remarkable modest young student has a special
thirst for knowledge. Since her childhood she has
always been a shining, intelligent and hardworking
student yet changing over to an all together differ-
ent schooling model and environment in a differ-
ent country was an uphill task she managed it very
courageously and had always kept the flag of the
country high. She is an extremely patriotic girl who
wishes to achieve greatness and project her home-
land, Pakistan. Throughout her school life, she has
been actively participating in both curricular and
extracurricular activities. With her hard work she
has brought laurels to her institutions and parents.
After being shifted from APS kohat to Monroe
Middle School, Tampa, Florida, she adjusted
herself in record time and was recognized as the
brightest student.
She was honored for the highest Grade Point Aver-
age in the state of Florida which was (4.43).
Few glimpses of her other achievements are listed below

FACE TO FACE
Y
es that is right! 80% of the teach-
ers working in the private sector
of Pakistan are female. Moving
away from gender bias, what else
do they have in common? After
reading a few articles, I have realized that approx-
imately 80% of the teachers working in private
sector are unmarried and living with their parents
or brothers. Their families have no respect for their
profession. But here, we cannot blame the families.
As a nation, Pakistani people don’t understand
the key role that teachers play in nation building.
This is because, while other nations are planning
for their future, we are so busy in surviving today;
tomorrow’s planning is nowhere close to our list
of priorities. We can value a teacher only if we
can value tomorrow. Teachers must be given due
respect, so that she can feel special and have a posi-
tive impact in the class room.
I am not much related or have a direct interface
with the classrooms, but as far as historic research
is concerned, the challenge of classroom manage-
ment or discipline tops the list of school’s manage-
ment priorities. 40 to 75% of the classroom time
gets wasted on managing the learners, which is the
major chunk of teaching and learning time. Some-
times external trainers are called for help, who
overload the teachers with the management tech-
niques instead of addressing the reasons for having
low self-esteem. Let’s address this issue now!
Our society value females ONLY when they are
married and there is a stigma attached to crossing
25 and not getting married. No matter what her
capabilities are, her family members (including her
mother) and friends make her feel terrible.
So here is the scenario. The teacher is single; her
family is busy finding a suitable mate for her. At
least once a fortnight she hears the news that she
has been rejected. Then she comes to school,
where she is congested with the management
techniques and directives. And now you have 24 to
30 children acquiring lower self-esteem from their
teacher on permanent basis and then they spew
that out in the form of disciplinary problems.
I think these challenges need attention
and we must start thinking about resolving these challenges
with suitable strategies for better tomorrow.

EDUCAT UM
Let’s flip the side now. Teachers want money be-
cause in Pakistan, the society has taught the young
generation to think about today, only. And for today’s
luxury, they need money. They do not have time
for self-development and hard work. Due to this, I
predict that visionary leadership will get extinct. We
need glory without hard work. And in a long run
this will become a concrete block in the path of our
success.

MEMOIR FOR
THE SOUL
Roha Gul
I
had not seen the world yet. Only on celluloid and paper. All I had was a very limited
experience. Limited to my imagination, to the heart and soul. It was a want, or maybe
a need for me to get out, to be free. When you want it, you need it, and God! Did I
need it…Which destination I will first visit? What places and streets I’ll walk through?
It was all very exciting, deciding where to go, what places to visit? And it wasn’t too
long when the big day finally arrived. I got on board with the fears of planes in my heart,
heading towards my first destination.
My very first destination was Germany, and I started putting my feelings in order. Was I hap-
py? Yes. Was I scared? YES! It was a whole new continent, a whole new way of living, a whole
new location and a whole new experience. I’m only kidding, you should hope.
A little background on Germany:
Germany is a federal parliamentary republic, located in western – central Europe with a
population of 82 million. Germany is a home to cars, beer, bread and philosophers like Kant,
Hegel, and Schopenhauer.
Germans were very welcoming and there’s no doubt that they made us feel like home .I stayed
in Berlin, the capital of Germany. It was stunning .So beautiful and clean as if untouched by
the man’s destroying desire for wealth and power. It was modern, sleek and inspiring. Every-
where I went, I could see public displays of art, affection, anger and hurt. As if no one existed
except them. And I guess that was a good way to live. To not care about what people had to
say, to be free of the restraints imposed by the society. Needless to say, it was a much needed
breeze of fresh air.
In Germany I saw walls splashed with graffiti all over, musicians playing the tunes along the
roadside, a public microphone placed by the train station where anyone could sing if they’d
like and believe me those places were never short of an audience.
I together with a group of people lived in a hostel. Every evening, for dinner, we went to this
Indian restaurant on foot. We would pass this bridge and from there we witnessed the most
beautiful sunset and I swear it was the brightest shade of orange, the sun ever wore. That was
the first sunset of my stay in Germany.
The next morning we took the route to our assigned destination and believe me the way to
the destination was in itself much more fascinating. Enroute to the destination we saw people
of every race, color, creed coming together for a drink, making music, eating, laughing and
dancing.

T RAVEL FACTS
Our mornings were occupied with the distress of getting off
on the right station so that we wouldn’t get lost in a city where
it was so easy to lose one’s way. I had a total of three weeks, to
store all the precious moments I could have, in stock.
	 As we all know, or have heard, one of the most
famous landmarks for Germany is the stalwart Berlin Wall.
Berlin Wall is a barrier that separated East Berlin from West
Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Since day one all we ever wanted
was to witness this great Wall with our bare eyes. We grew
tired of waiting, days kept on passing by. We asked and our
questions went unanswered. Everyday we used to pass by a
wall full of graffiti and indescribable paintings, oblivious to
the fact that it was actually the great Berlin Wall, in all its glo-
ry, tattooed with paintings, art, writing and notes. There were
love notes, slogans, lyrics, anything and everything one could
ever imagine was right there on the wall. It felt as if the wall
had been erected from the hearts and souls of the locals.
	 Never had I seen something so mesmerizing. It went
on for miles and miles. There was this one saying by Varda
Carmeli that was painted on in bold letters, which went some-
thing like…
“Lead me on my dreams among differ-
ent time and space. To share hope with
nations and believers. To observe with
modesty the pure truth. And to reveal
prudently the magic and the mystery.”
	 I wrote my name on the wall too. I wanted it to be
known by all, that I had been there. I guess the attempt was
futile since all I had was a ballpoint and I barely scraped the
surface. If you ever go there, and see the tiny scribbles next to
the painted flames. Guess what? That’s me.
	 I used to go on walks at night with my friends, just
17TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015
walking on the roads, turning towards every corner possible,
never worrying for anything to happen. There was peace.
There was a calmness in the air.Streetlights were lit and we
were together. That is what mattered. We roamed the areas
many times, laughing, observing, taking pictures and most
importantly learning.
We also went to universities, visited malls, cinemas, castles,
theme parks; every place welcomed us with good weather and
great people.
Those were the days when the world cup for soccer was going
on too. Germany was in the finals with Argentina. We had
watched every match before that one and were more than
determined to watch the grand finale so we chose our little
restaurant as the venue and gathered over there cloaked in
German flag , painted in three colors; red, black and gold.
The city was buzzing and going crazy.
Germany won that match! We walked out of the building
screaming on top of our lungs. It was like someone had mixed
something in the air, we were overwhelmed with excitement
and euphoria. Everywhere we looked, there were hundreds of
people celebrating out on the streets. They laughed, clapped,
chanted and screamed. I had never felt more alive and at ease.
And finally the last day of the stay came, it was a dilemmatic
one.
I returned home with a heavy heart but with a bag full of
beautiful stories to share. It was a journey in to the world
where I found my true self.
In the end I have a very important message for my readers.
Travel! Go out and explore the world. I urge you to broaden
your horizons. There is so much to learn from the world. So
much to see. Make that decision, go there. You will never re-
gret something that taught you what you didn’t know before.
You have one life to live, do the justice, make it worth living.

Binqulander, a versatile Calligraph-artist, was
born in Lahore. He obtained a Bachelors of Fine Arts
in Miniature Painting and did his final thesis in digital
lenticular from the National College of Arts, Lahore
(2009). Prior to a Diploma in Calligraphy (2010), he
worked as a graphic designer for ten years. In his Cal-
ligraph-art he uses strong colours and emphasize on
design, which combines geometry with bold swirls
of shapes. With a miniaturist’s attention to detail, he
builds his work in layers using acrylic, silver leaf and
mix medium. The final effect is that the creatively in-
terpreted Arabic or Urdu scripts acquire rich abstract
forms. In doing so, Binqulander transported minia-
ture painting into the realm of contemporary art.
He challenges medium-based restrictions by exper-
imenting with scale and media. Such media include
animation, video, performance, mural, and collab-
oration with other artists. Binqulander, working on
his first animation, a natural extension of his interest
in layering. He was working on a miniature painting
and decided to scan in Photoshop each change he is
trying to document the metamorphosis of the work.
Binqulander has had five solo shows, including those
in Lahore, Karachi, UAE and participated in several
group exhibitions in Pakistan, UAE, USA, Oman and
in Malaysia. Binqulander conducted six workshops
including those in Pakistan, UAE and Oman.

ntrepreneurship is a key
element towards the erad-
ication of unemployment
and supporting the social,
political and economic con-
ditions of any state, as it gives and creates
opportunity for employment. With that
entrepreneurial education benefits the
entrepreneurship as observed by Charney,
in his book “Impact of Entrepreneurship
Education Insights”. Due to this, it has
been the mode of discussion through
decades by scholars and economical think
tanks throughout the world.
Self Confidence The Driving
Force towards
Entrepreneurial Intent
Entrepreneurship is the creativity of busi-
ness ideas which materializes into big ven-
tures and those ventures help support the
nation. For this, the entrepreneurial intent
is the force that makes the entrepreneurs
motivated, practically. Entrepreneurs lead
themselves through big time lapses and
troubles; only one thing keeps them going
and fighting to all odds and that is how
well they are trained.
In this article which is an abstract of a re-
search paper published in an international
journal, the focus is on the factors
which affect the entrepreneurial
intent of the students. Business stu-
dents are the key in entrepreneurial
field and if they are trained well on
the grounds from their university
level, they are much mature to hold
the market after few years.
Affecting factors are extracted as
perceived structural support i.e.
governmental support programmes.
Perceived relational support includes
relatives, family and friends; Per-
ceived educational support includes
the educational structural support in
our institutes especially universities.
The attitude towards entrepreneur-
ship is self motivation level towards
business and self confidence as
driving force affecting over the en-
trepreneurial intent of students. Self
confidence came out as the power to
be reckoned with in extracting and
pushing the entrepreneurs to achieve
their goals.
These factors were one by one
measured and proved by getting the
results analyzed through 400 samples
of the questionnaires distributed, 100
each, in four different universities in
Pakistan, including two private and
two public universities. The related
results were then compared together

ST RUGLER
Bilal Bangash
to see where the private and public institutes stood in terms of
entrepreneurship studies and motivations.
The key factor affecting the entrepreneurial intent is the
self confidence. In Pakistan where we lack entrepreneurial
support systems, only one thing which is even then making
entrepreneurs striving ahead to be entrepreneur is the self
confidence. Self confidence is the only defining factor which
drives the entrepreneurs to achieve their objectives besides all
odds.
It is to be noted that this research does not stick to only the
market within Pakistan but in fact the references are taken
in a way in which Pakistan is compared to the international
standards and countries that have taken measures in terms
of enhancing their educational support, structural support,
relational support towards making the young students more
motivated in the field of business. More importantly this
includes countries like Turkey, China, Malaysia, the USA,
Europe, Peru and India.
This research finds problem, gives comparative analysis, and
more importantly, gives solution of how to deal with this
problem and what measures should be taken in Pakistan.
The best solution recommended is that all business students
should be trained and motivated with attitude of being entre-
preneurs rather than being on a job. And suggested to all edu-
cation policymakers and universities to sit together and make
ruling of not allotting degrees to business students unless they
don’t end up establishing small or big but their own business
ventures.
Through this more business educated brains will get into the
market and within 10 years this policy will dynamically and
revolutionarily change Pakistan’s local market to international
standards and will extend support to greater extent to the
employment problem of the state.

A
s technology improves every day,
new developments are constantly
infiltrating our lives. Whether it’s
the way you shop, how you com-
municate with friends, the job you
do, or the way you travel, technology is transform-
ing the way we behave.
1.The Internet has become a main source of
medical information. It goes without saying that
more and more people are using the Internet to
research their medical issues. This means not only
looking up symptoms, but exploring treatments
and medicines on the web. While it is never a good
idea to skip out on the doctor completely, the Inter-
net has made patients more empowered to make
decisions about what to do next.
2.Healthcare facilities are reaching patients us-
ing social media. It is easy to see how public clinics,
doctor offices, and even research facilities can take
advantage of social media tools to reach wider
populations. And there is evidence that they are
going above and beyond. Healthcare facilities, par-
ticularly hospitals, are using social media to estab-
lish contact with patients, answer questions about
practices, launch public awareness campaigns, and
perform community outreach. Some sophisticated
sites even offer instant chats with nurses and doc-
tors about medical issues and reminders for people
to get regularly needed tests and vaccines.
3.Better treatment and less suffering. Let’s
not forget the most obvious way technology has
changed healthcare by providing new machines,
medicines, and treatments that save lives and im-
prove the chance of recovery for billions. Not only
do sophisticated medical practices help patients
heal directly new technology has also improved
research so experts can make healthcare even more
effective.
4.Improved patient care and worker efficiency.
Information technology has made patient care
safer and more reliable than before. Nurses and
doctors use hand-held computers to record a
patient’s medical history and check that they are
administering the correct treatment. Results of lab
tests, records of vital signs, and medicine orders are
all electronically put into a main database that can
be referred to later. And as more institutions are
adopting electronic health records, patients have
easier access to their own information so they too
can understand what is being done to them. These
electronic databases are also consolidating large
amounts of information that are used for medical
research. With vast patient history, scientists can
better study trends and causes of ailments. This
means more breakthroughs to come.

5.Doctors are easier to reach and better at their
jobs. Technology has also enabled doctors to use
e-mail, texts, videos, and conference facilities to
consult colleagues from all over the world. This
practice, known as telemedicine, is especially use-
ful for doctors and patients in rural and under-de-
veloped areas. Without moving patients, doctors
can consult experts from all over the world to diag-
nose, treat, and research conditions without need-
ing access to a sophisticated hospital. Telemedicine
was used effectively after the 2010 Haiti earthquake
and will no doubt be refined for future use.
6.Online databases can accurately predict medi-
cal trends. Of course, not every person who search-
es for “flu” is actually sick, but a pattern emerges
when all the flu-related search queries are added
together. We compared our query counts with
traditional flu surveillance systems and found that
many search queries tend to be popular exactly
when flu season is happening. “By counting
how often we see these search que-
ries, we can estimate how much flu
is circulating in different countries
and regions around the world.”
This breakthrough will help medical experts re-
spond to outbreaks quickly as well as take preven-
tative measures as more and more people use the
web to search for their own medical problems.

Positive and
Negative
Effects of
Facebook on
Our Society
A
lthough Facebook was created with the concept of
allowing students and young adults to share their
common interests, but with the time passing, it has
lost its true essence. Started often as a time pass, it be-
comes an addiction which is annoying at times. As a
matter of fact, Facebook is a very useful medium if used within certain
limits. Let’s have a look over some of its positive and negative effects on
society:
Positive Effects on Society
•	 It is very beneficial for the ones who are far away from their
loved ones and want to keep in touch, especially, it is found to be a
great source of association for the armed forces personnel when they
are far from their homes.
•	 Families settled abroad want to have strong communication
link with their homeland and its inhabitants.
•	 It is very helpful for people who feel shyness in social inter-
action. It is a useful source to make friends and share your thoughts
easily.
•	 Persons who are restricted to their homes due to any sort of
disability or environmental factors find a way to deal with their isola-
tion.
•	 You are able to get connected with old friends and refresh
your bond.
•	 It also helps people to find online friends with common inter-
ests living in different locations and then make this virtual friendship a
real world friendship.
•	 When you are caught up in a tiring task and want a quick
refreshing break, Facebook proves to be highly favorable.
TheFortune | Sep-Oct 201528
VIRT UALIST IC
Negative Effects on Society
•	 The biggest drawback of Facebook is that it has a
very narrow border line between favorite pass time and addic-
tion. One starts using it initially to catch friends and ultimate-
ly ends up with a lot of lavish time in taking playful quizzes
and exploring various Facebook applications.
•	 It is quite distracting if not used within limits, for
instance, a student may adopt the habit of updating his online
status twice an hour. This is the reason that you will find
many adults stick to their mobile phones and laptops to check
social networking websites frequently.
•	 People busy in their lives feel easy to communicate
through Facebook but at times it becomes very annoying
when virtual communication takes place of real life meetings.
•	 Being a part of your family members’ life is good,
but knowing about each and every moment of others personal
lives can prove to be very dangerous at times. Involving others
even in your small decisions or forcing your ideas in others
decisions is hazardous for personal liberty.
•	 Facebook has given rise to gossiping as well, as
people have found an easy way to get updates about others
personal lives.
Finding the Right Balance
	 It is difficult, yet very important to find a right
balance between entertainment and burden. Use Facebook
positively to share your thoughts and keeping yourself aware
of the surroundings, but don’t cross the safe distance. Try to
catch friends weekly or monthly rather than updating them
moment to moment.

How
Technology
Is Affecting
Creatives!
T
here is no doubt at all that tech-
nology has advanced, changed
and in some cases destroyed the
way creatives create, develop and
present work. The developments of
technology in the last few years has brought society
into a new world but has it truly given us all such a
positive bounty – the art world’s top names discuss
creativity and craftsmanship in new Liberatum
film, ‘Artistry/Technology’.
Directed by Pablo Ganguli and Tomas
Auksas in a 13 minute docu-film they present
us with some of the greatest creative minds of our
time responding to the technological revolution in
their industries. The visionaries involved include:
David Hockney, Francis Ford Coppo-
la, Susan Sarandon, MIA, Marc Quinn,
Miranda July, Frank Gehry , Ed Ruscha
and Brett Ratner have all revolutionized their
industries.
It provides us with insightful opinions and dis-
cussion on how our world has changed and how

The first technology is brushes, pencils, pens, things like that – the technol-
ogy that you draw with. I got an iPhone and then I found you could draw on
it. I’d draw flowers and things, I made about 200 drawings. Then I read about
the iPad, so I thought, well the moment the iPad’s out I’ll get that, because
drawing on a bigger thing would be better. – David Hockney.
creatives are benefiting and empowering technolo-
gy to fuel creativity. Some respond with a positive
outlook and grasp this technology with both hands
such as Hockney. Others like Francis Ford Coppola
comment on the obvious we take for granted such
as moving image and Marc Quinn finds most inter-
esting the fine line between our physical world and
our virtual world.
However not all are majorly positive on technology
due to the fact we rely on it so much and the addic-
tion we have with it. Susan Sarandon comments on
our dysfunctional relationship with the world due
to technology and MIA responds with respect to
those who have grown up without it.
Co-director Tomas Auksas com-
ments that “It is an exciting time to be an
artist” which I believe is true for those
adapting to it. Channelling creative vision is
complex and the relationship not only the creative
industry has with technology but also other indus-
tries can be a tricky. The film itself does not give a
final conclusion however it does provide an insight
of opinions and discussion.

On the border they are fighting
About them i am writing
They don’t fear guns or knives
Having a bold heart in their chest
They are giving God their lives.
We’re all lonely and broken people.
We’re all waiting to be completed.
We’re all seeking the Grand,
And that what keeps us breaking
We expect, we want, but we don’t do.
We demand, we complain, but we don’t try.
And so, we keep on breaking.
Leaving the Earth beneath the feet shaking
Till the Nothing also fades and we’re empty…
“Shape without form, shade without color,
Paralyzed force, gesture without motion;
Remember us—if at all—not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men”
…We must accept that hand and let it fit in ours.
We must accept the light and let it dominate the dark.
We must give ourselves to be taken by others.
We must accept, to eventually be accepted.
And only then, the Grand will come rushing to us on its own.
With all its fulfilling ideas, dominating the Nothing, only then, we can be completed.

Never Unsaid Arslan
I never want this to go unsaid,
And so this poem is for all to be said.
There are no words to express how much you mean to me,
A son like you, I thought could never be.
Because the day you were born, I just knew,
God sent me a blessing- and that was you.
For this I thank Him every day,
You are the true definition of a son, in every way.
It is because of you that my life has a meaning,
Becoming a mom has given me a whole new set of feelings.
I want you to know that you were the purpose of my life,
Out of everything I did- it was you that I did, flawlessly right.
Always remember that I know how much you care
I can tell by the relationship that we share.
For a son like you there could be no other,
And whether we are together or apart,
Please do not ever forget-
You will always have a piece of my heart
The sincerest love is the love for food,
But what do you do when you’ve got weight to lose.
I’m bored to death; I need to go online,
But what do, load shedding has no fixed time.
I watch T.V and that’s all I do,
But what to do when revision in school seems new?
Allah is the creator of all and is to be obeyed,
But what do when people have lost faith?
Sixteen billion people on the mother earth,
But what to do when no one knows its worth?
The moon, the stars, the rainbow, the sun,
I wish electricity could be supplied by any one.
There is so much to do like exploration and invention,
But what to do when you’re stuck in detention?
Hit the books to get good scores,
But what to do when exams are so close?
My neighbor bullies me and my mom says to fight back,
But what to do when her karate belt is black?
What to do?

ristiano Ronaldo dos Santos
Aveiroor, mostly known as Cristiano Ronaldo,
is one of the greatest players in the history of football.
Belonging to a humble background, he is the youngest
son of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and José Dinis
Aveiro. He has one brother and two sisters. His father was a farmer, after he
died Ronaldo’s mother became a cook. Ronaldo is named after a Holly-
wood star and President Ronald Reagan.
Fortune favors the brave; Ronaldo got selected for Clube Desportivo
Nacional of Madeira. After winning the heart of his team and Europe, he
joined the Manchester United, an English Premier League Club in 2003.
A goal machine for Manchester United, who put them on the top, liter-
ally moves like a ghost on field. No one could even see the ball while he
dribbles, the ruling king of the football. No one would even dare to snatch
the ball from him. But then a grim day came for Red devils, when he was
sold to a Spanish league’s Giant club named Real Madrid. His selling
price was whooping $131 million.
He became even better in Real Madrid and became the ultimate goal
machine. He was on the top until a new player named Lionel Messi rooted
from Argentina and played in Barca Club arrived and became the top
player. From then onwards famous feud between Ronaldo and Messi came
forth, but Ronaldo is still going strong, also having more social media
followers than Messi. Ronaldo is more reputable than even from Eden and
more expensive than emerald from oceans.
In the latest estimates CR7 would cost another club more than 141
million Euros. Ronaldo is a kind hearted man. Even if Messi is his biggest
rival, Ronaldo thinks of him as a friend and every documentary and blog
we see about their rivalry, one has always read that Ronaldo and Messi are
actually folks. His humanitarian work is proudly to be mentioned here as
Ronaldo donates half of his salary to the poor and needy people. He loves
his fans. In professional eyes, Ronaldo is still the best player of the world
because he has true sportsman spirit. Last but not the least, no money can
separate CR7from the love of football.

Asian Chicken Salad
Serves 6
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil (optional)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 (8 oz.) package dried rice noodles
1 head iceberg lettuce, rinsed, dried, and
chopped
4 boneless chicken breast halves, cooked
and shredded
3 green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
How do we do it
•	 Prepare the dressing 30 minutes ahead of time by
combining the brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, salad
oil, and rice vinegar in a salad dressing carafe.
•	 To prepare the Chinese rice noodles, heat a skillet
with a few tablespoons of oil and break off a little bit of the
noodles and add them to the skillet and fry them. They will
puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time. As they
begin to puff up, remove and drain them on paper towels.
Be sure to cook long enough as the under cooked noodles
will be like eating needles. Once cooked, add them to the
salad mixture.
•	 In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce, cooked
and shredded chicken, green onions and toasted sesame
seeds. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving
add the cooked rice noodles.
•	 Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a
pourable container so your family can add as much dress-
ing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the
top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.

Well guys we are here to talk about hope, to talk about life and all that you want to shout out to your best pals. Our audience market is ‘‘all age group’’. Our theme is based upon; “The most beautiful people we have known are those who have encounterd defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an admiration, warmth and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross) Together we promise to become beautiful by illuminating our souls. We are a tiny lamp but we trust that soon there will be thousands of us illuminating this nadir. This release is dedicated to the people of Nepal who witnessed the se- verest of natural catastrophe. We share our sorrow for the precious lives lost and stand by the brave people of Nepal. On behalf of our readers we offer our all out support for their rehabilitation. We are also immensely grieved by the May 8, 2015 transport helicopter crash in Naltar (north- ern region of Pakistan) where we lost great souls (HE Mr. Leif Larsen from Norway, HE Mr. Domingo Lucenario from Philippines, HE Mr. Burhan Muhammad from Indonesia, Mst. Habibah Mahmud from Ma- laysia, Mst Heri Listyawati Burhan Muhammad from Indonesia, Major Altamash, Major Faisal and Naib Subedar Zakir from Pakistan. We pray for the speedy recovery of HE Mr. Andrzej Ananicz from Poland, HE Mr. Marcel de Vink from Netherlands HE Mr. Emilian Ion from Roma- nia, HE Mr. Hasrul Sani Mujtabar from Malaysia and HE Mr. Mpendulo Jele from South Africa.

  • 4. AzzmeJawan P akistan is a beautiful country; it has been blessed with vast lands, high mountains, long rivers and unprece- dented weather systems. Its geography has given it a pivotal and yet strategic role in High Asia as well as the South Asian region. Its lands are fertile and its mountains serve as its natural defenders. One of the largest chains of riv- ers makes it best suited for agriculture in the world. Having that much resource in their hands, it was necessary that the people of Pakistan turn to be civilized, educated and well equipped with the modern day techniques and technologies, so that they have strong moral courage to stand and strive for development and social uplift. Our youths make most of the population of the country. It is important that the youth be trans- formed and trained in such a way that they develop the habit of thinking and creativity so that they become an asset towards future-building. Have we put in our best sincere efforts to make it all pro- ductive? A misdirected youth is like an unguided missile. Such a youth can waste its potentials and energies at a place where it is not required. So the question was how the potential and energy of a youth should be utilized? Azm-e-Jawan was made with a clear objective of building a morally powerful and socially civilized lot of young and energetic people. Azm-e-Jawan was therefore raised to have a motto: “Give to the youth my sighs of dawn; give wings to these eaglets again, give piercing vision to those deprived of sight.” The same idea emerged from the minds of BUITEMS students. The intention was to lead the stray gazelle back to the sanctuary as powerful force, just for the sake of development of Pakistan. Azm-e-Jawan is a bunch of talented and energet- ic, motivated and devoted youth. Having limited financial support, only a pocket money some- 4 TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015 T HE START ER Bilal Iqbal

It means; if the intentions are honest and strong, the toughest of journeys can be made easy and adventurous. The immediate focus area was the rural area of the Haz- ara region. Azm-e-Jawan loves those who work hard and want to get education. Through a network of over 5,000 people on the social media, the Azm-e-Jawan made it possible for the talented ones and financially weak students to pursue their ambition of learning in various educational institutes. The Azm-e-Jawan team has always shared its happy moments with the SOS children. They manage to celebrate Eids and observe national days with them to make them feel they are very much alive, loved and owned. The Azm-e-Jawan organization advocates for se- curing the rights of citizens and common people. The youth under its banner offer their hand to help the district administration in order to plant trees and run campaigns to meeting targets of planting saplings. Moreover, the provision of free medical services, free technical and formal education, and aware- ness of social issues, youth career counseling and youth capacity building remain to be the focus of young volunteers. Azm-e-Jawan looks forward to receiving assistance from stockholders and philan- thropists around the globe. It believes that one can achieve anything with determination and dedica- tion. 5TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015
  • 6. E ver remember the green blade of grass once handled with utmost care... or the soft touch of our fingers over the fragile wings of a butterfly on a spring afternoon in our child- hood, or that memory of buying candy floss from a street vendor? What was it that made the memory so incredible and pristine that we cherish it to this day with all its vivid colours and sounds? Surely, we must have seen life with all its richness and beauty at that tender age so that it continues to captivate us, even after all these years, as a distant but power- ful image in the mind. The modern age of digital communication can boast about everything in the universe except happiness. Can we truly claim to be happy today with the immense power of the internet that has brought to our reach everything through a mere click of a mouse... truly no less than the Alladin’s magic lamp. A silent revolution is sweeping across the globe; most of us are unfortunate to be too engrossed with our multi tasking lives to pay attention to this new, and yet ironically ancient concept, that prom- ises the return of tranquility and contentment in our lives. This is the concept called ‘mindful- ness’,which is a state of active, open attention on the present moment. When you are mindful, you observe your thoughts and feelings from a dis- tance, without judging them good or bad. Instead of letting your life pass you by, mindfulness means living in the moment and awakening to the rich experience of simply ‘being’. Mindfulness means maintaining a moment-by-mo- ment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment. Mind- fulness also involves acceptance, meaning that we pay attention to our thoughts and feelings without judging them – without believing, for instance, that there’s a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’way to think or feel in a given moment. When we practise mindful- ness, our thoughts tune into what we’re sensing in the present moment rather than rehashing the past or imagining the future. Though the concept has its historical roots in Bud- dhism, it received a complete makeover for the dig- ital age and entered the mainstream western life- style, through the work of Jon Kabat-Zinn. I first got a whiff of the concept during a conversation with a Finnish Psychiatrist, Dr Hanna Putkonen, in 2012, who considered it to be the elixir of life and a remedy to all the stressors of modern life. Being a psychiatrist and a conservative adherent of my faith, I initially dismissed it as yet another addition to the yoga, meditation and alternate treatments to life’s problems. However I became a staunch con- vert when I first watched Jon Kabat-Zinn speaking about the concept in a lecture and lo and behold! “So let man take a close look at the food he eats” Quran 80:24 The MindfulCornerDr Mustafa 6 TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015 EUREKA
  • 7. I felt that the mindfulness could very well be the missing link in our lives. The example that struck a chord with me, was when Zinn described how we go through every single meal each day without re- alizing what we have eaten or how exactly it tasted or tingled our olfactory sense. We don’t have a clue, as to what we experience most of the time chiefly on account of our mind wandering in the past or future. Today mindfulness is a mantra I faithfully prescribe to all my patients and it has added to my treatment arsenal for depression, anxiety disorders and a number of other conditions that plague us. It has provided me with a fresh perspective and view and has brought back the colours to a once dull and mindless pace of life. Buddhism may have introduced the concept but I firmly believe that Islam perfected it when it prescribed a specific way of prayer involving intense focus and mindfulness five times a day. The techniques used for mindfulness are simple and practical and I hope to elaborate upon them in ‘the mindful corner’ in future. TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015 7
  • 8. T he exodus of manpower from developing countries to the developed countries, for better opportunity or better future, is a global phenomenon. But the most common – and detrimental of course – is the migration of our well-versed educated lot. The recent trend of globalization has been characterized as the flow in exchange of goods, services, capital, and informative services and at high level qualified skilled labor. This transformation of skill is known as ‘brain drain’. There are two factors which enforce an individual towards brain drain: “Push Factors”,which enforce one to leave the country due to political or economic instability; and “Pull Factors”, which allure one towards progress and development. Being a developing country Pakistan is confronted with the great loss of highly skilled workers going to greener pastures. Though the gov- ernment offers high incentives in order to retain a critical number of engineers, scientists, and other professionals in their countries, yet the survey conducted by South Asia Network of Economic Research Institutes identifies that the most important cause of the mass de- parture of skillful people has been identified as a desire to be part of global knowledge. Developed countries specifically the Western Europe, the USA, and the Eastern Asia, led by Japan, established scientific networks com- prising of scientists from the developed and developing countries in order to build scientific capabilities. The foremost reasons of migration are economic ones. Econom- ic reasons are known as one of the biggest reasons for the brain drain in any developing country. This category has job approval, academically progressive environment, improved pay and service circumstances. A recent study by the World Bank identifies that the The Brain Drain In Pakistan 8 TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015 EUREKA Taimoor Mughal
  • 9. shortage of skilled workers in a country is the main cause of its poor industrial growth and development. Secondly, all the skilled and intelligent students are not able to befittingly get the superior opportunities to progress well, and this is the main reason that the country faces the brain drain situation. No doubt the skilled brains are one of the important factors towards the uplift and development of a country or nation, but this drainage hinders the nations to a greater extent. The very drainage of talented individuals, not only hampers the development process, but it also decreases the per capita income as well. Thirdly, another major reason of the brain drain is the political in- stability prevalent in the country or in the mindsets of the causes a nation to lose its genesis. Such instability has brought the biggest rise in the brain drain in Pakistan. The governments need to join hands together, sit together and ponder over to formulate a well thought out strategy in order to stop the brain drain. There needs to be more like diplomatic solutions with the help of which they can bring full stop to all the conflicts and brain drain problems. Experts say a number of people leave the country in a desper- ate situation, thus leaving the country itself unstable, econom- ically chaotic and in desperation. They swamp foreign countries’ embassies with visa applications, and according to a survey, the biggest number of applications are for the British visas where doctors, lawyers, IT profession- als, etc are leading the exodus, whereas the laborers and farm- hands are joining the queues of malnourished people who gather daily outside the US Embassy in Islamabad. “In Pakistan, the value placed for a scientist with an advanced level degree is Grade 17 with a salary that is totally insufficient to meet the basic requirements of a family,”said a dismayed PhD in Molecular Biology. It is possible to provide the emigrated elite of a developing country with sufficient incen- tives to re-migrate even if they have already been living abroad for a long time and have not yet built up any productive contact to their country of origin. Highly skilled value-added textile work- ers have been thrown out of job due to power shortages. Some of them are running three-wheel rickshaws. Highly skilled carpet artisans are working in unskilled labor markets as they cannot find work in carpet knitting. Adding to this, even qualified doctors are joining civil service, leaving their profession for good because the chances of promo- tion in civil service cadre are brighter. The Agha Khan Medical Univer- sity conducted a study about the brain drain (of doctors) from Pa- kistan. As per the research 95% of the students of AKU and 65% students of BU want to emigrate due to poor salary in Pakistan along with poor quality of train- ing and work environment this is now added with poor law and order situation. To conclude, the brain drain is a very complex and vast phenomenon. In this respect a brief description about the main reasons of brain-drain and possi- ble measures to tackle this issue in Pakistan’s context has been given. To stop this brain drain the government needs to react as a strong opponent. Similarly, it should act with a positive mindset, which may help not only an individual but in the development of Pakistan as well. For the very purpose the government should employ those pull factors which enable to magnetize the skilled. The pull factors of the migration are higher wages and income along with job mobility, also most of the clients consider professional career development as a pull factor to move. Moreover, most of the emigrants consider foreign degrees and modern educational system as an attractive thing to move; in short most of them consider social security is a big reason for leaving their homeland. Special schemes in various academic fields should be launched with a view to encouraging talents and career strengthening. At the government level new projects, Diasporas and networks must be encouraged to reimburse the loss of qualified workers residing abroad. Good practices in human resource planning and management is very important step for easing educated persons at their right place. It is also important for holding highly skilled manpower to provide them technical and financial assistance. Steps must be taken in the best interest of Pakistan; otherwise we will lose more and more competent people. I repeat, it is important. TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015 9

YOUTH PRIDE OF Nimra Yousaf is the eldest child of Briga- dier Muhammad Yousaf Awan. Owing to father’s service she studied at numerous schools with changing faculties and classes. Brig Yousaf was selected as Strategic planner at US CENT- COM at Tampa, Florida in 2011, while she was studying in Army Public School Kohat. The remarkable modest young student has a special thirst for knowledge. Since her childhood she has always been a shining, intelligent and hardworking student yet changing over to an all together differ- ent schooling model and environment in a differ- ent country was an uphill task she managed it very courageously and had always kept the flag of the country high. She is an extremely patriotic girl who wishes to achieve greatness and project her home- land, Pakistan. Throughout her school life, she has been actively participating in both curricular and extracurricular activities. With her hard work she has brought laurels to her institutions and parents. After being shifted from APS kohat to Monroe Middle School, Tampa, Florida, she adjusted herself in record time and was recognized as the brightest student. She was honored for the highest Grade Point Aver- age in the state of Florida which was (4.43). Few glimpses of her other achievements are listed below 11TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015 FACE TO FACE
  • 12. Y es that is right! 80% of the teach- ers working in the private sector of Pakistan are female. Moving away from gender bias, what else do they have in common? After reading a few articles, I have realized that approx- imately 80% of the teachers working in private sector are unmarried and living with their parents or brothers. Their families have no respect for their profession. But here, we cannot blame the families. As a nation, Pakistani people don’t understand the key role that teachers play in nation building. This is because, while other nations are planning for their future, we are so busy in surviving today; tomorrow’s planning is nowhere close to our list of priorities. We can value a teacher only if we can value tomorrow. Teachers must be given due respect, so that she can feel special and have a posi- tive impact in the class room. I am not much related or have a direct interface with the classrooms, but as far as historic research is concerned, the challenge of classroom manage- ment or discipline tops the list of school’s manage- ment priorities. 40 to 75% of the classroom time gets wasted on managing the learners, which is the major chunk of teaching and learning time. Some- times external trainers are called for help, who overload the teachers with the management tech- niques instead of addressing the reasons for having low self-esteem. Let’s address this issue now! Our society value females ONLY when they are married and there is a stigma attached to crossing 25 and not getting married. No matter what her capabilities are, her family members (including her mother) and friends make her feel terrible. So here is the scenario. The teacher is single; her family is busy finding a suitable mate for her. At least once a fortnight she hears the news that she has been rejected. Then she comes to school, where she is congested with the management techniques and directives. And now you have 24 to 30 children acquiring lower self-esteem from their teacher on permanent basis and then they spew that out in the form of disciplinary problems. I think these challenges need attention and we must start thinking about resolving these challenges with suitable strategies for better tomorrow. Sadaf Taimur TheFortune | Sep-Oct 201512 EDUCAT UM

They do not have time for self-development and hard work. Due to this, I predict that visionary leadership will get extinct. We need glory without hard work. And in a long run this will become a concrete block in the path of our success. 13TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015

  • 16. MEMOIR FOR THE SOUL Roha Gul I had not seen the world yet. Only on celluloid and paper. All I had was a very limited experience. Limited to my imagination, to the heart and soul. It was a want, or maybe a need for me to get out, to be free. When you want it, you need it, and God! Did I need it…Which destination I will first visit? What places and streets I’ll walk through? It was all very exciting, deciding where to go, what places to visit? And it wasn’t too long when the big day finally arrived. I got on board with the fears of planes in my heart, heading towards my first destination. My very first destination was Germany, and I started putting my feelings in order. Was I hap- py? Yes. Was I scared? YES! It was a whole new continent, a whole new way of living, a whole new location and a whole new experience. I’m only kidding, you should hope. A little background on Germany: Germany is a federal parliamentary republic, located in western – central Europe with a population of 82 million. Germany is a home to cars, beer, bread and philosophers like Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhauer. Germans were very welcoming and there’s no doubt that they made us feel like home .I stayed in Berlin, the capital of Germany. It was stunning .So beautiful and clean as if untouched by the man’s destroying desire for wealth and power. It was modern, sleek and inspiring. Every- where I went, I could see public displays of art, affection, anger and hurt. As if no one existed except them. And I guess that was a good way to live. To not care about what people had to say, to be free of the restraints imposed by the society. Needless to say, it was a much needed breeze of fresh air. In Germany I saw walls splashed with graffiti all over, musicians playing the tunes along the roadside, a public microphone placed by the train station where anyone could sing if they’d like and believe me those places were never short of an audience. I together with a group of people lived in a hostel. Every evening, for dinner, we went to this Indian restaurant on foot. We would pass this bridge and from there we witnessed the most beautiful sunset and I swear it was the brightest shade of orange, the sun ever wore. That was the first sunset of my stay in Germany. The next morning we took the route to our assigned destination and believe me the way to the destination was in itself much more fascinating. Enroute to the destination we saw people of every race, color, creed coming together for a drink, making music, eating, laughing and dancing. TheFortune | Sep-Oct 201516 T RAVEL FACTS
  • 17. Our mornings were occupied with the distress of getting off on the right station so that we wouldn’t get lost in a city where it was so easy to lose one’s way. I had a total of three weeks, to store all the precious moments I could have, in stock. As we all know, or have heard, one of the most famous landmarks for Germany is the stalwart Berlin Wall. Berlin Wall is a barrier that separated East Berlin from West Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Since day one all we ever wanted was to witness this great Wall with our bare eyes. We grew tired of waiting, days kept on passing by. We asked and our questions went unanswered. Everyday we used to pass by a wall full of graffiti and indescribable paintings, oblivious to the fact that it was actually the great Berlin Wall, in all its glo- ry, tattooed with paintings, art, writing and notes. There were love notes, slogans, lyrics, anything and everything one could ever imagine was right there on the wall. It felt as if the wall had been erected from the hearts and souls of the locals. Never had I seen something so mesmerizing. It went on for miles and miles. There was this one saying by Varda Carmeli that was painted on in bold letters, which went some- thing like… “Lead me on my dreams among differ- ent time and space. To share hope with nations and believers. To observe with modesty the pure truth. And to reveal prudently the magic and the mystery.” I wrote my name on the wall too. I wanted it to be known by all, that I had been there. I guess the attempt was futile since all I had was a ballpoint and I barely scraped the surface. If you ever go there, and see the tiny scribbles next to the painted flames. Guess what? That’s me. I used to go on walks at night with my friends, just 17TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015

There was a calmness in the air.Streetlights were lit and we were together. That is what mattered. We roamed the areas many times, laughing, observing, taking pictures and most importantly learning. We also went to universities, visited malls, cinemas, castles, theme parks; every place welcomed us with good weather and great people. Those were the days when the world cup for soccer was going on too. Germany was in the finals with Argentina. We had watched every match before that one and were more than determined to watch the grand finale so we chose our little restaurant as the venue and gathered over there cloaked in German flag , painted in three colors; red, black and gold. The city was buzzing and going crazy. Germany won that match! We walked out of the building screaming on top of our lungs. It was like someone had mixed something in the air, we were overwhelmed with excitement and euphoria. Everywhere we looked, there were hundreds of people celebrating out on the streets. They laughed, clapped, chanted and screamed. I had never felt more alive and at ease. And finally the last day of the stay came, it was a dilemmatic one. I returned home with a heavy heart but with a bag full of beautiful stories to share. It was a journey in to the world where I found my true self. In the end I have a very important message for my readers. Travel! Go out and explore the world. I urge you to broaden your horizons. There is so much to learn from the world. So much to see. Make that decision, go there. You will never re- gret something that taught you what you didn’t know before. You have one life to live, do the justice, make it worth living. 18 TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015

  • 20. Binqulander, a versatile Calligraph-artist, was born in Lahore. He obtained a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Miniature Painting and did his final thesis in digital lenticular from the National College of Arts, Lahore (2009). Prior to a Diploma in Calligraphy (2010), he worked as a graphic designer for ten years. In his Cal- ligraph-art he uses strong colours and emphasize on design, which combines geometry with bold swirls of shapes. With a miniaturist’s attention to detail, he builds his work in layers using acrylic, silver leaf and mix medium. The final effect is that the creatively in- terpreted Arabic or Urdu scripts acquire rich abstract forms. In doing so, Binqulander transported minia- ture painting into the realm of contemporary art. He challenges medium-based restrictions by exper- imenting with scale and media. Such media include animation, video, performance, mural, and collab- oration with other artists. Binqulander, working on his first animation, a natural extension of his interest in layering. He was working on a miniature painting and decided to scan in Photoshop each change he is trying to document the metamorphosis of the work. Binqulander has had five solo shows, including those in Lahore, Karachi, UAE and participated in several group exhibitions in Pakistan, UAE, USA, Oman and in Malaysia. Binqulander conducted six workshops including those in Pakistan, UAE and Oman. 20 TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015 HEART TO ART

E ntrepreneurship is a key element towards the erad- ication of unemployment and supporting the social, political and economic con- ditions of any state, as it gives and creates opportunity for employment. With that entrepreneurial education benefits the entrepreneurship as observed by Charney, in his book “Impact of Entrepreneurship Education Insights”. Due to this, it has been the mode of discussion through decades by scholars and economical think tanks throughout the world. Self Confidence The Driving Force towards Entrepreneurial Intent Entrepreneurship is the creativity of busi- ness ideas which materializes into big ven- tures and those ventures help support the nation. For this, the entrepreneurial intent is the force that makes the entrepreneurs motivated, practically. Entrepreneurs lead themselves through big time lapses and troubles; only one thing keeps them going and fighting to all odds and that is how well they are trained. In this article which is an abstract of a re- search paper published in an international journal, the focus is on the factors which affect the entrepreneurial intent of the students. Business stu- dents are the key in entrepreneurial field and if they are trained well on the grounds from their university level, they are much mature to hold the market after few years. Affecting factors are extracted as perceived structural support i.e. governmental support programmes. Perceived relational support includes relatives, family and friends; Per- ceived educational support includes the educational structural support in our institutes especially universities. The attitude towards entrepreneur- ship is self motivation level towards business and self confidence as driving force affecting over the en- trepreneurial intent of students. Self confidence came out as the power to be reckoned with in extracting and pushing the entrepreneurs to achieve their goals. These factors were one by one measured and proved by getting the results analyzed through 400 samples of the questionnaires distributed, 100 each, in four different universities in Pakistan, including two private and two public universities. The related results were then compared together TheFortune | Sep-Oct 201524 ST RUGLER Bilal Bangash

In Pakistan where we lack entrepreneurial support systems, only one thing which is even then making entrepreneurs striving ahead to be entrepreneur is the self confidence. Self confidence is the only defining factor which drives the entrepreneurs to achieve their objectives besides all odds. It is to be noted that this research does not stick to only the market within Pakistan but in fact the references are taken in a way in which Pakistan is compared to the international standards and countries that have taken measures in terms of enhancing their educational support, structural support, relational support towards making the young students more motivated in the field of business. More importantly this includes countries like Turkey, China, Malaysia, the USA, Europe, Peru and India. This research finds problem, gives comparative analysis, and more importantly, gives solution of how to deal with this problem and what measures should be taken in Pakistan. The best solution recommended is that all business students should be trained and motivated with attitude of being entre- preneurs rather than being on a job. And suggested to all edu- cation policymakers and universities to sit together and make ruling of not allotting degrees to business students unless they don’t end up establishing small or big but their own business ventures. Through this more business educated brains will get into the market and within 10 years this policy will dynamically and revolutionarily change Pakistan’s local market to international standards and will extend support to greater extent to the employment problem of the state.

  • 26. A s technology improves every day, new developments are constantly infiltrating our lives. Whether it’s the way you shop, how you com- municate with friends, the job you do, or the way you travel, technology is transform- ing the way we behave. 1.The Internet has become a main source of medical information. It goes without saying that more and more people are using the Internet to research their medical issues. This means not only looking up symptoms, but exploring treatments and medicines on the web. While it is never a good idea to skip out on the doctor completely, the Inter- net has made patients more empowered to make decisions about what to do next. 2.Healthcare facilities are reaching patients us- ing social media. It is easy to see how public clinics, doctor offices, and even research facilities can take advantage of social media tools to reach wider populations. And there is evidence that they are going above and beyond. Healthcare facilities, par- ticularly hospitals, are using social media to estab- lish contact with patients, answer questions about practices, launch public awareness campaigns, and perform community outreach. Some sophisticated sites even offer instant chats with nurses and doc- tors about medical issues and reminders for people to get regularly needed tests and vaccines. 3.Better treatment and less suffering. Let’s not forget the most obvious way technology has changed healthcare by providing new machines, medicines, and treatments that save lives and im- prove the chance of recovery for billions. Not only do sophisticated medical practices help patients heal directly new technology has also improved research so experts can make healthcare even more effective. 4.Improved patient care and worker efficiency. Information technology has made patient care safer and more reliable than before. Nurses and doctors use hand-held computers to record a patient’s medical history and check that they are administering the correct treatment. Results of lab tests, records of vital signs, and medicine orders are all electronically put into a main database that can be referred to later. And as more institutions are adopting electronic health records, patients have easier access to their own information so they too can understand what is being done to them. These electronic databases are also consolidating large amounts of information that are used for medical research. With vast patient history, scientists can better study trends and causes of ailments. This means more breakthroughs to come.

Technology has also enabled doctors to use e-mail, texts, videos, and conference facilities to consult colleagues from all over the world. This practice, known as telemedicine, is especially use- ful for doctors and patients in rural and under-de- veloped areas. Without moving patients, doctors can consult experts from all over the world to diag- nose, treat, and research conditions without need- ing access to a sophisticated hospital. Telemedicine was used effectively after the 2010 Haiti earthquake and will no doubt be refined for future use. 6.Online databases can accurately predict medi- cal trends. Of course, not every person who search- es for “flu” is actually sick, but a pattern emerges when all the flu-related search queries are added together. We compared our query counts with traditional flu surveillance systems and found that many search queries tend to be popular exactly when flu season is happening. “By counting how often we see these search que- ries, we can estimate how much flu is circulating in different countries and regions around the world.” This breakthrough will help medical experts re- spond to outbreaks quickly as well as take preven- tative measures as more and more people use the web to search for their own medical problems. 27TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015

Positive and Negative Effects of Facebook on Our Society A lthough Facebook was created with the concept of allowing students and young adults to share their common interests, but with the time passing, it has lost its true essence. Started often as a time pass, it be- comes an addiction which is annoying at times. As a matter of fact, Facebook is a very useful medium if used within certain limits. Let’s have a look over some of its positive and negative effects on society: Positive Effects on Society • It is very beneficial for the ones who are far away from their loved ones and want to keep in touch, especially, it is found to be a great source of association for the armed forces personnel when they are far from their homes. • Families settled abroad want to have strong communication link with their homeland and its inhabitants. • It is very helpful for people who feel shyness in social inter- action. It is a useful source to make friends and share your thoughts easily. • Persons who are restricted to their homes due to any sort of disability or environmental factors find a way to deal with their isola- tion. • You are able to get connected with old friends and refresh your bond. • It also helps people to find online friends with common inter- ests living in different locations and then make this virtual friendship a real world friendship. • When you are caught up in a tiring task and want a quick refreshing break, Facebook proves to be highly favorable.

  • 29. Negative Effects on Society • The biggest drawback of Facebook is that it has a very narrow border line between favorite pass time and addic- tion. One starts using it initially to catch friends and ultimate- ly ends up with a lot of lavish time in taking playful quizzes and exploring various Facebook applications. • It is quite distracting if not used within limits, for instance, a student may adopt the habit of updating his online status twice an hour. This is the reason that you will find many adults stick to their mobile phones and laptops to check social networking websites frequently. • People busy in their lives feel easy to communicate through Facebook but at times it becomes very annoying when virtual communication takes place of real life meetings. • Being a part of your family members’ life is good, but knowing about each and every moment of others personal lives can prove to be very dangerous at times. Involving others even in your small decisions or forcing your ideas in others decisions is hazardous for personal liberty. • Facebook has given rise to gossiping as well, as people have found an easy way to get updates about others personal lives. Finding the Right Balance It is difficult, yet very important to find a right balance between entertainment and burden. Use Facebook positively to share your thoughts and keeping yourself aware of the surroundings, but don’t cross the safe distance. Try to catch friends weekly or monthly rather than updating them moment to moment. 29TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015

I got an iPhone and then I found you could draw on it. I’d draw flowers and things, I made about 200 drawings. Then I read about the iPad, so I thought, well the moment the iPad’s out I’ll get that, because drawing on a bigger thing would be better. – David Hockney. creatives are benefiting and empowering technolo- gy to fuel creativity. Some respond with a positive outlook and grasp this technology with both hands such as Hockney. Others like Francis Ford Coppola comment on the obvious we take for granted such as moving image and Marc Quinn finds most inter- esting the fine line between our physical world and our virtual world. However not all are majorly positive on technology due to the fact we rely on it so much and the addic- tion we have with it. Susan Sarandon comments on our dysfunctional relationship with the world due to technology and MIA responds with respect to those who have grown up without it. Co-director Tomas Auksas com- ments that “It is an exciting time to be an artist” which I believe is true for those adapting to it. Channelling creative vision is complex and the relationship not only the creative industry has with technology but also other indus- tries can be a tricky. The film itself does not give a final conclusion however it does provide an insight of opinions and discussion. 31TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015

  • 37. C ristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiroor, mostly known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is one of the greatest players in the history of football. Belonging to a humble background, he is the youngest son of Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and José Dinis Aveiro. He has one brother and two sisters. His father was a farmer, after he died Ronaldo’s mother became a cook. Ronaldo is named after a Holly- wood star and President Ronald Reagan. Fortune favors the brave; Ronaldo got selected for Clube Desportivo Nacional of Madeira. After winning the heart of his team and Europe, he joined the Manchester United, an English Premier League Club in 2003. A goal machine for Manchester United, who put them on the top, liter- ally moves like a ghost on field. No one could even see the ball while he dribbles, the ruling king of the football. No one would even dare to snatch the ball from him. But then a grim day came for Red devils, when he was sold to a Spanish league’s Giant club named Real Madrid. His selling price was whooping $131 million. He became even better in Real Madrid and became the ultimate goal machine. He was on the top until a new player named Lionel Messi rooted from Argentina and played in Barca Club arrived and became the top player. From then onwards famous feud between Ronaldo and Messi came forth, but Ronaldo is still going strong, also having more social media followers than Messi. Ronaldo is more reputable than even from Eden and more expensive than emerald from oceans. In the latest estimates CR7 would cost another club more than 141 million Euros. Ronaldo is a kind hearted man. Even if Messi is his biggest rival, Ronaldo thinks of him as a friend and every documentary and blog we see about their rivalry, one has always read that Ronaldo and Messi are actually folks. His humanitarian work is proudly to be mentioned here as Ronaldo donates half of his salary to the poor and needy people. He loves his fans. In professional eyes, Ronaldo is still the best player of the world because he has true sportsman spirit. Last but not the least, no money can separate CR7from the love of football. 37TheFortune | Sep-Oct 2015

They will puff up in the skillet, so only add a few at a time. As they begin to puff up, remove and drain them on paper towels. Be sure to cook long enough as the under cooked noodles will be like eating needles. Once cooked, add them to the salad mixture. • In a large bowl combine the iceberg lettuce, cooked and shredded chicken, green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Let chill about 10 minutes, and just before serving add the cooked rice noodles. • Serve in salad bowls and offer the dressing in a pourable container so your family can add as much dress- ing as they want. You can also pour the dressing over the top of the salad, toss, and serve immediately.
