Loud Thinking

Respected Ahsan Iqbal Sahab,

AoA.

Sir,

The ground reality of the last one year negates your statement and it is very difficult to believe your words, to wait another 4 years, for the turnaround of the country under PMLN’s rule.

The proof of the pudding lies in its eating.

What is the difference of the power load shedding situation between the PPP and the PMLN government?

We are getting same amount of electricity but at the 100% increased rates.

Moreover, the new addition which was not in the PPP rule is that throughout the country, the power is supplied at, as low as 170 Volts, under PMLN era.

Further, the FM has committed with the IMF to again increase the power rates to almost 100%.

This is because the government after lacking the will and utterly failing in recovery of outstanding bills, has decided to go the easy way, of putting further burden on those honest people, who pay each and every penny of the utility (inflated) bills.

Now, this wrong policy has created so much public anger against your government that if there was an overnight change, rest assured, the whole nation will distribute the sweets again.

So, please don’t live in the cloud nine and come to the ground for God’s sake; and see the mood of the general public and its perception about your government, which is defamed for extravagant expenditures of Crores of Rupees on BMW’s, foreign tours, dogs, almost free five star meals to the parliamentarians in the NA cafeteria, dishing out very expensive employments to the favourite people in the government organisations, etc. etc.

It is hoped that you will not take the above bitter realities explained by me as an offence, but as they say, it will be considered an honest and free customer feed back, worth weighing in gold.

As they say in marketing jargon, the customer is always right.

With best wishes,

Yours truly,

Nayyar

So called Indian Banana official rate is Rs.155/Dozen but in the market in Lahore it is selling above Rs.250/Dozen.
Where is the law or everyone is above the law..?
Provincial government has totally surrendered before the profiteers.
Where is the government which has totally surrendered before the challenges of providing electricity, gas, POL, eatables, etc etc..!

Help Employees Find Their Flow

Flow enhances performance by improving concentration and motivation. Yet it’s nearly impossible for people to reach a state of flow when they’re being interrupted throughout the day. Help your employees reach flow by taking small steps to remove any obstacles to productivity. To reduce interruptions, let people switch off email and hold fewer meetings. Have employees focus on smaller chunks of work, and create shorter and more visible challenge-and-reward cycles. As a manager, you can have an outsize impact on your employees’ concentration and engagement; these strategies aren’t nearly as effective if only one person is trying to change how he or she works.

Modi government committed to lower taxes, finance minister Arun Jaitley says

Surojit Gupta & Sidhartha,TNN | Jul 15, 2014, 01.40 AM IST

BUT PMLN’s GOVERNMENT IS NOT ONLY COMMITTED TO INCREASE TAXES AND RATES OF UTILITY BILLS WHICH IT HAS ALREADY VERY HAPPILY DOUBLED IN JUST FEW MONTHS OF ITS RULE AND NOW HAS COMMITTED WITH THE IMF TO FURTHER DOUBLE THE RATES..!

However, BMW’s and dogs worth crores of Rupees will BE purchased from the tax payers money as usual, for their own comfort and security of the rulers..!

LET THE GENERAL PUBLIC GO TO HELL..!

So by this US analogy the Pakistani government and its forces also have the right to severely hit back at the Afghanistan for the recent killings of its officers and men of Pak Army by an attack from Afghanistan.

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander..!

“The White House stopped short of criticising Israel over the civilian casualty toll from its devastating air and artillery bombardment of the densely populated Palestinian enclave that has drawn flak from the United Nations and human rights watchdogs.
It said the Israeli government had the “right” and “responsibility” to defend its citizens against rocket attacks by Hamas from its Gaza stronghold.”
