PTI’s mother of all demands..!

“You are perfect exactly as you are. With all your flaws and problems, there’s no need to change anything. All you need to change is the thought that you aren’t good enough.”

PM’s Speech..!

Too little too late…!

Imran has already said no witness will come forward against the government if any inquiry is held during the tenure of PMLN government.

For any commission to be really effective within a time bound period PTI may demand a care taker set up.

We should not forget that even no witness came forward against Gullu Butt.

Three Rules for More Productive Meetings

We’re spending too much precious work time attending unproductive meetings. For most executives, meetings take up at least 20 hours every week; one meeting spawns another, and on it goes. Here are three ways to prevent meeting bloat:
Keep the invitee list to seven. The Rule of 7 states that every attendee over seven reduces the likelihood of making a good, quick, executable decision by 10%. So once you hit 16 to 17, your decision effectiveness is basically zero.
Make most meetings under an hour. Most of us schedule 60-minute meetings by default. Every additional minute generates more cost, so try blocking off shorter amounts of time that can be spent more productively. Can you get through your agenda in 30 or 45 minutes instead?
Use longer meetings sparingly. Create (and enforce) a new rule: any meetings scheduled to be 90 minutes or longer need senior approval.

Who says justice is not available in Pakistan..?

A political system which practically containerise the citizens, kills the ailing humanity in the ambulances, which can’t fly over the containers to reach the hospitals, where hospitals are alarmingly low on oxygen supplies, due to closure of roads with containers, where kids, ladies and men of all ages desperately crawl under the containers, as if they are prisoners of wars, can be called anything but a DEMOCRACY..!
