The great disconnect
Saturday, July 19, 2014

The ground realities of the last 14 months absolutely negate joy over the news about the improvement in ranking of Pakistan by Moody’s.
The proof of the pudding, however, lies in its eating.
What has been the difference in the loadshedding situation between the PPP and the PML-N governments?
The answer is that we are getting the same amount of electricity, but at 100 percent increased rates.
Further, the finance minister has committed with the IMF to again increase the power rates by almost another 100 percent.
The government must see the mood of the general public and its perception about the current rulers.
The ruling elite is totally disconnected from the problems of the voters and the general public. This disconnect is proved by the daily mantra of the PMLN’s leadership, telling the public to be patient and give them a chance to rule for another four years.
The biggest problem with the disconnect is that it is never ever visible to the rulers; and they are always surprised that if people are not getting bread, why can’t they eat cake?
The people will be happily ready to give them not only the next four years, but the next 40 as well, but what tangible sacrifices have the leaders made for the public?
Genuine leaders rule by example, not by hollow slogans.
The PML-N sadly looks to be a party of the super rich royalty, totally devoid and detached from the issues faced by the general public.

Why we bother the honourable US citizens with few minutes arrest if we can’t even hold them for few hours?
Why we insult ourselves again and again?
I know for sure even if these US citizens are caught carrying LOADED machine guns to the plane no body dare touch them in Pakistan?

Dhaka Debacle..!
A Passionate Appeal to the PM Pakistan.
Dear Mr. Prime minister & The Patron in Chief PCB
AoA.
Sir,
There is no shame in losing a match but abject surrender is absolutely unacceptable.
Someone, somewhere, has to be held accountable for the disgraceful manner, in which Pakistan’s cricket team was thrashed by the West Indies team, in the super ten round’s last match of the T20 World Cup 2014.
Here, we should also not forget that in the past, our team never performed so badly; and that for the first time in the history of the T20 World Cup, we could not even enter the semi finals, of the T20 World Cup.
Now, the buck sits at the head of your favourite Najam Sethi, who must be sacked IMMEDIATELY for not just the defeat, but also for turning the Pakistani cricket team to a club level team, so that the nation knows, without any doubt that our Prime Minister is a man of pure merit, not SIFARISH.
Sir, now your own image is at stake and Najam Sethi, who is a nincompoop and knows nothing about cricket, must not be allowed to hide behind you.
Best regards,
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
Lahore.

Identify Tasks To Delegate
If you are struggling to find time for your most important tasks, think about what you could assign to others on your team. There are certain projects or functions that you should be delegating, such as:
Jobs that others could easily do. Even if you enjoy some of these tasks and are reluctant to give them up, you’ll be better off delegating them. Maybe this means assigning one small task of an important project — like logging bugs and fixes — to a new employee who’s eager to advance. Handing this off frees up your time, motivates him, and lets you know whether he can follow through on assignments.
Jobs that require specific training or experience. Delegating assignments can give staff members interesting and challenging opportunities. For example, if you train a reliable team member to take over your role in an interdepartmental task force, the employee gets a chance to exercise her collaborative and technical skills while also gaining visibility.
