Loud Thinking

Your job isn’t to judge. Your job isn’t to figure out if someone deserves something or decide who is right or wrong. Your job is to lift the fallen, restore the broken, and heal the hurting.

Dear Mr. Ishaq Dar Sahab,

AoA.

Sir,

Hope you remember that I submitted few proposals titled “How to control prices in the holy month of Ramzan” before the advent of Ramzan on 25 June, 2014.

One of these suggestions was to jail the over charging shopkeepers and hoarders for 30 days without bail.

Kindly peruse the link for the detailed reading of my suggestions at :-https://www.snayyar.com/loud-thinking-june-25-2014-at-1202pm.html#sthash.7rMPymj3.dpbs

However, just for your information, today the TOI has reported that Indian government has decided to make the hoarding, a non-bailable offence.

In this regard, the detailed news may be perused as below.

How to Hire More Top Performers

It goes without saying that a company with more top performers has an edge over its rivals. To increase your proportion of top talent:
Control your pipeline. Do your own recruiting, and stop relying on headhunters.
Have your A players conduct the interviews. B and C players can’t always identify the highest potential people (and if they do, they can feel threatened). Average performers tend to look for congeniality and the ability of a candidate to fit in; they don’t always look for someone who seems likely to raise the bar.
Involve as many line managers in the interviews as possible. This is especially true when hiring for highly technical jobs: HR might not be able to judge whether people have the very specific skills required.

August 14 deadline: Imran lays out conditions for calling off long march

By Our CorrespondentPublished: July 4, 2014

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan on Thursday said that he was willing to call off the August 14 long march on Islamabad if the Supreme Court opens a probe into election rigging in four constituencies.
“If a three-member judicial commission under the Chief Justice Nasirul Mulk investigates the electoral fraud and places the result before the nation in two weeks, we will call off the long march,” the PTI chief said.
He was speaking at the Kal Tak programme of the Express News hosted by Javed Chaudhry.
“No, we cannot give the government any more time,” he said pointing out that PTI has been fighting in tribunals for the past 14 months and giving more time will mean that one should get ready for the next elections.
Imran reiterated that the August 14 long march will be a giant leap towards real democracy that will herald a new Pakistan.
He said that the people were just as charged as they were in May 2013. “I felt the pulse of the crowd in Bahawalpur, we are starting from where we left out in 2013.”
He did not rule out demand for a mid-term election.
To a question about the status of Nawaz Sharif and his government post-August 14, Imran said, “I am not going to show all of my cards right now.”
On politics of confrontation, the former cricketer said that PTI went to election tribunals but no avail, “we wasted 14 months.”
The system has to be changed, he said.
He asserted that if the judicial commission finds allegations of rigging untrue and declares no electoral fraud has taken place, “I will go and congratulate Mian Nawaz Sharif on his victory.”
However, Imran said he believes that on May 11, 2013, the nation saw biggest electoral fraud in the history of Pakistan. Unless there is accountability, the practice of poll rigging will continue. “A few people have formed dynasties in Pakistan, their children are being groomed to rule us, this is not democracy, it is monarchy,” he said. Corruption cannot be eliminated without accountability, he asserted.
Regarding the operation in North Waziristan Imran said that he believed in democracy and would never have supported an armed offensive. “As a student of history and international relations, I assure that every conflict ends in dialogue,” he said. The Moro conflict of Muslims in the Philippines, he said, continued for over 40 years, only to end in talks that started a few months ago.
On the perception that PTI is resorting to confrontation because it cannot control the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government, Imran said this was incorrect. He dilated upon the police reforms, improvements in education and health sectors the K-P government has achieved.
“There is no likelihood of K-P government being dissolved,” Imran said replying to a question by the host. The fact is, Imran said, the PTI unlike the N league, has not pumped Rs60 million of taxpayer money in self-aggrandising media campaigns.

Look Mr. Najam Sethi, what the BCCI Secretary Sanjay Patel has said about your so called “MOU turned into binding agreement straightaway”.

Wisden India quoted Secretary Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Sanjay Patel, as saying on Wednesday “the deals with Pakistan were not set in stone”.

Perhaps the genius PCB boss may be knowing that:

“You can fool some of the people for some of the time. You can also fool some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people, all the time”.
