The Story of the Iff Girl

Well, she already has spoilt her surprise but like still here we go ...
I had wished that I would write all this in the 'How I Met' series but I guess that never happened. Anyways, I never knew who this Iff Girl was, where she lived, what she does because I had never met her. As a matter of fact I havent met her yet but in the tenure of almost more than 13 months I have learnt alot about her.

So, how I came to know about her? Obviously, through Revolution Flame! She was a friend's friend who just joined and she worked pro actively in the Street Children Campaign. There were other people too but I just had this memory preserved, mostly I put it up as my wallpaper of my laptop!

This poster was created in December something I guess and at that moment there were hell lot of things going around. Musarrat Amin was also with us and these girls generated awesome activities. I guess I missed Zahra Batool and Yeah Qurat Apii too.

There was a thing called 'Ambassador Of Month' and the ambassadors who volunteered pro actively were awarded with that title and in February 2013 we announced the combined results and there she won the award of 'Ambassador of Month of December 2012' and Mahoor was of January 2014!

The funny part was that I accidently sent the email of Mahoor to Iffrah and hers to Mahoor! I don't know I was sleeping or what :D Seriously, it was a mistake :P A blunder I would say !

Any ways then street children was just about to conclude and I asked her to write a summary of what we did in the Street Children Campaign, she literally had to search the whole archive and compile it but she did and I promised her that I will try to get that published in the Us Magazine. She completed it in time but unfortunately, I was informed that it is against the policy of that magazine to publish anything so biased. Like come on (-_-) We did some good and sharing a report about that is considered biased ... We made sure that everyone who contributed in the campaign is mentioned and I guess that was just the issue. I was really like </3 

Because I promised her and I failed to deliver! *I hope she forgave me for that, You did right?*

Here is just another memory that I extracted ... The epic part -> '#Revolutionary Party'

And then If I remember it right then this Iff girl had some questions regarding *some-one-who-must-not-be-named* :D No more details :P The Iff Girl knows and I know she is smiling right now :D 

Okay and now she had papers or what, she disappeared from the scene ... then we had Earth Day Campaign and Women's Day Campaign and she had papers and studies then afterwards when we launched Infinitron in August 2013 then I guess she came back ... Or may be a little before that, we were having some group Skype meetings I think it was regarding the Creative Minds or something ... Then we also started the Save Energy Campaign and again &*@# happened :D 

I asked her to write something on Save Energy Campaign and she did without doing any Choon Chaan :D that most girls do :D (This is what I really like about her that she doesn't argues (^_^) She listens and provide constructive feedback) and again when I forwarded that to the editorial board then it got rejected :( as it some how God-Knows-Why didn't fall on the guidelines and i was like -> :@ :@ :@

I didn't know what to say to her I said to her that Don't worry I will get it published in the E-book but like ... umm ... :| I did broke the news and then I didn't know what should I say more, I talk alot but at that moment I was speechless and ashamed but again she said that Oh No Problem!  

Another trait which she has inherited from her friend is LayXeeNess :D She wasn't lazy but somehow she did became one and there is some really funny convo where she says 'Sir! Wait ... before you ask me how I am doing or you have a job for me ...' :D I guess that's enough! The Iff Girls knows the rest :3 

Another trait of her is that She is Tall, random and outspoken :D and her DP's scare me sometime :3 Why? :P I don't quite really know ! She is a pretty lass but once there was this DP ... I think I should put it here :D but that was scary :3 

Another memory was when she inboxed 'Are you Mad at me? *peeks  behind the sofa*' :D In fact I was really angry and frustrated because of the things that were going along in my life but like this #Innocence :D Just put a smile on my face and I forgot everything :D I don't know how she does that :P Sometimes she be so scary and sometimes so talkative and sometimes so innocent :P 

I also thought that she is scary because she once said that Evil Witch is her bestie and they both are just the same ... I told her that she is not the Witch :D She is altogether another big story I will blog about her someday when I will have some spare time!

Then one upon a time not very long ago I asked her a favour and she said that she would help me out. it was related to Punjab University but like I never thought she would do it because it is such a 'Khuwaar Kaam' which I was asking her to do but yet she did it (^_^) *ThankYou Girl*

And just another memory which I would like to share here is the blog naming. I dont know what intrigued her to make a blog but she did and she wasnt happy with the name and then we brainstormed alot of names and finally the current blog address she is using was suggested by me and whenever I see her blog posts it feels so nice and I remember all those memories (^_^) 

I don't know where I would be in this world after 5 years, where would she be but I have a strong feeling she would be married by then :D *pun-intended* but these awesome memories would remain with me ... 

Just wanna say that Happy Birthday Girl. I thought alot what gift should I give you but finally I thought you will love this flashback and memories ... :) I pray that you have loads of such happy moments in the life ahead! 

How We Classify Humans?

Exams are just knocking at the door, final year project, lab assignments, quizzes, lectures and teachers have made the life really miserable. Just few days ago I happen to see a comic on facebook that ‘You have 3 weeks to save your semester and the show begins’ :D I have just one week and I don’t know how I am going to cover all this but I have to :P

Today, I was just looking over the things and I saw that a friend of mine inboxed me a video link and my curiosity forced me to lets just have a look, we will study later :D I think all students are like that :P Umm … when I opened it then I saw a page named, We Are One! And the video started to buffer.

I remembered that page because my friend Jawad Kazmi had already launched a video on it and this was the second part. You can watch the video by clicking on the 'We Are One' banner below!

While I was watching that I kept wondering that Why don’t we all think like that? What is it that creates enmity among us? Why is it that we don’t accept people for what they are? How they are?

After all we all are humans, what is it that makes us forget and we chop each other down brutally?

I still haven’t forgotten the Rawalpindi tragedy that happened just a month ago … I still haven’t forgotten the brutal murder of Christians that happened not very far ago …

I really appreciate the efforts of the team who has compiled this video to promote peace and tolerance among people and in particular unity among Muslims. I want the world to know through this blog that Pakistani Youth is alive and is working towards a better Pakistan. Yes! gone are the times when we used to think that some 'Magical' and mystical hero will come and lead our country out of this chaos. Yes! we have realized that we hold the reigns of future in our hands and together, bit by bit, we will create a future we all dream of.

I travel a lot and mostly on public transport. During all that I happen to see people fighting over so trivial things! The more I travel the more I see and the more I see the more I wonder … Why in the name of religion we fight? Does saying that I belong to XYZ sect makes you a member of that sect?

Fine, If you belong to XYZ sect and I belong to ABC sect but we both are humans, we live, eat, drink together. We study in same institute, we meet daily and more or less we are like a virtual family but thinking that belonging to some XYZ sect is crime and if someone of their sect did something bad then it somehow becomes our religious obligation to hate our friend. Why? Because someone from his sect did this and now we don’t want to talk to our friend.

Just think for a while! 

Does that make any sense to you? 

I am not talking about the media, all they had to do is fire the emotions from both sides and create ‘Stories’. To hell with their stories and to hell with their reporting! Just talk to yourself, ask yourself this question, ‘Did you wanted to be a Muslim? Did someone forced you to be one? You could have been a Christian, a Jew or even an Atheist! And Let’s say that you happen to be a Christian and some other person whom you don’t even know but he happens to be a Christian and he lives on the other side of the world and does something stupid and your neighbor comes and kill you what he did and the reason he tells you before he takes your life is that You are a Christian! How would you feel?

Think! 

Is it justified? 

Is it right? 

Does that even makes any sense?

HELL NO!

Now this is what we have been doing and proclaiming ourselves as the righteous of the beings that ever existed on this planet Earth! We need to Change our Thinking! Our behaviors! The way we see and treat life!

The video talks about the sects of the Muslims and highlights a misconception that one sect cannot pray in the mosque of another sect. But for me, I don’t even believe in sects. 

For me either you are a Muslim or you are not a Muslim. *end of conversation*

I don’t care that even you are a Muslim, Christian or a Jew or an Atheist. I treat you as a human and I respect you because you are a human and this is what my religion teaches. Sometimes, I really curse the biologists that why they ever thought of classification? Fine you can classify plants, minerals etc.

Please Don’t Classify Humans!

Just let them be humans, no matter which color, caste or creed they belong. Let’s just call them humans! Let’s just be one! Let’s just all become the citizens of Earth and develop patience and tolerance to protect ourselves and our future.

Let’s just leave all differences behind and let bygones be gone and let’s all say that Yes I am a human and I will respect you because you are a human!

That’s what I believe in … Do you? 

A Pakistani Girl Publishes Her Debut Novel

Today was just another hectic day. I got a text that today I have only one lecture of Industrial Automation and that was at 11:30 am and keeping in view the chill weather, fog and dew which sends shivers down your spine. I decided not to go to university and practice the CX-Programmer software of Omron PLC which we are doing in the lab. There was so much to do, loads of stuff pending *sighs*

Worked whole day almost ... and right now when I logged in I just saw that I am missing a birthday of one of my friend Hafsa Idrees. DAMN ! How could I :D

Hafsa Idrees

Well, I usually write about people when I meet them and you must be thinking that why I am writing about her then? :P I haven't met her yet !

Ummmm .... Nice Question :D *i know the answer of this one* :D

You might be wondering that what's so special about this girl?

1. She is a Pakistani Student who just published a novel
2. She is SEO Manager of Revolution Flame
3. Today is her Birthday 

The beginning after the End!

She revealed her Book cover few days back and official launching of her book is on 27th December 2013. 

You can join the event at -> The Launch of Beginning After an End

This is just a paragraph from her novel ! You can follow her on Facebook at -> Hafsa Idrees - Author

For me the stupidest thing in world is to make or gather memories. I do not know how someone can cherish a happy memory believing he once had it and enjoyed in some part of his life and how someone can be happy on a sad one thinking it as at least over. I have been at a loss to understand this complicated world and it's ways to keep a pace with it. My brain was talking to me and I was trying hard to put these thoughts aside. I was driving and I had to be careful ....

When she told me about her novel, I was like -> (O_O) You know that feeling? When you are really amazed! It was something like that ... Because all I have heard about Pakistan is that It is the land of terrorists, corruption, inflation and God knows what what ! and amidst all that just a girl who is still studying in Quaid e Azam University publishes her novel. It's like a really proud moment for me!

Today, we showed the world that Pakistanis are peaceful persons who can still leave marks of glory on world. Girls have always been suppressed in a male-dominated society and witnessing a girl doing all that is something which makes you smile and your heart contented that Yes! There is a Future! Yes! Youth is alive! Yes! I am proud to be a part of Pakistan! and the world should know that there is a world beyond J.K. Rowling, Dan Brown, R.L. Stein, Paulo Coelho ... It's time they witness the budding authors of Pakistan!

Hafsa joined Revolution Flame as an ambassador and today she is SEO Manager and looks after the website. What I dislike about the Pakistani media is that they would broadcast useless news for all day long, they would feed negativity in people minds 24/7. The anchors, newscasters everyone craves for Ratings, they would go to any level to get that. But promoting positivity and the remarkable achievements of our country men is something which I rarely see.

Atleast I think that they the amount of time, money and energy they waste to get ratings should be spent on creating a soft image of Pakistan by promoting the talent that deserves something. I know how hard is it to get feedback from people about your work and for an author this is all they ever want! Just a few minutes news can help authors get the attention, recognition and praise they deserve for creating a literature that will remain in this world, even when they are gone!

I was talking to Hafsa about her novel and she told me that how hard it was to figure out how to actually get it published. There was so much stuff involved, so many procedures and a tiresome method which frustrates you way too much that every instant you just want to quit. But that's the point, you have to work for your passion, for your dream and for the life you wish to live!

A senior in my university used to say that 'Life is full of moments! Your success in life depends upon how much of them were yours!'

Working for those moments is the hardest part for an author! Currently, Hafsa is working really hard to achieve her dreams. You can get in touch with her and say hello to her and wish her good luck at -> Hafsa Idrees - Author

My novel is still in progress, You can stay up to date about it by following me on -> Syed Ommer Amer
I would be glad to hear from you!

Happy Birthday Hafsa :) Hope you had one of the most memorable birthday of your life ever! I saw your wall full of birthday wishes :D This is just one message which I want to give you on your birthday! Hope you would like it (^_^)

Salutes With Infinite Love

Salutes With Infinite Love I dedicate this post to one of my friend, Ahmed Asraf (^_^) and also to all those PMA (Pakistan Military Academy) Cadets who have dedicated their lives for the protection of their citizen, for combating the peace disrupting people and for the safeguard of our homeland.

Gatherings, Reunions, Hangouts, Meetings, Dinners, BBQs that's how the Eid-ul-Azha rolls in Pakistan. The main objective is to celebrate and everyone makes sure that they do it to the fullest except some...

My Buddy Ahmed Ashraf (^_^)

But Who?

This is a story about cadets ...

When the world craves to be engineers, doctors, businessman and get filthy rich there are people who put aside this material wealth and present themselves to be the brave warriors who will watch the country and protect it and if need be they would lay their lives and give their blood but would not let any intruder put a step on our soil. 

For us, the happiness is killing bad people, for us the happiness is patrolling the border, for the happiness is receiving the bullets on our chest in battlefield. Our music is swishing sound of rockets, the falling shells of bullets, the dripping blood on field, the random noise of our radio transponders and we love the exploding bombs, the flying dirt, the exploding buildings, the shattering glass. We say mission accomplished when we set ablaze an enemy vehicle spying our lands, for us there is just one joy, that is the fear of our bravery in the eyes of our enemy that keeps him awake all night. We are Land warriors and we die like warriors.

 

Should you choose to accept this? Every single second somewhere someone in the world die but when we die, the world knows that a cadet has left marks of glory on this world, the children sing tales of bravery in their schools, the mothers feel proud that their sons have finally did their duty, though they were naughty arrogant brats but while leaving home for the academy they all might have said that 

'Mom next time when you hear about me You will be proud and that's what we do!'

Making a million dollar might seem fascinating but saving million lives by giving your own has its own charm and only a CADET knows it! 

So this EID I want to thank all trained-cadets under-training-cadets and cadets-to-be who undergo a very strict training and give up their happiness and luxuries which they could have had if they had chosen to be someone else rather than being a cadet. But on behalf of 17 crore population of Pakistan I here by say 

'Thank You for everything you are doing for us, you mean a lot for this nation, we will never ever forget you and everyday, five times when we pray to Almighty Allah we pray for your safety and for everything you are doing for us. You are our true heroes. '

*Salutes* With Infinite Love

How Can We Save Pakistan?

It was just yet another day and I was browsing the US Magazine group where I found a post where a person asked if anyone believed that one day we might wake up in the morning to see a new and peaceful Pakistan? I was going through the replies and finally the ones I encircled in red forced me to write this that how can we save Pakistan!

Disclaimer: This is just my point of view and it does not means that it right and will bring peace in Pakistan and this is the only solution to Save Pakistan. All the views and opinions are my own and I do not impose them on anybody. You are free to accept or reject them! Criticism is welcomed.

Q: How Can We Save Pakistan?

Ans : You have to make that happen ! You ask how can we? Well ... Start from yourself !

Ask how many people you have helped in your life? In anyway?
How many times have you wasted energy? left the lights on, tap running etc.
How many times have you been rude to your fellows?

Though trivial they may seem but do you know that approx. 17 crore people of Pakistan think the same and they do not help others, waste energy and are rude.
Have you ever wondered if you do not help anyone once or waste energy for one second or show rude behavior then as a nation multiply it by 17 crore and realize that every single second we deny to help 17 crore people, we waste 17 crore seconds of energy and disappoint 17 crore people with our behavior ...

Let's just put aside the corruption, unrest, inflation, suicide bombings and politics!

Let's talk humanity, let's talk about doing what you can!

How many times have you thought that why people steal? 

Do they steal for fun?
NO! they steal to survive. We are fortunate enough that we get three good quality meals a day. Have you ever personally left your home and surveyed how people live? how they survive? The answer is NO !

So lets just stop asking what to do, no one will come and hold your hand and say lets do this! There are so many people living near you who need your help! Your care, your love and support. I bet everyone has some maids coming to their homes for cleaning etc. they all live in 'Servant Quarters' (That's what we use to call them in Pakistan)

Have you ever

• Sent them a present? 
• Talked to their kids? 
• Sent them Eid dresses or even good food that you eat? 

Most of you would say NO ! That's what we need to do.

Help whom you can!

At least help those whom you can. A chocolate costs ten rupees. Once in a week give it to someone who never had one. He would be really happy with you. A toffee costs one rupees give one to a street child daily. Whatever your mom cooks, give a small piece of it to the poor who live nearby you by yourself, be polite to others, say thank you whenever someone does something for you. Be kind and courteous. Change yourself and the change will follow!

I hate media because they care about is business and gossips and scandals ... they spread negativity. People get more and more depressed everyday. Fine we cant do anything about it. but at least love the ones whom you can, spend some time with them. So no matter how hard the times get, how high the inflation gets, the poor would know that Youth of Pakistan will send them presents on Eid, good food and share their sorrows. If you do that then trust me, no one will give a damn about what media has to say, what govt. has been doing, for they will be happy and all of us would be united !

We all are humans and we all need Love.

Spread Love not for the sake of photo session but for the Sake of Humanity! 

That's what you can do! That's what you should do and that's what you should tell others to do!

Volunteer and be a part of this Love Revolution !

Celebrations? You must be kidding me !

Yeah ... It's been a VERY VERY LONG TIME since I last blogged ! A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENED ! but after all I decided to continue what I started as I found a new reason to live. Anyway, putting everything aside let's just talk a bit about the Eid Celebrations.

Everyone around is going frenzy over Eid Mubarik and soon my news would be flooded with Eid Mubarik Messages, posts, tags, statuses. OK You think I am over reacting but think about it what have you done in the past whole month? Do you think that are you even eligible to celebrate?

By eligibility I mean that you performed the following tasks with utmost dedication and with pious intentions

• Prayed five times a day punctually
• Fasted whole month for Allah 
• Read Quran
• Helped atleast one needy person financially
• Put smile on one sad person
• Spent time with my family
• Was nice to my younger brothers and sisters
• Never lied, cheated or stole anything
• Never broke heart of any person

I guess these are enough as I can go on for about 10-15 more things but let's just get a initial check on these and I a quite sure that hardly anyone would say Yes I did all of these things!

So while you are going out for shopping and playing music in your cars and so called celebrating Eid, do ponder that Eid is not about the celebrations, it is about reflecting over your deeds of previous month which was supposed to train you to control yourself from doing Evil. How much strong are you now?

Speaking Engineering, Ramazan was an internship and now you have to analyse that how much command you have over your desires? Can you see an evil and stop it or would you just go like the rest of the herd and be a part of that evil deed?

Ponder and then Celebrate as I just heard about that Satin is bailed out so watch out !

I am a Kafir

Today, I really felt ashamed to be called a Pakistani.

I witnessed how some mad mindless people, so called my country men destroyed my country with their own hands.

Reason: Some Person Posted A Blasphemous Video On YouTube 

You know I have seen mad people, i have seen insane people, i have seen addicts but honestly speaking i don't know what to call these people. Even animals don't destroy their homes with their own hands and here the world witnessed how some bunch of so called Pakistani people showed the world that "Yes, we are angry, We do not have any sense, We are political puppets, We can destroy our country whenever we want, you don't need to invade us, we can destroy it with our own hands, we can kill our people, we can burn our automobiles. Yes we are Pakistani !

I never wanted to write this but I think that religious and political parties have ruined Pakistan. Just for the sake of politics they have caused so much damage to this country that if we combine ten times the loss incurred in 65 War then it becomes what these parties have done to Pakistan.

They have tried their level best to use media to create an environment of negativity, create depression in people, give rise to frustration, promoted economic meltdown and last but not least gave birth to this "Destroying the country with own hands" culture.

I have few questions which I want to ask all those who went in "PROTESTS" and who organized "PROTESTS" and who actively make use of these "PROTESTS" and damaged the infrastructure.

Stop Playing with us, we know that these rallies were only for political benefits, you just wanted to have a label that your party "PROTESTED" and rallied all around the country so you can use this line in your election that "O People of Pakistan! We organized the biggest rally in Pakistan when the blasphemous video was uploaded on Youtube."

My Answer : Die infidels, We hate you. Go to HELL, At least the educated class don't gives a shit to it.

and then i m quiet sure you will sing the religious tunes and tell your uneducated, brainwashed bunch of people that He is KAFIR who is not protesting against this. Quran Says that we should kill those who do this and that.

My Answer : If that is your definition of Muslim then i m proud to be a KAFIR. Think useless mindless freaks there is a way of protesting. Your government put a ban on Youtube. The Youtube suffered a million Dollar loss. End of conversation ! Now what's the point of going out on roads and burning your whole country down just because you are so called Angry? 

Grow up and act like educated person and stop destroying the image of Pakistan. 

Pakistan is not an arena of Terrorism, it is not the breeder Extremists so Kindly STOP propagating negativity and hatred about Pakistan.

Am I at Peace ?

Away from family,
Away from glitters,
Away from world,
In the middle of nowhere,
Sitting on the dry, barren, mounds,
My soul questioned,
A question which sent a shiver down my spine,
Which made my heart restless,
Which made my mind numb …
It asked “Are you at peace?”

Shoe Shoe Thingy !!!

http://issuu.com/elementprime/docs/element_prime_-_january_2012
(see page 28 after opening the link)

Never seen before, never heard before and definitely never tried before.

A brand new innovation introduced by Iraqi journalist in 2008 to express his deep gratitude in an wonderful way.

You got that right!!! It's the shoe-shoe thingy I’m talking about.

All it takes is A shoe, a politician, a press conference and a bucket-full-of courage to do this courageous act

Yeah "COURAGEOUS" it's not a child's play so definitely practice it (say 100 times) at home on young brothers and sisters before making

your first and last public demonstration !!! :D

Why shoe hurling?

•  You want some thrill in your life?

•     You want newspapers to talk about you?

•     You want people to hail you as a public hero?

•     You do not care about anyone?

•     You want some Wikipedia to add your name in the list of those who did this "heroic" act?

If you said yes to those questions then HI five!!! You are in!!!

No previous experience required just put on your shoes and visit your nearest press conference today

and let's get rolling to make the 'Breaking headlines' :D

This tradition was introduced by Muntadhar-al-zaidi , Iraqi journalist . This heroic act inspired people all around the world to try this new fashion in politics and from 2008 till now numerous shoe-hurling incidents have been recorded (Wiki them yourself) 

Do you have any new idea? Any new tradition? Which you want to introduce in the world of politics? Or you want us to talk about? Let us know!!! Till then Happy Shoe-hurling!! J

Lament

http://revolutionflame.com/2012/01/lament/

A collection of thoughts
A prison for words
The preacher of Love
But it’s not a “Dove”

A Collage of ideas
Spilled all over
A Mosaic of views
But it’s not the “NEWS”

Some love it
Some hate it
Some live in it
Some crave for it
We write in it ,
Comment on it
Make mess on it
Tear it
Leer it

Ignorance …
That’s what I call it …

It’s a life changer
A revolutionist
Speaking for a change
It’s a rebel detaining the untamed
It’s an abyss of knowledge
A portal of information

For those …
Who value it
Respect it
Love it
Dwell in it
Live in it

People know it as
Boring stuff
Loads of pages
Full of creepy writing
It is a “BOOK” !!!

Is It Love ?

Love …
Keats defined it as the irresistible feeling to be irresistibly desired …
It is one those invaluable gifts which at times we ignore but later in solitude we realize that worth of it …
It’s not an agreement of two beings , it’s a bond which breaks into tiny little pieces if you add a little “ego’ in it , sprinkle a little “selfishness” in it , mix a little “carelessness” in it …
Value this invaluable gem …
Cherish this cherish able feeling
Love and spread love !!!
