You know what bloggers do when we don’t have any thing important to blog. We TAG!! I was tagged by our favorite blogger Lubna ;) and this time the rules of the game are:

List 6 actions or achievements you think every person should accomplish before turning 18.There are no conditions on what can be included on the list. At the end of your post, choose 6 people to get tagged and list their names. People who are tagged write their own blog entry with their 6 suggestions. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged.

Well I can only advise guys but gurls can comment too ;)

Things to do Before You Turn 18

  1. Learn how to swim, drive, ride a motorbike, tractor, and a helicopter :P don’t wait until you get 18. If you are in Pakistan you can learn how to do all the above mentioned things.

  1. Learn how to play a music instrument. Depends on your taste, I will suggest you a guitar.

  1. Try getting good grades at school and high school. Its important people, I know the schooling sucks and there are better things to do then doing home work but you don’t want less talented people with better grades judging you.

  1. Fall in love and get dumped, and then fall in love with a better girl. It’s a learning process and people spend ages following this pattern but nobody learns ever. Trust me ;)

  1. Do the most dangerous thing ever. I ain’t advising you to get yourself killed but you can pull a prank without getting yourself seriously injured. Or cant you :P
  2. Find  God ! Its the most important part of anyones life;  the sooner the better

I am assuming that you belong to a good family and you will learn how to respect elders, so I won’t tell you to learn that. And besides there are things in life that one learns through experiences; good or bad. And no can tell you how to do it. But one should enjoy its life to the fullest before the unfair life dawns upon you.

The Echo Boomers/Generation ‘Y’ by Asim Imtiaz

Stand back all bosses! A new breed of workforce is about to attack everything you hold sacred: from giving orders, to your starched white shirt and tie. They are called, among other things, “The Echo Boomers.” There are the Generation Y, born in the 80’s, and they’re rapidly taking over from the baby boomers who are now pushing 60.

They were raised by doting parents who told them they are special, played in little teams with no winners or losers, or all winners. They are laden with trophies just for participating and they think your business-as-usual ethic is for the birds. And if you persist in the belief you can, take your job and …errr…well…shove it.

The workplace has become a psychological battlefield and the millennials have the upper hand, because they are tech savvy, with every gadget imaginable almost becoming an extension of their bodies. They multitask, talk, walk, listen and type, and text. And their priorities are simple: they come first.

Faced with new employees who want to roll into work with their iPods and flip flops around noon, but still be CEO by Friday, companies are realizing that the era of the buttoned down exec happy to have a job is so dead. It’s a future of sweet talking bosses, no more “Pay your dues just like I did.” If this generation knows anything, it’s that there are more jobs than young people to fill them. The attitude is ‘If you don’t want me, Mr. Employer, I’ll go sell myself down the street. I’ll probably get more money. I’ll definitely get a better experience. And by the way, they’ll adore me. You only like me.’

And in case you are wondering why FORTUNE has selected Google as the number 1 employer, it’s because of the fact that they are truly a GenY’ers paradise. Watch out the following video:

Election Campaign 2008; Twist and Shout!!

Posted by عمار - aMmAr | Posted in Pakistan, Politics, Social and Politics, humor | Posted on 16-02-2008-05-2008

28

As the day of elections is getting nearer the sound of the songs of political parties are getting louder and louder and louder. You walk out of your house and you will find young men shaking their thing not on the dance floor but on the main road :P Party workers find the songs and dances important, some people find it funny and normal people like me find it weird.

 

Today I would like to talk about the top songs that have (not) moved the nation off their feet and urged them to dance their breath out :P

 

Topping the charts is the song that I have learned by heart like all the other Karachiites. Its;

1) Muzlomo ka Saaathi by MQM;

 

Its not that I love the song, or lyrics or the fact that the melodious music made me learn it by heart. But the place I use to live for the past 3 elections and the place where I am living right now is accidentally near the election office of MQM. The song starts with the word which suggests us of a certain product which should not be named in public for some reason. No wonder both our population and patients of AIDS are increasing with every minute. But it’s the most popular song of all election time. It’s like Dil Dil Pakistan of elections.

2) Jiye Bhutto benazir by PPPP;

Now this song makes you dance, the makrani ishtyle. You know what I am talking about right ;) Yes it’s second on our charts and it rocks. When the late Bhutto was returning from exile and her party workers were all jubilant on her return. I saw a group of 20 odd dancing on main Shah rah –e- Faisal, one of the busiest roads of Karachi city. I dunno about any of you guys but right now I am dancing on this number; the makrani ishtyleeee ;)

3) Shair( Lion) Hamaraa by PML-N

 

By ‘Share’ the poet meant the lion, and not the stock exchange’s share market :P Now this song is brand new in comparison to the top 2 songs. But I like the song, especially the ‘aaaaaaaaaaah……aaaaahhhh..aaaaaaaahhhhhh’ in the background. You cant dance on this song though, but it makes you all ready to vote for the guy in the toupee (ie Nawaz and Shahbaz) :D

4) Chacha wardi landaa kyun nahee byMusharraf

 

Uncle why don’t you take your uniform off!! This is a promotional song by Musharraf’s well-wishers. The title suggests other wise but don’t concentrate on the lyrics, images, video, or the fact that he was ill-leagally elected in uniform or what mess the country is in today thanks to Chacha Musharraf. Please ignore all the opposition propaganda; eat your chicken and drink your cold beer.

And you thought I didn’t get songs for PML-Q and MMA, think again. Just because they have little or no public support it doesn’t mean they don’t have the right to campaign and make songs.

Have a lovely election season. Those who don’t know how to dance tap their fingers and jump on one foot. Those who don’t have roti, can eat bread instead. Those who don’t have electricity can borrow it from China. This last video is rated and contains strong words and abuses. Watch at your own risk.
