How to become experienced by learning from others
Posted by: kinzatahir on: May 25, 2012
“There are those who learn from their own experiences while successful people learn from other’s experiences.”
This is a quote I have been hearing for a long time. My friends tell me horror stories about incidents which happened with people to keep me on full alert if something similar happens to me so I would know what to do and how to react.
- The most essential and the first thing to have if you want to learn from others is the habit of listening. Even if you’re asking questions, let the other person complete their answers before you move to another question. If you really want to know and learn, always listen attentively and patiently.

9 hours Twitter Blackout in Pakistan
Posted by: kinzatahir on: May 21, 2012
Discussions had been going on a day earlier whether Twitter would really be banned or were they just warnings?
I had woken up on the aggravated day of 20th May, trying to access Twitter to vent and what not. I thought something was wrong with my phone or I was daydreaming because the timeline wasn’t refreshing. Basically Twitter was unreachable. I quickly messaged a friend via Facebook saying my worst fear, seeing it turn it into reality that is was twitter really blocked? A kind soul she is who told me ways to get to it, allowing me to tweet like a gangster when there was actually a #TwitterBan in Pakistan.

Media diversion from Spot Fixing in IPL to Shahrukh Khan
Posted by: kinzatahir on: May 19, 2012
Shots went out of the park, wickets flew in the air and entertainment to the fullest, I’m talking about IPL that is Indian Premier League. It started with a bang with its first season when Lalit Modi was in charge. He really did bring a creative idea to the table claiming respect from all over the world. IPL is a franchise which allows cricket players from all over the world to play with their fellow cricketers from different countries combined in a team. I had followed the first season very closely since it featured our Pakistani players. I had supported Rajasthan Royals from the beginning and they had won.

Since the progress of ideas and innovations, Pakistan and its music industry has truly been extraordinary.

Respecting Teachers Who Made Us
Posted by: kinzatahir on: May 10, 2012
Like always my face was in my phone when I heard the breaking news music on the idiot box. It always takes my attention! Apart from news like babies mostly females handed over to Edhi, one thing that caught my attention was how teachers were treated like punching bags by the students yesterday in Karachi.
What I could grab from the 10 second news bulletin was how teachers were tried to be choked and abused because they did not allow cheating in exams.
“We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude.”
- Cynthia Ozick
Teachers with the anticipation of spreading their wisdom to delicate minds, are one of those special people in the world who deserve our utmost respect.
Top 6 Reasons You Are Having Exams
Posted by: kinzatahir on: May 2, 2012
It’s the season of exams. As I see my little sisters going through the pain of studying I feel happy for them. They work towards getting excellent grades, learning the art of hard work and the techniques of studying right.
Students learn a lot from this phase of their life. They know how to divide their time in studying, breaks, revision to that extent that a single disturbance may result in time wastage.
The worst thing during this time is when you’re giving up your life achieving your dreams and still there is pressure to get better from family. Some parents understand the situation since they realize that their children know from right and wrong. Their children know that an educated mind is a successful mind. While on the other hand, cousins, relatives AND parents pressure you to get into prestigious universities. Not allowing sleep just sitting on the chair facing the table and studying continuously.
Here are the following symptoms basically warnings which will let you know a person is giving their serious exams so that you may stay away!
1. Their face has an attitude problem.
When you meet them in normal days, you will see them laughing, cracking jokes but months before the exam, you try to talk to them and I seriously tell you they will shoot you down insulting your whatever leftover ego. They talk less and when you approach them talking on anything except the subjects they are giving, they get irritated.

Moin Akhtar – A Personality You Can Never Forget
Posted by: kinzatahir on: April 22, 2012
This morning when I woke up, while joining my family in watching TV, I saw channels showing old shows of Mr. Moin Akhtar, which made me realize today is his 1st death anniversary.
The man who was truly a treasure, the man who completely changed the television industry. When he was shooting for a show, Mr. Burger, I had a chance to do a scene with him. Well, actually I was 8 years old and while he was delivering his dialogues along with his co-actors I was eating oranges.
I never had a chance to interact with him, although I used to watch him from afar. The way he acted and showcased his talent, I could see that he had a thirst of bringing the best of his ability. Anyone would say he had a sense of humor, but I would say his personality was a humorous one, he had the power, the knack to make anyone laugh, which is one of the greatest gifts God could give to anyone.
Is Nadia Khan Back For Good?
Posted by: kinzatahir on: April 19, 2012
Mornings are great to refresh your mind. A while back people, ladies specially, started their day with morning shows.
The morning show frenzy started all because of the famous Nadia Khan. She started the trend of having morning shows, calling up genuine and respected people, creating awareness keeping people informed about various things going on in Pakistan. Shaista Wahidi is in her league while Savera Nadeem, Maya Khan followed her, I’ll talk about them later. First focusing on Nadia jee, she has been in the show business for quite a long time and after her morning shows people genuinely started liking her. I heard comments like ‘your show is a vital change in our lives, really energizes us’. People used to admire her sense of style, the way she talked and I have to admit me too.
