well sum ppl call him azar and sum elizher but what is in da name????its ur behaviour,attitude and dealings dat count and matters.and m glad dat ma friend has all these qualities in sufficient amount.

the best thing bout him is dat he alwayz alwayz backs up his friends by increasing their confidence.he doesnt pulls da legs of his fellows 2 go ahead.

i 9 him 4 last 3 years and during this tenure i have never seen him fighting wid ne1.180 degrees opposite to me.most of all he is one of very few jo mujh jaisey "theetay" ko preps mein bhi lift kerwa daitey hein.


he is alwayz alwayz ready and sumtimes can go out of his way to help out of his friends.alwayz meets others wid a smiling face.

and last thing bout him is he is from sialkot "MUNDA SIALKOTIA" ... agli gul da tohanou patta hai na......

at the end i wish ur achievement list keep on increasing exponentially like da babies of rabbit.

okies.do remember me as a sincere friend.

I met Azar in my first year at Uet Lahore. Even though he is two years my senior He has become my best friend(he denies it being vice versa). I am a very reserved person and chose my friends very carefully, just a hand full. But there was something about him that attracted me from the first day we meet.(don't know what that is) But ever since our friendship has continued to grow. I wish he had been my session fellow that we we would have spent more time together but I know that our friendship is not limited by distances. We share many things in common and have a greater share of difference as well. Maybe its our differnces that bind us as I know no one would like it if we all were alike, thought the same way, had the same interests. Azar is a very honest person, he is brave enough to admit his mistakes and wise enought to know when to stay silent and when to speak. I am always glad to meet poeple who learn at the Master's feet, as they are in the same school where we remain students forever,Azar's one of them

At last i have got the time to write the testimonial of one the most world wide person having knowledge of every thing u want.He`s type of a guy with whom u will never get bore.Azhar is claver, friendly,confident, caring, theata, intelligent, helping, confident, attractive, calm n cool-headed and dependable and what and what not. He have got the great memory and mind.
Great memory in the sence that having knowledge of each and every person present in the university especially girls. One skill which is very rare but present in Azhar is that he knows how to
make other people happy. As a summray,I think he knows the true essence of life.I have tried my best to cover most of the feature present in this man.

After strong demand & urge,presenting u a testi_monial written for
Sir/Mr.Azar Toufeeq!!!

I dont know how i will write that coz ...i hate lies ..hehe kidding
:
:
:
Well I Know Azar for last mmmm....lemme calculate .....for almost one & a
half year ,I have witness the time period When he was student of UET and
how he become faculty member of Rachna College ,but .....nothing has
changed him he is still the same as he was ..........koi aik baat bhi
ho tou benda kehta hai but nahi ......
Although i never met him & I dont know much about him but what i know
is that; Azar is very intelligent & brilliant boy who got his own world in
his mind & he never showed that aspect of his thought to anyone he is kind
of reserve person in his own way but he will never agree on this comment(i
know that ..i m rite sir?)he got friendly jolly nature.And in some cases a
very supportive & understandable exceptionally....hehe...
U will never get bored in his company he always got something to make u laugh on or atleast put series of smile on ur face.He is always in cool mood you will never find him in tension or depressed mood which reflects his strong faith.
Azar is sweet and nice person but he always TRIES to pretend himself as bad boy dnt know y ?? i metioned that i dnt know much about him but as far as i know him i didnt find him the way he want himself to be recognize ...dnt know y .........haan one bad thing in him is his DRAMA attitude u never know k kis time he is pretending n when he is serious & talking in real manner.so its always a suggestion azar that this drama attitude is good "sometime" but some how it will resist people to trust/believe in u so ......agay u better know wht is good for you!
But beside that he is big drama full time paesa wasool piece!
He is always there to help you ,if u ask him about any favor he will do that with out any delay ...without wasting anytime & if he got to know about any thing of yourz which make u irritate he will never point out tht again and again to tease u .......
well all in all his is very nice chap & interesting fellow ...I am happy to have him as my firend GOD BLESS YOU AZAR ALWAYS IN ALL WAYS (The End)

I heard them saying " Why do you ignore me ? "

I slept last night around 2ish am and woke up at 5 am to catch a flight. What I was doing up so late probably was not a good thing. :/
I barely made to the airport in time and was the last person entering the plane, while everyone else was comfortably seated waiting to be air borne !. Although I was half asleep but the joy of gettting on time and catching the plane was enough to give me strength to find my seat.

I found a strong built redneck 6 feet tall guy already sitting on my seat I waited next to him without saying anything. He smiled and said "Do you have seat 14 A ? " I replied ," Yes , I have this number ".
"I thought everyone else is already boarded and I can take it as it was vacant" , he said. Rather than extending my approval to him so that he can continue sitting on my seat and I can sit on his instead, I was :| face. Not that I was not willing to sit on his seat instead, I was so tired and hundreds of other things running in my mind at that moment, did not allow me to search or care where his seat was. All I wanted was to get my seat.
Finally I got my seat, took off my sweater and started reading Chris Plekenpol's newly released book. I can read Chris even on an 18 hour non-stop flight too, his style and expression totally speak right deep inside to my head. (btw, thats what I did on my last International travel "Stumbling souls, Is love enough ?" this book kept me awake for whole 12 hours on the plane).

So here I am reading Chris' new book on my gifted kindle, I just finished 1.5 chapters and I hear this annoucement, "Please turn off all electronic devices, so that we can prepare for take off ".
Since I was tired from last night as well, I closed my eyes ,wanted to catch some sleep. For 15 minutes or so, weird dreams from last night kept on roaming around my mind. I could not sleep for a long time. I woke up drank some tomato juice..lol yes it is a fruit. It made me feel I am still alive and exist on this earth.

Now I knew I could not go back to sleep again , I had nothing to do other than sitting idle , listen to music or be bored, but I knew what I wanted to do. Since that afternoon when I heard , "Why do you always ignore me ? " These words were coming back and again in my mind since last week. So , here I ended up started writing some of my thoughts on this "Strange" behaviour of mine !

Words have power and written words become more powerful than spoken at times. So I feel its better to write rather than speak. Now in the following lines what I would like to present is another view regarding why and how a Person ignores another specific Person.
This view is popularly accepted in the game know as crush-crush as well, if you know what game it is !!!

This view is different from heuristic , socially accepted view of ignoring others where people ignore others only, if they have -ve emotions for others.


There is no simple way to explain this. We all are different ,look and treat things differently. However we all have more in common than differences when it comes to emotions.
Let me start off with an analogy, it can be weird but there is no best way to explain what kind of thinking go inside of our mind without using an analogy.

If you get something or find some one , what you always wanted what would you do ? Simple answer is: I don't know about you, but I will jump with joy :). But what if you find out, that the reason for which you are jumping with joy is short lived or it cannot be yours.
You can just see that subject but cannot have it. What would be a reasonable response then ??
I don't know about others ,what I would do is, I will say its better to think practically and keep moving try not to think much about your source of happiness too much, as you cannot have it therefore the more you will think it will cause more regret.

Now the same rule is applied to people and friendships as well. If you see some one and feel really happy and excited about ,but if you know it is just one way traffic/feeling . A fear takes place in your mind with this question, " If this happiness is short lived, why to go after it , why not to ignore and remain composed and stable".

Two people A and B know each other. A finds B , feels happy and excited but if A is aware of the fact , this happiness is short lived and fleeting and A cannot secure the happiness found in B as it is one sided. Then, A would try to avoid encounter with B as much as possible to keep itself strong and carefree. Because here we do not know and have not mentioned how much strong intention A may have for B.
Apparently A may ignore B at times. What is the real reason behind it, who knows ? You cannot tell or judge unless you know what are the intentions and emotions of A ?

How Engineering Education shaped by mind ?

I was driving back home the other day, while listening to Chunk Swindle, and during his sermon he mentioned one thing and the whole audience laughed. He said, and...." probably if your husband is an engineer he would not understand poetry " . Rather than laughing at his point. I was taken back to some old memories, the days when a good friend of mine used to say always, that I am engineering student I am practical I would not understand the feelings of some one else .
I always used to get away with the discussion, by making the point that its just my friend's assumption and thinking. However , once now as of today when I got a reality check , the situation turned out be different .
If you have come this far while reading this post, then make sure and understand, that the experiences shard in this blog reflect author's personal views and do no reflect a result in general.

Now coming back to the topic ,how engineering can change a mind ? Well, lets face the facts. Engineering students are always forced to think from mathematical perspective, logical extension of ideas. Some times it is very hard to make humanities and arts majors to understand the ideas of engineering and vice versa.

This way of thinking en- forces the mind to cross verify any information whichever is fed to the brain . This attitude lets you doubt your faith, fellowship discussion even the teachings your parents taught you.

To be continued ...for the next post part 2

PUSH !

I need to define a direction for myself. What do I want out of life ? :| The feeling of having everything and still having nothing is miserable. Everything we do in this world..some how or the other it relates or ends up to filling the stomach...If we don't fill the stomach , there is no use of doing that everything. (Stomach: Can be treated as a metaphor here and its meaning will vary ,depending on the subject)

I want to get rid of this feeling of good for nothing. In fact, when we use the term "conscientious" it is very good. But when things are not going well. Conscientiousness seems not to work as well according to its definition.

Some times at the back of your mind you do know the reason for your frustration and laziness. We know who is causing this stomach ache. But at the same time, we are so much obsessed with the circumstances or artificial lights...we try to go with the flow. But this practice can be dangerous especially for people who always require a PUSH for something. And specifically if you need a PUSH against the flow.

Think twice and be consistent to strive for, what you want out of Life !.

When you say Nothing at ALL.....

I heard it for the first time in 2006, and from then onwards I don't remember how many times I have heard it again and again over the years and still its fresh. I always experience the first time hearing kind of feeling. Lyrics are so well written, however the liveliness introduced by Ronan Keating (RK) in the lyrics is inexpressible.

Alison Krauss version for the same is also popular, however I never fell for that :|. I like the ups and downs of RK version. It feels like he is singing right from his own heart and is going through the same, whatever is expressed in the lyrics.

Enough being said, lets have a quick look about the song facts ,courtesy to www.songfacts.com

This was originally recorded by Country artist Keith Whitley in 1987.It was written by 2 leading country songwriters, Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz. The latter also wrote and previously recorded Kenny Rogers' American #1, "The Gambler."

When Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz were originally not too impressed with this song, but when they played it to Keith Whitley, he told them that they had written a classic and it became the second of 5 consecutive US Country #1s for Whitley, the last one posthumous - Whitley died at age 34. It was a Country hit a second time in 1995 for Alison Krauss & Union Station, but neither version reached the UK chart.

Richard Curtis wanted a key song for his new film Notting Hill. He suggested this song to Ronan Keating, who was then still with the Irish boy band Boyzone. According to 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, Ronan Keating said, "As soon as he mentioned the title, I was hooked."

This song is popular at christenings, marriages and funerals. It was also a #1 in Ronan Keating's native Ireland. (thanks, Edward Pearce - Ashford, Kent, England, for all above)

Now exaggerating a lot about the song. Lets read the Lyrics below.

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud (oh…)
But when you hold me near (oh, hold me near)
You drown out the crowd (drown out crowd)
Try as they may, they can never defy
What's been said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face let me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all…oh

Oh, the smile on your face let's I know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best, when you say nothing at all

You say it best, when you say nothing at all
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
(The smile on your face)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
(The truth in your eyes)
(The touch of your hand)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all
(Let me know that you need me)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all (nothing at all)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all (nothing at all)
You say it best, when you say nothing at all (nothing at all)

And finally Notting Hill was the biggest reason , why I like this song a lot.
Hope you all will enjoy it too. Google or Youtube "When you say nothing at all by Ronan Keating" Enjoy !
and enjoy it :) .
