Uncha Neecha

Uncha Nicha

My name is Razaq, I am a student of intermediate, I am also a motorbike mechanic, and I am functioning in a garage after college to tolerate my everyday expenditure and to hold up my family. I was free after my graduation from GC University Lahore. In my leisure time, I experienced to be a part of a workshop in a local private institution. When I came there at the very first day, I found Most of the people there were from under developed private institutions and some were also part of underprivileged occupations. All their outlooks and behaviors were telling their stories. Above mentioned words was not the only story of Razaq, the majority people there were the victims of bad luck but Razaq was a different person by his story. He was a boy of age between 18-20 years and he was smiling. I was seeing tears and pain behind his smile. As his smile was trying to hide his inner emotions which were trying to broke out. The students of his age are ruining the money of their parents but on the other side of picture that young boy is paying to born in a poor family. In his age of study and dreaming for a bright career his hands are playing with motorbike wires and tires. My eyes got wet after listening the tragic story of Razaq and others. Suddenly, I remembered some words of Ahson Iqbal- former Federal Minister for Education Pakistan (in a talk show, when anchor asked him, that people are dying due to social-economic crises, who is the responsible?, what u people are doing?). He replied:- Mr. Anchor about which world you are talking about, people in Pakistan are well rich, and have all facilities, even they have million to expense for their luxuries. That was a sensation less reply from the former Federal Minister but that was not unexpected. We know bitterly the realities of our ministers but accordingly to our slavery addictions we love to follow the habits of ostrich and pigeon. I just want to say on his statement. Mr. former Federal Minister .Try to come out from your elite life, elite houses and just take a glance on the conditions in which Pakistani people are living in our beloved country.

Roshan Pakistan

That day I left university for home at 4pm. My home is at 15 minutes walk from my university but I decided to take a bus to home which is my normal routine. As I reached at the bus stop the glimpse there made me wonder, more than hundred people were standing there waiting for the bus. I realized that it is output of traffic jam as a result of some jalsa but the conditions of people were miserable. I decided to move towards next bus stop but got signs of regret as there were bundle of people as well at next three points. Then I decided to move on my own foots, as I reached at the petrol pump near my home there I saw long lines of cars in the thirst of CNG. I keep moving towards destiny, when I enter in the territory of my clan there was only darkness that was not signs of missionaries or locusts in the heart of Africa but it was the curse of our Government “The Loadsheding”. I laughed a bit and start moving towards my home with words “na bijli he na pani he phir b dil Pakistani he” :-)

Young Journalist Society in GCU hosts interactive session with editors, journalists.

Government College University (GCU) Young Journalists Society (YJS), on Thursday, hosted an interactive session with eminent editors, columnists and journalists, titled “Evening to Remember”, on the issue “Challenges confronting fourth pillar of state”.

Daily Times Editor Rashed Rahman, Daily Pakistan Editor Mujeebur Rahman Shami and renowned anchorperson and columnist Aftab Iqbal were the chief guests of the event. GCU Vice Chancellor (VC) Professor Dr Ikramul Haq was also present on the occasion. While addressing the audience, Rashed Rahman said that a historic turning point occurred when the printing press was invented, which was soon followed by the advent of newspapers. He said that the printing press played a crucial role, both in the pre-partition and post-partition periods.

“The journalistic world today has been introduced to two new terms, namely new media and old media,” he said, adding that new media is the most democratic form of media. He added that during General Ziaul Haq’s regime in 1980s, a term had been invented, called “Lifafa Journalism”.

Rahman further said that media was losing the country’s youth as its audience and if the trend continued, it would become very difficult to steer them back towards fields of media and journalism. He also shared some of his student life memories when he was a student at GCU and also a member of GCU’s Dramatic Club.

Separately, Mujeebur Rahman Shami said that free media reflected the true picture of a society and only countries having complete media freedom could excel in all spheres of life. He added, “The growth of electronic media over the past few decades has been very rapid in Pakistan. The media can shape and have deep impact on public opinion.”

Meanwhile, Aftab Iqbal said also shared some memories of his student life at GCU. “In my opinion, the major challenge we face at the moment is of maintaining high quality news reports and upholding journalistic values in such a small yet extremely competitive market,” he said. Speaking at the event, Ikramul Haq said that the media was a watchdog of public interest, carrier of information, promoter of a free and balanced debate, and was the most dynamic institution representing the civil society.

Towards the end, Mujeebur Rehman Shami and Rashed Rahman distributed shields amongst the members of Lahore Education Reporters Association (LERA) and YJS members. The event was followed by dinner and a musical night.
