Power of Positivity, Gratitude & Recognition

In June 2017, I was offered the position of HR Business Partner in Insignia and I whole-heartedly accepted the offer. Upon joining the company, I felt a great resistance over sharing of data and everyone seems to hide the information with the peers and just do their work. I would usually go to my colleague and ask him to help me out with something and his reaction would be "Can you just wait for 1 hour as I am busy with few quick assignments and by that time I will be able to assist you?" I would do some other work and I would go back to him after an hour to listen to the same phrase of waiting. After a couple of tries, I lost myself to anger and I went staring to Head of the Department of HR and complaint about my colleague. Following the instructions of my Line Manager, I went to him and told him that boss is saying to provide this data as it is very urgent. He listened and rolled over his eyes and told me that he was also finishing his task assigned to him by the same pe...

Lasting Social Trend: Recommended Prescription

I have been upset for quite a time for numerous reasons yet the social challenges contribute much difficulty to everyday life. Home is the time when you are seeking some peace in your private space but South East Asia is the region where sibling drama can take everlasting negative impression. There are four major reasons which is the cause of the sibling rivalries. Diagnosis Everyone knows having kids and raising them is very tricky. In a life of a child there comes four phases where the child gets much involved and then the base of family gets shattered. Over the period of time this broken mirror only show us a blur and unclear image of other family members. The major reason of this rivalry starts with the element of jealousy when we have the most favorite child “ The Chosen One ”. Over the period of time this chosen child gets attention and priority over other siblings. Hence the child become the major target and sooner or later he/she will be bashed. During...

Emotional Abuse

Image
1. The person wont let you go home or see your friends very often or at all. 2. The person uses passive aggressive comments to you into doing what he/she wants. 3. The person makes you believe that you are too broken, ugly or useless to be wanted by someone else. 4. You need approval for everything. The person treats you like property not as a person. 5. The person continues to do things that he/she knows will upset you and blames it on you because you are "overreacting". 6. The person threatens to kill his/her self when you muster up the strength to leave so you stay and are manipulated even more. ABUSE is NOT always PHYSICAL. Courtesy by Little Things

جذباتی بدسلوکی Emotional Abuse

Image
جذباتی بدسلوکی بہت اہم سماجی مسلئہ ہے. اس کی کچھ شناختیں مندرجہ ذیل میں بیان کی جا رہی ہیں: آپ کو مکمل طور پر یا اکثر و بیشتر اپنے دوستوں یا گھر والوں سے ملنے نہ دینا. غیر فعال جارحانہ تبصرہ کرتے ہوۓ صرف اپنی مرضی کے کام کروانا. آپ میں عدم اعتماد پیدا کرنا کہ آپ بدصورت اور ناکارہ ہیں اور آپ کو کوئی نہیں چاہتا آپ سے انسان کی بجانے بطور ملکیت پیش آنا. اور آپ کو ہر کام کے لئے اجازت منگوانا. جانتے  بوجھتے آپ کو پریشان کرنے والے کام کرنا . اور الزام بھی آپ پر لگانا کے آپ کے ردعمل کے اظہار کے  نتیجے میں سب معاملات خراب ہوے ہیں. جب بھی آپ چھوڑنے کی ہمت کا مظاہرہ کریں تو خود کو ختم کرنے کی دھمکی دیتے ہوۓ اپ کو روک لینا اور پہلے سے زیادہ استحصال کرنا. دوستوں، زیادتی/ بدسلوکی صرف جسمانی نہیں ہوتی. اس کے خلاف شعور پیدا کریں اور آوازاٹھائیں... بشکریہ  Little Things

What I Want v.s. What I am Capable of

Lots of People send me LinkedIn messages requesting for any employment opportunity in the company I work. Mostly, I follow the standard procedures and help them as far as it is possible. Sometimes, I receive a strange request like "Can I get a job which I want"? When I was evaluating the notion of 'what I want' and 'what I am capable of', there came a thought about the mentioned phrases. First, What I want is related to the desire which reflects the wishes of individual for themselves. Sometimes such view are inculcated   by others who always praise without reason. For example, saying that you have a great potential to a person who has no knowledge and experience of a particular field results in raising the false hopes. However, people are more judgmental and accurate in assessing others but they judge as per their own criteria and environment (not as per job requirement). Keeping such situations in mind, the image of self should be very clear when y...

A Visit to Dubai - 2014

Image
This blog was written a year back but just found it in the trash. After reading it, I came to know every word once written is important. Without any alteration in this blog, everything is in front of you. I belong to Pakistan which is considered to be the heaven of terrorist. People think of Pakistan as everyone is holding a Kalashnikov and pointing at the world's most peaceful citizens "Citizens of US". The general impression you get is that a person is blowing himself resulting in casualties. I do not prefer to watch TV and the only reason is that I do not get enough time to watch it. When I watch a serial or a Movie unfinished, it haunts me and I am miserable in such condition. Pakistani's are common people but they are unfortunate that their country has such an awesome strategic location for economic growth but it is ruined due to war economy and conflict. Due to the interest of hegemon , they seldom get a chance to get developed. I have never been to a...

Love at Work

Image
Many surrounding thoughts are usually different from what you think. The way you think and execute your plan; it makes the real difference and that's the beauty of human diversity. On the verge of my twenties, I realized that infatuation is the only thing which has a strong influence on me. A time came when my best friend told me that "Atif, my friend, mark my words: You will never fall in love." I was sure that I belong to that particular category of man who may never fall in love; never will. I joined recently in an international corporate industry and went through the difficult times during the initial period. After three months of joining, I saw a beautiful girl, long hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and fine hair. Graceful personality and perfect grooming etiquettes were a plus point, but her excellent communication skills and computer expertise were a perfect combination in delivering the customer services and administration task...

HYPE - A Youth Talent Hunt

Image
This was four months and two weeks that I h been staying in Dubai, UAE. There is no doubt that Dubai is the most organized city in the world. It rules and laws are facilitating and equally applicable to all. The life in Dubai has its charming attraction either you go to Palm Deira, Jumeirah Lake Tower, Dubai Mall, Mall of Emirates, Beach, Burj ul Arab, Dancing Fountain or Desert Safari. Anywhere you go you are bound to enjoy the cultural diversity and tasty food from around the world. The mix offers you much. The policies are human friendly; everyone is surely ready to help you. This is, no doubt, the land of opportunities and promising life. As I moved to Dubai, I started living with my relatives. This reduced my chances of being homesick to zero. As we all know, real family is real so you can't avoid missing them. My relatives who are now very very dear to me gave me every possible opportunity to be happy. On the other hand, I also tried to mix with the culture. We went for vi...

Problems of health related Research Articles

Image
Hey guys, These days technology is really helping us improve our health to spend better and long life. We all know well that every week we learn about least five research papers which talk about health. I thought to look forward to one of the research paper so that I may look forward to better stable life. It was about eating sugar. I used to consume less sugar and then a news appeared before my eyes stating that sugar is not good for people in general but it is very helpful for brain cells to have glucose during any mental activity and sugary stuff thus be consumed remains productive. Wow, then I changed my schedule for sugar and started consuming more sugar specifically chocolates. Soon, I came to know that sugar is not good for your health as it can cause obese and may lead to early death. I thought, "Dude, I gotta control myself or I will die early, I am just 24. Who wants to die early???" So, once again I changed my eating habits and started consuming as little sugar a...

Rethinking Freedom of Speech

As a political scientist as well as social scientist, scholars and researchers should work to unite the different cultures and ethnicity. The term 'Unity' refers to the process which is rather peaceful and opted voluntarily by the great masses. On the other hand, there is another terminology 'Merge'. Merging refers to a forceful process in which people are compelled to do anything against their wishes. The policy makers should consult them if there is a way to bring the people closer regardless of race, religion and ethnicity. During my BSc Hons in Political Science, I came across various theories. I remember one of a lecture cum class discussion in which the professor said, "Democracy represents not all but the majority and majority means 50% + 1. 49% + 99 will always remain minority". The incident in Paris took place with its very sad consequences resulting in sad demise. right after the incident, the media pointed all its cannon to Islam. Let me tell ...

Contemporary Affairs

Pakistan is a rich country in diversity. It is the one of the country in the world where people live in the depression yet people make sure that they spread happiness and spread smile on the face of their family. There are hundred of issues in the world going on. The most sever issue in the world is the protection of Human Rights and democratic norms in the third world countries. This feature is described as one of the most sacred notion for the continuation of civilised society. The intellectuals and scholars have contended this process as a "Hijacked" Democracy. The equality before law is maintained but that law making process is ensured through the Legislative Institutions. But those who try to be part of this law making institutions they require capital for the political and election campaignes. These campaignes are supported by those rich people who tend to bend law in their favor. In short, they are above than law. Only law which cannot be altered is the law of Human Ri...

Jihad, Terrorism and Muslims

Why would Muslim ask you to come for Jihad? They will make a theoretical framework in which they will narrate the selected verses that force offering Jihad. The Jihadis will convince even a grown up man to go for Jihad. Why? They will simply say that this is commanded by Almighty Allah and you will not be able to refuse it. The Question is why they force to go for Jihad. The Answer is very Simple. They will use the trick of oratory to convince you. Yesterday I had a chance to offer prayer in the nearby Mosque where an Alim was called who had specialized in preaching Islam. Luckily he belonged to Syed and I myself am Syed. He sold/misused the verse of Almighty Allah in a really bad (misinterpretation). Allah never commanded to offer Jihad on a regular basis. Allah asked you to do Jihad when it is necessary. But the Jihadi Alim had only one thing in mind that one has to fight to implement the Law (System) of Allah. But Allah says to live with peace. Even Prophet lived with Christian a...

سعادت حسن منٹو سے اخذ شدہ

30 Books You Should Read Before You're 30 Posted:  09/20/2013 12:31 pm EDT Courtesy By  huffingtonpost The best books aren't static stories, but living entities with meanings that change and grow along with you. That's why we strongly recommend   rereading the classics   that were assigned to you in high school; you may find that they're nothing like they were before. Still, some books are best experienced at a certain age,  like, say, "Catcher in the Rye." If you pick it up for the first time when you're far beyond puberty, you'll likely wonder what all the hype is about. Likewise, there are certain books you should read in your 20s, due to the age of the characters or the intended audience -- books like Donna Tartt's "The Secret History" or Christopher Hitchens' "Letters to a Young Contrarian." There are also fantastic classics that may not have been assigned to you in school but that you should pick up AS...
