My life

The battles I won
The ones I lost
Those that I did not fight
And that one too!
I died a little in all of them.

Last night, I saw my pain
Looking into my eyes
From that dark corner of the room
It was looking at me
I smiled back
And it smiled a little too!

Avoid Boring People


Let's be strangers again...

What are PIEAS BS(CIS) graduates doing?

I recently did a survey (http://goo.gl/forms/KEj4nPYnMN) of how our PIEAS BS(CIS) alumni were doing. Below is a summary of the results from this survey.

Survey Participation was pretty good. Thanks!


Current Employment Status of BS(CIS) Alumni (shown below) tells us that a good number are self employed. This makes me very happy.


A large proportion of our graduates have gone on to get higher degrees as shown below.


And a good chunk of them are outside Pakistan. Hopefully Pakistan will benefit from their experiences.

Bittersweet - Rumi and Madonna

http://www.ytpak.com/?component=video&task=view&id=EPzryPkHSZQ

In my hallucination
I saw my beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel

I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
And I was the spirit of love
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow

I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my love says:

Look at me and hear me
Because I am here
Just for that

I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl

I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you

Oh sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I, too, have been covered with thorns

Khayyam

می نوش که عمر جاودانی اینست
خود حاصلت از دور جوانی اینست
هنگام گل و باده و یاران سرمست

خوش باش دمی که زندگانی اینست
