The concept of Human Rights is so diverse that its presence can be felt in every human activity that comes across. Understanding this concept has remained rather very tempting for theorists of Human Rights. Several attempts to define this concept in form of scholastic work can be found in body knowledge of Human rights and one such commendable attempt is this book titled ‘Rethinking Human Rights for the New Millennium’ by A. Belden Fields. Professor Fields is a seasoned Political Scientist and Emeritus Professor of Political Science at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, US.

I am tired and still wanted to write all this. These days writing a post for my blog is no less than a great privilege (ayashe) for me because it so busy and hectic with me during my training at Civil Services Academy. In past, I traveled from subjective posts to objective write ups but my busy schedule has taken me to task again and having thought a good deal, I am returning back to subjective blogging again.

How come it is possible that rock and pop music lovers are not aware of Beatles. They were from Liverpool, England their band off course Beatles was formed in 1960. During their career, the group primarily consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). To me and many of their lover, they were the trend setters that’s why they left behind the legacy, the beatles legacy though they dismantled some time latter but still they were and are the voice of century.

Its been quite sometime, we haven’t seen him. Where is he, lost somewhere? We miss him alot but we have not trace. Can anybody let us know about his where abouts? Is there any one who can tell us precisely to where we can find him. We want to know about reasons of his absence. We are worried and we demand that he should speak out else he will be responsible for anything that is a direct or indirect consequence of his absence. Is he O.K? He is doing fine or not. We miss Dr. Farrukh…..

The title of this post is never welcome at least to a Pakistani. Same goes with me, when I first read it. This title ‘Twelve steps to shock and awe Pakistan’s economy’ is taken from of an article by an Indian professor of finance and control working at Indian Institute of Management - Bangalore. In this article the author has tried to put some recommendation for the current Indian regime to shock and awe Pakistan’s Economy. To me appear more an strategy document against Pakistan then a simple article.

This post is meant to introduce you to The Competitive Examination Preparation (CEP) Forum launched recently to help those who want to prepare for CSS and other competitive Examination in Pakistan.
Having passed Central Superior Services (CSS) Examination Pakistan, I feel that, simply studying is not enough. We need to understand the art of passing it and it is only possible when one has a guide who can provide him with timely advice on preparation related issues. For that matter, I happened to start a series of advice columns that received a very encouraging response by my readers and it kept me motivated to continue writing. To me, this was not enough. I always wanted to go for a better option but limited time never allowed me to run an extra mile. The things went on as such until Prometheus came up with idea of starting a CSS related forum. I was impressed with his work plan and motivation so agreed to help him out with all my heart and soul. Time proved that Prometheus was serious when he discussed this idea with me so with his firm determination he has started this Forum named “The Competitive Exams Preparation (CEP) Forum”. The Competitive Exams Preparation Forum aka The CEP Forum at the moment is passing through its beta but it has already a good collection of material on almost everything related to Competitive Exams Preparation. In this post I will provide you a detailed insight.
