Life is meaningful, only when one wishes to make it. We are creatures of time and we’ll wither away in it. The little moments of joy we find and create are all that will live with us.Archive for MIR
Daman mai Meray [In my Embrace]
Nazaara-e-Khauf main aap khud ulfat kay taray aa kar bikhrain hain, daman mai meray
{ In the midst of fear, the stars of passion have willfully come and fallen in my embrace }
Jabeen jal afroz hai, dilkash nazaray aap khud aa kar nikhrain hain, daman mai meray
{ My head is endowed with blissfull dew, for wondrous visions have willfully come and bloomed in my embrace }
Tera husna-e-jamal, aur husn-e-shahanai – dilafroz hai aik zamanay bhar kay liyay
{ Your beautiful demeanor and your glorious regale is heartfelt for the whole of humanity }
Teri yadon kay meethay saayee aap khud aa kar nikhrain hain, daman mai meray
{ Fragments of your sweet memories have willfully come and bloomed in my embrace }
Sama-e-Shaukh kay unwanon main chupi hai haqueeqat meray us haseen dost ki
{ The secret of my most beautiful friend lies in the parables of the pages of desire }
Jabeen jis ki munawar, kashish aankhoom main, aur ailk haseen shooukh ki see jiski
{ One whos head is auric and haloed, eyes mystified and smile endowed with pleasures unknown }
Hai jis ka dil purnoon mauhabat ki haseen jheel pay chand kay methay sayee kay jasay
{ One whos heart is luminescent with the sweet-scented lunar shade upon the lake of pure passion }
Teri ulfat kay methay sayee, aap khud aa kar bikhrain hain daman main meray
{ The shades of your sweet love have willfully come and dispersed in my embrace }
Meray doost – zara to jhank appni shakhsiat kay pehlooyn may faqat – kabhee
{ Wonder and ponder a little upon your personality’s folds – My dearest friend }
Teri rooh kay tootay sitaray aap khud aa kay simntain hain daman say meray
{ Your wounded soul’s broken shimmers have willfully come and clung on to my embrace }
Main usi Um-e-shaukh kay haseen kirdaroon ka talib hoon faqat
{ I am only eager and in awe of the sight of that beautiful apsara }
Taranum jis ki zeenat, ulfat jis ka husan aur zouq apsaroon kay jaisa
{ One who has melody as demeanor, passion as beauty and choices of the ancient fairies of far }
Khuda ka noor hai dil ki rutoon main – mai aur meray doost mil kar
{ The love of GOD lies in our hearts together as one }
Khuda janee, kya khabar hai kab yeh dilrang nazaray aa kar nikhrain gain daman main meray
{ Who knows when GOD will will these visions to come and willfully bloom in my embrace }
Kab banay gi haqeeqat meray is zaath ki zeenat, meri yeh haseen soonch
{ When this beautiful thought will form unto its beautiful truth }
Dua hai ab to – kay app khudh miljayeen meray dilrang sitaray daman say teray
{ I pray, that my stars may now come and willfully fall in your sweet embrace }
Dedicated to Um

Re-Thinking Businesses
An introductory talk given at Rotary on Dec 15, 2010, highlighting my professional experiences and aims for the future.
The talk started with a note of thanks to the members present.
Talk~
I have been asked for a small talk upon my work and I have a limited time to do that… therefore I will try and keep it as focused as possible.
With a view to this opportunity I asked that it should be titled “Re-Thinking Businesses” for that is what I pursue as a profession for myself.
The book I have put forth for reference towards my ideas is a very acclaimed manifesto written by Mr. Tom Peters in 1982. It is titled, “In Search of Excellence”.
Since then it has been used for value building within innumerable organizations in the United States and now serves as a guideline for businesses the world over.
For my talk, I would like to lay a Thought Foundation by providing my audience with three keywords to keep in mind.
The first is VALUE, the second is VALUE and the third is VALUE!
It is all about VALUE.
Businesses are about VALUE and life is about VALUE.
VALUE is the strongest underpinning that drives our personal and professional ambitions.
VALUE is a commodity and VALUE is a service.
VALUE is what I am happy with when I get it and VALUE is what others are happy with when I provide it.
VALUE is all there is to it!
My professional chronology stems from the year 2000.
It is a span of 10+ years of engagement as a technologist growing into an Analyst.
My studies are grounded in “Management Information Systems” where I acquired some milestones with a number of significant projects over the years.
2001 ~ 2004
An online brokerage system connected with the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for a hedge fund brokerage company in Hong Kong, long before online trading was introduced as a main-stream.
2005 ~ 2006
An analytics and statistical evaluation system for a company called BeyondROI, which serves some of the major names in Fortune 500/ 1000.
2006 ~ 2008
I served in a role as project manager for AAA Partnership, a construction projects management company, with some key initiatives for AAA ventures.
2008 ~ 2010
Business Process Re-Engineering, designing Standard Operating Procedures for “Operations & Maintenance” of Multinet Pakistan.
MIS applications developed for OPEX control, along with leading the MIS department itself.
2011 ~ onwards
My aim is to formulate “Mir & Associates” as a major business consultancy, with a portfolio offering of two things… “Business Process Re-Engineering” and “Business Intelligence” for our organizations in most all of the major verticals.
——-|
What is Re-Thinking Business all about?
In simple terms – It is about VALUE creation.
It is a method of renewed empowerment of businesses from top to bottom.
Examples of companies that have pursued this internationally and in Pakistan would be…
United States Postal Service
Canadian Post
APC
British Petroleum
Royal Dutch Shell
ING Group
VISA
World Bank
Amtrack
The United Nations
US Air Force
IBM
Research in Motion
Siemens
British Airways
American Standards Company
Caterpillar
DuPont
Tetra Pak
In Pakistan… some notable names would be
The State Bank
Engro Group
Fauji Fertilizer
Shell Pakistan
… among the few that I know off!
——-|
Tom Peters highlighted some eight points in his book that stand valid for businesses as a guide since 1982.
1. A bias for action, active decision making.
2. Close to the customer.
3. Autonomy & Entrepreneurship.
4. Productivity through People.
5. Hands-on, Value driven.
6. Stick to the knitting. Stay with the business that you know.
7. Simple form, Lean staff.
8. Flexibility with centralized values.
My social services engagements include the initial setup and ground work for Karachi Relief Trust and a stint on water provisioning for the recent floods with a senior from the Acumen Fund.
Thank You.

Kausar
Zamana bazgasht main hai
kay hai meri dunya ajeeb se,
Yeh banda hai to bashar par reet-e-zindigi ajeeb se,
Kya isay gham hai kisi mahubat ka ya yeh ghafil hai mahubat kay jam say,
Rehta to hai dunya main yeh par dil main umeed khain aur ki se,
Zamanay bhar main hai is ka charcha, har shaks hota hai girvida is ki shanakht say,
Par yeh chalta nahin zamanay ki reet pay karta nahin faryad kabhi bhee,
Meri aqual aari hai is shaks ko samajhnay say ai mir – yeh banda bashar hai ya koi aur,
par meri dua aik azeez he ki se…
Ai Allah day day rahe-e-dunya main isay khushian jamal ki se,
Jo gham hai wo ghul jai na rahe koi khwaish adhoori se,
Jo hai aarzo taman ki wo mil jai dilal-e-be-taman ko,
Dunya ki raunaqoon main na khoi wo chain ko,
Miti banay sona aur aik nai subhay ho… lab-e-kausar kay nam ki
Amen

Pyas Bujhao | Clean drinking water for Pakistan flood victims using Life Saver Systems
APPEAL
To all who have been bestowed with the riches of ALLAH (GOD).
Do not wait to realize that you are being tested right now… the time of trials and tribulation on the people affected by the devastating floods of Pakistan is your chance to rid yourself of sins accumulated in your time to claim a better life for yourself.
GOD is trying you and is giving you a chance to mend your ways.
What we offer here is not a typical aid campaign but a solid – grounded – intelligent and practical solution to the rising misery for the 16 million displaced in the floods… for whom you will be responsible due to your inaction!
As you do, so you reap! What goes around, comes around… so beware – Its only a matter of time.
Take part in a chance to mend lives – life will not throw these chances to you when you’d wish for them. Wake Up.
———| Inventor: Michael Pritchard
Life Saver System has a revolutionary product that can solve world’s water problems caused due to unavailability of clean drinking water sources.
Michael Pritchard has invented an advanced filtration system that is cost-effective, simple and practical. It filters diseased, dirty water to clean and clear pure life without any gimmics.
Its 15 nm membrane, filters our the tiniest foreign element in water i.e. a virus at a size of 25nm due to which it can separate clean and clear water from filthy and diseased water sources.
See his convincing video on TED (See the movie)
Life Saver Jerry Cans can process 10,000 and 20,000 liters for a medium family for nearly 4 years and at this time is the best bet for clean and healthy water for the flood victims in Pakistan.
You can help if you CHOOSE to… if you desire to become a part of this history when the trials of some define the destiny of those in authority, capacity and might. ACT NOW!
Michael has 500 Jerry Cans ready to leave for Pakistan, if you choose to act up.
Contact me now, to donate as best as possible in your own unique capacities.
Seize this moment to cleanse yourself inside out and define your place in time:
