Ah memories! :D

That is considered a good omen here on PDF.

Must mean I am DEAD then!

Yes, unfortunately.

Now, it is time to face the real and ugly world out there.

Ain't that the truth!

That omen didn't help me much. Perhaps I can't play the preemption game as well as some other nerds.

But you still are among 'most respectable Indian members on PDF' for some. That is a good start.

Ask VCheng, he will tell you more about how it feels like to be on somebody's good list.

I have NOT A CLUE what you mean by that!

Oh well! then tell us how does it feels like to be on nobody's good list

 

[VCheng]

Actually, I don't keep, or care, about anyone's lists!

PS: And why would you, or anyone, be interested in what it feels like from my point of view?

Just wanted to share your grief. This was the whole point of opening this thread after all.

Hehehehehehehehe!

So you think I am grieving?! Splendid!


=======================================

Actually, you might have missed this post of mine that gives the real purpose of this thread in PDF's own words in italics:

Well, as long as this thread meets the Forum rules, it should stay opne, I guess.

"The forum is made to get yourself familiar with other members, and create friends which would help us in creating a friendly community."

I feel more like a target than a member of friendly community, but I still have some time left to try to change that.

 

[Awesome]

So now lets sit and decode your "masla"

Maybe as a first step, lets not repeat "I'm a target" so many times. Sometimes I feel you have the "aa bail mujhe maar", syndrome going on. If you seek acceptance or less non-conformity from the "community", perhaps you should first try to show some acceptance and some conformity with the community. Being "baoo log", will always end you up disconnected.

Hey I'm several decades your jr in life experience. I shouldn't have to tell you how to socialize in a global village with all sorts of people.

Something from a few years ago that I'm reminded of

"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth." John F. Kennedy

Two other things: I have never been, nor will I ever be, a "baoo". And the syndrome is that you mention is not a recognized entity, at least not yet.

 

[Awesome]

There is another saying one you may be duty bound to if your allegiance lies to it as well...

"Kuwat-e-Akhuwat-e-Awaam".

If your revolutions cannot bring any good... Perhaps its time for some introspection. A radical and an extremist can be found in both the spectrum of political inclinations. A conservative or a liberal, who can't adjust to the situation, are both equally useless and unacceptable to society - at least for their political inclinations.

Stephen Covey points our very simplistically "Keep the main thing, the main thing. Always."

He does that while illustrating a point on "Put first things first". What's your first thing (in PDF context), V?

Well said!

Believe it or not, the first thing that brought me, and indeed has kept me here (so far), is Pakistan and its people. I mean it.

The rest I guess, including this thread, is getting to know one another better!

For those who are still curious for whatever reason, here is one of my old PMs, with only a few details removed:



What was the result?

I lost the TT election UNANIMOUSLY.

As Long as fatman 17 is chairman of TT---it will sink----I am surprised how he has kept his place----that man has not posted a single original article of his own for the years he has been here----.

Even Vice chairman Araz---a very good person----hardly ever participates----so many other think tank members have no original posts --- why are they there----.

Webby----Asim,

You complain about how pakistan is run---how incompetent the politicians are----you want them fired---well how about this board-----the THINK TANK ---- you have created something that does nothing----has no leadership role from any single TT member---what are you guys thinking----.

You have only two people with real corporate experience NIAZ / PSHAMIM---but they retired a long time ago----who do you have here that has any management or coroprate experience abroad---in europe or in usa.

Is there any diversity in the TT anymore since I left----or brown nosing the chairman is the only way to go----. Secondly---why was the chairman re-elcted after 2 years---he served his 2 year term---why was a chance not given to someone else to lead----my men---you can't even lead this board---you can't even take the intiative to fix leadership issues on this forum----and you complain about fixing the nation. You had the oppurtunity to seek new ideas and you scre-wed it up again.

I would like to see one post---an original article----from either the Chairman or the Vice Chairman on this board.


Araz----you really disappointed me----by taking this position----you have done nothing to progress this board---was it a matter of ego to portray yourself as vice chairperson of this board----you feel good now for doing nothing----.

VCHENG-----if I was in there---you would have had my vote and I would have fought for you---.

I do not know the history here; I only have tried to improve things seen from my point of view, that is all.
