Energy Crisis and IPPs

  In the last 30 years, Pakistan has faced an epic energy crisis, and the government has fumbled spectacularly in trying to match supply with demand. For some mysterious reason, policymakers have completely ignored green energy options like hydro power, solar, and wind energy. It could be a lack of political will or just plain laziness of the ruling elite. Our politicians seem to be afflicted with a chronic case of "poor decision-making." They love quick fixes, no matter how expensive or impractical. Ironically, Pakistan is supposed to be a democracy, with leaders elected by the people. Yet, they craft policies that are completely out of touch with what the population needs. The topic of electricity tariffs has become the favorite subject of endless debates because, despite all the talk, the energy crisis remains as persistent as ever.  Not investing in green energy is almost criminal. Households can't afford fossil fuel energy, and to make matters worse, the cost per kil

The Great Book Of Nature

  Nature's Great Book has countless Chapters waiting to be discovered. As humans, our journey through this book begins the moment we open our eyes to this wonderful world. Let's dig into some of its most fascinating chapters. Gravity, for instance, is a standout chapter in this grand tome. Imagine if we could walk without gravity—impossible, right? We've been grounded long before Newton's apple fell, held by the invisible force that anchors us to the Earth. From biology, we learn about our five senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell, and taste. But don't forget the sixth sense—the Sense of Balance. Lose it, and we’d be at gravity’s mercy, unable to stand. Consider the Sun, another awesome chapter. It's the heart of our solar system, the only source of energy sustaining all life. Its heat and light evaporate ocean water, forming clouds that bring rain and snow, thanks to the ingenuity of nature that makes steam lighter than air. Then, there's the Moon, Earth

Debunk the Myth

  The famous and the universal belief is " Work hard and you will succeed" .  BUT  I think this is only a myth and needs a debunk.  Let’s do it. What is myth? Google definition..... “A myth is a traditional story, especially one concerning the early history of a people or explaining a natural or social phenomenon, and typically involving supernatural beings or events. ”  Myths are sometimes seen in the movies but have nothing to do with the realities of the real world we live in. You might have noticed that many of us don’t get tired while repeating the mantra that the key to success in any business, job or any of our objectives is to work really, really hard. But what does the expression “Work Hard” really means? At least I don’t know. Probably...... Work hard might refer to working for long hours. OR Work hard might mean to work under severe tension to do something which otherwise couldn’t be done. But My life experience has taught me that............ "

Industrial Revolution (Continues)...

  Industrial Revolution (IR1-IR2-IR3-IR-4) In my earlier post only the first industrial revolution was generally discussed. Let us discuss the detail of four stages of Industrial Revolution. First Industrial Revolution - IR1 (Year 1765): Mile Stone in the History of Mankind… Abraham Darby-I  (14 April 1677 – 5 May 1717, the first and best known of  several men of that name ), was a British  iron master  and  foundry-man . He lived in a small village called Coal Brook Dale in Shrophire County, England. Shrophire is called the cradle of industrial revolution because it was Abraham Darby who discovered how to melt iron ore using coke for heating. (Coal is converted to coke by heating without air). The First Revolution was driven by limited use of  steam engines ,  interchangeable parts  and  mass production and was largely water-powered (especially in the United States). Second Industrial Revolution – IR2   (Year 1870). Henry Bessemer in 1856 laid the milestone by inventi

HARNESS YOURSELF

  Mother Nature has been very kind to all His creatures. For instance, a bald eagle can spot its prey, the size of a rabbit three miles away, with its  huge  eyes.  Similarly each creature has been bestowed with specific capability like reptiles use various forms of locomotion to move from place to place but with the restriction that they cannot fly like birds.  You will be stunned to know that most fishes are  Ectothermic  ("cold-blooded"), allowing their body temperatures to vary according to the temperature of water they live in.  All such capabilities are  inborn and these wonderful creature use them unknowingly.   All the creatures have limited capabilities but that is not true for humans. We, the Homo-sapiens are bestowed with numerous characteristics, qualities, powers and capabilities that can be used simultaneously and intelligently.  We can think, hear, look, talk and balance ourselves while we are walking or running. The term “ Homo-Sapiens ” means “the wise huma
