The record for the fastest paper

This mid-term Amir Rizvi is the proud holder for hosting the fastest paper first. He occupies the first with two entries namely Supply Chain Management and Customer Relationship Management, both MIS electives. the papers reported ended on average within fifteen minutes, with a few outliers here and there.

The second place goes to Ahmed Ali Shah for Calculus, whose paper reportedly finished in half an hour, with the tinkering and checking taking max time to an hour.

Congratulations to both! We are very proud of you

Suspension is now named as Expulsion

Four suspensions or so called expulsions in the last week. both were appropriately explained in the notices.

the first one was from MBA 4, two students were expelled for taking pictures of a teacher . the one who took pictures for a year and the other one, whose cell it was for a week.

the second expulsion from BBA 2 sec 2, the CR and another student were expelled since they wanted to go to a concert and were tryin to shift the classes but when the teachers declined they misinformed the class. (according to the notice board) i think this certain punishment was a bit severe.

and i still cant comprehend why the notice says Expulsion notice and not suspension notice.

Update: The concert was FESF child benefit concert and the new director has declined to reverse the decision, saying that the committee is senior and that the decision stands.

We as students still feel that the decision is harsh.

Two Holidays

Well, the public announcement regarding the two holidays is pretty baffling to me. If you look at it from a broader perspective it really screws up the whole time table before the hourlies. Although holidays are a welcome retreat from the schedule we entail but they do have the baggage of extra classes and with the construction taking place, the lack of rooms and all it pretty much makes it all hassle some for both the office staff and the students. Am sure teachers are rushing to cover up on the required classes before the second term exam whose schedule was announced like a week before the exam, which was surprisingly fast

Main Campus Beach Trip

The main campus beach trip is scheduled for tomorrow. The students are requested to reach the city campus by 9:00 a.m. sharp. It’s a surprise where we are going but it’s definitely not Gadani as one of the posters clarified! Turn up tomorrow and find out what it is!:)

Students can only have ten days after the second term exam to withdraw from the course, according to a notice on the notice board.

there should be an notice for the teachers as well to give the results within a week so that students can make up their mind. We still have yet to receive results concerning the first term for a subject.

Basant Bake Sale

11th of March saw a beautiful day at the Main Campus. With the colorful, traditional dress code and the yummy food collected by CWS for the bake sale, the day was scheduled to be the annual spring celebration. The cafeteria was done in bright in colors with kites, balloons and streamers.

I have to hand it to the decoration committee – they did a great job. The chunri hung over the door and the kites spelling out “Basant Bake Sale” gave the whole cafeteria a very basant atmosphere. The girls were dressed in reds, yellows and greens and the guys in kameez shalwar. Since early morning, there was an excited air with all the CWS people running around to get things ready for break time.

Around twelve o’clock, things really took a turn as the weather decided to join the celebration. Wind blew in our faces and in an hour or so, the sound of thunder accompanied the sound of the loud bhangra music. There was plenty of food for everyone which does not in any way signify a lack of interest but merely that the CWS had prepared well.

The haleem was absolutely mouth-watering, the chaat even better. At break, the gola ganda guy popped up and was the hit of the day. However, this writer found the most scrumptious item on the CWS menu to be the ice-cream with the yummy cake. The writer is least concerned with the name of this dessert but what the writer does know is that the cake absolutely melted in the writer’s mouth and the icecream was the cherry on top of this heavenly combination of vanilla, chocolate cake, marie biscuit and almonds.

It was a delightful morning and the rain did nothing to dampen the students’ moods. If anything, it added to the festive atmosphere and made the whole morning more enjoyable. The bake sale was a success and I just hope that the CWS collected the funds it needed.
