I’m As Mad As Hell! [Video]

One of my student’s shared this video on Facebook, and this is from an old English movie called Network (1976). It really inspired me, so I thought I’d paste it on my blog for all the people to realize what the traditional media is doing to us. We need such a revolution for our country and we need to get up and bring that change ourselves rather than sitting on our seats and expecting the corrupt politicians and the so called higher authorities to do something about it! Long Live Pakistan!

Check out the video below and share it if you get what I am talking about!

Disability Campaign: We Dont Need Your Pity! We Need Respect!

Since I had a chance to take a PR (Public Relation) course in the summers in order to complete the course count for my MBA, we had to make a PR video campaign as our project. We were a group of a good 8 to 9 people and had to come up with a campaign, through which we can create awareness in SZABIST for disabled students. At present SZABIST does not have a wheel chair friendly environment, and hence we had to focus on creating awareness within SZABIST and then drive a change. Because we were targeting an internal audience, we made the following clips on a few assumptions. The tagline we used in order to keep synergy among all our videos was “We dont need your pity! We need respect!” …  I’m starring (=P) in the first video, but this was discarded, as I assume, the teacher thought I was the only one who worked. But oh well.. do check the following clips and give your feedback…

The Change

Why does everything seems so weird? Why am I being so unnatural? What is going wrong? Why are there butterflies in my stomach? Is everthing meant to be how it is? What is happening to me? What am I trying to hide? What am I trying to fabricate myself? Was I the same since ever? Where am I going? I dont know! I’m just confused… I can’t say what is happening to me!

Maybe I am transforming into someone I used to be! But I don’t want to be someone who suffered so much… Maybe I fabricate my actual image of what I am… or maybe have I transformed into a completely different being! I was never so dark! I was never so dull! I was never aggressive! I was never hot tempered! I was never anyone who, ever wanted to be bad! I just dont know what has happened to me. Maybe the bad things that I faced, led me to become completely different, not because I wanted to be that way. But because, I was scared of of getting hurt! I was scared whenever I thought of becoming neglected! And then maybe I decided to neglect everyone my ownself…

I dont know whether it was a right decision. But what could I have done. Its just the weird thinking process that I have. I hold it responsible for whoever I am. I am not someone who is not thankful to God of whatever he possesses. I am very thankful, and would always be. And I am not hungry or greedy for somethings that people usually run for. I just want to achieve something that no common man has. And I know I can do it! But not until I reshape myself completely. I often see things going strangely for me, but I have to be someone who accepts them as they are. I accept my mistakes as well. I know at times things mainly go wrong coz of a person’s own mishaps.

It was today, the 27th day of January of the year 2006, that someone unintentionally made me realize where I stand. I am extremely thankful to that person for showing me my image in the mirror and breaking it for me. That person might not even know what that has done to me. But from today … I start … the process of Re-transforming myself, my image, my thinking, and … my fate!
