Mosharraf Zaidi and the Uzbek

this week in Pakistan’s business and economics twitterverse

The week was dominated by Prime Minister Imran Khan claiming that he knows Uzbekistan more than the Uzbeks, and the moment proving to be another foot-inmouth instance despite the best attempts of Mosharraf Zaidi and others of the same ilk to defend the Prime Minister. Ariba Shahid brings you memes, advice, and a lot more in this week’s social media roundup from Pakistan’s business and economics twitterverse.

You guys may not relate to this one but as journalists we do. The number of times I’ve walked in to interview someone and seen myself outnumbered. My personal favorite was when a bank had 6 people from their team and it was just me. And no, some of them aren’t quiet.

It is very difficult to stay politically correct on the internet. There will always be someone that can find a flaw in your statement or argument. Should that stop you from sharing, no! Tell the world you hate oranges if you want. Who cares? Let a few people shake. Of course, we would suggest doing things like fact checking and making sure your math is right, because otherwise you can have egg on your face (figuratively). Of course, if it is something subjective like you liking literal egg on your face for whatever weird skincare reason please feel free to share with the world. Life is too short to worry about twitter feuds. Besides, for the current generation, twitter fights will be the stories to tell the grandkids

It is inspiring to see someone hard at work and trying their best to achieve a goal they have set out for themselves. One such example is Mosharraf Zaidi, who has since 2018 and even before been trying incredibly hard to land some sort of advisory position in the government. Mr Zaidi looks on with starry eyes as Moeed Yusuf embaraces himself in front of everyone, and wishes that could be him. We are sorry to inform Mr Zaidi that he probably isn’t going to get one. We aren’t saying he isn’t smart enough, or capable enough to get there because the people already serving in some sort of advisory capacity to the government do not really inspire confidence. However, it is just that desperation is not a good colour on anyone. However, we applaud Mr Zaidi for continuing to try despite his consistent failures. This kind of spirit is always inspiring. Keep going Mosharraf, never stop and never let anyone tell you your dreams are stupid. Not even us. {Editor’s note: This is a rare but necessary addition to this weekly list by the editorial team, and not brought to you by our reporter}

For the delivery boys

Delivery boys struggle to make ends meet despite working a long tiring job delivering things from one end of town to the other. They often carry cash around which is also unsafe keeping in mind the mugging incidents. Locating houses and offices is also not always easy considering the inaccuracy of some google map locations. They’re then made to spend their own mobile credit reducing the money they’re saving from their job even more. They need our voice. Fighting over talent is no fun. It also makes it difficult to retain them over the long run. While universities have added programs and increased their batch sizes, the quality of these grads remains an issue. In house training at this point is your best bet. Perhaps we are moving back to the old days, where a liberal arts major could very easily go and work for a bank. It might not be the worst idea for employers to not expect much from universities. The modus operandi should be as long as you’ve studied something and are a hard worker, come on board and learn on the job. The only problem is, with tech jobs, you can’t quite learn very quickly on the job at the very least.

Life imitating art

Climate change is real. Life imitating scary art is also very much a possibility. With these extremely devastating rains in Germany, we can’t help but think of the destruction we’d face if it happened in Pakistan. May we all stay safe. It is unfortunate how often we have to rely on miracles, divine intervention, and the kindness of strangers for our most basic safety, but that is where we are as a nation. Every year on the brink of countless people being swept away forever as part of the monsoon season.
