“Turn to page three hundred and eight in your excel books”, Said the teacher. What? Shouted the boys on the left. You promised us it was prac today? This is bullshit! A general giggle erupted across the classroom. I felt sorry for the teacher as she and I both knew she was in for an hour of torture. “We only have practical classes once a week, you know that” she said hesitantly.

I didn’t see why they liked teasing her; but I still didn’t tell them off.…

Mound of the Dead; English pronunciation: /moʊˌhɛn.dʒoʊ ˈdɑː.roʊ/), is an archeological site in the province of Sindh, Pakistan.

I, Ali, joined CVS Caremark project at TCS-Lahore in November after a successful stint at Aviva in TCS-Islamabad, where I had worked as a trainee. I had always wanted to go back to my hometown and live with my parents and when I got a transfer to Lahore I didn’t waste a single moment in saying yes to the new project and heading towards Lahore. Many of my friends were also moving out from Islamabad at the same time which only made my decision easier. I felt that Caremark offered better career prospects, as it was a new project and we were offered to work on the current technologies that were in demand in the market. I was sure I would excel in my new position at Caremark, just as I had done in my old job at Aviva.…
