Q: 1Tell me five
words that defines your personality?
A: Punctual, hard
work, Active, Sincere, Confident.
Q: 2 what is your educational and professional background?
A: I am a columnist and writer as well. I have been writing
column on social and culture issue, as a writer I write short stories in Sindhi
and poems in Urdu respectively. I also associated with teaching as soon I
completed Master in Philosophy; I started teaching in Philosophy University. I
also did Master in Physics and my thesis was on “Globalization of Jihad”.
Beside all these, I am researcher as well and I do research since eighth years
on several subjects. After this, one of my researches was on Phakhtunkhuwa
Society, I studied, “what is the perception of pakhtoons on Talibanization”? Next research, which I thought important, is
about “Research on Islamic Culture”. For this purpose, I learnt Arabic
language. I just examine religious TV channels that how they portraying Islam? And
how Talibanization and extremism have been increased? Are these channels contributing Islam
positively? Have their speeches been made to support? What is the concept of humanity for them or
How they taken Non-Muslims? All these question are included in my research. Then,
I target my research on media. Now I back to Sindh and here I am doing my PhD
from Karachi University in philosophy; my subject is “Nationalism”. In
investigative journalism, currently, I am doing research on karokari and I am
doing this work with the help of supportive Police. Beside I will do research
on “transgender” in Hyderabad and also on “Urdu Language” that we mixed or
replaced some words of Urdu in to English during conversation. Further, I also
did short courses on Persian and German language. This is my total introduction
about educational and professional background.
Q: 3 what are you doing currently?
A: Actually I am a consultant. This is different kind of
job; simply I can say that I am “Head of Project Evaluator”. I do not work consistently
because of my PhD, therefore, the short term consul ties is much easier for me.
I just connected to INGO’s, the International Organization, where I am working
with an “International Firm” and the organization always higher me whenever
work relates to Pakistan which is highly paid. The job of INGO’s is to discover
lot of things like they launched so many projects on which they work; they also
funded local organization as well as other INGO’s too. I have got 2 to 3
assignments in one year and the main work is to evaluate and research on that
assignments.
Q: 4 Do you have any eminent idea that enthusiast you to
complete it in upcoming five years?
A: There are two tasks which I like most; one is my thesis
work and other belongs to my literal life.
I read and write regarding to literary life and I have my own stories
and poetries on it. This is very delicate and interesting subject for me. But
second one is quite tough, like I doing work on “Nationalism” and I searching, how
Sindh can live peacefully with diverse ethnic group in Pakistani Nationalism?
And as soon as possible I will finish my thesis work in July 2015. In my PhD thesis, I will try to find out the
outcome, how the cosmopolitan Sindh can follow the same path? Previously, I have read many books of
histories and I just conclude one thing about parties, belongs to different
ethnic groups that they need some motivational speech and guidance over this
thing through which these people probably comes closest to each other.
Q: 5 what is your philosophy of teaching?
A: My philosophy about teaching is that it should be very
interactive. Teaching is a hypothetical skills and it means “art of teaching”. So,
it is only possible by seriously involvement of teacher and student as well. Understanding
between student and teacher will create a good environment in class; eventually
the student will give proper attention to its subject, over and above, they
will attend class sincerely and sincerely.
Q: 6 which performance make teacher good?
A: Importantly, the teacher needs to make student easy in
class, certainly this will enhance the process of learning. Some teacher has
generated such environment in class that student remain repealed to ask any question.
So teacher should give them opportunities to share their ideas and opinions in
their mind. Student ought to ask a question to its teacher without any
hesitation. Mostly students showed an unserious attitude to teacher, during lecture.
If I am teacher and I have to give lecture suppose on media ethics so first I
give 2 to 3 articles on it. Next day, I allow my students to ask question where
they feel complication and discus it in class to clear their confusion. This method will absolutely increase interest
of student towards subject and things always remain in their mind.
Q: 8 what is your greatest strength?
A: My greatest strength is all my trust and creative power.
I have lot of writing work and yet I am working on dialogue of philosophy which
is like a short novel so I feel that it is also greatest strong point. Further,
I am planning that in future I introduce philosophy as compulsory subject.
Student of any field must aware from this subject because if they will learn
pure philosophy, histomology and Meta physics so their work definitely
different from others. Likewise, it is very beneficial for every media person
in their professional life. Philosophy is a subject that helps out media person
or journalist to easily understand politics while it tells different ideas and
rules that person can easily get the story from depth. And this is what which
makes person different from other journalist. So I think philosophy is also a
thing that increased liveliness in me and my work as well.
Q: 9 Describe a typical period of your student life and how
you handled the situation?
A: I thought that there was a lack of career counseling
opportunities when I was in college so being a student I get bored n those
days. But when I reached in universities there is a permanent situation for
every girl. The only challenges and problems that tolerate females specially relates
to mind-set of male. Therefore, girls have needed to handle the situation very
smartly. At this stage it is necessary for female to understand the attitude
and deeds of guy, if someone gives you a special favor and attention so you
haven’t take it and for all, you have to be very diplomatic.
Q: 10How you make your place in practical field?
A: It is not a difficult task if you are hard worker. It is
very simple and easy if you are knowledgeable, hardworking person and sincere
with your work. Now, it is up to you that what do you choose for yourself and
how much labor you have? It is very important to enter in practical life.
Q: 11 which thing entered and been busy you in different
line of work?
A: There were dynamic activities which entered me in this
field. I was quite young when I came in
to politics, that time my was different and interesting. I was only 13 years
old when my brother took me in a protest which was on “KALABHAG DAM”. And my
interest began to increase from here but my brother told me that you would
teach women after reading the books then he engaged ne in to education. My
brother gave me different literature books and these books have busy me in my
mission which helped me very much in intellectual development. But I joined one
party at young age and being biased I left it in 18 years old, after this I did
not join any party but still interested in politics.
Q: 12 How could you manage a lot of things very efficiently?
A: I can easily perform my every task which I decided to do
in a day because I m very punctual of my time and I have been very active about
my work.
Q: 13 what rule the media should be followed in term of
society?
A: Journalist is to be very objective because they are the
representative of society; therefore, they have to guide people in an efficient
and ethical way, they need to follow rules properly follow the ethics in their
work as well.
