A WEEK OF WORD WARS
From the Blog sohaibalvi A WEEK OF WORD WARS by Sohaib Alvi It was during the last World Cup that Shoaib Akhtar acrimoniously exited his contentious cricket career, choosing to speak to the media in Colombo without the knowledge of his management and without much mincing his words. Now he has chosen to do so again this time on a stage that is known for throwing insults: Comedy Nights with Kapil. Which one has been more inappropriate is up for contention but while the first one was specific to cricketing issues this time he has chosen to mock at a personal level. One of his targets has been Ijaz Butt who was the chairman of PCB when Shoaib was, according to himself, unfairly sidelined from the Pakistan team in the middle of the 2011 World Cup and missed his much desired farewell in the semi final at Mopakistanblogs.blogspot.comRead Full Post

The Week in Review #9: From Dead-End Job to Uber Billionaire
From the Blog usmansheikh I picked up a pretty awesome book this weekend after reading through Ryan Holidays’ book “The Obstacle is the way“, it was Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. I have thoroughly enjoyed it so far and would definitely recommend it, especially to entrepreneurs reading this blog. The article of the week was an old one which resurfaced this week about the co-founder of Uber and how he hustled his way to join the company in it’s early days. From Dead-End Job to Uber Billionaire: Meet Ryan Graves The biggest takeaway is that we have to choose ourselves if we want to truly want to live our life. We do this by using our skills to solve large problems that exist in the world today. It is at that intersection that we will find out purpose and true calling.
