Opening Ceremony..

- Audre Lorde
It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences.

World Scout Jamboree, a great platform to express cultures, meet people, share love, help others, learn from different people, share the experiences, and thats all are not enough to express such a event, in fact its much more than these words which cant express it.

On 28th July 2011, the Jamboree Staff held the Opening ceremony at 2100 hrs sharp. Spot Lights, Flash lights, Parking Lights, Colors all around, People Every where, Shock Waves from the Speakers, Camera's all around and The Most Important.. the Participants of the WSJ 2011..

Started off with the Cheif Scout of the UK, the Man who hosted the Man V/S the Animal at the Discovery Channel.. He handed the Flag to the Swedish Scout. the whole crowd was so excited, curious, enjoying such a great moment..

The Swedish People shared their history since they are awared off, beside this i got to know that first FREEDOM OF PRESS was introduced in the sweden.. :)

The great performances with the Fires made the environment more curious, excited and interesting. The 6 People, playing with the fires, even don't think of their lives and the losses they could have, just to entertain people. Thats what we call it marvelous, superb, no words to express furher

After this, some musical performances rocked the people and make them to Stand and Dance.. It Was so convincing that even the people sitting on the chair stood up to Dance with the Other People,

Adding Sauce to the food were the singers and the band, who rocked the whole crown on their beats, jamboree's official song, changing the world... the people simply started Dancing stood up like concert.. lightening all around, flashes all around, open sky, 178 different cultures, 40000 People, at the one places is so great to here, but to see is the different experience and thats what I'll remember always in my life.. :)

P.S.: Photos would be uploaded when i get time to transfer :P

Journey to FAST - NU

Founded By BCCI, Fast is the top most university in Pakistan for IT, FAST (Foundation for Advancement in Science and Technology) - NUCES (National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences) Located on National Highway(Karachi Campus), Near Bhains Colony, Shah Faisal Town. It has a long way from The City. and about 1.5 Hour Drive from My Home..

There My Friends and I have aptitude for BS (Computer Science), for which we all were preparing since our Intermediate Examination was over and it was the day for which we were waiting for. Reporting time for the BS Aptitude was at 2:30, so we decided to meet at 1:00 PM sharp at Danish's home, we 4, gathered in the colony and was looking for the bus or the rickshaw. As the CNG Stations were closed for 3 days, so it was unavailable and due to city conditions, public transporters were also not running their vehicle. 3 days of shortage was too bad for the people of karachi.

From Karimabad, we taken 4-L Bus and gone to Liaqatabad 10 No. there we were waiting for D-1 through which we could reach FAST. we stand there for 10 minutes, but could not find any bus. Last option was the rickshaw, which agreed on Rs. 300.

The man was running his rickshaw on the patrol as all the CNG pumps were closed.. !!, He took us from dalmia and through mellanium mall we were on the national highway by passing quaidabad flyover and airport (star gate). We thanked god for reaching safely just 2 minutes before :P

Socialization

Surprises, Adventure, Excitement, Curiosity had been the core part of the Scouting, but Socializing is the another one which I think is the most important. Facebook, Twitter, Orkut, Hi5 and much more

The mission of Scouting is to built a better world, and for that we need to contact people.. make our friends, help each other .. in the life there comes a time when you meet suddenly a old school friend and he helps you in some sort of work or you helps him, so everyday many people goes around you, do we even know 5% of them?

Scouting is the major key in grooming the human personality, I don't know that this socializing will help further in scouting, but the thing I know is that it will work in my professional life. :)

My experience about the Socializing is just after my teacher shared with me its importance.. Yesterday it was my aptitude in FAST-NUCES which is located on the Bhains Colony, National Highway and upto there only 1 Public Bus goes and i.e. D-1 unfortunately, That bus wasn't on the road due to the demonstrations of the transport contractors. Our friend, which we made just 2 hours ago, just before the aptitude helped us. gave us lift to Shahrah-e-Faisal Then after that we made our way.. !!
