Sometimes, I trust my notes more than the text-- since I've simplified it to my "brain-language". lol<br />JazakAllah and may Allah SWT increase you and accept your efforts!

I just feel if people worldwide are able to pick up other not so useful qualities of the West (dressing, style, attitude to an extent etc) then why not the positives? This is why there has been development in the West, because of how organized things are. I remember in UAE and Malaysia we had to run around the whole city sometimes to get one job done. <br /><br />Not being ethnocentric here. We should follow good qualities from all different cultures - the jazba of Pakistanis to help each other, the humbleness of the Malays, the systematic style of the Americans, hardworking nature of Indians, and generosity of the Emiratis :)Seher | Simply in Controlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419694199901685481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849290755688033350.post-73481919253285883082011-01-31T08:52:35.695-08:002011-01-31T08:52:35.695-08:00basically the above post was supposed to come stra...basically the above post was supposed to come straight after the first one..just realized I hadn't posted it yet..<br /><br />I personally believe that we should be more punctual in Pakistan, and the trend is changing slowly and gradually. The fact of the matter is that depending on situation to situation it changes, if its a business transaction then trust me people are on time, but as far as weddings are concerned, ppl choose to be fashionably late. However, Ive noticed that weddings in halls tend to finish up earlier. As far as dishonesty is concerned, I guess that varies, as if ure invited to attend a certain function and it is supposed to start at 9, then I guess its upto u when to turn up. Yes, if I have committed to a certain time then its incumbent that is should be followed, and alhamdolillah majority of the people seem to be following it depending on the relationship and reason for the meeting. Hope I am making sense here!Fluorescencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030442943750056532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849290755688033350.post-17156791733558719582011-01-31T08:47:50.537-08:002011-01-31T08:47:50.537-08:00Ive explained 2 contrasting situations!...wish we ...Ive explained 2 contrasting situations!...wish we were all organized...but with so much inconsistency and unpredictability in one's surroundings, its impossible to remain on track.

I understand that the concept of punctuality differs from culture to culture, but we need to look at it firstly from the point of view of prayers (scheduling), and secondly, isn't it a form of dishonesty? That's how I tend to see it - you are saying one thing but you mean something else. We are going to be held accountable for everything, and this is just one form of saying something that you don't mean. Cultures can change - if India and Pakistan are becoming so Westernized in terms of TV and music, then this change can occur too. <br /><br />I'm not bashing Pakistan in particular, you know I love my motherland :) We should just strive to take the best of all cultures and do away with what is not right.Seher | Simply in Controlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09419694199901685481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1849290755688033350.post-67222243460278750782011-01-31T06:36:38.493-08:002011-01-31T06:36:38.493-08:00so...my exams just ended! m not drifting, but its ...so...my exams just ended! m not drifting, but its a different way to look at it. External factors play an important role in defining one's concept of time. I believe timeliness has a lot to do with with one's surroundings rather than a personal trait. For instance, Pakistanis living abroad have a more punctual concept than the same Pakistanis living in Pakistan or communicating with Pakistanis. In Comparative Management, we studied that people in the Middle East also consider time to be relative and not absolute, where the + - 3 hours was considered a cultural norm rather than a personal trait.Fluorescencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06030442943750056532noreply@blogger.com
