Factors to consider

o most of us Facebook friendship is

fleeting and borderline meaningless.But that doesn't mean rejection andbetrayal don't sting when you areunfriended (which by the way, is not areal word It's something that stuck on,

just like Facebook itself!).Getting dumped is horrible, painful, andguaranteed to happen. And here's isSblog's fix on how to handle adevastating digital breakup.

It's possible you're really goddamnannoying on Facebook - lots of stupidshared "joke pictures," confrontationalpolitical statements, mundane check-

ins - in which case, who can blameanyone for unfriending you? You're aterrible friend. Friends should beinteresting. Why weren't you moreinteresting? You brought this uponyourself, and now everyone is runningaway from you. Start being better andyou'll start making friends. That's yourbest shot.But let's say you're just a regular guybeing cool on Facebook - posting theoccasional fun photo, insightful link,amusing status update, thoughtfulbirthday wishes. You manage your

Timeline like a pro! You're a goodperson, and a good Facebook Friend.

And, someone still unfriends you. Youhave reason to be offended. Whenfriendship means so, so precious little,taking the time to click enough toremove someone from your list of fakefriends is hugely insulting. You'rebeneath fake friendship. Someonedoesn't even want to see your namewritten down on an LCD screen. You'rerepulsive to them. Unfriending onFacebook is like being kicked out of the

cricket team just because you missedthat one catch! But, don't forget:

It's a normal, perfectly rational thingpeople do on Facebook all the time.

Most of your hundreds of Facebookfriends aren't actually your friends,because it's emotionally impossible fora single person to have hundreds off r iends s imul taneous ly . Be ingunfriended might be someone simplywaking up and recognizing theabsurdity Facebook thrusts us into.They're just attempting to rectify it, usingfeatures built into said social network.

And yet...We're all petty enough to care.

If it's someone you actually know afamily friend, friend of a friend, someperipheral talking blob - you probablyshouldn't make a fuss. Particularly, ifthey're connected to someone who isactually important in your life, it's best to

just let the affront slide.But some day, whenever the two of youmeet in person again, you'll briefly lockeyes. I know what you did, and youknow what you did. It's a moment of

mutual panic, guilt, and animus. That'llquickly subside, and you'll go about yourlives. Who knows, maybe you'll bothend up forgetting the whole thing. Youmight even friend one another again.

And so the cycle continues.

Or, if you feel like a fight

This part is fun. If you're not reallyworried what these people think about

VOICE OF KINNAIRD

After the success of Pink Rock and KC

Idol, the council of K.C staged the much

awaited Voice of Radio Kinnaird. This

was another milestone achieved by the

council. The student body immersed

themselves in the dazzling world of

music where their own fellows got a

chance to perform and showcase their

exemplary singing talents. It started off

with nerve cracking week of auditions

and recording at radio Kinnaird 97.6.

During the entire week every corner of

KC was echoing with instruments. You

could hear sounds of all types of music

being played.

Like any other competition few lucky girls

managed to squeeze themselves into

the finals. They got that great opportunity

of performing in front of some Junaid

Khan (Cal l The Band) , Gohar

Mumtaz(Jal) and Ali Aftab (of Begairat

Brigade). The event started with the line

"Stay Calm and Enjoy Music". Every

participant gave their best shot to toast

their victory but it ended up with Hafsah

Gillani taking the trophy. Hafsah is a

multi-talented girl, really good at guitars

and singing. The council worked really

hard to organize the event and did an

amazing job. (by mahrukh ghouri)

BuzzCampus

Earlier this summer, NCA, Rawalpindi

Campus hosted a welcome for the fresh

batch of students that arrived in this year.

Organized by veteran students the event

was packed with performances from all 5

batches. These included slots filled by

the skits society which flawlessly

depicted college culture and highlighted

memorable incidents that had occurred

during the term, as well as by the music

society who melodically captivated the

audience. Highlight of the evening was

definitely both the fashion show which

exhibited recycled "gaga-esque"

creations, modelled on fast paced beats

with choreographed segments in-

between, and the insanely well produced

play "Ali baba baki chor". Though an

adaptation of the folk story the 30 minute

long performance was original and well-timed with its comedy and punch lines, it

was not only well received with a standing

ovation by the entire student body, but

later produced to be performed for the

public at the national library auditorium.

Other performances included an electric

dance performance by the newly formed

dance society, Shutterbug. There were

also other dance performances, one of

which being a dramatic contemporary

piece.

A debating competition isn't asimportant for most people in ourcountry, as Pakistan vs. Australia T-20 tournament or Aisam-ul-HaqQureshi being in the semi-finals ofthe US Open. But for thoseinvolved in this great sport and art,it is of tremendous importance.Debating in Pakistan is not a mainstream event as such, but one that isrestricted to certain schools anduniversities throughout most

major cities. But, the DebatingSociety of Pakistan is trying tochange this one step at a time; andthey recently took a major leaptowards achieving this goal by

winning the Karl Popper DebatingChampionship (KPDC) in Leon,Mexico.The Karl Popper DebatingChampionship is one of the largesthigh school tournaments in the

world, which is a wing of the

International Debate EducationAssociation (IDEA). It bringstogether teams from all fivecontinents to debate on a mix of

prepared and impromptu motionsconnected to the topic of the YouthForum. The tournament featuressix preliminary rounds and a breakto octo-finals. The format of thecompetition is the Karl Popperformat, which involves two teamsof three speakers. The three

participating in declamations earlyon and moved on to parliamentarystyle debating during O' Levels. Herecalls, The contrast betweendeclamation and parliamentarystyle debates made it difficult forme to cope with the new styleinitially. It took me around a year toget used to the parliamentary

wonderful people we met there.For Azeem, Daniyal and I, the tripstarted out as an adventure because

we had to travel to Dubai to get avisa from the Mexican embassythere. Fortunately, we got it easilyand from there we planned ongoing from London to Mexico. Atthe last moment, we found out that

we would not be able to transit at

London, since we didn't have atransit visa. We were stopped fromthe boarding the plan and we spentthe night at Dubai airport, and

were then rerouted to Sao Paulo,Brazil! After a fourteen hour flightfrom Brazil, we took a nine hourflight to Mexico City and fromthere we journeyed for an hour toLeon. Ahmed remembers theirluggage being lost in one of thetransit flights and they all arrived at

the first round with nothing towear. Even their trip back was aninteresting ride, taking them fromMexico City, Pananma, Rio de

Janeiro, Dubai and fina lly toLahore.He concludes his experience atMexico by saying, Our time inMexico was really good. At the endof the final, even before theannouncement of the result, theentire hall full of six hundred

people was chanting Pakistan!Paksitan, which was an incrediblemoment. There is no better feelingin the world, than the feeling whichcomes from representing yournat ion and winning at aninternational forum. I feltextremely proud of my country andI am honored that I was given thischance.Besides debating, Ahmed is

passionate about cric ket. My

mother reminds me every now andthen of how the first word that Ispoke as a child was not mom ordad, but rather bat. So you can tellthat cricket was my passion sincechildhood. Currently, he isfocusing on his A' Levels and

playing cricket for his school team.As far as his future plans and careergo, Ahmed is torn betweenstudying Law or Economics for hisundergraduate and plans on

debating more before he can go on

to call himself a good debater.

Zainab Hamid was born inKarachi, Pakistan, before shemoved to Brighton, UK at the ageof three. She lived there until theage of about ten, and then movedback to Pakistan and joinedK a r a c h i G r a m m a r S c h o o l .

Currently, Zainab is in eleventhgrade, in her last year of O' Levels.As far as debating goes, Zainabstarted debating almost a year ago.During Middle School, she hadn'tbeen very lucky with the debates tryouts, but when she tried out last

year she go t int o the und ernineteen team as an observer. Thesame year, she spoke at the underseventeen nationals, where she wasranked as the best speaker. Zainab

recalls this moment as one whichshe will never forget during herdebating career. I remember my

very first speech at the preparationcamp before the nationals, which

was not very good. After a while Igot better, and when given theopportunity in the under seventeennationals, I was really able to honemy skills and managed to get thebest speaker award. Around thesame time, Zainab found out that

the top ten speakers from thenationals were going to be eligibleto be part of the team that wouldrepresent Pakistan at KPDC.Zainab recalls her experience atKPDC saying, My experience atMexico made for one of the besttrips of my life. Pakistan had neversent a team to the world youthforum, so this was the first time. Togo for the first time, and leave amark like we hope we did, is truly

amazing. But, one thing that I willnever forget is the people I met, andthe time I shared with them. Wemet people from all over the world,from Estonia, to Canada, fromArgentina to Egypt. Meetingchildren from the Tunisian andEgyptian teams, was definitely aneye opening experience for me, as I

was able to receive first handinsight regarding the Arab Spring.She further adds, We're so happy

we were able to represent our

country. The majority of peoplewere never really expecting us to dothat well, and so, we feel, indisproving them, we were able toclarify a lot of misconceptions

people have about Pakistan. Onone hand we're grateful that we

were able to achieve such success,but the proudest feeling comesfrom the opportunity we had to

represent our country in a goodlight. One of the best things wasthat we got a lot of support, from alot of people at the youth forum,and that is something we were notexpecting.After winning the tournament andthe best speaker award, Zainab is

prioritizing to work and do well onher O' Levels. As far as her longterm career goals go, Zainab islooking into going towards Law, as

well. She says, Who knows whatmay happen in the next few years.I'm just happy to say that I have a

very supportive family which hasa n d h o p e f u l l y a l w a y s w i l lencourage me to follow my heart,and make decisions according tomy own perceptions and feelings.As far as debating goes, she hope tokeep improving as debating issomething she truly enjoys, andhopes to seize any opportunity that

comes her way to progress in thefield.Despite the Debating Society ofPakistan's success at the recentKPDC, debating has not made amark on conventional Pakistaniforums as yet. Ahmed stats this

problem by saying, I think theissue with debating in Pakistan is

that its scope is limited to EnThis is a problem that the DeSociety of Pakistan is trying toby trying to host an

The rules of attraction(or, How to Make Everyone Want You Bad)

Some people seem to get whoever they want and starting now, that can be you!You know how when you're at home getting ready to go somewhere, youstart daydreaming about your entrance? In your head, you're dressed likeyou're headed to Lux Style Awards After party the moment you walkthrough that front door, every head turns to check you out. Tonight you'vegot it going on!It's a rush to be the center of attention to be a certified magnet. And yeah, itmight seem like some people are just born with it, like they don't even haveto blink to make someone drool. But the truth is, being that person isn'tabout looking a certain way or fitting into one narrow definition of sexy. It'sabout tapping into the hard and fast rules that draw someone in everytime. With a little advance training in the secret signals everyone responds

to, they'll flock to you!

RULE#1 Send the right signals

You don't have to send a text to make sure your crushis getting your messages!

COME TALK TO ME.When your eyes catch your crush's,avert your gaze after one or two seconds. IT makes youlook a little shy like you're semi-embarrassed that theycaught you looking which will actually make your crushfeel less nervous about approaching you.

I'M REALL INTO YOU.Run your hands through your hair,but turn your palm outwards towards your crush. This smalltricky gesture makes your body more open, which signalsthat you're receptive to their attention. (Just don't overdo it,or you'll seem fidgety.)Reader rule

While you are dancing at a mehndi or a party, lookyour crush in the eye, smile and raise your eyebrows alittle bit almost like you're inviting them to comecloser. It works like a charm! Rohail Lashari, 21

RULE #2 Appeal to the senses

Science doesn't like these are proven ways youdrive your crush wild.

Sound Weird but true; when you're having a one-onconversation, talking into the right ear will help you conwith the side of the brain that controls happiness.Taste Many people are proven to be attracted to the of cinnamon, so offer to go to Cinnabon or a good

So catch some eyes or sights, and mabig impact.Smell - The nose is directly tied to the part of the brainprocesses attraction. Just a tip; Vanilla and Lavendegood turn ons.

This Hollywood summer, like mostprevious years, was all about superheroes. Even the American Piereunion couldn't get as much hypeas the flying men in extraordinarycostumes. And as far as Bollywoodgoes, it was all about macho mendoing astonishing things as well. Solet's take a look at this summer'shighlights and most memorablefilms.

The Dark Knight Rises(Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway,Joseph Gordon and more)

The Dark Knight Rises was all anyonecould talk about this summer. From itsnews breaking first night worldwide toits early premiere in Pakistan (well,earlier than the Eid shows at least!)

And, Christopher Nolan's last Batmanfilm did live up to the expectations. Withthat said, some of the sections of thefilm are so intoxicating that most of uslabeled it with clichs like pulse-pounding or you'll be on the edge ofyour seat. Although some thought itwasn't the most interesting film in theseries, it still was a satisfying ending toa trilogy that was surprising andenduring. With stirring writing anddialogues, and a spectacle of asoundtrack by Hans Zimmer, The DarkKnight rises was truly a must watch thissummer.

slinger saga, led by Peter Parker withswagger and angst and a tone definedmore by emotional resonance thanwide-eyed wonder. This time aroundthe Amazing Spiderman seemed a littleless amazing and a little more human,which somehow made the film morerelatable and engaging for many. Wesaw him learn, bleed, bruise and comeslinking home to his Aunt May with asheepish self-effacing grin at the end.But nonetheless, most of us enjoyedevery bit of this summer flick plenty of

and a fearless super cop out tooutsmart a bunch of murderousmarauders. What more did we want tokill time during those hot summer days,right?! Rowdy Rathore basically had

a feature film that has been receivingraving reviews at every film festivalscreening.For those of you who haven't read thisgem of a book already, The ReluctantFundamentalist is about a youngPakistani man's, Changez, in a post-9/11 identity crisis. Set in the streets ofthe old city of Lahore, the story is anarration of Changez' loss of love andlife in American, in one evening to an

American stranger. Changez recountshis rise from Ivy League darling to Wall

Street analyst, as well as his love for abeautiful but troubled woman, theirbrief affair serving as a blunt metaphorfor his rapidly evolving relationshipwith America itself in the wake of theSeptember 11 attacks.Despite some critic's confusion of thereluctant fundamentalism or the plot ofthe story, the film has managed toreceive positive reviews from many atthe Venice and the Toronto FilmFestival:Time Magazine praised it as a "tense,

thoughtful and truly international" filmthat "raises questions meant to testAmerica's conscience". Variety saidthe film "saddles itself with a laboriousnarrative structure and half-bakedthriller elements". But the HollywoodReporter described it as "a serious-minded film whose politics demandsoul-searching and attention".For those of you who are not familiarwith Mohsin Hamid or his books (and Ihighly doubt there are many), shouldhit the book stores for a copy of theReluctant Fundamentalist before the

film hits the theaters.
