An Exciting Experience at PACC with Reviving Youth & Anima

When work and study stress exceeds a limit, I often try refreshing myself amongst young teenagers and enthusiastic tech-savvy audience. Last Sunday on 21st October 2012, the team of Reviving Youth and Anima(Towards Light) organized an event tagged as "Scene On Hai" which means Plugged in or to be more appropriate Scene is On in English. It was organized at PACC's auditorium i.e Pakistan American culture Center in Karachi.  The event included some interesting guest speakers and was spiced up with Magic, Illusion, Drama and Singing performance which literally turned my mood on. Ayesha Gull, President of Anima invited us for a Guest speaking session which proved no less than a great honor. Following are some highlights that we could capture so far during our one and a half hour presentation, the longest so far.

What Did We Talk This Time?

For a detailed highlight of the talk, we appreciate you read the following:

• Presentation at Greenwich University

This time the topic I chose was "Its time to start your online business" The audience was mostly of age group 16-25,  I therefore ensured to keep the discussion focused on entrepreneurship by sharing different aspects of online business and its utmost importance in students life in current era of growing economic recession, unemployment and career orientated approach to life. This time I emphasized on PLAN A and PLAN B strategies of life and explained the difference between both by providing a solution at the end on how to get rid of the common PLAN A life and start their online business right form today by taking intelligent risks.  I had never enjoyed speaking so much as I did that day because there was too much of fun and laughter everywhere and yet a productive participation from all corners. Distributed some gift hampers again along with a unique surprise, that further added colors to the event. :)

About the Team

What amazed me the most was that the entire event was organized mostly by young teenagers from different academic institutes of Karachi and each one of them was a bucket full of extra ordinary skills and talents. The entire team offered us great hospitality and were indeed a great company. I would like to thank Ayesha Gul , President of "Anima" and Adeel Jatoi, President of "Reviving Youth" for their invitation and especially for their endeavors in enlightening the youth by providing them with a productive and creative platform. Wish you guys more power.

Your views?

The slides include some important ingredients that are required for a lucrative online income. The videos recorded were not in their full version because some important part of the discussion is missing and that's why we can not share them online. For details related to Plan A and Plan B, you may  surely post your queries in the comment box below.

• How far do you think you need to establish your own business, no matter online or offline?
• What business ideas do you have that could be put online to earn a living?
• Do you think students need to worry about all such headache at an early academic stage or they should rather think of business after graduation?

Your ideas would mean a lot. I will be posting regularly for one week, after which Qasim will be managing the blog on my behalf. My terrible exams are on their way and EID has yet to come. I would love to help you guys as much as time allows within this period. Peace and blessings buddies :)
