These factors and many more encourage us at Department of Engi-

in Engineering Management.
Department of Engineering Management provides an opportunity to
graduate engineers to prepare themselves with latest principles and tech-

Here is a little prayer See there that boy that has no arms?
For my lords Bush and Blair. They were blown off.
And see that little girl, crawling on her belly?
I pray, my lords, for both of you, Her legs are gone.
Who had the vision deep to see Oh hear them thanking you, my lords ---
The need to set Iraqis free: You set them free.
That poor oppressed and stifled land And may you sleep well tonight, my lords.
That lay beneath a Tyrant’s hand.
And may your lordships praised be And may you see your children’s children in your dreams,
Whose kind compassion set them free. And watch their little mouths
And may you sleep well tonight. Pucker up in cries of fright
As you watch their legs --- their hands --- their arms ---
Then, as you sleep, oh may you dream Vanish from your sight
Of distant lands with domes agleam. As they go up in flames,
Broad avenues are lined with trees, And hear their cries.
And fountains run and flowers please; I do not have the depth of vision
Then crowded noisome grows the town, To wish to see it happen
All gone to seed, the roads run down; To those who gave no pain ---
Weeds everywhere and streams of sand, I only wish that you
Skulking people at each hand. Could see it in your dreams.
And may you sleep well tonight, my lords.
There stands the statue of the Tyrant
And crowds of children shrink from it. And my lords, may you forgive
Two knights in shining armour come; Those who seek to have you crucified.
--- The heroes, Bush and Blair. They know not what they do.
They lead liberating legions You know my lords, you have but followed
With shiny new and gleaming guns. The path of your Lord Christ.
They come, their guns are blazing. You showed the same compassion.
And all those shrinking children --- You turned the other cheek,
Lie still at the statue’s feet. Did you not, my lords?
And may you sleep well tonight my lords.
You were but sent to set the Third World free, my lords.
There come those weeping women You have but come as saviors born again!
Wailing for their butchered babes ---
Their hearts --- their hopes --- their dreams ---
Lying at the statue’s feet. Righteousness
They’re thanking you, my lords,
For liberating those innocents “Its not righteousness that you turn your faces to the

LOVE OF Going down the memory lane I could not keep myself with
the limits of time. I started remembering the tales of the

love. It was love which had total control over their actions;

Prizes for the 2nd Super Six Cricket Tournament were handed out by the Patron. The winning team Ladoo 29 (Mechanical
29) and the runners up Jheega Jheega (Electrical 28) were handed out the trophies and the prize money. The individual awards
of Man of the Tounament and Highest scorer were presented to NS Saad Akhtar (Electrical 28) where as the Leading Wicket
taker award was given to Jahangir Afzal (PA to CI). The award for the Man of the Final was given to GC Ali Masood
(Computer 29).
Next, the winners of the Band Rung tournament, NS Rehan Zahid (Mechanical 27) and NS Muhammad Mohsin
(Mechanical 27) and the runners up NS Awad Ahmed (Mechanical 28) and NS Saad Ahmed Ghauri (Mechanical 27) were an-
nounced. Followed by the prize distribution, the patron and the advisors presented the appointment cards to the President, Vice
President and the respective General Secretaries. Brig. Akhtar Nawaz then shared his wisdom and experience with the mem-
bers encouraging them to energetically participate in all college co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. The cards to the
deputies, coordinators and assistants of all the wings were presented by the respective General
Secretaries. Once again the administrative and organizational strength of SAS was reflected in this event.
SAS APPOINMENTS
If you ever find enough spare time or have your computer at home broken down, then why not check out what the library
computing facilities have to offer? For centuries libraries have been the hubs of distributing and archiving knowledge. The public
library of New York gives users access to a world of information at astounding speeds. All around the world libraries serve as the
cradle for great leaders, speakers and revolutionaries. Why then should our sacred EME be left behind?
Computing at EME has always been a ride in the wild. Thirty or so colossal G.R.T screens line up the wall-attached tables
of the library. Of course it is 2008 and LCD screens will not be invented for another thirty years or so… The world’s 376th uni-
versity( NUST) propagates instant (within seconds) access to all of the world’s greatest research publications. That does not how-
ever include the 376 seconds it takes for the computer to start.
A typical visit for a student visiting the library to complete his home assignment transgresses as follows: “After
“registering” his textbooks with library staff, he drags a chair in front of a screen. I say drag again because the wheel hasn’t been
invented either( this trend follows for almost all the chairs in EME, by the way). The screen manifests a glamorous “Windows
XP” logo in front of his eyes as he maneuvers the mouse to display the desktop. Hours later, it finally happens and he is prompted
for a username and a password. Note that the password isn’t listed anywhere, and what better way to make an access public by
safeguarding access by a password that no one knows. Nevertheless, there he is, finally managing to download the required files
he stares at the zebra lurking in the background. Of course what is more relevant to fourier analysis and micro controllers than a
zebra in Botswana? He finds and reads the download time for his 400KB(Yes, KB)-43 hours and 21 minutes. ‘WOW’ he ex-
claims, being interrupted by one of the library staff:”Sir, it’s time to shut down the library”.
“But its only 8pm” the student replies.
“And that is when we close. Have you ever seen a library that opens past 8pm?
Disappointed, the student departs, with the prospect of returning tomorrow, hoping the situation improves…
