Thanks to my colleagues who saved my life
**Article # 129**
**Dated: 20th December 2022**
Since the last four months, I haven't been able to publish any articles. Simply put, I lacked the motivation to start writing here. I was too busy squandering time on other pointless activities. I had the choice to use my time productively instead of wasting it. And I'm almost certain that I would continue wasting it even though I would keep attempting to avoid procrastinating.
So what inspired me to publish an article now after such a long time anyway?
I requested my roommate to buy some chicken Biryani almost two weeks ago, and I ate it like it was my last meal. I was unaware that a brain seizure was about to occur. Brain.
As per Mayoclinic.org, Brain Seizure is
A seizure is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. It can cause
changes in your behavior, movements or feelings, and in levels of consciousness. Having
two or more seizures at least 24 hours apart that aren't brought on by an identifiable
cause is generally considered to be epilepsy.
So when my roommate heard me making some strange noises, he hurried over to me and was frightened to see how I was acting. At that moment, my entire body grew rigid. He was seeing this for the first time, and he didn't know what to do. He then frantically raced into other rooms to call for assistance from others.
When they believed I was recovering to normal, another Brain Seizure begin to appear. My coworkers hurriedly called for an ambulance and took me to the hospital. My brother was asked about his medical history by the hospital administration. With my medical history, my brother joined me in the emergency room. Fortunately, once they examined with a CT scan and some other lab tests, everything was normal.
At 6:30 PM, I experienced my first brain seizure attack, which left me unconscious until the next morning. Only twice did I stay awake once while they gave me an anesthetic drip and once while I was vomiting. When I woke up in the morning I felt very weak. The hospital management discharged me and advice complete bed rest at home. They put me in strict medicine schedule and advice me to visit my neurosurgeon.
After two weeks of bed rest, I returned to work yesterday. I've realized that I need to take less work-related stress. I don't care what people think of me or how they judge me. Life is very short so we should stop stressing so much about other's opinion and start living it happily for ourselves and our families.
Recently, after multiple resignations from our department, majority of the burden came on my shoulder. Now its high time to release that burden and start taking my mental health seriously.
I am so lucky to have such helping and caring colleagues around who spent the whole night with me at the hospital in such freezing winter. They put blanket around me and made sure to keep me warm while they were in sleepers because they panickily left their rooms in emergency. They even fought with the administration when I was unconscious for a long time because they thought I am being overdosed with the anesthesia. They went through hell that night and they assist me like I am their family member. They even took care of my brother and told him to be with my side and they will take care of all the hospital administrative activity. I cant thank them enough and I hope I will be able to pay them the reward for their help.
Also, I have started to take my diet and health seriously. I have realized to spend some money on healthy food and start exercising as well. I will visit my neurosurgeon and if he recommend me to surgically remove infected titanium Mesh. I will go for 2nd opinion and if the 2nd opinion is the same, I wont hesitate removing it and try me level best to become completely fit in the next two years in sha Allah.
I will try to publish regularly on this platform and hopefully I will be able to fulfil this promise now.

The reasons for Being unable to publish any article for the last two weeks
**Article # 128**
**Dated: 5th August 2022**
For over two weeks, I was unable to publish any articles. The good news is that it was not due to laziness. I was at home, and I returned to my office the day before yesterday. And today's piece would be entirely based on the events of the past two weeks.
I went to the hospital for a routine examination with my Neurosurgeon on 23rd of July
My neurosurgeon previously advised me to return in 6 months. So I went to see him for an examination. He prescribed some medications and urged me to return in two months to decide about the infected mesh.
Do read my previous article if you want to know the complete backstory about my health issues. https://read.cash/@Usmanshoaib/bad-news-regarding-my-health-6154a1d3
I began to experience soreness in my throat on the same day
My mother gave me some apples to eat as I was leaving early in the morning. I was in a hurry to leave, so I washed them. With my wet hand, I went to put on perfume. A few drops of perfume were applied to my wet hands too. I was eating an apple at the same time, so I ate the part where I put my wet hands, as well as some perfume. I became aware of some soreness in my throat. I thought it wouldn't be a problem, but when I got home from the hospital, my body temperature began to rise slightly because I have a throat infection.
Spent Sunday, the 24rth of July on the bed
It was all my fault, and I spent Sunday in bed because my body ached and I had a flu fever. So I took the next two days off (25th and 26th July). I rested for the three days to recover from the fever. And I started feeling better on 26th July and I thought I should join office on 27th July. Even contacted my boss and told him I would be present at office tomorrow.
Unfortunately, my wife developed a fever at night. It was also risky for her because she was seven months pregnant. As a result, I decided to take her to the gynecologist for a checkup to avoid complications. So my boss was kind enough to grant me leave for another day.
So I took her to the gynecologists', and thankfully, it was not as serious as we had feared. She prescribed some medications and assured us that everything would be fine in no time.
I thought I would be back at office on 28th July but I could not.
I was forced to take leaves for the next three days (28-30 July)
My mother knocked on my door early in the morning. I awoke quickly because I was afraid that something bad had happened, which is why she was knocking so early. When I opened my door, my mother informed me that my brother's pregnant wife's water had broken. And we need to get her to the hospital right away. Because my brother was not at home, I had to drive her to the hospital.
I rushed her to the hospital, where she delivered a beautiful and healthy baby boy.
That's all for now; in my next article, I'll explain why I wasn't able to get to work for the next few days. I'm returning home tomorrow and will be back at work on August 10th in sha Allah. Monday and Tuesday are official Muharram holidays.
I will do my best to publish the article within the next few days. But as you may be aware, typing on a smartphone is extremely difficult. Unfortunately, when I leave the house, I leave my laptop at the office.
Thank you @JustMyRambles01 for the sponsorship renewal. I will try my best to write regularly on this platform onwards :)
Some Employees of ours are Just Pain in the Ass
**Article # 127**
**Dated: 20th July 2022**
Ah, Rusty paid me a few visits, and it appears that he will like me once more and that our friendship will become even stronger than it was before 😂. I've finally discovered something positive to celebrate. Frankly, I didn't expect Rusty's visits soon. I thought he would begin doing so after at least 10 more articles. But my assumption was wrong, and he immediately showed generosity.
The majority of our personnel display a careless and reckless attitude
My supervisor told me to stay in the office after the office hours were over. He actually wanted me to go to each office and see if anyone hadn't turned off their UPS and desktop computer. We have already encountered similar conduct, and our management has issued a circular to turn off all the equipment that consumes power.
But most of our employees still show negligence despite the circular. So I went out to every office and found out that almost 50 percent of employees are not abiding by that circular. They didn't switch off their UPS and desktops. The problem is they don't realize that when the battery drains out completely when they left their UPS Powered on after the duty time ends. Because no generator turns on after the duty hours in case of electricity outage.
Despite the circular, the majority of our staff continue to be negligent. So I went to every workplace and discovered that over half of the staff are not following the circular. They did not turn off their UPS or desktop computers. The trouble is that they do not realize when the battery entirely drains when they leave their UPS powered on after the duty period. Because no generator switches on after the duty hours in the event of a power outage.
As a result, we deal with battery problems and UPS failures on a regular basis. I've never observed a decrease in these issues, rather a steady increase. The same users would claim that the IT Department is not supplying us with a UPS or a battery but unfortunately it's their fault in the first place. I mean it's their responsibility to take care of their IT equipment first. This is the company's property, but its downtime will cause them to suffer, not the company because they will lose valuable time and their work will be disturbed.
They don't understand that desktop computers aren't designed to run continuously. When a computer remains turned on continuously for 24 hours, the components are stressed, resulting in a reduction in the life cycles of that component.
I am a pretty calm person who does not believe in punishment, yet I feel these employees should be fined or issued a warning letter. It will teach them a lesson, and they will never be so negligent with official IT equipment again.

I Hope Floods wont hit us again
**Article # 126**
**Dated: 19th July 2022**
Well, it looks like Rusty is not giving me any attention these days. It actually is my fault because I am not regular on this platform that Rusty didn't pay any visit to my previous article. Anyways, I also don't expect any visit soon because I know Rusty would take some days and some articles to get happy with me 😂. It would take some time, some effort, and some good writing to make Rusty generous again.
Time is running so fast
I don't remember the exact time when I joined Twitter. A friend of mine suggested I join Twitter if I want to be aware of current affairs. Twitter is a platform that is far better than useless platforms like Facebook, Instagram, etc. Facebook is a propaganda-driven platform where anyone can get fooled by any fake news. I have seen many people who are so dumb that they cant even differentiate between a real and a fake video clip. And most of those dumb people are using Facebook for news. Now imagine how those fools can be easily fooled by any propaganda. But I found more than 70 percent of people on Twitter are educated and they cannot be fooled by any propaganda.
Anyways, I joined the platform and today I received a notification from Twitter about my five years anniversary when I joined Twitter.
So I was 27 years old when I joined Twitter. And I am so glad that I found Twitter. Twitter is rich in content from all walks of life. You can engage with experts in every field on Twitter and get the advantage of their experiences and their knowledge.
Rain Prediction for the coming whole week
Humidity and heat have made our lives worst and its a really good news coming from weather experts. The temperature would fall below 30 degrees which will be better. It's a piece of good news regarding the weather but the problem is, I hope we won't get to see more floods. This is the problem with poor countries, they cant enjoy the rain because the sewerage system in our country sucks.
I wish I could share the pictures of the flooding from last week. But I don't want to get into trouble with copyrights. I have seen our 3 feet water on our main road which is used for the main traffic in our city. Floods have badly affected most of our cities. Floods destroyed the main street in our village and look like people won't be able to repair it by themselves and they are seeking the government help. Even though they used to collect money before for small damages and used to repair it themselves but they can't afford to repair this damage right now.
But I really hope flood wont hit my country again in sha Allah.
In the last, I hope Rusty would make a visit on my article today 😂.
Random Article (Once Again)
**Article # 125**
**Dated: 18th July 2022**
The biggest problem I have ever faced is I don't know how to start an article when I don't write regularly on this platform. Just kidding, I know I always write shitty introductions in all my articles 😂. And I am a shitty writer, I have never claimed to be a professional writer, I only write for fun here.
Anyways, I could not publish an article because of my laziness (Once again). But now I will try to publish regularly on this platform. Even though I have aimed for it dozen times. But I will definitely fulfill my commitment this time. I have even started posting regularly on noise.cash platform despite not getting free tips for God knows how long and it truly sucks but I have been patient.
I am facing some bugs in Read.cash webpage
Yes, Even right now, when I save the article it does not get saved and I am forced to copy all my content to a word file and paste it again when read.cash start working properly. I am an IT guy and I am 99 percent confident that this is related to my browser, maybe refreshing my browser will be able to fix this problem. But I can't afford to do that. **Reason # 1:** I don't want to enter all the seed phrases again and **Reason # 2** is I don't want to lose my BAT tokens as once I have refreshed my android browser (Or refreshed my Operating System I completely forget) and I lost all the BAT Tokens. And I don't want to lose it again.
This is the problem that I face as you can see in the screenshot above. If anyone of you has faced this problem and the solution is different than my proposed solution, I would be keen to know it and I would be happy if it resolves my issue.
Missing my family right now
SO I left home today after 9 holidays and I am feeling miserable right now. I am missing my family so much. That's the problem when I go on a long vacation and I come back to my office, I miss my family even more.
Good News
I have resolved the issue for the time being. I have started using read.cash in the Chrome browser and it has resolved the issue. I can save my article right now. I knew their would be some problem in my Brave browser. I will try to do something about it tomorrow in sha Allah.
In the last, I have lost my sponsors who supported me for a long time but now I have only one sponsor right now. Hopefully, I will be able to post regularly now, and hopefully, that will make my sponsors come back.

Another Colleague Left our office
Article # 124
Dated: 11th June 2022
Hi, I hope you all are doing well. So I am back after three weeks and I won't promise you guys that I would be regular. I will explain the reason in today's article.
One colleague has left us
Don't worry he didn't leave this world, he actually resigned 😂. He left our office two weeks ago so I have been busy like hell for the last three weeks. I worked late hours because I needed to finish his work too. Actually, two other colleagues leave our office before too and I have even published articles about it but I am not going to post the links here because I want to finish this article as soon as possible and have some rest because I am feeling bloody tired right now and that was the reason I didn't publish article these days. It wasn't physical work but mental work can make a person even more exhausted.
So I am the only one who is being the work of three colleagues. They left our office because our company wasn't paying them enough. One of our colleagues tried his best to convince the management to raise his pay but they didn't. And sadly they hired his replacement with 2x of his pay. This makes me feel sad and demotivated when employers do not pay their employees and keep on exploiting them.
I am also losing patience now and I am also giving a thought to resigning too but I have spent nine years in this organization and I am only one year away from getting a land plot. But I am fed up with the management and I wish this year passes in the blink of an eye.
The good thing is all three of them are happy with their job now and they are even getting double pay then they get here.
The scorching Sun is making our lives hell
It's really hard to go out during the day because the weather is extremely hard these days. The heat waves trigger headaches and it is making our life miserable. Whenever I go out during the day I spot only fewer people on the roads. Almost everyone is being imprisoned in their homes due to the heat waves. It didn't rain for weeks now. Even though clouds appear almost every day with heavy storms but it makes even the temperature higher instead of decreasing it.
I usually used to leave a bit early on Saturday for home but I have stopped leaving early these days because the scorching sun has become unbearable.
When will the crypto market pump again?
Well, I wish I could know the answer to it but unfortunately, I am not a crypto expert. I think even crypto can not answer exactly as they would also have a guess about it. But I really hope the market would turn green again because it has taken ages and I am sure everyone would be fedup of seeing it bleeds.
Anyways,
I cant publish articles every day because of my busy schedule these days but I will try to publish every second day in sha Allah.
I lost almost $200 in Future Trades (What did I learn from this Loss?)
**Article # 123**
**Dated: 20th May 2022**
Its 7:30 AM in the morning and I woke up at 6 AM. I didn't get out of my bed, scrolling through social media for 30 mins. When I entered the washroom to take a shower, the rain didn't start. When I got free from the shower, I could see the roads turned wet. So it's a blessing for us in intensely hot weather. It's sprinkling and I hope it gets converted to heavy rain so that we get to enjoy pleasant weather for a day or two.
**I lost almost $200 in Future Trades**
Before you guys start asking why I went for Future Trades if I had no idea, I would clarify that I didn't go for it myself. I joined a premium WhatsApp group after a few recommendations where the admin would give us future signals based on his technical skills. Unfortunately, I realized he didn't know much and it was all his assumptions. Experts do provide the stop loss signal but he didn't. SO I put $15 in BAKEUSDT and ZILUSDT as per his signal.
BTC started dumping and these coins were dumped along with it. So I had to add margin to save it from liquidation. I reached $88 in ZIL and $100 in BAKE and I thought I would save it from liquidation. I didn't add all the margins once, I kept on observing BTC value and then added margins on the basis of that observation. But BTC went below $28,000 and unfortunately, I could not save these dollars from liquidation.
We kept on asking the guy what should we do? Should we close the position and escape from a big loss or should we keep on adding margins? He gave us the advice of adding the margin as he thought the coin will go up.
How was I feeling after a huge loss?
It was a huge loss for me as I have never lost any money on anything. And losing $200 was a huge thing for me. So I was really sad and I was pissed more than sad. I was pissed at the guys who gave us the signals. I know signals are based on technical analysis and I also know anything can happen in the crypto market but he should he provide the stop loss so that we could have avoided such a big loss. All of it happened almost a week ago. Thanks to the Swat trip which made me get over the loss and I thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
What Important Lesson did I learn from this loss?
The one most important thing that I learned from the crypto market is, Never to put money on Future trades if you don’t have any technical knowledge about them. Don’t rely on others' signals as no one can care more about your money than yourself. And you can hold no one accountable for it. My money is already stuck in the Spot Trade, So I am waiting for the BTC to pump so that I can clear my already stuck crypto. And then I will do only Spot Trading.

A Brief Trip to Swat Valley (Mini Switzerland of Pakistan)
**Article # 122**
**Dated: 17th May 2022**
I am back again after three weeks. I was on Eid holidays for 10 days and then I went on a short trip for 4 days with my family. I will try to write regularly onward on this platform (I hope I keep my word this time 😂).
A short trip to Swat
The summer is back in our region and the heat waves are more intense this time. We usually observe severe heat in June and July but this time even May felt like we were living in a hot kitchen. So I wanted to get fresh by visiting a cool and beautiful area. My mother belongs to Swat, so she decided to visit her brothers. I already wanted to take some time away from my region which was acting like a furnace. And when I heard my mother is also visiting there, I told my wife to pack bags and visit Swat.
So Swat is also known as Pakistan's Switzerland and Heaven on Earth. Some claim that Queen Elizabeth II called it “Switzerland of the East” that's why it is named Switzerland of Pakistan. Swat is one of the major tourist attraction spots in Pakistan that brings tourists from all over Pakistan and from around the world too. I have seen foreigners in the bazaars of Swat. Unfortunately, some radicals destroyed the peace of the region when they seized it in 2007 but the control was gained back by the state in 2009.
But unfortunately, heavy floods occurred in Swat in 2010 which resulted in the destruction of the roads and infrastructures. Several videos circulated of the hotels floating on the River Swat. The roads remained disastrous for the next few years but the new PTI government started building those roads and now almost all the roads are built and tourism has started again in the region which is bringing revenue to the region.
Swat Valley is naturally beautiful filled with many beautiful places. The valley is surrounded by tall mountains filled with greenery and trees while the Swat River is in the Center. The blue color of the river water is a major attraction and when the water hits the rock, it becomes red because it is snow melted in the glaciers. The best place is its Cedar tree forest. It just feels amazing to see those tall and huge cedar trees.
Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures this time but my wife took this picture and I think she did a good job in capturing the beauty of Kalam Swat by capturing the snowy mountain in which the river swat floating in the center. This picture is a wonderful treat to the eyes. Though the picture is a bit blurry because the camera quality was not good but still good.
Watch the youtube video below if you want to explore Swat. It's 5 mins video and I am sure you would love it.

I am stuck (Not Impatient) in the current crypto market
**Article # 121**
**Dated: 21st April 2022**
Honestly, I have taken a lot of time convincing myself to publish an article here again. It's not I don't want to publish, I want to but I have become so lazy for the past 4 weeks and I can't stop myself from watching some random videos on youtube. But I realized I have already wasted my time so why can't I publish an article and make my day productive a little bit. 😂
Hopefully, the Ramazan will end and I will be active again in sha Allah. An empty stomach makes me less active and lazy. 😂
Rusty made my day
So I published an article yesterday after 4 weeks and I wasn't expecting any generosity from Rusty but I was wrong. Rusty welcomed me with $5.28 and looks like he is happy with my comeback. 😂 That's the reason behind my motivation and that's why I have taken some time out from my busy schedule (*Busy wasting my time watching random youtube videos 😂😂😂*) and started writing here again.
When I published my article, Rusty started tipping me right away. I thought he won't even review my article for a day but I was wrong.
I am Stuck in Binance Trading
So I started trading a month ago and I did earn quite some amount. But unfortunately, I made some trade when BTC was above $46K as I thought BTC will make new ATH. I did some trade-in altcoins but you all may know that BTC influences the whole crypto market. So my portfolio went down from $760 to $510. The market is getting better now as the BTC is recovering and now my portfolio is at $655.
I have made some trades in different coins and I still have $94 USDT but I don't know where to trade it. And I really don't want to get stuck again. I did trading with my conscious and I didn't have the proper knowledge. It was all my random decisions. These weren't the right decisions but at least I learned from them.
I have decided to join a premium WhatsApp group. They provide futures trading signals. And hopefully, I will gain some amount while doing future trades.
The good thing is, I am not impatient about my stuck coins and I am hopeful that I will recover the stuck amount in time in sha Allah.
It would be wonderful if you guys also provide me with your suggestions. I am sure some of you guys would be expert enough and hopefully, your advice will help me in future trading in sha Allah.
I am happy about one thing though, all the crypto that you guys are seeing in my portfolio, I haven't invested even a penny from my pocket. I have accumulated it through Noise.cash and Read.cash and I don't even know how to thank these platforms. These two platforms made me enter the crypto world. And I am highly thankful for that.
New Resignations Put More Burden on my shoulder
**Article # 120**
**Dated: 20th April 2022**
So I didn't write for more than 4 weeks on this platform. The reason was that I could not focus to write because Ramazan started. I hope all of you guys would know that we Muslims fast in Ramazan. And unfortunately, when my stomach is empty, I cannot focus properly. And the other reason is that our routine has changed. Now we get to wake up in the middle of the night like 3 AM and then we get to bed again at 4:30 AM and try to sleep. And I usually take 1 hour to sleep again. So these interruptions disturb my sleep and I cannot get enough deep sleep. That's the reason why I cannot focus even on the work. Luckily, our office hours and works reduce in Ramazan due to the closing of construction work.
Two of our colleagues have resigned
I have already posted about one of our colleague's resignations a month ago. Click on the link below if you are interested in reading that article.
https://read.cash/@Usmanshoaib/last-night-was-an-emotional-night-for-us-bc6847c2
So he left our office a month ago and we had to face a huge burden of work all of the sudden. But unfortunately (For us) two other colleagues have also resigned because their salary was low and they got another better opportunity. It is fortunate for them but I hate to admit that we will have to face even more burdens. Our HR department has not even recruited an employee as a replacement for our previous colleague. And I am sure it would take more than a month or two to recruit the replacements. And even if they recruit them, they will take months to learn and get settled in our environment.
One of our colleagues will leave us at the end of Ramazan and the other will leave us after Eid. My boss has already instructed me to buckle up because I am the only technical person remaining in the department who will have to take the responsibility for the whole technical stuff.
The real trouble is my wounds are not getting better. I have published an article about my health and if you are interested to read it, click on the link given below.
https://read.cash/@Usmanshoaib/bad-news-regarding-my-health-6154a1d3
So the wounds are getting worse day by day because my body is rejecting the titanium mesh in my head. I am planning to visit my doctor after eid. And I think he will definitely advise me to go through another surgery. So it would be tough for my department to send me on leaves for surgery. And this makes me even tenser than how would I ask my boss because I have already taken enough leaves in the last three years due to my three surgeries. I am sure he would not stop me because he knows health is far more important than all matters. But still, I can't ask him and I am badly hoping for any miracle to happen. I wish my body stops fighting the titanium. It would be a miracle if it happens.
And in the end, bundles of thanks to @PVMihalache, @Talecharm and @JustMyRambles01 for renewing the sponsorships even though I didn't publish any article from the last 4 weeks. Even though I could not focus enough to write but your sponsorship motivated me to keep on writing. Thank you guys for motivating me.

I am unable to publish any articles these days because I am at home on leave right now. I will be back to the office on Friday so hopefully, I will beat procrastination and publish one on Friday in sha Allah.
Happiness vanished when you start comparing your lives to others
**Article # 119**
**Dated: 18th March 2022**
So yesterday, a driver asked me for help. He asked me to configure a wifi CCTV camera for his shop. He is not educated so he could not read and he was unable to configure himself. I mean he can't even operate a computer so it was not possible for him to configure it from youtube.
So I told him I would meet him in his room after 5 PM when the office time ends. I went to his room and I needed to perform prayer so I used his washroom for ablution. I really got impressed by the work of tiles in his washroom. When I got free from the prayers I asked him, who did these tiles work in your washroom. And I got surprised and impressed when he told me that he has constructed this washroom by himself. Unfortunately, our management doesn't allow them rooms with attach bathroom and six drivers live in one room. The condition of their rooms is worst. They don't even have proper furniture and beds and they are given cots for sleeping.
So he told me his boss was on good terms with the management. So I requested him to ask for permission of washroom for the management. To which they denied the first time because they didn't want to supply the material so he requested he would buy his own material and everything and will build it himself. So the management approved and he build this washroom by himself.
He felt the need for it because there were a few washrooms outside and everyone used it. And obviously, it's completely dirty that's why he felt the need for a separate washroom.
So I asked that driver why is he wasting his time in this fixed income driving job when he can earn a handsome amount doing his own mason work because he is skillful and expert enough. His answer was "I have given this project more than 10 years and I can't waste these 9 years because I have 4 daughters and I believe the plot that our company provides after 10 years will make it easy for me to cover the wedding expenses for my daughters". This made me feel so sad because our company allots plot after 10 years but to only those who have reference or approach to a higher level. They mostly take 15 to 16 years to allot plot to those who have no reference.
Anyways, my prayers are with him and his daughters and I wish he would get his plot right after 10 years. Unfortunately, our society makes it a lot tougher for those who have daughters. They have to pay for dowry and the wedding expenses for a daughter are almost around 1 Million Pkr for normal families. And 1 million is not low money for normal people who are only surviving on their monthly income. I hope the greedy mindset of our people would change one day.
And another thing I realized we always complain about our lives because we always look up to those who are better than us. We are not thankful for all the blessings that we have got in our lives. We realized it when we see someone who is not doing better in their lives. We should be really thankful there are many people who would actually wish and desire for the things that we have in our life. So we should stop comparing our lives to others and start living our own life. Remember comparison will only make your happiness vanish and it will make your life miserable.
So I configure the wifi camera and I am happy that the driver has settled a mobile accessories shop and he is earning a good amount over there and he is providing the best for his daughters. And we should learn from him to work hard and do our best to meet the needs.

Oh Damn, Summer is back again
**Article # 118**
**Dated: 17th March 2022**
So it's 7 AM in the morning. I woke up at 5:30 AM and after getting free from morning prayer. I watched some videos on the crypto market situation and I thought I would start writing here right away but could not stop watching some entertaining videos on youtube and wasted almost 1 hour on it. I will try to utilize my time and don't waste watching some random videos on youtube. Because these two hours can be more useful than the full day if I don't get distracted in these two hours.
**Summer is back again**
So the summer is back again but I am not sure if it's completely back because one long rain spell can bring the winters back but we have put our blankets and jackets etc back inside the closet. And I really really hope we get to chance to bring those back. I wish for a rain spell because I hate summer and I don't want to welcome it soon. I wish I was wealthy enough to spend summer in some cold areas like Swat or Murree. Or even outside my country like Russia, Canada, etc 🤣.
There is a saying in our country that Winter is for poor people and summer is for the rich because the poor can warm themselves in winter like they can put an extra blanket or set some fire to warm themselves but there is no way to beat the heat in summer. Air coolers don't work, taking a bath is not feasible because the water also gets warmer in the summer, and sometimes the sweating starts even while changing the clothes after taking a bath, also they can't afford Air conditions. While rich people have air conditions in their cars, homes, offices and everywhere they go. They get used to air conditions to a level that they cant spend some time without AC.
Thankfully, we have AC in the office and home but we don't have one in the official residence. Our Director gave the idea to install Air conditions in the officer's room at least but one administration head proposed that air cooler would also work better and AC would consume electricity more and maybe they cant afford it. A company that earns in millions and billions cant afford to pay the electricity bills in thousands. They can easily afford it but unfortunately, our administration head tried to become over efficient and we suffer due to his over efficiency in summer.
I saw some happy posts on social media regarding summer. They were welcoming summer and I was like these are all rich dudes who are welcoming summer. If they were poor they would have posted "Oh damn, summer is back again to make our life miserable again" 🤣
Summer looks good in those areas where the temperature goes below minus in winters and where the snowfall occurs and they get to see only white ice in the whole winter. I am sure they would welcome summer but not us. It would be insane if someone loves scorching heat in the summer. I hate sweating and we get to smell only sweat in the summer. So i dont think its an wise option to welcome summer.
Bahrain Crypto regulations & EU Parliament voted against high power-consuming Cryptos ban
**Article # 117**
**Dated: 16th March 2022**
Apologies for not being able to publish an article from the last six days. Last Thursday and Monday went in procrastination while I was busy at a cousin's wedding on Saturday. So I had to leave the office on Friday that's why I didn't have time to write one. I didn't publish one last night because I have decided to wake up early and write an article early morning. I will try to make this routine permanent because writing an article in the early morning is the best choice. Because there is no one to disturb me and I can write in a noise-free environment.
Bahrain has issued crypto license to Binance
I saw this tweet from Binance CEO, Changpeng Zhao (I have shared the tweet). So Bahrain is the first country in the middle east that took the initiative to issues a crypto-asset provider license to Binance. It is a better step taken for the crypto betterment and now we can see an increase in crypto market capitalization because Bahrain is a rich country with oil and gas reserves.
So we can definitely notice some bullish movement in the crypto market in near future. In fact, a slow bullish movement has already started though I am not sure if Bahrain regulating the crypto is the reason for that. I hope it will also make other middle eastern countries realize that they should also go for regulation of crypto and it will bring a big positive change in the crypto because some middle eastern countries are highly rich countries.
European Parliament voted against the high power consuming cryptos ban proposal
So a proposal has presented in European Parliament on 14th march about baning the high energy-consuming cryptocurrencies. Because they believe these cryptos are not climate healthy as it consumes a lot of power. As we can see mining in bitcoin and Ethereum so the proposal was to ban all these cryptocurrencies.
So, fortunately, they voted in the parliament and most of the votes go against the proposal which is very good news for the crypto market. Also, this proposal spread FOMO in the market and we could see instability in the crypto market from the last few days but now after this news, we might see a bull run.
The bull run in the crypto
I have checked the market right now and saw a big bull run in the market. When I woke up I saw BCH at $291 and now I can see it crossing $300. It is a big sign for another big bull run (I am not an expert though 🤣). Even though I have already sold my 0.59 BCH at $287 but I am not worried about it as I have already set another 0.54 BCH at $310. So I will try to take benefit from the market as much as possible in sha Allah.
Thank you so much @Telecharm for sponsorship renewal. Sponsors like you motivate me to keep on writing.
Why it's not a shame to live with your parents in Eastern Culture
**Article # 116**
**Dated: 9th March 2022**
Yesterday, I was scrolling through Youtube short videos and I saw a small clip from an interview of Aishwariya Rai (Famous Bollywood Actress and former Miss Universe) in David lettermen show. You can watch the clip as I am about to post the link here.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mx2tQXsv3dk
So basically, David Lettermen tried to mock Aishwariya for living with her parents and he received a savage reply from her. I mean I am not against the culture of leaving the parents and building a future by themselves without the parent's support. It is very empowering. But I hate when someone mocks another culture.
So I realized I should write an article about why old children live with their parents and why it's not an embarrassment for them like it's considered in the western cultures.
Financial Reason is not involved
Westerns consider a person loser who lives with their parents as they feel the person is still dependent on his parents. But it's not the case in eastern cultures. Old children live with their parents not due to financial reasons. I can easily leave my parents and shift to another home because I have a stable income and I can live on my own. I don't need to bear the expenses of my parents because my dad is a pensioner and he gets a pension every month so they can also live on their own. And same goes for my brother.
But we prefer to live as a united family and stick to our family values. We don't want to get separated. And that's why eastern people have strong family bonds and how supportive they are of each other.
We don't want to leave our aging parents
It's considered a shame in eastern culture when a child leaves their old parents on their own. They want to take care of their aging parents as they believe their parents have done their best raising them so it's time to return the favor by taking care of them. Even though I believe nobody can return the favor for their commendable job.
You take care of your parents, your children take care of you and this is how the circle and phase of life move on.
There might be many reasons behind why older children don't leave their parents in eastern culture but I think these two reasons are the basic ones. I would love to hear about other reasons that you guys know.
I will try to compile an article tomorrow about the pros and cons of living with their parents.
Thank you for reading the article.

Last Night was an emotional night for us
**Article # 115**
**Dated: 8th March 2022**
Yesterday I could not publish an article because we went out for lunch as we organized a farewell party for one of our close colleagues. I thought I would publish one after returning but it was too late and I was tired and sleepy so I went to sleep.
I wish management in every organization stop exploiting their employees
So a colleague of mine had to leave this organization after eight years. He was working as an officer but his pay was equivalent to the pay of office boys. He didn't even want to resign after he received an offer from another organization despite they offered even a double package from his current salary. He requested our boss to ask the management for a raise and he won't even mind a little raise but management denied it. So unfortunately he did resign even though he didn't want to leave us.
So last night was kind of emotional for all of us. He and another colleague of ours even cried before lunch. This person used to take care of the whole department alone and we were so comfortable when he was present in the office. Work does not stop when someone leaves but of course, it will be tough for us for a some time.
There is no respect for the technical person in our department and non-technical departments are getting raised every time. When we ask for a raise, management shoved us with a lot of excuses but the HR department gets raises twice a year. This unfair and unjust behavior has made everyone sick and they have started hating the management. They consider themselves the gods in our organization right now. But they won't even know what hits them because I have worked in this organization for nine years and I have already seen the downfall of three managements here. All of them considered themselves the mighty ones but they vanished in days.
I wish they realized it soon and start paying us for what we deserve. All of us are working our ass off. Many people advise me to work worth my pay but I don't agree with them because my hard work will eventually pay off one day in sha Allah.
Farewell party for our colleague
I guess I should end this article with a happy note instead of a sad one. So let's talk about the food we eat yesterday at the farewell party. I got emotional too but then I converted all my focus on the food because there is one thing that I am really good at - eating. 🤣🤣
These are some glimpses from last night.
I thought mutton won't be tasty because the restaurant is not famous for mutton but I was wrong, mutton was indeed very tasty.
I thought chicken would be tasty because this restaurant is famous for chicken but I was wrong, again. 🤣
The spices on this chicken tikka just made it special.
And at the end, our departing colleague cut this cake. Good luck to IT Bravo was written on this cake. And he was indeed the bravo of our department. We wish him good luck in his future and we wish him success in his future endeavors.
I wish I could have selected another field
**Article # 114**
**Dated: 3rd March 2022**
So it was a beautiful rainy day today and I thought I would enjoy it because the rain didn't affect any activity today but I was wrong.
I wish I could have selected another field
Yes, I wish I could have. I wish I could find the person who suggested joining the IT field and kill him (Joke BTW). But unfortunately, I can find him but I still can't say anything to him. I can kill him but people will call it a suicide because I was the person who suggested this field, no one else suggested it. 🤣
So Yesterday, we finished our work of installing cameras and establishing a wireless connection with another site. I was happy because the job was finished and I already reported it to my boss. But unfortunately, I received a complaint early morning about the downtime of the CCTV cameras. So I checked it and find out that the cameras went down in the morning at 4 AM.
It made me feel so worried as I thought the rain might have damaged the cameras even though proper insulation and taping have been done to the connectors and there is no chance the rainwater might have reached but still I thought maybe my boys have dealt with it carelessly. And I got scared because the wireless link was working and I checked it remotely so it means the wireless device is fine. So I send the team to the premises and told them to check what's the issue.
They went there and told me that the LAN port is not working with the switch so maybe the POE injector is damaged. I know you guys might be wondering what is POE and LAN. I will make it simple and short to make you guys understand it easily. POE means power over ethernet so POE port provides power along with the internet. There are some cameras that don't need any power adapter as the internet cable is enough to provide power along with the internet. LAN port is the port that only provides the internet not power.
So I took another POE injector and some cables to swap and checked it but it was in vain. I checked every possible scenario but I wasn't able to get it working. I wanted to bang my head with the wall because everything was clear and it seems there is no issue whatsoever but still it's not working.
This is why I hate my field as sometimes we do everything the right way but still, some issues happen and we have no idea why it happens. And when you have no idea what has happened you have no idea about how to solve it.
I have googled it but looks like nobody has resolved it many people have asked about it online but nobody has resolved it yet. So I am stuck right now but hopefully, I will get it working again in sha Allah.

Stop Saying "This is not my problem"
**Article # 113**
**Dated: 2nd February 2022**
So I saw a Facebook post yesterday, was a story written in Urdu. I usually avoid longer posts and it kind of bore me but that post got successful in keeping my interest. And after reading the whole post, I realize it has a wonderful message so I thought I should share it with you guys too.
So the post was:-
A rat lived in a farmer's house in the hole. One day the rat saw the farmer's wife pulling something out of her bag. The rat thought she might be pulling something to eat.
But when looked closely he found that it was a rat trap. He got terrified and he went to the backyard and told the pigeon that a rat trap had entered the house. He thought the pigeon might offer some help or suggestion. But the pigeon laughed at him and told him that he does not care about it as he is not the one who is going to trap in it.
So he tried to ask the rooster for help. Rooster also laughed at his situation and made fun of him and joked that its not his problem.
He went straight to the goat and thought the goat might offer some expert advice as to what to do? And goat did the same what pigeon did. Made fun of the situation of the poor rat and told him that it was not his problem too.
Anyways, a venomous snake got trapped in a rat trap in the night and the farmer's wife heard the sound of it. It was dark so the farmer's wife thought the rat has been trapped so she begin to pull it out, when her hand touched the snake, it bit her. She was suffering from pain so the farmer called hakim who advised her to drink the pigeon soup. So the farmer fulfilled the advice and started boiling the pigeon in the pot. Relatives paid a visit to see the farmer's wife and inquire about her health.
The farmer needed to provide them food so he slaughtered the rooster. Unfortunately, the farmer's wife's body could not fight against the venom and died a few days later. People attended the funeral and offer their condolences, so the farmer slaughtered the goat and offer the food to the people who attended the funeral.
So the pigeon, rooster, and goat were slaughtered. They thought the rat trap won't have any effect on their life and that's why they made fun of the rat. The same rat who was still alive and left the farmer's home for their safety.
The lesson we should also learn from this is that always offer a helping hand to everyone even if we don't get any benefit from it. Offer your help even before others ask for it. Stop saying "this is not my problem" and start helping even if it's not your problem. No matter if it's your problem, it can become your problem. Live for others not just yourself.
Remember if it's another's problem, eventually it will become your problem one day. A problem for one person will become the problem of the community, and the problem of the community will become the problem of the nation. That's why before it becomes a problem for everyone, try to help in resolving it.
A fire in the neighborhood can reach your home one day so it's better to extinguish the fire before it reaches your home. I have seen people don't care when something terrible is happening to others. They think it's not their problem because it's not happening to them but eventually, the same terrible thing starts to happen to them other people also don't bother and this chain keeps on going forever. But when one person offers help and gets successful in stopping the terrible thing, it stops and never happens to anyone again.

My report of February
**Article # 112**
**Dated: 1st March 2022**
February has passed so fast. February only has 28 days but still, life is passing with the speed of Ferrari. Years have become short like months, months have become weeks, weeks have become days, days have become hours. We always plan about our future and we think our life will be so long but unfortunately, it has become shorter and shorter.
Anyways, I am writing this article about my previous month's report which is not so good. Even worst than the month of January but we should always be grateful for what we accumulate. Low accumulation is far better than no accumulation.
Noise.cash Report
So I accumulated 0.108 BCH worth $31.34 in January but I accumulated only 0.045 BCH worth $15.03 in February. And the funny thing is it will be even much worse in march because I don't receive free tips from noise.cash these days. 🤣 I really really really hope noise.cash would get better and we would be able to enjoy the platform as we used to in old good days.
Lol, the subscription ratio is even worse than the accumulation. I have managed to gain only two subscribers while I had managed to gain 19 subscribers in the month of February. 🤣
So I would hope we get to see a good change in the noise.cash.
Read.cash Report
Read.cash accumulation is not bad. I had managed to accumulate 0.12 BCH worth $36.43 in January while I have managed to accumulate 0.101 BCH worth $33.26. So it's not bad in my opinion because I have skipped publishing articles for quite someday so this accumulation is justified.
I have gained only 1 subscriber which is great because gaining subscribers in read.cash is not easy. And I am not active enough as I don't comment on others' articles that's why my subscription gain rate is quite slow.
I had 6 subscribers in the month of January and now I have lost one.
The reason might be skipping publishing articles for some days. I have managed to publish only 15 articles in February.
Binance Trading Report
I have done a bit of trading before but I am not a full-time trader. So I have started full-time trading from now on and I am also recording all my trades. Hopefully, I will be able to start sharing the Binance trading report with you guys in sha Allah. I am not a greedy trader and I am doing trading patiently. But I don't have the proper knowledge of it and I am using only my common sense hopefully, I will learn about the trading tricks with experience in sha Allah. I believe trading will make it easy for me to achieve my resolution of achieving 3 BCH this year.
Summary
So I have managed to accumulate 0.146 BCH worth $48.09. I have 2.201 BCH right now. Unfortunately, it would have been 2.26 BCH but I converted 0.05 BCH to fiat as I needed some money for some home expenses. This is the first time I converted my BCH to fiat. Hopefully, I wont need to convert in the future in sha Allah.
Article about Random Stuff in the office
**Article # 111**
**Dated: 28th February 2022**
Finally, the progress of the task is started which I was talking about in my previous articles. Do read my previous articles if you want to get a proper idea about what task I am talking about. The links are given below
https://read.cash/@Usmanshoaib/article-about-random-stuff-again-74825b1f
https://read.cash/@Usmanshoaib/new-hurdles-in-the-office-af2fb4f9
The digging was completed on Thursday but unfortunately, rain wasted our two days that's why we started installing cameras today and hopefully, the wireless link will be established tomorrow so I can give the job finished report to my boss which he is eagerly waiting right now. 🤣
So this is my team guy who is working all the work. I am only the supervisor and he is doing all the work. Kudos to him. Anyways, I told him working on a bucket cran in height is not an easy job. I have a severe kind of height phobia so that's why I can't even look down from heights. He looked confident and he told me it would be easy as he is not scared of heights. He installed those cameras below and he didn't look scared but he tried to reach the top for deploying the wireless device. He looked terrified because it was almost 40-45 feet high from the ground and the problem is, bucket crane single from such long heights. It does not look like it's much height in the picture that's why I look in the picture below to see the exact height.
Now see how tiny he looks at that height. 🤣 Anyways, 2 CCTV cameras are installed in long height and the remaining two cameras are needed to install in normal heights so it would be easy to install tomorrow in sha Allah.
I don't know why but when you are in a hurry to finish a job, something always delays it and luck does not show any support on your side. When the civil team was doing the work, they needed to cut the concrete for digging so they used a hammer for it. The hammer was new and they issued it from our warehouse department but when they blew chisel for breaking the concrete a few times the hammer broke. I have never seen a hammer break, so either it was my bad luck or the hammer was pathetic.
So I asked them to bring another hammer and they took two hours to borrow from another department and they started working. But something happened which made me blame my bad luck rather than blaming the quality of the tools.
Chisel broke into two pieces. I was like come on man, not again. Now I have to wait for another hour or two to be working. But luckily they have another chisel in the backup so it didn't waste our time.
I am really tired today so time to finish my article.
Thank you guys for reading it.
Thank you so much @PVMihalache for sponsorship renewal. Thanks for constantly supporting me :)

I remember how scary and terrifying that night was
***Article # 110***
***Dated: 25th February 2022***
The problem with rumor is that it spreads like a wildfire. People don't use their brain if the rumor is true or not, they believe in it and they take their part by spreading it ahead. One such rumor spread in my area when I was a kid. I was a kid so I didn't realize if it was true or not, when I saw my parents believing in that rumor, I believed it too.
I don't remember the day exactly but it was the month of February in the year 2005. I was only 14 years older and I was in the 8th class. It was the time when telecommunication was not advanced enough in our country, especially in rural areas like yours. I remember only one tower of a Paktel telecommunication company was deployed in our village. And we didn't see a tower other than that. Mobile phones were not advanced enough and people used to have Nokia 3310 that was not easy to break and we used to call it brick. 🤣 My dad used to have a cell phone and we also had a landline number by that time.
I remember I was sleeping when I heard my mom receive a call on landline and I heard she got scared while talking on the telephone. It was my uncle who called to inform us that a huge earthquake was about to strike us. Who does not get scared after receiving the news of an earthquake?
I woke up right after I see my scary mom and she went to wake up my brother. It was winter and the time was 4 AM. My father even spread the rumor by contacting our relatives to inform them about the earthquakes so they can also save themselves by leaving their rooms and spending the night in the open. Everyone was terrified and I thought that's it, the world is about to end and doomsday is about to start. It was a freezing night, my dad took me and my brother to perform the morning prayer.
We Muslims pray five times a day but honestly, only a few are able to perform the early morning prayer. Because it's not easy to wake up from insufficient and then leave the warm bed and perform the wudu with water on cold nights.
Mosques are usually full in Friday prayers because Friday prayers are more important in Islam. But I remember the mosque on that morning was even more full than the Friday prayer. There was no empty space left in the mosque. Luckily our Islamic scholar was educated so he gave a sermon after the prayer. He told the people that there is no way the scientists can predict the exact time and place of the earthquake. Our people found his talk very relaxing and everyone was calmed after his speech.
I remembered this whole incident after watching the 2012 movie again.
Then the life started to become normal until we witnessed a devastating earthquake on 5th October 2005. It was so disastrous as thousands of people lost their lives to it. After this earthquake, people in my area started their speculations as they believe it was the same earthquake that was rumored to happen a few months.
Unfortunately, nobody can shut the mouth of fools.

Pros and Cons of Flying Cars
**Article # 109**
**Dated: 24th February 2022**
Yesterday I published an article about the brief history of attempts at flying cars. I will try to write about the pros and cons of flying cars in real life. But you should definitely read my previous article. Link is given below.
https://read.cash/@Usmanshoaib/brief-history-of-attempt-at-flying-cars-7c361383
Pros of Flying Cars
1) Time Saving
Life has become so fast and it looks like everyone has time deficiency and they are unable to manage their time efficiently. And nowadays, we have seen a huge influx of vehicles as almost everyone owns a vehicle or motorcycle and we see a long queue of cars waiting on the road as traffic has increased. Even the roads have become short these days and governments are trying to overcome this issue by building new roads but it does not look like it would be solved soon.
That's why flying cars would be a huge blessing these days. It would definitely save a lot of time as it won't face any traffic issues and also the aerial distance is a lot shorter than covering a distance by road. Flying cars would definitely cover the distance a lot faster because there would be no traffic in their route.
2) Energy Efficiency
Flying cars are more energy-efficient as compared to helicopters. A BMW car engine was used in Aircar developed by the Slovakian company named Klein Vision. So it would be run by less fuel as compared to helicopters. And it is run by a car engine so it won't be difficult to use an electric car engine in the future. Thats why it is very good for the environment and it looks like flying cars can be a perfect replacement for helicopters.
Also normally cars take a long time to cover long distances but flying cars would be able to do it fastly which will reduce the fuel consumption in the comparison of normal cars.
3) No need for building separate infrastructure
We build roads for cars, lay railway tracks for trains, dug tunnels for metros but we don't need to build new infrastructure for flying cars, and the same infrastructure that already existed can be used for it.
4) Flying cars can be used for emergency purposes
It can be used for emergency services like ambulances, fire engines, or for police. Normally it takes a lot of time for ambulances to cover distance but it can be reduced by using flying cars.
Cons of Flying Cars
1) Bad weather issues
Flying Cars can not have a flight in bad weather. Normally, airplanes are big so they can bear the heavy wind and bad weather but it would be impossible for tiny cars to bear it. So it would be impossible for a flying car to have any flight in bad weather.
2) Accidents chances
Accidents would start to happen when many people would start to buy flying cars. Normally, when our car gets broken we can park it to check the issue but it won't be possible for flying cars.
3) Noise Pollution
We can't even bear the noise of a small drone so imagine how noisy would be a flying car. It's too noisy and it won't be feasible to fly it in urban areas. New innovation would be needed to overcome the issue of noise.
Closing Thoughts
We have seen the evolution of flying cars. You can tell the difference between the first flying car and the latest aircar. But a lot of new innovations would be needed to make flying cars the new normal. I mean it would be amazing to see cars flying in the air and making our life easier and facilitating it.

Brief History of Attempt At Flying Cars
**Article # 108**
**Dated: 23rd February 2022**
I have seen many old sci-fi movies in which the future was predicted. But my center of attraction in those movies was flying cars. I mean how fascinating it would be if I can fly aerial to my home. It would be just amazing to take the aerial route straight from my office to my home.
My driving route is 123 Km while the aerial route is just 81 km so it would have definitely a lot of my time. 🤣
Anyways, I always get fascinated by the idea of flying cars. It definitely would save a lot of our time and it will also save us from a lot of anxiety which we feel on the road due to heavy traffic on the road which always wastes a lot of our time.
So I was surfing through youtube and watching a lot of unnecessary videos and killing my time but I suddenly saw a thumbnail of a video about the invention of the flying car. I didn't waste a second and clicked on it. The video was informative a lot as the Youtuber explained about the previous inventions of flying cars and I was quite stunned because I thought flying cars is something futuristic but I didn't know some genius people tried to invent flying cars even 100 years ago.
First Attempt of building the Flying car by the name Autoplane
So the first attempt was made in 1917 by Glenn Curtiss. It was made like an airplane made for navigating on the road and it was named Autoplane. It was even named Limousine of the year. They did try to fly it and it lifted off the ground but unfortunately, it couldn't fly properly and it turned out to be a failure.
2nd Attempt by the name of "The Aerobile"
The 2nd attempt was made in 1933 by Waldo Waterman. It was an aeroplane that looked like a car and it did successfully take the flight but unfortunately, it never went to production because it was the time of the great depression. So there was not enough fund to produce it.
3rd Succesful Attempt by the name "Airphibian"
This successful attempt was made in the year 1945 by American inventor Robert Edison Fulton. It looked like a proper aeroplane but the only difference is the front part could be detached. Only 5 minutes were needed to covert the aeroplane into a car and which exactly looked like the frontal part of an aeroplane. It was quite an innovation in that era and it even received a flight certificate from the civil aviation authority but the only problem is it was not an efficient car or plane because of compromise in the design. And also the company didn't get any investors because it was the time of financial crisis due to world war II.
4th Failed attempt by the name "Convaircar"
It was a failed attempt made in the year 1947 by Henry Dreyfuss. This looked like a car stuck with an aeroplane on it. It also needed 5 minutes to convert aeroplane into a car. It did successfully with the flight test but unfortunately, it crashed on the third try. The reason was pilot thought the fuel was enough in the car after checking the meter reader but the fuel was enough in the car part and it was not in the aeroplane tank which resulted in the crash.
5th Attempt by the name Taylor's Aerocar
The main problem was all these inventors tried to combine a car and an aeroplane and tried to make a flying car. They needed to detach the plane part when we needed the car and attach it when we needed a flying car. A true flying car would be one that can be transformed from an aeroplane to a car and which are not combined and we don't need to detach the plane part if we want to use it as a car.
So Moulton Taylor made an attempt in 1949 by building a flying car with foldable wings so that if it has to be used as a car the wings can be folded and do not need any detachment. It was not as Taylor's Aerocar. They got the certification and also the approval for mass production but they needed at least 500 orders before mass production could begin. But they could not get even 500 orders because not many people were interested in flying cars at that time so the deal got canceled.
Jetson Airplane 1
All the previous attempts were made in a time when technology was not advanced enough and the lack of technology advancement was the reason why previous attempts got failed. Also, lack of money was the reason behind the failures. But now the technology is highly advanced right and we also don't see any lack in the funds as compared to 1950.
A Swedish company by the name of Jetson Aero presented their Jetson 1 Airplane in October 2021. It does not look like a car and it rather looks like a drone as it flies like a drone and a single person can sit under it and pilot it. It didn't need any space from taking off and it's very lightweight because only aluminum is used in it. The drawback is that it cannot be used during the night and it can not be flown over city traffic. But their cofounder has said that they are not trying to solve a problem in the world and he claims it is only fun to fly it. SO Jetson 1 cannot be termed as a flying car as it cant run on the roads.
Slovakian Company made an attempt of Flying car
Slovakian Company by the name Klien Vision presented a flying car by the name Aircar last month. It is a successful car invention that made a successful flight between intercity in June last year in Slovakia. It received the certificate from the aviation authorities. This is the first flying car that looks like a flying car. BMW car is used as a base and wings are attached to it. No special fuel is needed for flying it and the petrol provided at the petrol pump is enough to fly it.
Closing thoughts
Technology is touching the new skies and we will see so many new innovations in the near future. I will publish an article about the advantages and disadvantages in the next article because my article is taking long enough time to read so it would be better to write another article about the pros and cons.
Thank you for reading it.
Article About Random Stuff : Again 🥱
**Article # 107**
**Dated: 22 February 2022**
So yesterday, I could not publish an article just because I didn't want to get out of my comfort zone and keep on watching movies. Which I was doing again today until I decided to stop wasting my time and start writing an article because I know I will regret tomorrow for skipping publishing an article like I regret all day today. 🤣 But I didn't have any topic so I thought I should write an article about random stuff happening in my life. And it's not new because most of my articles are about random stuff. 🤣
Another hurdle appeared in the way of office work
So another hurdle appeared in the way of the task assigned by my boss. For better understanding, you should read my 100th article. The link is given below.
https://read.cash/@Usmanshoaib/new-hurdles-in-the-office-af2fb4f9
We needed to deploy a pole for installing some cameras and a wireless device for wireless connectivity which needed to be installed on the height for a clear line of sight. So finally the pole is installed though it wasted also a week because the cement was short on our project but finally our procurement department brought the cement. And we installed it finally.
So I contacted the horticulture department to send some laborers to do dining for cables. We needed to layout the cable underground. They sent their two laborers two hours late but they didn't have any required tools like shovel and mattock. They were using small shovels which can be used for gardening and it's not feasible for digging. Luckily our warehouse department had shovel and mattock so they give them and they started working.
But unfortunately, they had to stop their work due to rain. I mean it's fortunate that the rain started as it was needed. But not good in our case as the management want us to finish this task like a week before and my boss is putting a lot of pressure on me. I am trying my best but if it rains then the task will be delayed. And if it doesn't rain and hopefully, our labor finish the work then I am sure I will be able to finish the task in two days in sha Allah.
My boss wants me to make a report about all the tasks I have completed and tasks which are still in progress. Because he needs to be in coordination meeting where he the management will ask about the tasks. The meeting will start in the early morning so I have to reach office early and make my report with these pictures printed as my boss will show these pictures to the management and inform them that the task got delayed due to other departments negligence.
Case of Fraud on our Project
**Article # 106**
**Dated: 18th February 2022**
I could not publish the article yesterday because I arrived late from the office and I was tired like hell. I am going to share the reason in today's article.
So yesterday when I was about to leave my office as my duty time was about to end, I received a call from our security head. He asked me to visit our site office as a case of theft has happened outside our office. Someone has stolen a brand new car from a real estate agent outside his office. So he is asking us to check the footage on our CCTV camera.
I coordinated with my boss for permission and he permitted me to go over there and provide the required footage. When I arrived, I saw a cop along with the real estate agent. I took them to our CCTV monitoring room and provided the required footage. Unfortunately, the CCTV was not high quality as it provided a bit blurry footage when we zoomed in to identify the face of the person. But the real estate agent claimed he will take it to forensic and clear up his face so it will be recognizable.
I asked the real estate agent what happened? He told me that they put the ad on OLX of this vehicle as they wanted to sell it. This fraudster contacted me and we agreed on a deal. So we asked him to visit us and check the car. If he agrees after that he can provide us with the money and take his car. So he visited last Saturday and he provide us with the Pay order (Pay order is different than cheque as its confirmed payment). The fraudster was clever enough as he visited the time when banks were closed so they weren't able to verify if the Pay Order is legit or fake. They did the send the picture of it to a bank representative and he claimed that it looks legit but he couldn't verify the serial number in the system as the banks were closed.
So they trusted him blindly and let him drive the car away. Because they thought he would not fraud them as he was suited booted and even spoke a few English sentences with them. We Pakistanis, always get very impressed when someone speaks English fluently because we consider them more knowledgeable which makes me realize our inferiority complex. So it fooled them that's why we should never judge a book by its cover. But when they tried to deposit the Pay Order on Monday they were shocked to know that Pay Order is fake. They soon went to the Police station for registering an FIR. But hope the cops would be able to retrieve the car as it was worth 3.6 Million PKR which is equivalent to almost $21 K.
We checked the CCTV footage and find out he was not alone. He arrived in the taxi and the taxi driver also looked suspicious as he spend more than five minutes leaving the taxi. Also, we saw him meeting other four people who also got together on spot. Two of them arrived on the bikes while two were barefooted. So it looked like it was an organized crime and they worked all as a team. And I am sure it wasn't their first time as they looked very organized and they never showed any sign of fear which made me realize as everyone shows a sign of fear when they are committing a crime for the first time.
Anyways, I thought the person whose vehicle is stolen would be sad and angry but he looked very relaxed and he even joked with me. I thought I would have ended up having a heart attack if someone stole my car worth $21 K. 🤣 He was very relaxed which made me realize they are earning a lot of money that's why they don't even feel a thing after such a loss.
So I checked the footage with them for straight four hours that's why I felt tired and could not publish the article last night. He thanked me as I helped him retrieve the footage and he didn't expect that so he thanked me many times. And I was happy I helped him and I wish he would be able to recover his car and catch the fraudster so he can never fraud someone else again. We gave the cops enough clues and footage so it really depends on them if they are being able to solve the case.
I hope they would recover it and he even promised a party if they recovered the car. But the trouble is the car was not registered as it was brand new.
**I hope you guys would also have learned two lessons from this article.**
**1)** Don't judge a book by its cover and don't start trusting anyone on the basis of that judgment. Always check everything and every spot when it comes to money. Look into every detail and never believe in anyone's word. Don't trust anyone blindly.
**2)** Always verify the bank documents like cheques and Pay orders if they are legit or fake. Don't take anyone's word for it. Ask the banks to verify it in their systems. Don't take the decision in the hurry and don't take greed take away your conscience.

Two Lessons life teaches us
**Article # 105**
**Dated: 16th February 2022**
Life teaches several lessons to everyone. Wise does learn the lesson and does not repeat the same mistake and fools keep on repeating it. I hope you guys would have heard that it is not a fool who makes a mistake but he who repeats it.
There are many lessons that life can teach us but I am going to write about only two lessons.
I am sure each and every one of you guys have learned some lessons from the mistakes you have committed in your life. But the trouble is there are some mistakes that a person keeps on repeating.
Never reveal your pain and sorrow to anyone
Never express your pain and the bad situation you are going through right now. Your love has broken your heart? Your heart is aching because someone has broken your trust and they have stabbed you in the back? Try to not even inform your close ones about it. Because they will eventually mock you for it and they would never realize how much pain it was for you. You would realize you have made a mistake by sharing your sorrow with them but they end up making fun of it. They believe you would have forgotten the pain that's why they joke about it. So the best thing is to not tell anyone instead of wishing I had not told anyone.
But the trouble is you keep on repeating this one mistake and never stopped repeating it. The reason is you feel your pain would be lessened if you share it with someone else without realizing they would consider it comedy after some time and they would make it a matter of fun in front of others. I am a man if I cry in front of someone because I can't tolerate the pain anymore and some tears ease up my pain, people will judge me for that. That's why men cry in private when no one is watching and they always cry at night because they don't fear people might notice their eyes have turned red.
Always value the time before the time pass
You will see so many people in your life who didn't value the time before it passes. You would see laborers wishing for education. They didn't value education and now they fancy white-collar jobs because they are working in the cool offices while the laborers are doing the labor work in the harsh weather.
Some people realize they have wasted their time. Some of them try to work hard after the realization but some keep on wasting it because they think they cant make up for the wasted time. So the best thing is to value the time because the biggest problem with time is it passes and you may never realize it.
So if you think you are way behind, you are wrong as you can make up for the wasted time. If you think you are late and you should have invested in crypto five years ago, you are wrong because you can still invest in it and enjoy the benefits from it.
