The Man Who Changed History

Asif Ali Zardari, the man who changed the history of Pakistan, he took over the Aiwan-e-saddar on 9 September 2008 as the 11^th president of Pakistan. His initial work started by calling Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, which helped deepen the relations of Pakistan. Later he went to UN where the most successful work he did was to basically develop better relationship with Indian Prime Minister.

But the above mentioned facts are just not enough to say that he changed history. The reasons that forced us to give him the title of the man who changed history is firstly and fore mostly that he was able to maintain his presidency for the complete 5 year period and that is something never happened in Pakistan before. He though faced a lot of criticism was able to keep army satisfied and prevented another martial law in the country.

Moreover, his reign was the first reign where one democratic government gave their control to another government. Though people reported rigging in the election yet Pakistan was surely able to complete one era of democratic government. Further on we saw that media criticized him and his government a lot yet he showed a positive attitude and prevented to take any harsh actions on banning them.

Moving towards his energy policy, he signed a really great agreement that is the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, $500 million, controversial project. This is the project that basically deals in by bringing gas all the way from Iran to Pakistan. Moreover, he also signed an agreement in the trans- afghan gas pipeline project. Hence making sure that in coming year Pakistan is able to deal with the upcoming energy crisis issue.

Lastly, to sum it all up he was the president who faced all the most controversial issue like his prime minister being derailed, the Swiss-bank issue and many other related stuff. But we can say that he did took a lot of tough decisions that were necessary for Pakistan at that time. Therefore, I would be concluding by saying, Asif Ali Zardari is, the man who changed history.

Before The TED Talk -An Autobiography Part 2

“It took me 6 months to score an admission, and those 6 months I was once again in the closet. I mean I literally didn't talk to anyone, and I was all socially awkward back. But once I reached my University that was away from my own city, I chose like most out-of-state students to stay on-campus. This gave me a whole new way to look at my life and learn new things. Living in a hostel, on-campus taught me a lot of things, from how can people manipulate you to do something for them and then leave you right in the middle and also taught me how to make new friends. It taught me how to survive on my own and the best part, it brought out from within me my hidden sarcastic self. Sometimes, I do hate my sarcastic self. Still, this sarcastic self within me later proved to be one reason I was liked by the audience at open-mics and stand-ups. Living in the hostel made me independent, I learned how to tackle my situations alone, and I became this contained person. I showed everyone...

Before The TED Talk -An Autobiography Part 1

It was 8:00 am and like always, I was late. "I had to be at the talk at around 9:45, but oh my, I woke up at 8:00", I said to myself, "for God's sake, hurry up. You're speaking in this Ted Talk. I mean, wasn't this your all-time dream." To which my brain replied, "Hahaha! Yeah. But you know the rule, Ahmed, sleep rules over everything." I jolted myself up from the bed and rushed into the bathroom, quickly dressed myself up. I didn't pay much attention to what I was wearing, and it was like I was just throwing clothes all over me. One after the other and then other until eventually, I looked in the mirror and found myself all ready and set for the talk. At least that's what I thought. I didn't have much time, and I still have to prepare my speech; therefore, I opted for an Uber. Now, I am someone who uses Uber Pool and that too with walk option. But I was in a rush. I also knew opting for the usual would delay me to my fi...
