prior to my stroke, in my contacting life, my company, pigas, was widely known as a contractor who will execute jobs fast, the record being laying 1km. of 8in gas pipeline in a day.for 10 years of my life, speed was an essential part. post stroke, i have had to learn patience in every respect. i have to forget about instant gratification, just lay the groundwork and surrender to god to determine the outcome. it is a painful lesson, but something which i have no choice of because of my disability. the only consolation is that i have had the benefit of both methodology.

inefficiency in smi/sme logistics,

i observed that a majority of sme/smi's have a disproportionate amount of capital and operating expenses and time tied up in in-house logistics capability, capital costs and operating overheads of at least at rgt 2k ea at the very least. this inefficiency can be easily corrected by outsourcing their logistics function. smi/sme's would be better off to focus on their core activity of manufacturing and marketing

second wife

for a brief 6 months, i had experienced the joy and pain of a second wife,i would conclude that the joy is minimal , more pain and stress on top of cost, so it is not an efficient way to lead ones life , much better if you can find a wife that meets all the criterias. sex is overrated, peace of mind is much better

what happened to me???

many times i have wrestled in my mind, of who among the two , i.e. iqbal feiruz khan or azeez rahim was the evil devil, syaitan. iqbal felt that i victimised him and thus his reaction was justifiable, azeez was the facilitator, so who???., the answer that came to me was that both were devil reincarnate, whose prime motive was the inflict of evil on others. would both go to hell??. i do not know, that is not within me to determine. the only thing i am certain is that surely people like iqbal feiruz and azeez will one day be 6 foot undeground just like all of us. only moral and advise to others that i can dispense is stay away from mamaks if you can, these people will sell their grandmother for earthly gains, surely ALLAH will take care of them, if not in this world, perhaps in the hereafter.
