Three Lessons from three idiots

  Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Three lead Actors from Three Idiots Bollywood Movie Movies are always a great way to learn about life. They are more than just mere entertainment. If one were to look at movies for innovation purposes, they provide modern ideas that reflect the true aspiring future of modern civilization. Three idiots is one of those jolliest yet innovative movies that is available to watch on YouTube and get fascinated with the fervor of innovation and intelligence.

Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan: A Nuclear Scientist

 Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Unsung Pakistani Hero Pakistan has faced tremendous security issues from its eastern border since its inception. Security was a big challenge for Pakistan back then and still today. However, things have changed since Pakistan developed its Nuclear Weapons.  Due to Nuclear power, Pakistan feels calm as the intensity of warfare has substantially lowered down to a small magnitude since it became a Nuclear Weapon state on 28 May 1998. And without the magnificent contributions of Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan and Dr. Abdul Salam, it would have taken Pakistan another century to build a nuclear deterrent to the scale it has reached today.  This morning, the legendary  Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan’s  (April 1, 1936 – October 10, 2021) soul has departed this mortal world; however, the legacy of his life’s achievement would live on and continue to enlighten the scientific society in Pakistan for centuries to come.

How to pick a book that matches your interest?

 Waqar Ahmed |   The Productivity Science Art of selecting a good book. These days free pdf books have made it easier for us to pick any book and start reading. Perhaps that’s not a correct statement. I have over 200 pdf books stored on different gadgets but barely have I clicked on any of those books.  Reading a book is different from the absorption of information available inside it. Understanding the context of a book is different from agreeing on everything written inside that book. As the legend says, “the true learning comes when you start disagreeing with the book you read.” Disagreeing is not possible until you pick the book in your hands or click the pdf on your phone. The understanding and absorption of information are all connected. However, this blog is about helping you pick up the book in your hands and start reading it and never feel giving up during the process. Books are thoughts transmitted by the artist in the format of words. These are my thoughts that you are rea

US-Pakistan Relationship in the wake of Afghan situation

Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Pak-US Relations (A brief insight) Pakistan and the US are currently in warm waters. This has happened as a result of the apocalyptic Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. On the United States side, it has always opted for aggressive policy decisions when it comes to dealing with developing South Asian countries and Pakistan is no exception to this case. The fall of Kabul on 15 August enunciated the weak policymaking of US stakeholders. And unlike any other neighbor of Afghanistan, Pakistan shares strong socio-cultural values with the country. It is not an option for Pakistan to cut off itself from its western part. Consequently, Pakistan has always been supportive of Afghan stability because instability there would directly disrupt the peace and stability in its own borders. Given the emerging circumstances in the region, the United States as usual discredited Pakistan for its positive role in Afghan stability and maneuvered the situation by mischarac

What makes 2021 Physics Nobel Prize special?

Waqar Ahmed | The Productivity Science Physics Noble Prize Laureates This year Physics Noble Prize has been divided among three Scientists: Syukoro Manabe (USA) Klaus Hasselmann (Germany) Giorgio Parisi (Italy) The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences committee jointly decided to award these three scientists with the Noble Prize in Physics. The work of the three Laureates is different in various aspects however they share monotony in solving the complex problems of the world with the help of physics. The work of two Laureates Syukoro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann is related to climate change, how it affects the world today following the continuing burning of greenhouse gases since the Industrial Revolution. They have designed computer models that help measure the earth’s climate and predict how far the environment would be increasing because of the rising global warming. Manabe in his research discovered that if you double the CO2 in the atmosphere, the temperature would increase b
