A magnificent fun-filled motivational session of “IUNC RATIOCINATION”

A magnificent fun-filled motivational session was organized by Iqra University - North Campus on Sunday, 14th Oct, ‘IUNC Ratiocination' where influential names of the Media & PR industry joined Mr. Owais Rabbani, Miss Aaniya Jabbar, Mr. Rizwan Choudhry, and Mr. Usman Mazhar shared their ultimate experiences to help out students for their future career challenges. FM91 was the Radio Partner as their broadcast media.

I was invited by Hamza J. Sheikh to attend “IUNC RATIOCINATION” and give blog coverage to the entire event, for which I am honored to be part of such a great event organized where I myself learned different parameters of PR and marketing being a digital marketer and blogger. Plus, this event has given me a huge motivation that what I am doing and how I am doing is right and I should follow my path. Sooner or later, with constant dedication, I will get to the destination. The event began with the welcome note of Hamza J.Sheikh and then followed by speaker’s sessions.

Mr. Rizwan Choudhry

Mr. Rizwan Choudhry the phenomenal leading real-life counselor and master speaker shared his experiences how difficult life was and how he combats the difficult ties to get at this stage. One of his best sayings was, “make your vision clear what you want to do and what you are doing”? He gave so many real-life experiences examples how to make life simple. The best one of these is “start giving favor you will be amazed to see the results it gives you.” “You will start receiving the favors too”.  Moving ahead, he further shed some light on how we could utilize the content and produce some fruitful results, out the available content. We have so much work to do in the market that us beyond our imagination, only we have to utilize our skills efficiently and effectively to our niche, he added while giving tips and tricks to media sciences students as carrier advice.

Mr. Usman Mazhar

Mr. Usman Mazhar an actor and a standup comedian started off his speech from a very energetic activity to bring some energy back among the students and guests. At the end, of the activity when everyone was charged enough he gave a quick professional introduction, which followed his real-life early childhood activities to the date he became a great actor. He shared boldly and bluntly how innocent he was when he was young and shared his adorable naughtiness. He shared how he got fascinated with those cartoon characters and old Hindi songs played on VCR. Coming back to getting associated with media science he said, “It was pretty difficult to convince family especially the father who is a little bit dicey, and brothers had a different opinion since all of them were associated with corporate jobs. Since I have done my graduation in computer science and then did MBA, so everyone in the family thinks that I should be more looking towards the corporate sector. But, frankly, I had no interest in the corporate job. In fact, I tried but I wasn’t satisfied. So I left and followed and listen to my heart voice and get into the field of acting”.  He further said that was the turning point for him and his entire career because finally, he chooses the right path.

In addition, Mr. Usman Mazhar also shared with us how he started his career by simply giving tuitions to students. Later, adopted it as a profession for a small period of time since he enjoys teaching but his ultimate goal is to be an actor. For which, he had been through many ups and downs yet he didn’t step back keep on moving. He said, there was a single thing that stopped me from achieving my goal, and the reason is, I have confined “Passion” for it, he added. Like, Mr. Rizwan Choudhry, Mr. Usman Mazhar also stressed on one point that, we need to find out what we want and how eagerly we want it? And, to get the answer for this, we need to discover ourselves”- Self Exploration. But, remember self-exploration will never end, it will continue every time we will come to know about a new thing hidden inside us. Again, he said, one thing needed to be kept in mind, “whatsoever we do, it must reflect the passion we have for it”. Then, only we will be able to feel the great pleasure of winning the battle in the ground.

Besides, he shared some of his great experience when he entered stepped into the theatre. Usman, at this point, shared how hard it was for him to prove his directors that he is the chosen one and that how passionate he is for acting. Nevertheless, he is said to be the great inspiration for all of us especially for the students who are seeking their career as a acting, anchor or in any form in media.

Mr. Owais Rabbani

Mr. Owais Rabbani a renowned TV host and great motivational speaker, he started off his speech by praising Allah Almighty and P.B.U.H and then appreciates to all the speakers for what they said. In his words, he said, “I heard all the speakers and what they said, is true and spoken their directly from the heart, for which I salute them”. Since he was running out of time, he quickly came back to the topic and shared how this universe and its mechanism is running under the guided supervision of the creator our master “ALLAH”. He then linked that to our daily lives and the way it is connected to it. He then gave the example of Thomas Edison, that one positive approach of his mother changed his entire life and he became scientists from a school dropped out kid. If at that very point, his mother wouldn’t have taken that decision and instead she yelled on him, shouted or showed him what in reality his school teachers have given remarks about he would have definitely failed and shattered. Another example he gave is of Shahid Afridi, how he became the great cricketer and what leads to his fall.

With this, the best advice that Mr. Owais Rabbani gave, “choose the right path, the right mentor, take the right decision at the right time and never afraid of failure. It is that failure, which is the next the step of our success. There is no one who doesn’t fail in his life, everyone fails but some learn some just let it go and again get failed.” Another advice that he gave to us, “choose one idol for yourself and follow his footsteps, you will end up achieving your goal easily. You know why? The reason is that now you have the clear vision, a set target and defined a set of rules to be followed.” Before, taking questions, he also shared some real-life examples of Jinnah the great leader and the founder of our nation as he himself inspired by the Jinnah and his life’s struggle.

Ms. Aaniya Jabbar

Ms. Aaniya Jabbar is a PR and Marketing Specialist started off her speech by a brief introduction of her own. Ms. Aaniya shared how she entered in this field and became RJ/DJ and finally marketing/PR specialists. She shared how difficult it was for her to get out of the comfort zone and get into the market and deal with the people. She shared how tough it was for her to convince her family that she wanted to pursue her career in this field. Yet, she remained confined on her goal and keep on moving, having firm believe on Allah that she will get what she wants. Despite facing retaliation she still manages to reach on events to be covered and ensure she complies her duty no matter how tough the situations are. Being associated with FM91, she said, “it was never easy for me to switch from RJ to marketing head, yet I managed to do so. I faced so many challenges and the biggest one is that I wasn’t familiar with computer operations; I learned everything on my job. The only thing that made me stick to my work is my own willingness and courage, which is the most essential especially for girls and I will say like me all of you can do what you want to do, but only if you are eagerly willing.” Before ending she shared some tips and tricks with students seeking their career in PR and marketing.

Here we come to an end of speaker’s sessions, which is then followed by a small question and answers session. The event ended with a thank you note of the Dean of University and followed by refreshment and networking session.

SAMAN ANSARI TO BE SEEN ON-STAGE IN THEATRE PLAY JASOOSI DUNYA

Karachi [2^nd October, 2018] Khaani famed actress Saman Ansari is a multifaceted actor who has been portraying strong roles in leading dramas on Pakistani television. She has been seen on major channels in dramas like; Mr. Shamim, Bin Roye, Sammi, Dar Si Jaati Hai Sila, Mohabbat Tumse Nafrat Hai and many more.

After giving back-to-back hit serials, Saman Ansari has transitioned from the drama industry onto the theatrical stage and will be seen in a resilient character in an upcoming theatre play ‘Jasoosi Dunya.’ The play has been adapted by director Khalid Ahmed from an English play called 'The Psychic' by Sam Bobrick. The story is a murder mystery of sorts filled with fantasy, murder, comedy, romance, action, and as the name suggests, psychic elements.

When asked about Ansari’s transition from drama to theatre, she said, 

"The transition was totally unexpected. I was always fascinated by theatre as a young girl and wanted to learn the methods of acting and techniques of voice projection. Recently, I was surprisingly contacted by one of the brilliant scriptwriters of Pakistan, BeeGul, to be a part of this play. Later, I got a call from director Khalid Ahmed who gave me the lead character of this play".

Being the female lead of 'Jasoosi Dunya', Saman described her character, as, 

"Salma is a beautiful, confident, and an elegant woman, struggling in a terrible marriage. She decides to walk up to a psychic just out of curiosity one day to ease her mind and without realizing it, ends up becoming a muse for his writings as the psychic is actually a murder mystery writer".

As theatre is a different platform than television, Saman Ansari shared her working experience having invested weeks and weeks of rehearsals, vocal training, body movement and perfecting her one take rundown. She also said that a horizontal diversification in any kind of performing arts always helps an actor to progress.

Saman also shared her views about the future of theatre and live performances in the era of Netflix. She added by saying "Netflix, torrents, DVD's, TV on demand, nothing can replace the energy of a live performance. It is imperative for parallel media to support and help promote live performances and theater, but nothing can ever diminish its power to attract an audience. NAPA is infantile but shall grow to be brilliant".

Jasoosi Dunya will premiere on October 4th, 2018 till October 13th, 2018 at NAPA, Karachi.
