Humein Tou Koi Information Nahin Hai...

"Humein Tou Koi Information Nahin Hai" the most cherished sentence of the office staff at University of Karachi,most of us are pretty familiar with this sentence and those who aren't will get used to it soon.

A day before Ramzan begins,you go to the office to enquire about the new timings and the reply you receive is"Humein tou ab tak koi information nahin mili" dont you feel like banging your head!,Its completely understandable that it is the duty of the Dean office to distribute the timetable amongst the departments,but it's equally the responsibility of the office staff to keep pressing them until they provide you with the desired information,but that's such a tough job,whose going to do it??? Anyways this was the story of just one department,there is another way ahead then this one.

Here is this International Relations department,and beleive me it really is an "International" department and soon it is going to get a place in the Guinness Book as it has broken all records of being "Highly Informed" and they beleive in providing the students with as much information as they can,which is equal to zero! because at the beginning of every semester one can see students roaming helplessly around the corridors in search of their classrooms about which they are not informed.And how can one forget,whenever you go to enquire about the presence of teacher or whether teacher is going to take the class or not?,here is the reply by an assistant whom you will usually find chit chatting on the telephone,"aap unke office mein jakar dekhlein" I mean if we would have found the teacher in their office then why on earth we would have come here to disturb your conversation? this is the line most of us think,but abstain ourselves from voicing out of mere courtesy.

I use to hear this quiet often that non-teaching staff is negligent of their duties but experienced it when I set my feet in the University of Karachi.
