Is this what we call unity..?

By Fahad Ullah

It all started on the 29th of July when horrific scenes of flood devastation flashed across our television screens. B y the end of the following weekend, students and teachers from University of Karachi took an immediate action.
A large number of student volunteers started several activities on their own. They formed camps at various stations within the campus and mobilized some of the students to collect money department to department, rather class to class.
The number of volunteers is growing and this is one of the strengths of our nation- youth willing to work hard and help their brothers in need. The fund raising campaign continues. Care has been taken to collect what is required. I have also been a part of assembling and packing process.
Everything seems in place! But by now, what we all probably have noticed is the element of “individualism”. Be it the students of all the departments or the teaching staff, we all aren’t working collectively as one whole unit. When we all have one common goal then why not one team? Don’t’ we know that an effort is most effective when made as a team or are there some other reasons to justify this “apna apna” trend?
