Every developed country in the world has societies and organizations dedicated to promote S&T among young scholars. In Pakistan there exist many student organizations since last 50-60 years, but unfortunately, none of them has the above mentioned objective.

Recently, some PhD scholars and PostDoc. scientists/academicians from many universities in Pakistan have started a platform (NAYS- National Academy of Young Scientists) to provide the young Pakistani scientists and engineers with a suitable environment dedicated to scientific collaboration and exchange of ideas & information related to further research, and technical discussion for the betterment & development of Science & Technology in Pakistan. Further details: www.nays.com.pk

NAYS platform is for academic purposes ONLY. It is supposed to fill the large gap of organizational setup between S&T scholars and the esteemed Scientific bodies at national level (e.g. Pakistan Academy of Sciences, www.paspk.org ; Pakistan Council for Science & Technology, www.pcst.org.pk ; and Pakistan Science Foundation, www.psf.gov.pk )

NAYS welcomes scientists and engineers engaged in postgraduate and doctoral level studies to join hands for this noble cause. I request fellow scientists and engineers in the area of S&T, to join this community to strengthen the scientific activities in Pakistan.

For membership, please visit :

There is a very organized forum for discussions related to S&T by NAYS:

There is very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.

He now longed to reach home to see his mother’s face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail.” With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king’s last wishes.

“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “My physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury.

“The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute’s rest and continued. “My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin.”The people who had gathered there wondered at the king’s strange wishes. But no one dare bring the question to their lips.

Alexander’s favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. “O king, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?” Continue reading »

In nearly all the western countries including Europe, the PRIMARY choice for meat is PIG. There are a lot of farms in these countries to A breed this animal. In France alone, Pig Farms account for more than 42,000.

PIGS have the highest quantity of FAT in their body than any other animal. But Europeans and Americans try to avoid fats. Thus, where does the FAT from these PIGS go? All pigs are cut inslaughter houses under the control of the department of food and it was the headache of the department of food to! dispose of the fat removed from these pigs.

Formally, it was burnt (about 60 years ago). Then they thought of utilizing it. First, they experimented it in the making of SOAPS and it worked.

Then, a full network was formed and this FAT was chemically Processed, Packed and Marketed, while the other manufacturing companies bought it. In the meantime, all European States made it a rule that every Food, Medical and Personal Hygiene product should have the ingredients listed on its cover. so, this ingredient was listed as PIG FAT.

Those who are living in Europe for the past 40 years know about this. But, these products came under a ban by the ISLAMIC COUNTRIES at that time, which resulted in a trade deficit. Continue reading »
