Review by Haleema Munir,AIMC, Faisal Inayat,AIMC, Sadaf Hafeez,K.E.M.U Atika Jabeen,AIMC ( Project Director) It is not uncommon to find medical students who are in the final year of their MBBS but still are completely unaware of the course they are to adopt for the post-graduation studies. A huge majority of these youngsters are negligent of most of the postgraduate programs being offered locally as well as abroad. 'Failing to plan is planning to fail' As an antidote to this lack of awareness with respect to the career opportunities for medical students, International Federation of Medical Students’ Association, Local Council (AIMC), organized a “ Career Guidance Seminar for Medical Students ” in collaboration with AIMCON. The event was a huge success with maximum participation from medical students from medical colleges from all over the city.

“Would you tell me please which way I ought to walk from here?” ‘That depends on a good deal on where you want to get to,’ said the Cat. ‘I don’t  much care where--’ said Alice “Then it doesn’t matter which way to walk,”said the Cat. (Alice’s adventures in Wonderland) So It is very important to ‘begin with the end in mind’ as Sean Covey phrases it. Previously It was  the dream of coming into KEMU behind my every action.  Every test that I rattalized in FSc, Every night that I spent with those extremely boring books was  Yes, for the 'Greater Good.’ And then time passed and Allah by His Kindness granted me KEMU. So What further now? Study. Ok.

By Usama Irshad Morning. December 13,2012. As the car rounded that last bend in the road that connects the Mall to the Old Anarkali and leads directly to KE,I was suddenly reminded of the intensity of my feelings for this hallowed place. Nestled in the very heart of this beautiful bazaar so aptly named 'Anarkali'(after Salim's favorite concubine),lay,its magnificent domes glistening white in the early morning sunlight,King Edward Medical University. Little did I know that in those first brief looks I was falling in love with this place                                                                      KE in oils! Those endless study hours and life-draining MCAT prep-classes(more on that later!) suddenly looked like the best thing that ever happened to me,for if not for them I would never have been standing where I stood at that moment....

For the gift you have, persist! (A synopsis of All Pakistan Aspiring Writers’ Convention, 2013 at LUMS) So! That entire furor over the hot LUMS writing competition and almost everyone asking one another, “yar ap ne LUMS ke lie writing submit kara di?” finally did end and the event took place on Sunday, March 31, 2013. For those who couldn’t make it to the gathering, here is a gist of what happened there (Focusing majorly on the productive discussions by some literary people) Initially, there was a panel discussion scheduled on the topic “ 'How Creative Writing Can Serve Both as a Passion and a Source of living. ”, the speakers for the panel being Ali Usman Qasmi, Farrukh Khan and Aysha Raja, plus CEO of Ferozesons publishers was among them too (As far as I can recall)
