memories from the past- Posted July 27 of 2025

Image
A vlogger on youtube was praising the city she was visiting for its natural beauty and the other objects around. That reminded me of 1981 when I went to Eindhoven Netherlands from Karachi Pakistan as Philips Scholarship student. Everything looked different as compared to Karachi, pretty and perhaps I had the simiar feelings as the vlogger. Youtube and vlogging did not exist at that time, so I used photography to document memories. During my student life in Karachi I used public transport buses (in 60s, 70s public transportation vehicles) which were very ancient. In Eindhoven I got the opportunity to travel by luxury coaches with PII students, teachers and Staff group, coaches were like air plane interior, city buses in Eindhoven were different. After completion of my study period in Eindhoven I went back to Karachi via Jeddah and when I was taking to someone about mode of transportation in Netherlands I mentioned that I liked the buses they were not able to understand why I would like ...

memories from the past when I completed my Grade 12 (or HSC as was known in Karachi Pakistan). Posted on July 13 of 2025 in OTTAWA ONTARIO Canada K1G3P2

After I completed my 12 years of schooling HSC (i.e. before getting admission in Engineering School) , I attempted to get inducted in merchant Navy but since I was not stout, I was determined not suitable for merchant navy work, so I joined Karachi Ship yard as an intern (in the drawings/blue prints storage facility) to learn from the Engineers/draftsmen.  Getting admission in Engineering School was tough and based on merit list (starting from the highest marks), lot of candidates used to compete for limited seats.  After about spending one year in intern role at Katachi Shipyard, I decided to quit the job to get back to my path to Engineering Degree, my marks/grades of a year before were still relevant and got me a seat in the Engineering School known as DCET at that time, later on several name changes. It was a triangle of three institutions from start to finish of my degree, DCET, Karach University and N.E.D. University of Engineering. First time ever I used a c...

My Observations, personal feelings, personal opinions, experiences: excessive show of uniformed or security personnel sometimes - Posted July 08 of 2025 Updates July 13 of 2025

Image
In opinion, and perhaps historians might confirm/compare it with the situations in past that Dishonest, unpolpular and corrupt govts use excessive security forces to establish authority and regime on commoners, by putting powerless public in trouble for no real reason, just based on Hoax information, we thought this, and we thought that, we heard this and we heard that, and this might be danger etc. If the govts. were honest and had public support, they will never need to use such excessive forces to run corruption ventures and businesses under the disguise of governance. Such extra uniformed officers reflect on the insecurity of SIG and mock authority and Corrupt governance and will promote and strengthen only corrupt law enforcement, this will happen, if the law enforcement personnel were not inducted in the forces with proper procedures.

OW office Hamilton Canada 2017, Posted on July 08 of 2025

Image
After I moved to Hamilton area in 2017, I was given a meeting with a employment counselor named "Wendy Hamilton" of OW in addition to usual case worker. OW Employment counselor filled some forms on the computer screen and filled some paper forms manually, I noticed that one of the form was filled by my first name as "KhalidMahmood" and rest of the forms were filled by my last name without comma, when I mentioned this to her, got her attention and she looked at the forms again, she acknowledged it in person when I was sitting in front of her in the office. Perhaps some one needed that form by the first name and came to pick it up during the meeting. At that moment when a woman came to pick it up, it never crossed my mind why she was taking it from "Wend Hamilton", I thought perhaps something to do with the employment related meeting, but it was not, it was something else. 

Socially bad vs Legally Bad Posted by Engr. {(male) KhalidMahmood} on July 06 of 2025 in OTTAWA ONTARIO Canada K1G3P2 updated July 08 of 2025.

A person “bad” socially, is different in different cultures and according to family rules. Where as a person “bad” legally or “bad” from law enforcement point of view is a dangerously “bad” criminal because has no respect for the legal system of the country. Criminals and illegals are “Legally bad” based on the law of the land. Socially bads are politically motivated judgements about people’s behaviour without concrete reasoning left to the discretion of some influentials to establish authority on vulnerable people, walk this way, talk this way etc and if you don’t you will be more bad or the baddest of all times. When people in power, victimize a singled out person to make others happy politically or personal gains or charge people by mistake or falsely than people are forced to not obey as a protest. Relationship of ordinary people and people in power is like that of a child and parent relationship where parent represent position of power and when children are unfairly treated they s...

about me and my shadow - Posted on Planet Earth on Side A of my building.

Many times at restaurants, seating staff asked me for how many ?, I replied to them,  "me and my shadow" (i.e. which applies to me myself by my first name and last name. But I tell them not to double bill me. Becausey my shadow can not consume any food. Shadow can be seen under a lot ght at an angle. Is shadow an alien being ? May be. Perhaps so.

misc thoughts Dated July 02 of 2025 in Ottawa Canada, updated July 09 of 2025

Human beings can not not be, should not be, must not be used as casino chips, also human beings should not be used as looted objects (such as machineries, toys, cars etc) to benefit and to build own businesses without the active involvement of the living objects i.e. human beings. Human beings can not be gained like stocks gain, capital gain or profit gain (even if they were criminals), human beings build relationships with equals. Increasing membership of a organization or of a business can not be described as gaining human beings.  After watching some prog on YouTube, thought came to my mind that countries which were established based on certain political idealogies and movements must be audited regularly by some independent organizations or United Nations to make sure they were on track and conform with the reasons and idealogies of their creation.

Fraud of using someone else's life to sustain own life. posted on July 01 of 2025

Image
It is a seriou fraud / crime with fancy words coating to say they were using some one's life to sustain own life.  Why ? . It simply means it was a life long planning to end someone's life and use assets and work. Every one is given a own life so why use someone else's life. Such people can not extend their own life by ending some one else's life.
