بے ایمانی دی سزا

پرانے وقتاں دی گل اے کہ اک پہاڑ دے دامن وچ اک شخص رہندا سی۔ اوس کول بہت ساریاں مجھاں گاواں سن۔ مجھاں گاواں سارا دن ادھر اُدھر چر دیاں۔ شام نوں تھوڑی دیر پہلاں اوہ ددھ چوندا۔ اوس وچ بہت سارا پانی ملاندا تے کول دے شہر وچ جا کے ویچ آندا۔ اوہ ہر اک گاہک نوں آکھدا کہ ددھ خالص اے۔ ددھ ویچ کے ضروریاتِ زندگی دیاں چیزاں خرید دا تے گھر واپس آ جاندا۔

گاہک اوس نوں اکثر شکایت کردے کہ ددھ بہت پتلا اے۔ ایس وچ پانی نہ ملایا کر۔ کسے وی شکایت دا اوس اتے کوئی اثر نہ ہوندا۔ سگوں آکھدا کہ ددھ وچ پانی ہونا قدرتی امر اے۔ میں پانی نہیں ملاندا نالے ددھ کیہڑا سکا ہوندا اے۔ ایس طرح ددھ ویچدے اوس نوں بہت عرصہ گزر گیا۔ ہن اوہدے کول بہت زیادہ دولت وی آ گئی سی۔ اوہ کسے نوں کجھ وی نئیں سی سمجھدا۔ دن بدن لالچ ودھدا گیا تے اوہ ددھ وچ پانی دی مقدار وچ وادھا کرداگیا۔

اک دن اچانک اسمان اتے کالی بدلی اُٹھی تے اوس پورے اسمان نوں اپنے کلاوے وچ لے لیا۔ ہر طرف ہنیرا ای ہنیرا ہو گیا۔ اوہ بہت خوش ہویا کہ مینہ پوے گا۔ جس پاروں گھاہ زیادہ ہووے گا۔ گاواں مجھاں کھا کے زیادہ ددھ دیون گئیاں۔ بس فیر میرے وارے نیارے ہو جاون گے۔ اچانک بدل گرجیا۔ بجلی چمکی پہلاں ہولی تے فیر تیز بارش شروع ہو گئی۔ ایس دے نال اولے پین لگ پئے۔ ہر پاسے پانی ای پانی ہو گیا۔ پہاڑاں توں پانی سیلاب دی صورت وچ ایس شدت نال اوہدے پنڈ ول ودھیا کہ اوہدیاں گاواں مجھاں، گھر تے گھر دا سارا سامان اپنے نال بہہ کے لے گیا۔ ہن اوہدے کول نہ تے گاواں مجھاں سن تے نہ ای گھرتے نہ نقدی، اوہ...

Perceived Online Social Support, Internet Addiction, and Psychological Wellbeing among University students

This study aims to explore the relationship between perceived online social support, internet addiction, and psychological well-being among university students. A sample of 250 university students from different universities in Lahore was included in this study. A purposive sampling strategy was used to collect survey data using internationally standardized tools. Pearson Product Moment Correlation and Multiple Hierarchical Linear Regression results showed that two subscales of perceived online social support, friends, and family, had a significant positive relationship with psychological well-being among university students. Among predictors, the current level of the semester and one subscale of perceived online social support- family, emerged as a significant positive predictor of psychological well-being among university students. The study concludes that family and friends are integral to the psychological well-being of university students and interventions must be planned to ensure that university students living far from home and those with excessive workloads have sufficient online and offline time with family and friends for mental health and well-being.

State under Trial an Institutional Analysis of a Policy Decision in the Pakistani Electricity Sector

This thesis uses institutional theory to study state – (private) organization relationship in a postcolonial context. The thesis analyzes a policy decision of the Government of Pakistan to employ rental power plants (RPPs) in large numbers as a short term measure to address the acute electricity shortage in the country in 2008-09. This decision was challenged in the country’s Supreme Court (SC) by two parliamentarians. The state ended up defending its policy before the court between September 2009 and March 2012. The research deploys a qualitative case study method which primarily relies on the following sources of information: participant observation of the proceedings of the RPPs case in the SC and of a legal firm involved in it; documentary evidence presented by various parties in the court; interviews with some of the key people in the RPPs case; and secondary data related to the case. Analyzing this data allows answering the thesis’ research questions. These questions pertain to the reasons leading to the state relinquishment of power to private organizations in a postcolonial context and the key elements of a legitimating narrative constructed by a state to legitimate such a surrender. Addressing these questions enables the thesis to make several contributions to institutional theory’s conversation on state-organization dynamics in postcolonial contexts. This thesis identifies a subservient state, one that surrenders its interests to private organizations. This is an important contribution to that literature for it challenges the current understandings of the state in that literature which portrays it playing a dominating role in relation to private organizations when creating, maintaining or changing institutions. Other main contributions of the thesis to that conversation lie in elaborating an institutional account for a state’s surrender to private organizations, documenting the key elements of state’s narrative that legitimates such a surrender, and highlighting the role of mainly Western multilateral funding agencies in shaping institutional environments in postcolonial contexts.
