AN ASTONISHING SOURCE OF INSPIRATION

       (BY: SADAF AHMED KHAN)

25 minutes walk from Silver Jubilee gate to Department of Mass Communication. I see many people sitting alone or in group, some sitting idle or completing assignments or enjoying friends’ gathering but there is one man whom I see daily who have become the source of inspiration for me ,who convey the message “ Life is still ON Boss!” is MR. ALI IMRAN. One can see Ali Imran sitting on wheel chair at check post; selling phone cards mobile covers and stationary items.  I had no idea who this person is when I was assigned to write anything related to university of Karachi , he was the one who popped up in my mind immediately, I decided to interview him, I found Ali Imran a very lively personality , he has good sense of humor, sophisticated, well mannered and polite.
