Patriotism pouring out of my moves I took a ride from Rawalpindi Porriwala Pul to Raja Bazar in a Suzuki Single Cabin Pick Up sitting next to driver.
He told me the front seat was generally limited to women but as there were none so i could sit but he said he would charge me for two passengers as he offers front seat to two passengers normally.
I agreed and we moved.
After few minutes I reached my interim destination, Raja Bazar and I offered him 10 Rs.
He returned me five though charges of one passengers were only Two Rupees. I asked him for the left over one Rupee. He misconducted and said why are you worried so much for one Rupee and drove off.
I walked over to the Addawala (People Responsible for Transport Management) and they also asked me to ignore that one Rupee.
I went to a Traffic Sergent (Policeman) he also didn’t respond to the call and advised me to look for a man called Sub Inspector of the Traffic in the Bazar (Populated Market).
I spent 10-15 minutes and found him having a glass of milk shake from some Milk Shop. I approached him and told him about the Dishonesty of the driver and Transport Management Team.
The Result was he laughed at me as if i was joking to him. I asked him law. He said, Babu jeee take this one Rupee from me and go.
I said tell me the procedure to lodge complaint he said write an application so i went down to a big shop, requested for a pen and paper wrote an application. Searched for Inspector again and handed over him the application. He still smiled and said you may go we will take action.
I told him something that was the shock of life for him.
I said, “Look Inspector i have not addressed the application to you but to Inspector General of Traffic Police and i have made four copies of application for submitting one each in court of law, my military head quarters, to your concerned Superintendents office and one that i will hand over myself to Inspector General’s Office. I told him i have written his name, and the name of Traffic Sergent that i read from their name plates and the fact that they made fun of me instead of dealing with the do.
Teaching Is Not the Same as Learning
One of the most common mistakes in training and education is to assume that information delivered is information learned. A trainer may explain a subject clearly, present detailed slides and complete the planned session, yet participants may still struggle to apply what they have been taught when they return to their workplace.
The real purpose of teaching should therefore be understanding and application, not simply completing a presentation.
People learn in different ways and bring different levels of experience into a training environment. Some participants may understand a concept quickly through explanation, while others may require examples, demonstrations or practical exercises. Effective trainers recognize these differences and adapt their approach accordingly.
Participation is particularly important. When learners are only listening for long periods, their attention can gradually decline. Asking questions, discussing real situations and involving participants in problem-solving can make learning more meaningful.
Workplace examples are especially valuable because they help people connect theory with reality. Explaining a safety procedure is important, but discussing how that procedure applies to an actual workplace hazard makes the lesson easier to understand and remember.
Feedback also plays an essential role. Trainers should not simply ask whether participants enjoyed a session. They should try to determine whether the intended learning objectives were achieved. Can participants explain the key concept? Can they identify the hazards? Can they apply the correct procedure?
The responsibility of learning, however, does not belong only to the trainer. Participants must also remain engaged, ask questions and make an effort to connect new information with their own experience.
Organizations should also consider what happens after the training session ends. If employees return to an environment where they are unable or unwilling to apply what they have learned, the value of training will be limited. Supervisors and managers should therefore support the application of new knowledge in the workplace.
Training should be viewed as a process rather than a single event. Learning may require reinforcement, practical experience and periodic refreshers.
The best teaching is not measured by how much the trainer says. It is measured by how much the learner understands and can use.
When teaching results in improved knowledge, better decisions and safer behaviour, training becomes more than an activity on a calendar. It becomes an investment that produces meaningful change.
Everything Changed he removed his dark glasses…almost dragged me to the sergeants location. slapped him and told him that why didn’t he listen to me.. than to Transport Management committee (Addawalas) He growled and howled at them and asked them for the Pick Up driver who had charged me more than fixed rate.
I had recorded the Registration Number of vehicle so they got him in minutes.
He was beaten for almost few minutes and was asked as to why he charged me more.
He begged for mercy and looked at me like a six year old kid who looks at his father after some foolish mistake.
They all looked at me.
I asked them why they manhandled the driver.
I asked them what is the legal action?
Would they do challan? issue Ticket?
They ultimately did and then looked at me for getting the photocopy of application that was against them.
I told them they have only done their part i have to still report about First Behavior and left the place.
I tore off all copies when i reached home at 8 pm.
My father asked me what happened and why i got late?
I told him I was teaching few friends in need.
