Question for Honourable Mr PRACS

[khani]

My name is Khani I am an affiliate member of ACCA and as you know that ICAEW is going to come to PAKISTAN next year I would love to join them, I have heard that in Uk even the british students have to wait for two years to get the articleship,is it wright or wrong.I hknow that you are or were in uk so you can answer it well.

Dear Khani,

Of course Pracs can reply better focussing your query based upon his exeprience of UK.

I have confirmed from ICAEW, that following six CA firms in Pakistan have been authorized by ICAEW to train its students

- A.F. Ferguson

- Ford Rhodes Sidat Hyder

- Khalid Majeed Rehman

- M. Hussain Chaudry

- Sarwars

- Tecnobeavers

Some other firms are in the process of getting such authorization. I think once, in 2008, this process will commence, You will not find it very hard to get articles here in Pakistan for having ICAEW authorized training.

Regards,

Kamran.

Informative post

Thank you Mr KAMRAN SAHIB, really you are great sir, I would have asked this question to you but sir it does not appear good to me to ask all the question from you directly, aakhir hum aap se chotee hain, har lihaz see, I have not participated the discussion which has started on my other post. Just for the record I can tell you that I am a NIAZAI PATHAN from MIANWALI and my mother language is SARAIKI. Infact there are two types of this sweet language
1) Saraiki which is spoken in Mianwali and adjacent areas
2) Riasti which is used in areas like RAHIM YAR KHAN, BAHAWALPUR ,MULTAN ,DERA GHAZI KHAN the other side of river indus against RAHIM YAR KHAN.
bOTH HAVE 95% WORDS ALMOST THE SAME BUT the one used in Mianwali is considered to be more rude.alah hafiz sir and thaks once again.

Dear Khani,

It's pleasure having your introduction. And yes, never feel anything odd in asking / sharing the issues. Of course some times any one of us may not reply due to certain constraints, but still, this forum is meant to discuss the issues and this is the only way out to know various things and share common experiences and knowledge.

I have friends relating to both Saraiki speaking areas. In Mianwali, I have so many times visited Mianwali, Kundiyan, Chashma, Vandies (specially Vandi Ghundwali), Iskanderabad, Daud Khel and Kala Bagh. The location of proposed Kala Bagh Dam (river indus) is extreme beauty of nature. I love that scene and just go to the river bridge (having small train track) to see that bowl type river's image. And yes, kababs of Kala Bagh and golden/silver tillah Chappals are excellent. During official visits, whenever I come from D G Khan to D I Khan on Idus Highway, I always take the route of Chashma (having date gardens) , Kundiyan and Mianwali (to Joharabad, Khushab, Lillah interchange etc) for reaching my native town Faisalabad. I always love this journey. In the birds season, I am used to taste fish, MURGHAABIes and Neel Kanth etc on the river bank at Chashma near Kundiyan. There is a gud resturant, the owner of which is my friend and he makes these arrangements for me when I take this route.

It's one of the most beautiful areas of Pakistan featuring many things common with KOHISTAN-e-NAMAK. KALAR KAHAR, CHUA SAIDAN SHAH, and SOON SKAISAR are the lands of my dreams. No one can know them, if has not undertaken detailed visits.

I love your lands that are also mine being a part of my country.

Yes, I agree that Saraikee of Mianwali is little bit harsh than saraikee of Multan. Saraikee of Multan is much more sweet in its delivery and presentation.

Regards,


Kamran.

Including me no one would have thought that such an intellectual person will be so interested in watching and infact loving all these remote areas. I am very happy sir that you know all my areas,you know all like someone from the family .I am currently away from home but sir soon will there and then I would love to become your host even for a very little time,It will be my honour.My native home is just by the side of MIANWALI AIR BASE. I belong to the WATA KHEL family.Grand son of SULTAN KHAN.

Dear Khani,

First of all I am not an intellectual. I am rather a normal professional.

Mianwali air base. Is it near Bhakkar road? There comes a toll plaza when we come from Kundiyan to Mianwali and while standing on that toll plaza I have seen fighter and training planes taking off and landing.

Anyways.

Regards,

Kamran.

Dear Khani,

Hope you would be fine. I am now a days out of my native city and it's hard to have a visit of Chashma for me.

How is the scene now? Have the migrant birds arrive? I just wish to see them but at the moment it is not practicable.

May be after some time I would be there. Would you be pleased to arrange some coal roasted / grilled Murghaabies and Neel Kanths etc along with genuine black Rahoo fish of Chashma or genuine white Shangari fish?

Just kidding!!!

Regards,


Kamran.
