| [DAWN] After over six months of unemployment, Murad Gul breathed a sigh of relief when he landed a job at 'Save the Children'. But in a cruel twist of fate, the government ordered the international aid group to pack up operations in Pakistain, rendering him and several others jobless. Gul had previously served as a monitoring and evaluation manager at an international non-governmental organization (INGO) in Islamabad. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... after completion of the project he had been working for on a contractual basis, Gul faced unemployment for more than six months until the brief stint at 'Save the Children'. "Despite eight years of experience in the development sector, it was still difficult for me to get a job after my project ended," Gul says. |
