Talent HuntShahmeer Rafiq of The FIRM
Interview
It feels great to be interviewed by Bahria.net team as I am a great admirer of your website.
As music is one of my hobbies and my passion as well, so apart from being a computer science student, I title my self as a Musician too.
The FIRM is a society of Bahria University Karachi, and it does somewhat Bahria.net does. It provides students a platform to share their work and talent with other students. We arrange seminars, workshops, and also cover each event that occurs in BIMCS Karachi, and provide students with a complete event day report and pictures online through our website.
It all started with a concept of a website which could work as a platform for students to share their educational work, their creativeness, and their ideas. To convert this concept into reality was the main task. I had the knowledge and tools to build such a website, but that was not enough because to launch such a type of a website, you need sponsors and people to help you. So the thing that came to my mind was why not make a society which will launch this website and also arrange seminars and other events.
Yes, we have a very dedicated team of people working with us in The FIRM. In fact it is all because of my team that we have accomplished so much and are one of the leading societies of BIMCS Karachi now.
Karachi Campus is very strong when it comes to Societies, as we have approximately eight functioning societies present in our campus at the moment and some new three to four societies are being launched very soon. On the other hand I have heard that there is only one society present at the moment working in Islamabad Campus, and I personally think that more societies should come forward and be approved by the administration which will all in all benefit Islamabad Campus.
Definitely, the more societies and clubs there are in a campus, the more are seminars and events arranged at that campus.
I wont call myself a parhaku guy, I just study a day or two before the exams, you can just say that I know how to get the marks from the teachers ;)
Well nowadays the things are going a little slow in The FIRM, but I think that is just because everybody is busy with their summer session and internships. As soon as the new semester starts The FIRM will be in action again.
No competitors for us as we work in collaboration with all the societies, when we are arranging events, they help us and when they are we help them by covering their events and also in every other possible way we can, as the motive of all the societies is the same, which is to promote Bahria University.
No, no secrets in our societies, well we are thinking about our Quiz competition final named Bahria’s Brilliant of the year and after that we are thinking about launching the first issue of our Magazine “Inspire”
My hobbies are swimming, playing the guitar, and reading.
No launching of albums for me as as I m thinking about going abroad for my studies.
Everything requires time and sincerity, if you can give these two things to something then you can accomplish anything in this world.
Yes, I have one best friend, my brother Ali Noman.
All I can say is that life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful :)
Well there is one thing that I always say “Apply yourself and make it happen!”
I came to know about Bahria.net through my friend Noreen Ruftaj in the last semester when she asked me if she could post pictures of Eid Mela on a Islamabad Campus website.
My suggestion to guys would be to keep on working and doing the great job, Inshallah one day you will accomplish all you dream of.
