Do u have a village?
What?
U know my father is not feudal he is a salaried man.
I mean do u belong to a village?
Meaning?
What's your birth place?
What difference it would make to u?
I want to visit!
Were u born in some village?
The only village I had visited is to dine at sea view.
Come on!
Had u been to Thailand?
No!
Too bad.
What has happened to u?
From village u have flown to Thailand
I just asked a question.
Meaning?
Actually I want to go to Thailand?
What for?
To study.
Great!
People say that age does not limit any person from acquiring knowledge.
That's right!
By the way u r an engineer, what degree u want to study for in Thailand?
Village!
What?
U want to go to Thailand to study village.
That's true!
Do u have any scarcity of villages in the country? No need to go aboard to study poverty or water allocation.
U know the selected one is visiting abroad!
Ya!,
He had also visited Thailand!
Ya! I know!
Had u wanted to accompany him?
No way!
Can't stand celebrity security check-outs!
Then!
The selected one said that Thailand is to be adopted as model economy.
Oh! No!
Ya!
He said that Pakistan will adopt Thailand as a model economy by incorporating "One Tambon One Product".
Really!
Under "one Tambon (village) One Product" the Thai government extends expertise to a village known for making any special product enabling it to export that product globally.
Great!
Is the World Bank now focusing on Thailand economy model?
Meaning?
Nothing! Just thinking.
What about?
Why can't we devise indigenous solutions for the indigenous problems?
What u mean to say?
Actually had attended a conference on SME financing.
What is so special about it?
Just recalled past.
Meaning?
After so many years the imported ones were found talking about asset cycle conversion financing and cash flow based financing in the absence of collaterals to promote SMEs.
That's really good!
The SMEs generate employment and ultimately help reduce poverty instead of short lived prosperity provided by credit card or instalment financing.
What do u mean by short lived?
Look!
Now u can buy everything on credit card but ultimately u have to pay along with the mark-up.
My dear!
I just want our leaders to think with their own mind and heart instead of blindly following others whether it be the Big Boss or successful experiences of friends. They should seek guidance and tailor policies as per the indigenous requirements.
Ya!
And should not abandon them half way.
