So Motivational
As always !
Rabia – Thank you very much for your understanding. In the cyber world no one is entitled to be publicly humiliated. And no can either dish it out to any other without ramifications. We are all judged by what we say.
So, I am glad you have learnt your lesson.
*laffs… You are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. As Badar is to his and as Umar Saif and every other individual on the planet is to their own. I’m glad you were not publicly humiliated. If you were, THEN we’d be elitist! Until then, we’re just any old folk on the street. After all, we weren’t the ones snubbing interviews…
I thought feudal attitudes towards criticism in Pakistan was limited to the political class.I guess I was wrong. All I was saying was that a certain guest simply did not match the high standards set by the other guests on the show. Is that a crime?
I don’t think I feel publicly humiliated. I have only exposed the arrogance and ‘take or or leave it’ attitude of the powerful elitist corporate media.
i am feeling happy today as i had finished both episodes of Google Guy interview. infarct he was on call with me last night and said sorry if i disturbed you i said
“no, i was watching your interview “:).
i learnt a lot and i think this was the first interview that i like it much rather than other episodes of web studio as generally other were in English [ this episode contribute something to PAKISTAN especially URdu ,one of our resolution that we passed in LTU09,14 August2009 at Lahore] and mostly technical. well new and unique things coming in my mind lol.
hats off for BADAR and thumbs up for JEHAN ARA and CIOPAKISTAN.
@NADeem ,
if u know the policy and rules of GOOGLE u might come to know they have to informal enough and BADAR is one of them that i have ever met. and now world is changing ,i met a lot of country heads and executive directors who are becoming informal to their clients and to increase their social network that is a necessity of today. hope i ll read your positive comment in future that you experienced such kind of thing in your practical life. if you are Lahore based do contact me i have a list of people like BADAR and i love to share it with you.
my apology if anyone face any problem from my English as i am much weak in that
and i am proud that i can speak well in my mother tongue URDU rather than others.
thanks for sharing part 2 of aninterview with mr badar khushnood
@Nadeem Ahsan, While there might or might not be a certain etiquette to speak infront of the camera, there certainly is an etiquette in leaving comments. Generally speaking, rather than add hot air to a further drastic situation of global warming, you might want to take a step back and think about the basic premise of if you don’t have anything decent to say, to not say anything at all.
I didn’t ask you to take a test to come and comment on this website, and unlike you, regardless of how senseless and stupid you might sound like, we don’t pass a judgment criteria on professionals who take time out to come and speak their mind on our shows.
If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. Do us that favor. If you are here, you may wish to follow some decent rules before being publicly humiliated. As stupid and irritating as you might sound, I would never think of calling you a moron… wait .. I think I just did.
This guy is a screwball. It was lost as me as to who was interviewing whom? Does he realize their is a certain etiquette when you get in front of the camera.
Rabia – Did you ask him if he took the Google test for all new employees and cleared it?

Hats off to Jahan Ara and Badar Khushnood for giving a deep insight knowledge on using Google apps, blogging and AdSense. Talked on the issues of Google AdSense. Well I probably want to raise an issue using your platform about the same falsehood AdSense “Dealers”, and they are at large educating innocent people malicious and wrong knowledge about “How to earn from AdSense”. I want to share a couple of links of a few big fishes here who are exploiting the people:
