A Good Old tree and story of a Life time in UET
A calm road, followed by refreshing grass and spring flowers beside the walking path, The Tree that depict the growth and age of this Monument, He is old enough to be a witness of what has happened during the birth of this institution, what changed and what has not, what needs a change & what needs to be conserved. Bringing shadow to thousands of students who sat by those trees; saw them making and breaking their careers, laughing and chanting, frowning because they missed their families and lived there for serving the purpose, reading the diaries that they wrote, some climbing them for playing or used by kids for swings. Starting from saving students from Rain and heat to taking the burden of swings and nests. Situated in the heart of Lahore City, On Main G.T. Road Lies UET (University of Engineering & Technology) a tree besides the Main stadium in University stands an Old tree which has seen everything.
Starting from 1921 to March 13th, 2012 Today, This tree has seen rise and fall of UET. He is sad because he was born into this institution and he saw how this Organization was the premier in Engineering Education, How it became a renowned institute around the world, how terrorism started, how it got controlled by Mr. Akram Khan (Current VC) and the peaceful era of last 10 years. How engineers developed and transformed Engineering in Pakistan n now it Seems like the blacks clouds are over the head again
The suicide of a student last year & Entry test scandal was not wrenched of the branches that another life was taken from the grounds. A beautiful windy night followed by slight rain with the falling wall of Mumtaz Hall is another thrown in the heart. That wall- known to be aged enough didn’t bear the old age and fell off. Our beloved tree is angry upon the wall; if it had to fall then it should have gone alone. Taking a life gave it much attention but it would be built again, what about a life that was gone forever? Was it the fault of a wall or that management who did not care for the building, It needed constant repair and with no re-designing, a Living Life, A star in the sky fell too.
This old Tree saw Loads of students protesting peacefully in the middle of a magical & beauteous night, but Was that protest worth to be done after the damage? YES, it was because this is what education teaches us, to be empowered and speaking for our rights. Rights that now require Change as a result. A change that will bring back the Good old days so this tree despite of being old can stand up again to provide shadow to the rising stars.
My Opinion
History has witnessed a bad and Good time too, I will not say that UET is going down the ground but Yes, It needs a change in practices that would again take it too the heights of success where Engineers and Now Business graduates too will continue to make a better world for this Nation with more pride, enthusiasm and the Quaid-e-Azam spirit.
