4. In 2008 I was attending a training
on Action Research, at the end of
day two, the trainer asked,

5. Do you have any questions?
And I said, Yes a lot!
I am confused! 

6. The trainer replied, I am glad that
you are confused! Your confusion
will motivate you in learning even
outside the classroom!

7. She was Right! I do get confused a
lot!
But eventually, I do find clarity!
Answers! Knowledge!
And Serenity!

8. Do you get confused after…
Attending a Lecture?
Watching a Movie?
Playing a Game?
Reading a Book?

9. Because I do!

10. The jargon!
The theories!
The analogies!

11. They are so confusing!
Aren’t they?

12. But the question here is how
to satisfy our curiosity?
And end the confusion!

13. My confusion started with I
learned talking!
My catch phrase was:

14. Papa! What’s this?
‫پاپا‬!‫ہے؟‬‫کیا‬‫یہ‬

15. My father became, google,
bing and Wikipedia!

16. He brought me books!
Instead of countering the
confusion!
The books increased it!

17. He brought me books!
Instead of countering the
confusion!
The books increased it!

18. A friend once said ”Stop being a
Bogey and Bandit”! And I was
like what is it?

19. He is a Aircraft Spotter i.e.
a Geek who loved Aircrafts!
Particularly F-16

20. The confusion lead me to FAS
website i.e. Federation of America
Scientists and Finally Wikipedia!
And that happened back in 2004

21. In few months I had more
knowledge about aircrafts than
him! But I didn’t stopped
there!

22. All this knowledge created a lot
more confusion!
But I was content because I had
Wikipedia!

23. So the key is! Learn
things! Search them!
Research them!

24. Get confused and then
Clarify it!

25. A simple query about Air
force and F-16 lead me to
F-16 X-L a prototype aircraft

based IP and
Research!

surroundings, TV, Internet and
