University of Punjab, A river of light

The University of the Punjab is the largest and the oldest seat of higher learning in Pakistan. It was the first to be established in the sub-continent in Muslim majority area.

Located in the historical and culturally alive city of Lahore, this University has played a leading role in higher education in the country. The University strives to provide a conducive environment for the pursuit of the academic activities. On account of its quality degrees, pleasant environment and low tuition fees the University remains the institution of first choice for admission seeking students. On this day the famous and historical University of the Punjab was founded. For people to know, UoP is the largest 'public' university in Pakistan and was established by British government in 1882. Today, the university has over 63 departments and is known for training two Nobel Peace Prize laureates respectively. Today marks 134 years of its founding.

Juan Manuel Santos - Presidente, Nobel prize winner of 2016

Here's the Nobel Peace Prize winner for this year (2016) and he's the President of Columbia, Juan Manuel Santos - Presidente. Santos, and the leader of the Farc rebel group, Rodrigo Londoño, known as Timochenko, were considered leading contenders for the awards for signing a peace deal last month to end 52 years of war.

Here's what the press release has to say about Juan Manuel Santos

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2016 to Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos for his resolute efforts to bring the country's more than 50-year-long civil war to an end, a war that has cost the lives of at least 220 000 Colombians and displaced close to six million people. The award should also be seen as a tribute to the Colombian people who, despite great hardships and abuses, have not given up hope of a just peace, and to all the parties who have contributed to the peace process. This tribute is paid, not least, to the representatives of the countless victims of the civil war.

Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe's President and his quotations

Robert Mugabe is the current president of Zimbabwe serving since 22 December 1987. He turned 92 years old in this February making him the oldest president on the planet. Mugabe was also nominated for Nobel prize award. He was originally a teacher by profession, that might be a reason that Zimbabwe has a literacy level of above 90%. Now a days he is trending on social media not because of his age or his post but because of his words. When I read his quotes, I think this man really deserves a Nobel Prize. Here what he says 

"Stop calling your spouses cheap things like Honey, Sweet , Chocolate, Sugar. It makes them look cheap. Some of these things cost like 10 shillings. Start calling them names like bag of rice, my keg of Diesel, my iPhone 7, my range rover, my oil well, my gallon of Petrol, my bag of Cement. Lets value our spouses."

- Robert Mugabe

Another one, his deep words 

" If you are in love with more than one person then whats inside you is no longer a heat, its a memory card." 

- Robert Mugabe

"If you are a married man and you find yourself attracted to school girls, then just buy your wife a school uniform." 

- Robert Mugabe

"How do you convince the upcoming generations that education is the key to success? When we are surrounded by poor graduates and rich criminals" 

- Robert Mugabe
