About Us

Hello and Salam!

I’m Shah Ahmad, an engineer, technologist, writer, and a well-wisher of Pakistan. Although I live abroad, my heart remains deeply tied to Pakistan and its potential for positive transformation. This blog, Awoken Nation, is my personal platform to share insights, explore ideas, and foster discussions on issues that resonate far beyond Pakistan’s borders.

For over 40 years, Pakistan has struggled under the weight of systemic misrule, dominated by a political elite that often prioritizes self-interest over national progress. Like many in the Pakistani diaspora, I found myself abroad, where the lack of connections to these elites was no longer a barrier to opportunity. Yet, my hopes for a better Pakistan remain unwavering. Figures like Imran Khan have shown us glimpses of courage against the status quo—though imperfect, they have sparked a new vision for Pakistan’s future that resonates with many, myself included.

Through Awoken Nation, I aim to use Pakistan’s experiences as a case study in resilience, self-reflection, and growth. This blog is dedicated to understanding three interconnected areas:

  • Political Awareness: By unpacking Pakistan’s political journey, we can find lessons that apply universally, especially for countries grappling with similar struggles. My hope is to empower readers with insights that help shape informed citizens and encourage global cooperation.

  • Ethical and Spiritual Growth: Politics without a foundation of values is empty. I believe that personal growth rooted in ethics and spirituality is vital for building societies grounded in justice, compassion, and integrity. Together, let’s explore how these values can inform not only personal decisions but also national policy.

  • Technology and Governance: As a tech enthusiast, I see the transformative potential of AI and IT in governance. Imagine a world where technology supports transparency, equity, and accountability in our public institutions! This blog examines how technology, when aligned with ethical values, can be a powerful force for change.

Apart from these passions, I also strongly advocate for continuous self-improvement and growth. Whether it’s exploring the latest in artificial intelligence, discussing the dynamics of ethical leadership, or even honing my skills in table tennis, I believe in the power of self-discipline and learning.

Awoken Nation is for everyone—Pakistanis, members of the diaspora, and anyone who believes in the possibility of positive change. Together, let’s dive into these conversations, challenge the status quo, and imagine a future where informed, ethical, and tech-empowered societies can thrive. Thank you for joining me on this journey!

Mastering Speed Learning with ChatGPT: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction Learning has always been a challenge for me. I’d go to class, sit down, and try to focus, but my attention would drift. Whether it was a bird outside the window or classmates chatting, I’d often find myself lost in thought. This lack of focus made school hard, and it wasn’t long before I was falling behind. But over time, I’ve learned how to hack my learning process. I managed to teach myself a tool called QlikView in just 2 days before a critical interview at a pharmaceutical company—and it worked. That’s when I realized speed learning could be a game-changer. Today, I’m passionate about learning new skills, from AI to new languages, and I’ve even created my own YouTube videos and bots. My love for learning has grown into both a habit and a hobby. In this guide, I’m going to share the techniques I’ve developed and how ChatGPT can help anyone become a speed learner. 1. The Power of Focused Learning When I had to prepare for my Meta data science interview, I had only two da...

The Unfolding Storm: How Global Power Struggles Could Reshape Pakistan’s Future

Let me take you on a journey that connects the dots across continents, linking Pakistan’s fate with seismic shifts in global politics. This story veers away from the routine current affairs chatter to something far more profound and impactful. A Glimpse into America’s Changing Dynamics It began with a few tweets—tweets that signal a potential earthquake in the global political landscape. These weren’t just any tweets but came from Elon Musk, one of the world’s most influential figures, and now closely tied to Donald Trump’s team. Musk, a man of innovation and controversy, is stepping into a pivotal role in reshaping America’s government machinery. Musk’s mission? Downsizing and overhauling the bloated U.S. government apparatus, specifically targeting the infamous “Military-Industrial Complex.” This term represents the deep-rooted alliance of the Pentagon, the CIA, and a host of other agencies that have shaped America’s foreign and defense policies for decades. In his tweets, Musk didn’...

In a dramatic turn of events, yesterday’s American elections have not only reshaped the political landscape of the U.S. but have also stirred ripples across the globe, especially in Pakistan. This election has revived old tensions, stirred anxieties within Pakistan's power corridors, and sparked discussions on the future trajectory of U.S.-Pakistan relations. Donald Trump's victory over Kamala Harris has profoundly impacted Pakistan's political dynamics, influencing alliances, stirring fears, and reshaping public perception.

In stark contrast, other media channels and social media platforms were abuzz with discussions about what th...
