News Worldwide — This article is neither about the political disasters that are taking place in Pakistan nor it is to tell the feeble who is suffering what in Pakistan. I am not going to discuss any latest news on Pakistan either but rather this piece of content is about the latest gadgets that develop in almost every other workshop of Pakistani society.
Despite all the lacking the poor people of Pakistan, they still have the power to make gold out of nothing. I was making a report on child labor few days back and amid my research I visited a number of workshops in different cities. To my amazement I found many engineers and electricians of children below 13. Though they were working in these workshops to earn there bread and butter and because life chose that for them but they were marvelous engineers in there own ways. A number of latest gadgets that were also cool gadgets came under my observation.
An interview with Amine who was 8 years old told me that he knew how to make a circuit. The science he was talking about is taught in science labs under great care and observation and is often prohibited to perform if under age.
Similarly, I came to know some more young guys who had too made some of the coolest gadgets I have ever seen. I journey to amazement did not end here and as I continued collecting material for my report, I came to know this guy Majid who did not knew his age but appeared to be below 12 years. Majid was an expert to fix car engine. He knew how to detect the fault and was working like an expert in his fathers workshop. The proudness in his eyes towards his work was worth watching. And though I still believe that child labour is against a child’s rights but all my research proved me that some times latest gadgets and some of the coolest gadgets can only be made by Majid’s and Amine’s only who are not free to chose their life but know what to discover and invent out of nothing.
