Engineering at its best  :happy:

Whao very interesting
Phd and then into your profession of Oil .. I see lot of Phd get into teaching ... But I guess it depends on if your field interest you more than teaching or not :)

I think its also the difference in where you studing.... In north America most of the students bail out after Undergrads ... and anyone who gets into grads school is taking teaching as an option.... But the trend of higher study is very prodominent in Europe and Asia - which is good as it help you master your the field you interest in :)

Is it just me or everyone find this funny  : : :

Oil .. NICE, sounds fun .. I never had a chance to work in oil even though i tried many other fields... Probably sometime

Whats your background mate.. Hard Core Petroleum engineering or Mechanical Engineer or may be Niether

Attackers Strike Sect Mosques in Pakistan

Islamist gunmen and a suicide squad lobbed grenades, sprayed bullets from atop a minaret and took hostages in attacks on two mosques packed with worshippers from a minority sect in Pakistan. At least 80 people were killed and dozens wounded.

The strikes - the deadliest against the Ahmadi community - highlight the threat to minority religious groups by the same militants who have repeatedly attacked Pakistan's US-allied government and threatened to destabilise the nuclear-armed nation.

The tactics echoed those militants have used against government, foreign and security targets in Pakistan, but they had never before been directed against a religious minority.

Two teams of heavily armed attackers - seven men in total - staged the raids minutes apart, seizing hostages and apparently planning to fight to the death. Three died when they detonated their suicide vests. Two were captured.

"It was like a war going on around me. The cries I heard sent chills down my spine," said Luqman Ahmad, a survivor.

Shiite Muslims have borne the brunt of individual suicide bombings and targeted killings for years in Sunni-majority Pakistan, though Christians and Ahmadis have also faced violence. The long-standing sectarian violence in the country has been exacerbated by the rise of the Sunni extremist Taliban and al-Qaida movements.

Pakistan's Geo TV channel said the Punjab province branch of the Pakistani Taliban had claimed responsibility, however repeated attempts by The Associated Press to reach the group were not successful. The Pakistani Taliban are believed to have played a role in the failed car bomb attempt in New York City's Times Square earlier this month.

Ahmadis are reviled as heretics by mainstream Muslims for their belief that their sect's founder was a savior foretold by the Quran, Islam's holy book. The group has experienced years of state-sanctioned discrimination and occasional attacks by radical Sunni Muslims in Pakistan, but never before in such a large-scale, sophisticated fashion.

The attacks took place in the Model Town and Garhi Shahu neighborhoods of Lahore.

Maoist rebels suspected in India train derailment killing at least 71

SARDIHA (PASCHIM MEDINIPUR DISTRICT):A goods train rammed 13 derailed coaches of the 2012 UP Howrah-Kurla Gyaneshwari Express between the Khemashuli and Sardiha stations in West Bengal in the small hours of Friday, killing 79 persons and injuring nearly 150 people.

Both Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee, who visited the site, and the West Bengal government suspected the involvement of Maoists, though they differed on how the incident was staged.

While Ms. Banerjee said that left-wing extremists had triggered an explosion on the track, resulting in the derailment, Director-General of Police Bhupinder Singh said that the rebels had removed pandrol clips and fishplates from both up and down lines leading to the accident.

Mr. Singh told The Hinduthat the death toll could rise as several bodies were still trapped in the wreckage — mainly in coaches S3, S4, S5, S6 and S7 that have been badly mangled and crushed.

According to eyewitness accounts, the accident occurred around 1.30 a.m. when most of the passengers were fast asleep.

“The train stopped with a jolt and within a few seconds our coach started tilting towards the down line. It stayed like that for some minutes before we heard a loud bang and everyone and everything tumbled on one another,” an injured Sheikh Moniruddin, an embroidery artist travelling in the most-affected S4, said.

Railway officials present at the site said the goods train, which was proceeding at high speed on the up line, rammed the derailed coaches of the Jnaneswari Express before its driver could raise an alarm.

Due to the impact of the collision, the goods train engine jumped the track and ploughed into the field – completely crushing S3, S4, S5 and S6 coaches in the process.

The assistant driver of the goods train died on the spot and the driver was critically injured. The driver of the passenger train has filed an FIR that he had heard the sound of an explosion before the derailment.

After assessing the situation, Ms. Banerjee said: “It was a calculated attack on the railways since it is the lifeline of the nation. I have requested the Union Home Minister to investigate the matter and book the culprits.”

She announced an ex gratia of Rs. 5 lakh and railway jobs to the relatives of the dead and Rs. 1 lakh to the injured.

Five Ministers of the State government, highly placed officials of the State police, the South Eastern Railway and the State's Criminal Investigation Department visited the spot.
