*14 August, 2025*

A happy independence day to everyone. This year, the treat of celebration is double because we won not just a battle of war skills and firepower but primarily a war of mind and psyche. For many years we had accepted the fate of being an inferior to Indian might and it reflected in our response to Indian bullying internationally. But at last we have our psychological stick back in our hands like the way it used to be back in 90s. It is actually time to celebrate and cherish what we achieved.

However it is also a moment to reflect on where we are heading. Out on the roads today, what we experience is a total disappointment of values and norms. It was not always this messy and culturally disastrous. We, the inhabitants of Lahore city, were used to celebrating big events in a befitting way that it deserved. Just today i was having this discussion with my father about celebrations of Basant and Data Gunj Bakhsh Urs. Before it became commercialized, these two events were the biggest source of entertainment and celebrations for city dwellers. Families used to participate and enjoy without hesitation. My father lived across Data Darbar at Bhati Gate and had seen all those celebrations. There never used to be any chaos or hooliganism and events were enjoyed by all and sundry. Like my father says, todays generation has lost the plot all together and in the name of freedom and freedom of speech we have embarked on a path that is bullying out any character that asks for a bit of decency in our behaviors. Our new generation just does not know how to celebrate. Having said that, these still are our kids and we have to keep on try putting some sense in their heads with whatever opportunity we get as a father, teacher, uncle etc. We have to keep on trying to actually make it a QUAID-E-AZAM KA PAKISTAN. His vision of Pakistan that he depicted in his speech was the real Pakistan and every passing year is proving that his vision was spot on and it is still the torch bearer for today’s generations.

*DAY 3: Education Leadership Summit 2025*
*Part 2:*

The final leg of Wizz Publishers Summit before driving back on day 4, consisted of yet another adventurous outdoor journey through beautiful valley of Nathia Gali to reach Donga Gali. There we had planned to trek a 4 km Pipeline Track which has mesmerizing valley views on one side and a thick forest on the other side.

Some guests preferred taking a rest at resort and some accompanied us to Donga Gali. It was a fun ride for everyone with all the chit chat, singing and sight seeing. We reached at the starting point of the Track at Donga Gali side and started immediately as we were short on time. This track ends at Ayubia side after covering 4 km beautiful track. All the participants were excited and started with full conviction of completing it. The track tested stamina of some of us while some completed comfortably. One way or the other, Alhamdulillah everyone reached the end point at Ayubia after passing through a British era tunnel. It was a wonderful experience for all the participants.

The final leg just did not end there, there was more fun waiting for us at the resort. However the rain had started and our drive back got slow and we were late for the Music Night waiting for us. The joyful singing and a bit of dancing of the boys on the way back made tense drive quite relaxing.

It was late and all guests were hungry, so on reaching resort the first thing we all wanted to do was to have dinner which was hot, fresh and extremely tasty…the trademark of Royal Kund Resort. The Music Night started immediately after that and it was a perfect icing on the cake…a perfect end to the most amazing three days for all of us.

I must state on the behalf of Wizz Publishers…every guest on the summit was a true pleasure to host and it was an honour for us to spend four days among such wonderful people.

EVERYONE STAY BLESSED AND IN SHA ALLAH WILL SEE YOU SOON.

*DAY 3: Education Leadership Summit 2025*
*Part 1:*

Despite an excellent Yoga exercise on Day 2, many missed that on Day 3 due to rainy weather. However some showed up and were determined to learn as much as possible from Shabbir Bhai. Post exercise physical freshness, signature delicious breakfast of resort and beautiful cloudy morning meant an awesome start to an absorbing day ahead.

It was a day for Dr. Ali Muhammad Khan and Prof. Rana Muhammad Yousaf to shine on the stage of Rehmat Hall. The problems with the sound system from the last day had been taken care of and so we started on a happy note. Dr. Ali Muhammad Khan sb opened the innings with mighty strokes as his handout on common mistakes of Urdu Language that we all make surprised many of the participants. Everyone was highly impressed with Dr. sb’s experience of teaching and writing spanning over 64 years. Dr. sb briefed his journey of life beautifully and every detail was received with a loud clap. His half hour talk was brilliant in every sense of it.

Afterwards Prof. Rana Muhammad Yousaf took over the responsibility of engaging the audience. He delivered a masterpiece stroke of a Training Session on Educational Leadership. It was such a great learning experience for the respected participants as they were introduced to many new concepts. Rana Yousaf sb once again reiterated that he has master ability of conveying the message in the most easiest and soundest possible way.

Wizz Publishers had arranged some aesthetically prepared gift bags with souvenirs in it to cherish all the beautiful memories that guests were collecting in their heads with those four days spent at Education Leadership Summit 2025.

*DAY 2: Education Leadership Summit 2025*
*Part 2:*

On Day 2, as soon as Maam Sadia Noman’s training session ended, everyone was ready for an adventurous journey to Thandiani Top. It was a mixture of a bit of drive up the Thandiani Valley, a bit of trekking up the hill and then all chilling & enjoying.

The road to the Thandiani Top is not a smooth ride but the scenery around made it all fun. There were chats, laughters, music and a bit of singing. After reaching Thandiani Car parking, there was a little hike and then around four hundred stairs to reach Forrest Rest House of Thandiani Top, the final destination. The weather was pleasant and afternoon sun with scattered clouds had its mesmerizing and spellbinding affect. All the participants got together at the entrance point and enjoyed photography while catching their breath on the slanted lawn of Rest House.

After a bit of rest, all moved to the sitting area of Rest House where fresh mangoes were waiting to welcome and refresh the guests. It was a perfect start to a memorable evening as was evident from the relaxed faces of the guests. No party is complete without sipping a cup of tea and sharing chit chats and laughters. The stress and burdens of busy city life had all been left behind.

However some still felt that their appetite for adventure was not as yet fulfilled and so some of us moved down the hill towards Dagri Bangla track, while most relaxed and chilled in beautiful evening sun. The track to Dagri Bangla is one day track, so we all just covered some part of it and returned. But all the time spent on that track was one of the highlight of four days as it was tough and full of adventure. We all returned to Forrest Rest House to join the party and have our dinner.

Fresh, delicious and scrumptious barbecue was arranged in the lawn. The food was tasty would be an understatement as it was the most perfect end to an already absorbing and full of fun day. A day that started with early morning Yoga exercise was coming to an end on Thandiani Top chilling night. Coming down from the Rest House in complete darkness was itself an adventure of its kind but Alhamdulillah we all reached Royal Kund Resort with many beautiful memories.

*DAY 2: Education Leadership Summit 2025*
*Part 1:*

Day 2 with its extensive schedule is difficult to be properly briefed within one blog and post. So i am dividing it into Part 1 & 2.

Day 2 started with our very dear and awesome Yoga Trainers, Mr. & Mrs Shabbir. Ladies and Gents gathered at 5.45 in morning after Fajar prayers at their respective separate spots to kickstart the day with very healthy yoga exercises. The addition of this activity aimed at making everyone realize that a healthy body not just sharpens the movements but also the mind. Despite our hectic lifestyles and work stress, we should dedicate at least one hour every morning to better ourselves.

Javaid Noor Tambra sb from Sialkot and Shah Wali sb from Peshawar also joined before start of the session to add more colors to the occasion.

After breakfast, Maam Sadia Noman took the stage in conference hall. First she briefly but profoundly introduced Wizz Publishers’ New Series for 2026 session. Afterwards the training session on the topic of Leadership Transformation started. The training was informative and insightful. The response of the audience clearly suggested that this experience had a significant impact on their skills and perspective. Maam Sadia Noman’s expertise and delivery were impressive.

*DAY 1: Education Leadership Summit 2025*

A “vision” of getting Top Educationists and School Leaders together once every year had a humble beginning last year. However this year we were honoured with presence of a heavy contingent of respectable participants from Punjab and KP.

Some travelled with us from Headoffice in Lahore while many from other cities reached Royal Kund Resort Thandiani on their respective vehicles. It was journey full of fun and excitement. The excitement of meeting new people, learning something new and enjoying some great outdoor adventure.

On reaching Thandiani, the wonderful Royal Kund Resort and its very hospitable staff welcomed the guests. After taking some rest, all gathered at Conference Hall for Introduction of Wizz Publishers as many of the guests were very new to the publishing house. The guests participating were also introduced with details of everyone flashing on the screen one by one in alphabetical order. Director Jawad Tahir introduced all the publications of Wizz Publishers while also giving a brief preview of new series in making. The participants were gracious enough to express their liking of the old and new publications. First day was a fabulous start to the adventures, learnings and fun of next three days.

The day ended with a scrumptious dinner after the introductory session. A big praise for the management of the resort for great food and excellent hosting.
