Written by Maliha Mansoor The famous internet search engine name “Google” originated from a misspelling of “googol,” which refers to the number represented by 1 followed by one-hundred zeros. The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin in 1995. Larry, a 22 years University of Michigan graduate and Sergey, 21 years, both had a first meeting at Stanford. It is said that they both disagreed on almost every matter in the first meeting. Page and Brin write in their original paper on Page Rank: “We chose our system’s name, Google, because it is a...

Special Thanks to Mehr Asma Javed and Maidah Mir, both freshmen at LUMS, for conducting this interview. Ideas Evolved caught up with Rana Uzair, a young entrepreneur who brought International Fro-Yo brand Yogurberry to Lahore almost 3 months ago. Rana is quite an enthusiast, and told us about how the experience has been for him. 1. Tell us about yourself. How many projects are you part of? How did you come about to become an investor-cum-entrepreneur? Well, I moved back to Lahore two years ago, before that I was working in New York in consulting and the main reason I moved back was that I wanted to be in a field that would let me do...

Interviewed by Ahmad Tabassum, the ambassador from Aitchison College, whose soul is being sucked away by the petty life that he lives in. What IS this kid doing with his life? :@ *sad face* Usamaa Babar is what most people aspire to be: a young entrepreneur, an event organizer, head of the USB Events and Foundations, a socialite and more importantly, a role model for all to follow. USB is a synonym for extraordinaire and he just happens to be an Aitchisonian (not that I’m bragging much). USB Events, being the brainchild of Usamaa and Danish Rana, has set out to become one of...

Maham Nadeem and Natasha Sohail, who interned at Ideas Evolved this summer, met up with Uzair Jaswal. The guy in question has made waves *at fear of being cliched* with his single in Coke Studio “Nindiya kay paar”. He was also among the top 12 contestants in both editions of Pakistan Sangeet Icon in 2010 and 2011. He is now thinking of doing more live performances in an upcoming tour. Who is Uzair Jaswal? Well… Uzair Jaswal is a boy trying to make it big in this music industry, he’s a student and a dreamer, I’ve always dreamt of this day being on coke studio making it big and I guess… it’s a really difficult...

By Ziad Bashir The author is a Junior at Lahore School of Economics, and the Chief Editor of Ideas Evolved. I do not deny it, this is us openly telling you that advertising packages like the ones offered at iE, are a great option for your business- the small, or home operated, or online businesses. But this would help you no matter where you want to advertise. We have come across business owners who need to desperately promote their product but don’t know what to ask, how to prioritize or how to set the targets of the ad-campaign, understandable since no business owner can know...

Th interviewer, Natasha Sohail, is an introvert who expresses herself by capturing nature at its best and is currently saving up money to buy a professional camera . She is currently interning at Ideas Evolved. Abdullah Qureshi is a synonym of the word ‘friendly’ and he just so happens to have an incredibly mesmerizing voice too. Even with almost 49,000 views on his very first original song “Tere Liye” in just a matter of 12 days, he is just as down to earth as the next guy and still replies to each and every post on his fan page, whether it’s to say thank you or to help...

Ahmed Zafar Iqbal is a Political Science Junior at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. He likes turtles and 009 Sound System’s song ‘Born To Be Wasted’. To read an exclusive interview of Ali Gul Pir, the man behind “Wadeiray ka beta” conducted by our editor Ahmed Zafar, click HERE Waderai ka Beta, the new hit song by Ali Gul Pir, came as quite a pleasant surprise to me when I first watched it. Although blatantly ridden with innuendos in some sense, both in wording and otherwise, I don’t think anyone can deny that the song itself is a...
