Stochastic
Probability Theory - Pregnant Deer Scenario
Consider this scenario: In a remote forest, a pregnant deer is
about to give birth to a baby. It finds a remote grass field near
by a river and slowly goes there thinking it would be safe. As she
moves slowly, she gets labor pain, at the same moment, dark clouds
gather around that area and lightning starts a forest fire.
Turning left she sees a hunter who is aiming an arrow from a
distance. As she tries to move towards right, she pots a hungry
lion approaching towards her.
Stochastic Probability Theory - Pregnant Deer Scenario
What can the pregnant deer do ….as she is already under labor pain
?
…
…
…
What do you think will happen ?
Will the deer survive ?
Will it give birth to a fawn ?
Will the fawn survive ? or
Will everything be burnt by the forest fire ?
…
 …
…
That particular moment ?
…
…
…
Can the deer go left ? – Hunter’s arrow is pointing
Can she go right ? – Hungry male lion approaching
Can she move up ? – Forest fire
Can she move down ? – Fierce river
Answer: She does nothing. She just focuses on giving birth to a
new LIFE.
The sequence of events that happens at that fraction of a second
(moment) are as follows:
In a spur of MOMENT …a lightning strikes (already it is cloudy )
and blinds the eyes of the Hunter. At that MOMENT, he releases the
arrow missing and zipping past the deer. At that MOMENT the arrow
hits and injures the lion badly. At that MOMENT, it starts to rain
heavily and puts out the forest fire. At that next MOMENT, the
deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.
In our life, it’s our MOMENT of CHOICE and we all have to deal
with such negative thoughts from all sides always. Some thoughts
are so powerful they overpower us and make us clueless. Let us not
decide anything in a hurry. Let’s think of ourselves as the
pregnant deer with the ultimate happy ending. Anything can happen
in a MOMENT in this life. If you are religious, superstitious,
atheist, agnostic… or whatever… you can attribute this MOMENT as
divine intervention, faith, sudden luck, chance (serendipity),
coincidence… or a simple ‘don’t know’. We all feel the same. But,
whatever one may call it, I would see the priority of the deer in
that given moment was to giving birth to a baby…because LIFE IS
PRECIOUS.
Hence, whether you are deer or a human, keep that faith and hope
within you always.

Sir
Syed of Modern India
...By Syed Zubair Ahmad
When I heard about the achievements of Mahbubul Hoque I wanted to
meet him at the earliest opportunity. Recently he was in Delhi to
receive an award. When I reached his hotel room to meet him I got
elated and surprised. He is the real heir of Sir Syed in look and
deed. A true Aligarian literally and virtually. He had a dream
like Sir Syed and got that dream materialized. After finishing his
study at Aligarh Muslim University, he reached Guwahati with his
old computer and within ten years he established University of
Science & Technology,
Meghalaya.
Born on December 1, 1973 in village Purbogool
under Mahbubul Hoque did his matriculation from
Karimganj with star marks, HS (Science MCA from
Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) securing first class 2nd rank in
the year. Although he had lucrative job offers in multinationals
& Educational Entrepreneur. He started
Central IT College with one computer & 4
students assembling computers which was sold in
the market to establish a computer lab under SMU
having enrollment strength 3000+.
After completing his MCA from AMU he wanted to
start proposal to many community entrepreneurs
but Mahbubul didn’t get positive response
cherish his dream at his own.
With his old computer which he brought from Aligarh he started a
batch of 4 students who were enrolled at Sikkim Manipal University
in 2001. At the same time he started assembling computers and
selling them in extra time. The same year he sold over 100
computers. The number of students kept increasing every year. In
2002, 28 students, in 2003, 128 students, in 2004, 236 students,
in 2005, 450 students, in 2006, 1300 students, in 2007, 2200
students, and in 2008, 3500 students took admission in his Central
IT College.
His dream of establishing an IT college was materialized. But he
had the dream of Sir Syed. In those years he kept on striving to
establish a university. Meghalaya was more suitable for him to
materialize his dream. Eleven km away from Guwahati he acquired
the land for the university and in 2008 Meghalaya government
approved his university and he became the founder of University of
Science & Technology, Meghalaya (USTM) and nominated as
Chancellor of the University by the Governor of Meghalaya, the
Visitor of USTM.
The USTM has been established in 350 acres of picturesque
landscape which is situated about 85 km from the capital of
Meghalaya, Shillong and about 11 km from capital of Assam, Dispur.
The university was approved but Mahbubul had not enough money to
start the academic session. He had to take loan of Rs 10 crore
from the bank for the construction of the building. Who’s who of
the community visited his university but no one offered him any
kind of help.
Like Sir Syed he has also developed many ailments due to mental
strain. But he is quite hopeful that after 5-6 years he will
overcome his financial problems. Sir Syed got support from lots of
Muslim Nawabs and Muslim masses in general. Unfortunately Sir Syed
of our time is not lucky like him. So he is fighting alone.
Last year when the Bodoland violence left lakhs of Muslims
homeless Mahbubul came in new Avatar. He started working
tirelessly for the educational rehabilitation of the homeless
children who were living in relief camps. More than 35,000
students were affected by the violence of which 13,000 were school
going children. Under the educational rehabilitation programme
organizations and philanthropists were invited to support those
children through sponsorship, financial aid, adoption,
establishing residential schools for girls, establishing
industrial training institute, and coaching and guidance centers.
For Mahbubul Hoque 'Life and wealth are gifted to us by the
Almighty for doing good deeds and to serve the society for which
we are answerable on the Day of Judgement'.
Being the true heir of visionary Sir Syed, Mahbubul says we the
Aligarians can establish one university every year at our own.
