Incredible Pakistan

Incredible Pakistan

Following article by me was printed in the MORE magazine for the month of May,21011

While the inside and outside media stay busy in portraying Pakistan negatively to the whole world, they forget to illuminate the other side of the picture. The other side is comparatively positive and brighter, hence spreading the message of hope among the citizens of Pakistan. Though bombs, suicide attacks, corruption, unemployment and other evils cover most of the space in our news bulletins, there should also be a dedicated portion to enlighten the efforts of our talented youth. Our exuberant youth possess lots of talent, intellectual skills, and great ideas to turn impossible into possible. Despite of instability in Pakistan’s political and economical conditions, our youth have high potential to grow tremendously. Young talent of Pakistan keeps setting world records on international forums and makes the whole nation feel proud at them. Meeting with Arfa karim Randhawa- World’s youngest Microsoft certified professional, Bill Gates exclaimed that he does not know whether or not this young wonder kid was impressed by him, but he was certainly impressed by marvelous intellectual level and skills she possess.

Arfa Karim is a young student from Faisalabad, who at the age of 9, in 2004 became the youngest Microsoft certified professional. In recognition of her smartness, she was invited by Bill gates to visit the Microsoft headquarters in U.S.A which itself is a big honor. Arfa represented Pakistan on many international platforms. She was also invited by the IT professionals of Dubai for a two week stay. After the news was disclosed by foreign media, a competition was at rise in Pakistani TV channels and newspapers. All wanted to give full coverage of Arfa’s accomplishment, which in fact is an achievement for the whole nation, on their channels and newspapers respectively. She is a highly decorated student, one of her age, with many different rewards.

·         In 2005 August, Prime minister of Pakistan of that time presented her “Fatima Jinnah Gold medal” in the field of science and technology.

·         She was also rewarded with “Salaam Pakistan youth award”, in August 2005 by the president of Pakistan.

·         Arfa is the youngest recipient of Pakistan’s highest civil award “Pride of performance”.

Arfa Karim is the young bright star of Pakistan, who despite of all corruptions in Pakistan, grabbed this position and enabled us stand with our heads high. Not only Arfa, but the list goes on. Pakistan has produced incredible talent, rich in education, science, engineering, IT and software development. All we need to do is to focus our talent and help them in growing more. 

Ammar Afzal is another young IT genius from Okara. He secured one more world record for Pakistan by winning first global position in Stanford University England’s (SUE) World Computer Soft ware Course. He surprised the whole world by obtaining 4.99 marks out of 5 in Oracle 10. At the time of setting this record, he was the student of class 9^th and aged 15. “Ammar Afzal has earned dignity and honor for the nation by winning the top global position in the contest,” Sahiwal division commissioner Tariq Mehmood Khan said.

·         He was awarded with a cheque of Rs 100,000.

·         British Computer society has also offered him a job of Rs 25 lack per month.

·         He was also offered by US to accept their nationality for himself and his family, but this bold, patriot rejected the offer and vowed to serve Pakistan after completion of his education.

Pakistan is a land of world setters. If full attention is made sure on the government’s part to these growing young buds, then no doubt Pakistan will be no. 1 in every field. Our youth is optimistic and talented. They just need a leadership.  

Babar Iqbal is another legendary student from Dera Ismail Khan who is commonly known as “Genius Cyber Kid”. Making world records for Babar is not something new. At the age of 12, he sets forth world record in the field of computer. He is also one of the youngest Microsoft certified professional and the youngest certified wireless network administrator. He also became youngest certified web professional associate at the age of 10. Recently, at the age of 12, he has made yet another world record in Dubai and is also recognized as Youngest Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist now. Interestingly, the participants of this competition were aged from 20 to 35 years. Babar was the youngest participant, and secured the first position by defeating all others who were double in age to him.

·         President Asif Ali Zardari invited him to the presidency where he was awarded with a cheque of Rs 5 million in recognition of his extraordinary achievements. 

Muhammad Waqar Qureshi is a young student of BCS. He is just 20 but has grabbed three inventions in the field of IT on his credit. He bears a distinctive mind and is always ready to explore. Government should create opportunities where these bright stars of nation could polish their skills even more. His first invention is:

·         Non-touch Interface System

This is basically a glove which has all needed software and hardware applications, attached with a pen. By using this technology, one can be able to operate all his system including typing without even touching PC. This technology can be used as the substitute to our sometimes-annoying-mouse. “This is the first time that a person can interact with the computer through the air without touching anything. If a patient is on bed and he can’t move or walk then he can use his operating system through this device.” says Waqar.

·         Second invention under his belt is “Head Tracking System”. By wearing this device on head, cursor on monitor moves with the movement of head. Unfortunately, this device cannot perform well as it requires “Video goggles”. He could not attach video goggles as they are too expensive for him to afford. After the video goggles are added to this tool, it will be converted into Virtual Reality system as was shown in the Matrix film. It will leave the user with a feeling that he is inside the game, if the device is worn while playing games.

·         Waqar has also invented a system which can easily switch on or off all electrical appliances without any physical movement. “It was my personal project, keeping in view my budget and requirements. Presently I’m operating only eight devices, but it can operate a maximum of 250 devices, which is the maximum range of a parallel port.”, says Waqar.

·         These days he is working on another incredible, amazing project known as “Brain Interface system”. This device will be able to convert ones thoughts into occurrence.

Students like Waqar are an asset to the country. It is now our duty to nurture their talent.

In 1986 world saw FIRST ever computer virus created by Farooq Alvi brothers from Lahore. They named it “Brain”. IT was a boot sector virus that wildly spread across the world. However, Pakistani lads are also not lagging behind in the antivirus technology. Hafiz Usman and Imran made the first ever anti-virus of Pakistan which is also registered with the government of Pakistan. It is developed by “Real Soft”- a Pakistani software solutions company. This antivirus is available in market with the name of “Instant virus killer”. It is capable of not only killing the virus, but can also recover the lost data within seconds. Moreover it can fix the reboot issues of Microsoft windows affected by the virus and can give 90% protection against USBs, web and pirated CD viruses. 

Pakistanis are talented and genius in their fields. Be it the armed forces or the scientists, the educationalists or the researchers, the sportsmen or the software developers, we HAVE some of the finest brains in our country. Our people can do anything. What we only need is some motivation and opportunities. There is a shortage of energy all across the country and government finds no appropriate solution than increasing the rates of petroleum products. It should rather appreciate its own students who always lend their services to solve the problems of the country. The students of NED university Karachi created a fuel efficient car at a cost of 0.5 million named UZBAA. “The car is fully locally created and can cover 80 kilometers per litre, it has 70.cc cold back engine. The body is prepared from fiber glass, whereas its total weight is 125 kg”, says Haris Rehman, leader of the group. The car was made to represent Pakistan in the global competition arranged in Malaysia.

Pakistani students keeps astonishing world with their remarkable achievements in their respective fields. Observing the talent of Pakistan, the cream of our nation is being exported to other countries. They are offered with attractive scholarships, jobs and other opportunities by foreign countries. Unfortunately foreign powers can recognize our hidden rubies, but we keep our eyes closed. These students need our appreciation and ample opportunities. Contradictory to education sector, an average player from the national Pakistani cricket team earns more than 7 to 8 million per year as revealed by Pakistan official stats. They are also awarded with millions of rupees depending on their performance and numbers of fours and sixes per match. Sad, we have funds for sports but nothing for these bright young students of our country. Government needs to rearrange its preferences and should keep education as the top most of its agenda. Moreover, government and NGOs of Pakistan should arrange meetups for tech savvy youth and others, where they will be able to share ideas and develop recommendations, to serve their country in the best possible ways.

Freedom of speech and expression: A western lobby

Freedom of speech and expression: A western lobby

When a scholar was asked to define “Freedom of speech and freedom of expression”, he said, “Stretch your arm to full length and where it ends, the limit of your freedom ends”. Freedom of speech is one of the most fundamental rights of every individual. Its existence is necessary for democracy and human dignity. Almost in every country around the world, some degree of “freedom of speech & expression” is practiced. Surprisingly, West alone seems most interested in free speech and appears as the biggest advocate. While free speech is everyone’s right, it should be practiced in limits. Nothing in world has infinite boundaries. Similarly, absolute free speech is just a myth. According to the dictionary of "Oxford University Press"- "Oxford guide to British and American culture", Freedom of speech is:"The right to express any opinion in public. This right became part of American law under the "First Amendment". If the opinions expressed are false or damage a person's reputation, however that person can take legal action under US law. In Britain people are free to express most opinions, but it is against the law to express some ideas, e.g. ideas that aim to cause RACIAL hatred."
Free speech has been adapted dastardly, by west as a tool to defame and target Islam and Muslims. To what they call freedom of speech and expression is nothing but western lobby and terrorism. There are hundreds of examples where Islam has been targeted on the name of free speech. Where in the free speech acts it is allowed to damage some one’s reputation just because of anger and hatred towards him, let alone defaming two billion Muslims of the world? If the absolute freedom of speech is allowed to prevail then world will become a jungle where everyone would be busy in dragging others’ legs. Therefore certain level of censorship should be appreciated. Even CNN and BBC practice self-censor ship, as absolute freedom is neither desirable, nor possible.

Unfortunately, extreme detestation towards Muslim has led the western media to manipulate free speech. As a result, they end up disgracing Islam as a religion and become responsible for hurting the values of Muslims in the every possible way. Western media and activists of free speech keep launching campaigns, to prove their enmity towards Islam in favor of right of free speech. It is just another source of pulling them away from being called a “civilized nation”. Why Muslims are exasperated as a race? Why Islam is defamed as a religion and Hijab as a dress code? Why Islamic architecture- Minarets are being banned for the sake of freedom of expression?
Western lobby setup the stage for freedom of speech back in September 2005, when a Danish newspaper “Jylland-Posten” printed blasphemous cartoons of the revered prophet of Islam Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W). After this, a series of campaigns to vex Muslims were launched. Some of them are as follows:

• Geert Wilders, a Dutch Politician clearly demanded a ban on the holy book of Muslims i.e Quraan.
• He also produced a film “Fitna” in 2008, in which he shows Islam as a religion of violence, communism and Nazism.
• In 2010 Molly Norris a Seattle cartoonist repeats the history of 2005 and once again the blasphemous cartoons were drawn as a mockery.
• Molly’s evil cartoon series “south Park” led to a global controversy and outraged 2 billion Muslims of the world. The famous social website “Facebook” was used as platform to send the message of hatred for the Muslims of the entire world. A contest “Draw Muhammad Day” was initiated which caught fame and support of non-believers including Christians, jews, hindus , Sikhs and pagans with the speed of fire.
• Terry Jones, a pastor of Florida came up with an idea of “Burn Quran Day” last year, which as expected got the attention of Islamic antagonists. Some 40,000 copies of Holy Koran were burnt under his leadership.
• Recently, a new bar in the business area of Manhattan, Ne w York, has been opened, named as Apple Mecca which is similar to Kaaba in shape. This Bar will be used for supply of Wine and Drinks.
• Several times, verses from Holy Quran are printed on clothing, beddings and shoes to mock Quran and play with the sentiments of Muslims.
• Asya bibi, a Paksitani Christian passed derogatory comments about holy prophet (P.B.U.H). Though it created an endless debate, Asya bibi immediately caught the attention and support of western lobby.
Islam is a religion of peace .Islamic views towards freedom of speech are in complete contradiction with the views of capitalism. In the capitalist ideology God and religion are kept separated from one’s life affairs. Human beings define how to live their lives free of the constraints of religion which is why freedom of individual, ownership, religion and speech are essential cornerstones of Capitalism. Whereas in Islam, it is Allah who gave the right of speech to people by defining the limits as to what is acceptable and unacceptable. “Whosoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, then let him speak good (khair) or remain silent.”, Says Quraan. History proves that Muslims have always respected other religions and prophets as for them, all prophets are equally respectable. In 2003, a controversial book “Davinci code” by “Dan brown” came onto the scene, in which “Mary Magdalene”- a prostitute was shown as the wife of Jesus (Hazrat Isa) Christ. Later on a film was also produced on the same topic. It blew up Christians, leading to the world wide protests, demanding ban on the publication of book and film. Muslims along with Christians condemned the publication and production of the book and film respectively.
The limits and boundaries for freedom of speech in west need to be re-defined. In every country there are laws to protect religious books and personalities, known as “Blasphemy laws”. In Pakistan, blasphemy laws have been criticized and an amendment is being demanded. Opponents of blasphemy laws in Pakistan claim that these laws are depriving minorities to their right of free speech and freedom of expression. Interestingly, if defaming Islam is freedom of speech to Europe, then why not there are any campaigns in support of “Holocaust”? Geert wilders produced a film against Islam but why did not he choose to produce a film on the inhumane treatment of Israelis towards Palestinians? It shows that freedom of speech is nothing but a western lobby, which does not allow Muslims to practice right of free speech and expression.

The debate of free speech leaves us with following questions:
• Why do not international media speak up against the cruel behavior of Americans with the prisoners of Guantanamo bay?
• Why no steps have been taken yet to bring Afia back to Pakistan?
• Why minarets have been banned in western countries?
• Why a Muslim lady shaheeda-tul-Hijab (title) was murdered in a court, as she spoke in the favor of Hijab?
• Why in US Muslims are forced to get bodily screened?
Freedom of speech does not mean degrading others. It is a right to express one’s views, but by being in social constraints. You are free to express yourself but there is no margin for offending any person, race, or any ethnic group in the laws. Scholars of the entire world should join hands despite of the differences in their religions or cast and should make joint efforts to mark, the clear boundaries of right of freedom of speech and expression. These laws and rights should be used to spread love in the world, not hatred.

Pakistan's weak cyber force

Pakistan's weak cyber force

Following article appeared in MAY,2011 MORE magazine:

There is a famous saying,"The task of the modern educator is not to cut down jungles, but to irrigate deserts." Besides primary education which is considered “basic” right of every child, there are some other elements as well, in whose absence even the primary education would be insufficient to bring any change. World is becoming a global village, being bombarded with new inventions and modern technologies. If one has to keep his identity and integrity intact, he must get his nation equipped with the modern education. Unfortunately in this “Digital Era”, where the rest of world is moving steps further towards modern scientific and technical education, we are still cursing our Primary Education system, which doesn’t let us stand with our heads high on the international platform.

We are in 21^st century which is known as “Digital Era”, therefore producing enough IT literates is the need of time .Not having IT skills will soon be as serious as not being able to read. Lord Mitchell, chairman of an international IT service provider put it into words like this, “We live in a very flat and accessible world so we have to ensure that our kids are prepared with the skills they need for 21^st century. There are few jobs that don’t require any IT so people without these skills will become increasingly disadvantaged”. Pakistan, on the other hand has failed to produce enough IT literates. BOI (Board of Investment Pakistan) brings about very alarming statistical data. Pakistan is a country consisting of 63% youth of the total population (under 25years) with above 20 million internet users, but posses only 3,125 technical and vocational centers.  It is obvious, that government of Pakistan has failed to develop ground for IT education despite of the impressive IT policies. There is a need of creating enough opportunities that could meet the current needs.

It is even more saddening that we could not keep the status of dignity which our forefathers had achieved after struggling hard. Muslims ruled the world over 1000 years by proving their mettle to world. Spain and Baghdad were considered the centre of Education and Literature in the Muslim era.  As now, everyone seeks admission in western universities like Oxford and Harvard, there was a time when we were leading the world with our educational institutions. Al-Azher University Cairo, Egypt is an evidence that speaks for itself. This University was built in 970 AD and was the centre of Islamic learning. During the reign of Izz al-Din Aydmer , al-Azher became the highest ranking institution of Islamic learning in the whole world. For over a thousand years Al-Azher has produced thousands of eminent scholars and educationists who worked for preserving Islamic heritage and identity. In the late 19^th century some modern obligatory subjects were also introduced in the university.

Not only in the field of religious learning but Muslims also paved the way for the basic concept of engineering. The world’s first robot was also invented by a Muslim in 11^th century. That robot could sing songs, play music and beat drums for the audience. This proves that Muslims had a rich religious, educational and modern culture. In every field whether science or arts, it would be Muslims winning the laurels. Muslims were the first to bless the world with the basic concepts in the field of physics, algebra, chemistry etc. On these pillars, foundation of the modern world was laid. Unfortunately, as we started moving away from our pre-destined path, we lost our much- struggled identity.

Contrary to the past, Muslims are the most oppressed class now. If, we have to snatch back our identity then we will have to dress up ourselves with modern tools of education. History proves that unless we make education affordable and in everyone’s reach we cannot achieve our targets. Pakistan’s existence on the map of world is a solid example. When in the sub-continent Muslims were lagging behind due to illiteracy, Sir Syed Ahmed khan stood up and took the responsibility of creating education awareness among the masses of Muslims. Same is to be done now; we have plans but no implications. We form policies but fail to create their followers.

In this challenging world, Pakistan needs to pay most of its attention to IT sector. Government should:

·         Launch programs for IT training and IT education across the country, without differentiating in rural and urban areas.

·          Ensure the cheap availability of computer sets with internet connection for students.

·          Launch schemes and educate youth for the constructive use of ICT.

·          Inter connect all the universities, engineering and medical colleges, and other higher educational institutes for improved quality of education.

·          Inter connect all the government institutes and departments.

·         Establish virtual classrooms that would assist use of audio/visual aids- internet and video facilities to students.

·         Establish a computerized system of data collection and processing in hospitals, public care centers, police stations and other government departments.

·         Develop computer literacy programs, offering registered and recognized degrees to the students. This would be a step above to the unrecognized small computer centers established in every nook and corner of the country, which are offering excellence only in small courses like MS Word, Excel etc.

·         Make Investments in IT training.

·         Establish technology parks for both software and hardware industry.

Instead of paying immediate concern to these very severe needs, we find our government spending millions in “Danish School Projects”. Government primary preference should be a focus on the performance of existing schools with an increased attention on IT education. Punjab government has though launched “Punjab IT Labs project” with an estimated amount of Rs.5 billion but this project is also unable to provide expected results as we lack the vision required. Providing labs, only with the infrastructure is not the total solution. These labs must have skilled IT literate personnel, who would deliver lectures, train students and make the most of the given equipments. Contradictorily, these labs have old-fashioned teachers/trainers who themselves need to be trained first.  They cannot understand the essence of IT, therefore are unable to deliver purposeful information. Moreover, these teachers are allegedly found in taking Rs 50 to 100 per student as an entry fees in the IT labs.

As Pakistan is unable to produce enough IT literates, Pakistan is losing its strength on the cyber front. There may be a strong cyber army who possess the abilities of attacking and counter-attacking, who can penetrate deep into the system of enemies, but these professionals are too limited to be mentioned.  Rather than war in the battle fields with bomb and missiles, we need to educate our population with modern education, giving most of the importance to IT education. In order to hoist our flag on the map of world, we need to win the war of economy which can be achieved only by establishing more and more technology parks, by encouraging the growth of software and hardware products, and by supporting the export of these products. Government should allocate enough IT funds to turn the 63% of our raw youth into a strong cyber force. Otherwise, instead of moving forward we will be taking a reverse gear in near future!

Q55 She phone!

Q55 She phone!

Qmobile launched its cell phones in Pakistan last year and just within a year it became a leading selling brands in Pakistani handset industry. Website of Q mobile says, “almost 500,000 units were sold out last year”. There are 11 models of Q mobile available, co-branded with companies like Yamaha Wolfson and Swarovski Crystals. The unique features of Q mobiles are their stylish look and feel, QWERTY keypad, touch phones, social networking and affordability.
Impressed from the TVC of Qmobile, I decided to buy She phone. The reason I was impressed because they (Q Mobile) selected a hi-profile model “Eman Ali” for the commercial, which puts most of the customers in confusion that the phone will be something really good. It is beautiful no doubt, but beauty is not enough to fulfill all the needs. There must be good software inside (OS) to take care of all you want from a mobile phone.iman ali q55 she mobile 300x200 Q55 She phone review, not the best mobilephone

* Company claims one touch launch of Facebook, Skype, Yahoo, hotmail and E-buddy messengers with easy Google search, Google talk Operamini and twitter.
* Supports dual SIMs
* 2.0 mega pixels camera
* Full QWERTY keypad
* 2.4″ QVGA LCD (240 x 320 Resolution)
* FM Radio / FM Recording
* Bluetooth / EDGE / GPRS / WAP 2.0 / MMS
* Internal Memory 20MB
* External Memory (Support Up to 16 GB)
* According to the company it can run Java applications as well.

However, it is important to note that all that glitters is not gold. There are several flaws in Q55, that one, if knew earlier, would never have bought it. What I experienced is mentioned below

* Q55 allows one touch Facebook launch, true. But it is not the headache of the company, whether or not you are able to USE Facebook as well. Company promises for one-touch LAUNCH only!
* You need to launch Facebook, every time you want to log into it. However, it will never log you in. Login at Facebook in Q-55 always fails.
* She phone’s Google search engine facility is also another garbage. It will load you a page with non-supported script (boxes only) every time. In order to keep continuing your work, there will be a microscopic text for “Google English” which you need to click on.
* Finally, you can use Facebook after so many hurdles by making a search in Google search engine (English version). This is a handset about which company claims EASIEST social networking!
* Bookmarks also do not work. The purpose of bookmark is to save your time by loading up the desired page quickly. Sadly, it will only load you a page of non-supported scripts. User is required to repeat all the cycle every time. a) Launch Google search engine. b) Select Google English c) Open your desired page d) Go for page’s English version to fulfill your needs, otherwise again you will be left with a page of non-supported scripts.
* Moreover, Internet speed is as slow as turtle. She phone shows a lot of problems in picking up the GPRS settings. There is no auto-configuration.
* There is no facility of Zoom for pictures. Only camera album pictures which go in “Image viewer” can be zoomed in and zoomed out.
* For the rest of the pictures, there is no facility of easy viewing. You need to press back button and select every picture INDIVIDUALLY to view it.
* Another mega flaw is in the SMS application. It does not tell you about the SMS length. You will never know that the SMS you are going to send is equal to how many messages.
* There are no short keys for turning the phone silent. You need to select a separate “user-profile” if you want to turn your phone on silent mode.
* With all these flaws regarding internet facilities, if you still dare to send an email via She phone, you will have to suffer from great disappointment, that you cannot type more than 120 words in the email.
* However, IM works quite well on Q55.
* It supports java dictionaries, but with a mess. Q55 has QWERTY keypad, while in dictionary it supports only numeric keys for searching a word.
* You cannot mark, unmark all messages and photos for deleting or moving them into another folder, respectively.
* To many users, change in RINGTONE can be the biggest problem ever. Does not matter, how hard you try, ringtone will not change. Though it shows that it has been, but when the phone rings, it will play the “default ringtone” only.
* If one still wants to change the ringtone, then first your stamina will be tested! Yes, you can change it. Go in your phone book and assign your desired ringtone to all your contacts. Only this way you can get rid of the default ringtone. However, this trick it is limited to the “known numbers” only.
* What worse? The phone does not have its own music, ringtone or wall papers library at all. Even no themes are available.

Q55 She phone launch price was Rs 9,000 but now, the new company rates are Rs 6,999. At some shops, after a bit of negotiation you can get it for Rs 6,600 or 6,700 as well. After these many listed flaws, you will be compelled to confess “All that glitters isn’t gold”! Do not compromise on quality just because of its cheap rates. Sooner or later, you will have to get another phone for yourself!

It is worth mentioning that all the series of Qmobile is a copied version of India’s Micromax phones. It is available by the name of Q55 bling in India. Both phones are replicas of each other. Indian users have also quoted the above mentioned problems in micromax bling. I think all the handsets are made by one supplier, who is bombarding in Pakistani and Indian mobile phone industry with Q55 she phone and Q55 Bling respectively. Had one of them been a patent product of any specific company, then it would have sued the other company for infringement. It seems Q series is a china mobile series, which has assigned brands to them with one year warranty to increase its sales. If the series is a real product, then management of Q mobile should add software in it as per the needs of Pakistani market.

Best gift of Mothers day!

Best gift of Mothers day!

I cannot express my feelings and emotions in words, though I wish I could. Yesterday was one of the most important days of my life and yes the happiest moment for my mom as well. I alhamdullilah , secured second position in “Karachi University” department of “Media Sciences and communication” for year 2010/12

Earlier I stood third in Karachi board of Intermediate, but the circle of happiness in which I’m flowing right now is 100 times more than the old one. I believe, if you are loyal to yourself, your parents and your loved ones, then none of your efforts go waste. Give your best to your task, struggle hard, leave all on Allah with full faith in him. And yes, stay LOYAL- that’s the key to success, that’s what I have experienced.

Those who cheat can never come forward, believe me I have observed it myself especially in these two years of uni life:) Cheating and forgery can though give us temporary happiness and temporary status, but once it is over, we FALL down, destroying the entire fake image of our personalities. Allah is keeping a sharp eye on us. Believe it, that if you call HIM for help, He will not leave you alone. Victory is for the “Believers”!

I don’t think I could have pleased my mom more than I have pleased her now, on this “mother’s day”. This all became possible due to her prayers of course.

LOVE YOU MOM!

War against terrot-where Pakistan stands?

War against terrot-where Pakistan stands?

Osama has died million times and once again he dies. The best part is that he died in Paistan.Srange, he was hidden in Abbotaabad, which may be considered as the “Head quarter” of American intelligence agency “Black water”. We all know that black water is a lot active in Pakistan, especially in the areas surrounding capital.

Some years ago or so, when we were pushed in war against terror I wasn’t as mentally mature I’m now but still I felt that we are not doing something good by providing our land to America for attacks on Afghanistan. I agree that Afghanis are not our friends at all. I never appreciate Zia’s policy of welcoming Afghanis open heartedly in Pakistan. It’s our country and only we deserve to live in it. Our forefathers shed their blood and sacrificed their lives for us, not for them. Pakistan is heading towards destruction. In my opinion more than parliamentarians, more than PM and President, only citizens of Pakistan have rights to decide about the future of their country. Why the hell on first place Afghanis were allowed to migrate to Pakistan? Whoever came into government just worked on fillingin his pockets? Zia did jihad or whatever but he was a pro-American. He also fought a war of America. Now too some years back we were pushed in “War against terror” only to get “LOVE” from America. Government of Pakistan spent billion of dollars in this war, did operations in its own country, and took the lives of many innocent people, just to get so-called aid from America. Our government is “Murderer”, PM zardari, geelani, Kyani and Pervez Musharraf are all culprits, may be agents of America. Before this war against terror, there were no as such suicide bombers, no Taliban’s and no terrorist activities. This was all the out-growth of America’s evil nature. I remember when America asked Pakistan to be its Patron for war against terror all were afraid that if Pakistan did not agree to the terms and conditions of America then we will be sent to Stone Age. Well where are we standing now? Is it something different from Stone Age? Even after spending billions on this war we are still in danger, even in more critical and life-threatening dangers. Pakistan is no more a sovereign state. Curse on the entire coward Army of Pakistan. Shame on the “Army of Pakistan”, General Kiyani should be ashamed of himself. Such a coward chief of army staff I have never seen in my life. In my opinion there is no need of nurturing the white elephant of Pakistan Army when they are unable to protect Pakistan. More than 70% of country’s budget is spent on the army of 7lack cowards. But what are we getting in return?

Raymond Davis in the context of current event:

We all believe that Raymond was a hi-status American agent whom our stupid government released without even taking us in confidence. Raymond deserved “DEATH” or at least we should have made a deal to bring Afia back. I don’t know if there is a single person loyal to Pakistan in our government or opposition. America once imprisoned one of Nigerian minister for 21 years as he was involved in the accident of a US citizen. In the light of this Raymond Davis should be hanged to death right after the case was registered against him.
We released him with those thousands of pictures he took during his stay in Pakistan. I DONOT BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS ANY USAMA IN ABBOTTABAD. The changing and still developing American statements can prove it.
At first we heard that:
• Usama had no weapons.
• There were no telephonic or mobile usage in that compound, therefore American intelligence started suspecting that Osama is inside this compound.
Later on, the next day we heard different contradictory statements from US officials:
• According to them they killed usama, though they wanted to arrest him alive. But as Osama had powerful weapons, they were not left with any other option than killing him.
• Forces recovered hundreds of laptops and mobile phone devices.
• Thirdly, they claim that Osama did not keep Relations with any of the neighbors, then why was he interested in inviting children to him by awarding them RS 50 per ball? If this world be the case, then Osama would never love to interact with the street kids!
See, yourself and judge.

Secondly OSAMA was the most wanted TERRORIST of the world, and all the NATO forces wanted his death. I just can’t understand that why his dead body was buried at sea when the entire world was hunting for him? At least they should have celebrated their victory in front media. Were they so much afraid of his dead body even, that they wanted to get rid of him immediately?

I personally believe that this raid on Osama is just a fraud by Obama as elections are approaching. So, all the US presidents use Osama to win elections, that’s why pity Osama keeps dying again and again. What a magic!! Strangely enough, the weird and fishy construction of that compound, seriously ring the bells. In my opinion either it was built for backwater agents or there was some important documents hidden by Pakistan army or government which US army wanted to occupy. Most probably, atomic program of Pakistan isn’t safe anymore. This compound could also be one of the Raymond Davis’s camera’s special? What do you think?

We as a nation, demand resignation from President, PM and Chief-of-Army staff! Protect Pakistan or be off! Be a pet dog of America yourself! But we will not let you USE us!

P.S: General kiyani and Shuja Pasha-Head of ISI have got three and one year extension respectively. Don’t you think this all was preplanned? And govt of Pakistan was equally involved in it? They were assigned to assist US forces, so they were awarded with a prior extension!

P.P.S: I m sorry dear readers, weekends are always so busy, as I had more important works and more important posts for my blog this weekend, I couldn’t form “the interview “ as I promised. InshaAllah I will not make you people wait long. Kindly do me a favor and help me bringing those people to me, who took part on creation of Pakistan. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

NUST inroduces cheap Biodiesel alternate energy

NUST inroduces cheap Biodiesel alternate energy

Students of National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) have produced low-priced bio-fuel, made from Jatropha plant. NUST is one of the top 350 universities of the world and is among Pakistan’s leading universities. The price to make one liter of biodiesel is just Rs 25 which is extremely cheaper than the current crude rates. Last year, cabinet committee drafted regulations to encourage bio-diesel production and cut the energy bills. Our oil imports are expected to reach 6.5 billion dollars by the end of this year.

NUST NUST inroduces cheap Biodiesel alternate energyHowever, if Pakistan assures that 10% of total furnace oil and diesel consumed is mixed with biomass energy crops, then we could cut import expenditure by as much as $ 1 billion. Ex-Federal Minister for Science &; Technology Senator Mohammad Azam Khan Swati had said, “This provision is going to limit the greenhouse gas emission from vehicles. It will also assure more reliable and secure sources of energy, as the level of fuel produced from crops are expected to double by 2015”.
The idea of “Fast track bio-diesel production process” was presented by School of Chemical and Materials Engineering- A school of NUST. Seeds are obtained from Jatropha plants which are processed further to get bio-diesel.

* Jatropha Carcus is an oil bearing tree, which can be cultivated easily in semi- arid regions of marginal soils. Sind, Baluchistan, many areas of Khyber Pakhtoonkhwah and Punjab are ideal places for its cultivation. It can also be cultivated as a hedge around fields or on already used lands.
* If Jatropha is planted in hedges it can produce 0.8 kg to 1.0 kg seeds per meter of live fence.
* Jatropha takes 4 to 5 years to mature fully. If rain fed, these plants can produce 0.35 to 0.375 gallon of oil per tree or 375 gallons per hectare or 150 gallons per acre. Whereas if irrigated with 3 to 5 liters per plant every 15 days, it can double the amount.
* One acre of Jatropha plant is sufficient to make 2000 liters of biodiesel.
* The biodiesel is clean burning and the process inherently removes a lot of impurities.

Currently, Philippines and Brazilians are using oil made from Jatropha seeds, where it grows naturally. NUST has also maintained a model farm consists of 15acre of Jatropha cultivation. Half a million trees have already been planted. Also some 4-5 million plants will be planted this year. Moreover, most of the generators and vehicles are also running on bio-diesel fuel in NUST with no issues at all.
If government supports this project, and shows honest concern in the field, then Pakistan can cut down heavy expenditures of Oil import. Moreover people of Pakistan will also observe a noticeable decrease in inflation.

Billboards and mobile towers still to be shifted on Solar Power

Billboards and mobile towers still to be shifted on Solar Power

Punjab government has failed to shift mobile towers and billboards from electric power to solar power. Although Telecom Sector in Pakistan is struggling hard for cost-cutting of infrastructure and for energy conservation, shifting 12,000 mobile towers and 700 billboards across Punjab from electric to solar power is a big deal.

Last year Punjab government intimated mobile service providers and advertising agencies to shift their power source from electric to solar after 30th June 2010. However, on the intervention of federal government, Punjab I&P department extended deadline for telecom companies. Around 50 to 60 megawatts of electricity could be saved by converting the power source, but neither Punjab government nor Ministry of Environment has managed to implement the plan fully. Earlier in a joint respond filed to MoIT (Ministry of Information and Telecommunication) , telecom operators had expressed their inability to shift their towers on solar energy. “You know, Punjab government has made an unrealistic demand. It is quite impossible for the industry to shift all its towers on solar energy due to shortage of solar cells in the market”, stated an official of the telecom sector.

This plan is yet to be implemented, but ministry of Water and power put forwarded new energy conservation measures for the upcoming six months on 13th April 2011. Federal Minister of water and power, Naveed Qamar was briefing National assembly about the measures, he said, “Power supply to billboards and decorative lightings to commercials would be cut off”. A telecom company official said that move to convert BTS towers from electric power supply to solar energy was “like a bomb shell” on the telecom industry. “Everyone is bewildered and clueless. We are bound to follow the guidelines of the PTA and the federal ministry. Notices from the Punjab government were beyond understanding,” he added.

Shifting BTS sites from electric to solar energy needs heavy investment from both government and operators. However:

* We should not forget the efforts of Telecom sector in this regard. Warid Telecom was the first one to deploy Solar Powered Macro Base Station (BTS) in Pakistan in 2008.It has enabled Warid telecom to increase its service range in the far flung areas where electricity in not available.
* Telenor Pakistan is the first one to complete largest solar-powered communication network in Universal Service Fund-assisted areas.
* Zong is working aggressively towards the solar solutions. The company is near to complete 100 solar cells sites.
* Out of 50 solar power cell sites 47 are in the USF-assisted areas of Mirpur Khas and Bahawalpur. The other sites are deployed in Islamabad and Khyber pukhtoonkhawah.
* Mobilink and Ufone have also signed agreement for tower sharing which will help in elimination of carbon footprint and energy conservation.

Recommendations:
Since converting the energy source from electric to solar power is a highly expensive plan, government should play its part practically rather than enforcing it illogically. Either government should subsidize the project or assist Telco’s by launching soft taxation policies.

One SIM card against ONE NIC-An impractical decision.

One SIM card against ONE NIC-An impractical decision.

Following article got published on "ApnaTime.com"
Last week Interior Minister Rehman Malik ordered to block 5000 unregistered SIMs in Pakistan by 12:00 on that night.He passed these direction while he was visiting Karachi in order to address the ever deteriorating law and order situation in Karachi.

As expected, no operator took note of his direction whereas, PTA responded very firmly on the issue of blocking 5000 SIMs without any procedure. One of the news channels, it said, Rehman Malik’s statement to block 5000 SIMs over night is ridiculous. We have already blocked some 602,234 stolen mobilephones during last 3 years”.

Authority further said, “There are more than 100 million SIMs operating in the country and the mobilephones carrying Multiple IMEI numbers can’t be deactivated without proper verification. It is impossible to eliminate SIMs which are issued on fake names and the ones which are unverified.

The interior minister has once again issued directions to block 1 million SIMs along with the re-verification of entire customer base in Pakistan. Besides, it has asked the authority and the cellular companies to issue one SIM to each subscriber.

Currently, a subscriber with a valid NIC can buy 10 SIMs of each operator in his/her name The same phenomenon has swelled the cellular customerbase to 100 million active/inactive users across the country.

Analysts say, Abrupt blocking of SIMs will hinder the swift growth of telecom sector but will bring no good to the current prevailing security issues regarding unregistered SIMs. Moreover, mobile service operators are protesting against the new policy of issuing one SIM card over one NIC because;

• There are number of revenue generating young users under the age of 18 who have the limitation to have their SIM cards registered in the name of elderly people of their families.
• Females who are adults, but married, have their SIMs card registered in the name of their husbands.
• Telecom sector is the only industry in Pakistan which is contributing a major chunk to the national exchequer, thus maximum revenue to the country. Creating obstacles in its growth by implementing such impractical policies will cause a great loss to the country’s economy.
• As per the previous laws formed by PTA, customers were facilitated to keep ten SIMs of each operator at one time. Due to this facility, customers were able to avail many different packages of various service providers. It greatly enhanced the proliferation of network providers across the country. Blocking the SIMs will cause only a business loss and will not be able to prevent increasing crime rate which is being associated with unregistered SIMs.
• According to Rehman Malik’s new policy SIMs will not be available in the markets, shops or authorized franchises. Customer will have to submit his/her details and SIM will be delivered at home by government representative. It looks so ridiculous, Is it practically possible to deliver physically the SIM cards at the door step of thousands of subscribers on daily basis?

Moreover a high level meeting held on Tuesday in ministry of interior in which following things were observed:

• A lot of mobile phones with same IMEI numbers are available in the markets which are difficult to trace if used in terrorist activities.
• The meeting emphasized, on stopping the sale of all phones, bearing the same IMEI numbers. All service providers were asked to identify the consumers holding phones with duplicate/multiple IMEI numbers against one sim within 10 days.
• It was decided in the meeting that all prepaid Sims should be verified in 30 days and SIMs with IMEI numbers need to be synchronized with the help of service provider and NADRA.
• Nobody can import phones without authorization of PTA.
• In order to get import license importer must submit phone’s specifications including IMEI numbers of SIMs and phones to PTA.

The only Solution:
As government is equally responsible in all the mess resulted by unauthorized SIMs, government should facilitate the re-registration process by funding it, instead of forming policies which have no practical value. There should be a deadline for both operators and subscribers for re-registering each and every SIM. As soon as the deadline ends; all the un-authorized SIMs should be blocked. In the end we will be left with all working and registered SIMs as per the desire of Rehman Malik!

P.S The above post was appeared in ApnaTime .

Makro Customers, Beware!

Makro Customers, Beware!

No doubt shopping under one roof is not only a luxury but becoming an unavoidable part of today’s fast and hasty life. When there are numerous competing brands, all providing same quality in same rates, then it become quite difficult for the customers to make choices. At such times super stores like MAKRO HABIB come forward to play their role. They make shopping easy and transform it into fun. You can on the spot compare rates of all your favorite brands and can also avail any package, if announced on the other brand. I personally believe that choosing from thousand varieties possess an entertainment value in it. Moreover it is also a healthy job for your mind to work out in the limited time and picking up the best option for you and your family.

Makro is a Dutch chain of large-scale wholesale supermarkets having a strong presence in many countries around the world. In Pakistan it appeared as a joint venture between house of Habib and Makro Pakistan. Makro has occupied the major position in the market of Pakistan and has managed to spread its roots across the major cities. Apparently it is making shopping easier, but the case is terrific on the other way round. Makro is playing dirty, so all the Makro customers, be ware! I have always loved to shop at Makro but it was last Sunday when I had a little argument with their management on the “Rates fraud” I caught in there. They have pasted different price tags for the same products at different stalls. It is not only confusing but a very tiresome activity to go back on different stalls for comparing prices of the very same item again and again. Sometimes they even sell on higher prices than the mentioned bottle/product prices by the company. Moreover they are also looting customers by their modern bill systems. We had always noticed that our bill is higher than we expected but we would ignore every time. Last time I noticed that to thug customers they enter the code of every item in the computer system which is detected by a machine. Obviously it is time saving technology for us and for them, but this is the very stage where they make arrangements for looting their customers. It is quite difficult, infact impossible for the customers to keep a check on the bill when there are thousands of small and big items they have purchased. They enter one item twice and sometimes thrice in the bill. For instance, we bought 2 7Ups bottles. They entered both by their codes and in quantity section, 2 was mentioned, below they added the prices again and in quantity section, mentioned 1.This was the one extra bottle which we never bought. They do similar frauds more easily in small products which go unnoticed like toothpastes, tooth brushes, soaps etc.

They were not willing to hear our complaint until we threatened to call media. I doubt if they were afraid by media or they did not want to lose a customer who gives them a business of more than RS/-10,000-12,000 per month. Makro Habib has criminal records and keeps coming in news time to time. This January Makro was raided by PSQCA when substandard and unregistered products were seized. Sometime back they were blamed to sell dead fish on the name of “Alive”. Last year in Ramadan they were caught selling fresh vegetables, fruits, and other raw material on double prices than the market prices.

This is a little effort by me to save all of my readers from the Makro frauds. Next time, whenever you go there for shopping, keep a pen and a paper in your purse/bag and make your bill yourself on the every item you add up in your shopping cart. This little tip can prevent you from a big mess and a nerve tautening job resulting in tallying your bill and the products purchased after returning home from Makro.

Enjoy shopping, but with a clever mind!

Be realistic.Cricket fever is over!

Be realistic.Cricket fever is over!

It is over. The smiles, the laughter, the thrill, everything is over. We lost a big victory. We got a big defeat. All is luck, though luck does not bind you to struggle. Even luck changes itself for those who strive hard. God helps those who help themselves. I wouldn’t suggest the idea that match was fixed neither I doubt anyone’s loyalty in Afridi Elevens. But we should accept that Pakistan DID NOT play well. The team which deserved victory more than us has got its fruit.

We are happy that our team Captain, our hero, AFRIDI made his way into Semi-Finals which none of us had expected. But for us, losing from India is a bigger trauma than losing the world cup. Whatever the grudges we may have with our team and captain, I really appreciate Afridi’s sportsmanship. He doesn’t fear his fans’ backlash. “When people give you so much love, you should also be strong enough to bear their criticism”, says Shahid Afridi.

I wish we could win from India. But how could we? I have accepted that we are a nation who has got defeated from India in every ground. We watch their movies, dance on their tunes, imitate their religious activities with proud and have added Hindi words in our language. So why do we think that these eleven members will clean us from all our corrupt habits, just by winning a Cricket Match? I mean why on earth we call Indians, a traditional opponent in cricket (only)? If we consider them our opponent then we should prove it by our actions in all the fields. I seriously don’t like these double standards. Other than cricket we love them in their every style. Hilarious isn’t it?

18 crore people prayed for only one thing, one agenda but no prayer could reach high. As a Muslim we believe that nothing can change fortune except prayers, but why still we couldn’t win? Why our prayers weren’t heard? May be we were unconsciously expecting and believing “Card readers, seers, and so called future-predicting parrots”, more than what Allah has taught us? I heard people saying that, “Pakistan has been winning all the matches until now, seems the famous Indian parrot predicted rightly and Pakistan will definitely bring world cup to home.” TV channels, analysts and anchors were busy promoting their card readers and seers. Is that what Islam has taught us? I personally believe that Allah only rejected our prayers to make us believe once again that it is only the Great Allah who has control on both obvious and hidden. No one else can peep into future. If we had won, than definitely our belief on the Indian parrot would get stronger. We have lost but, Allah might have hidden a lesson for us in it. The lesson I discovered with my limited thinking is what I shared with you. What lesson do you discover?

For now it is over, yes. But has left a question for us. Has the unity, the love, the peace and the brotherhood which we showed during world cup been over too? “Though Afridi couldn’t win the world cup, but for 30 days, he made this country a nation”-Ramiz Raja.

Life in Lahore - from the Eyes of an ex- Khi-ite (with apologies to Lahorites ;) )

Life in Lahore - from the Eyes of an ex- Khi-ite (with apologies to Lahorites ;) )

 Folk sayings like "Laur Laur ae" (Lahore is Lahore) and "jinne Laur nai wekhiya o te jamiya nai" (the one who hasn't seen Lahore has not been born yet) are quite true. Realizing this fact after 22 years of my "unborn" life I decided to move in Lahore permanently to get born.

Though Karachi is a backbone of the country and a metro city, Lahore is also not less than Karachi in any way. We all know that archaeological sites are of great importance to any country and a source of cultural and historical heritage. Lahore therefore is a very important city. It is the only city which preserves and provides a natural habitat for extinct and unique species of public transport (chinchi rickshaw and Taanga* (horse-cart)).Chinchi and Taanga both give you double joy in a single ticket. Taanga besides dropping you at your destination has a duty of decorating your roads with beautiful dung cakes (yes, no fear if you forget your path, just follow the dung cakes ;)) whereas Chinchi gives you so many jerks while traveling, and make you feel as if you are traveling in the crevices of the moon. I reckon this modern invention can help the scientists for the massage of bone and bone marrow patients*. Just make the patient sit in chinchi and lets him enjoy the ride. Within one ride he will be perfectly okay. Na hon gi haddiyan or na ho ga dard :D

The most important thing of chinchi rickshaw is its driver. Just look at his thick, long moustaches with round ends which have grown healthy by the regular massage of chinchi oil. Look at his chest which is full of pride. Seems he is aware of the fact that he owns a magical vehicle. He sits on it with so much proud as if he is not over a chinchi rickshaw but over a Spanish Bull which he has defeated and occupied after a long, unforgettable bull fight ;)

You also don't need to worry if you get lost on the roads of Lahore. Just wave to a person and a lively-at-heart lahori-iet will come to solve your problem. He will explain you all so beautifully that you will prefer being lost rather that reaching at your target. Once we had to face similar situation and when my dad asked him the way, what he explained was, is here:

"sajjey jao,tey khabbey jao,nair(nehar)aa jawe gi.bus nair de naal naal lang jao,aender pass(under pass) a jawe ga,onoo chad dowo fir ainj muro,tey oonj muro, ley wai tussi puhanch gayo,ab menu ijazt". As soon as he stopped speaking this unfamiliar weird language my dad thanked him and waved at another person to give our luck a second try ;)

The canal of Lahore is in resemblance with the sea in Karachi. As at the beach of Karachi many birds migrate from the different parts of the world and stay for breeding. In Lahore too, different breeds of Lahor-ites migrate from their homes to canal and hibernate in it till the summers are over. You might have heard the phrase "Goat and lion drinking water from the same pond", but here Lahor-iets have set a brand new example. Just observe the brotherhood between the mankind and the animalkind in this canal. You will find both the species floating together. Sometimes it will be a man over a buffalo and the other times it will be a buffalo over a man, enjoying swimming in the cold icy water of canal. From looking at the distance it is difficult to recognize whether it's a "Sanda" (a big buffalo) or a "Banda" (a man)taking bath in the canal.

Seems that Lahore also respect miniature art. Especially in Lahore, miniature art has also made its way into buildings. In Karachi my eyes were habitual of seeing sky-rocketing buildings but here I realized the importance of miniature art. Who in khi is unfamiliar with the restaurant Salt n Pepper? It also has a "Bon-Si" branch in Lahore. I used to feel proud on the huge,amazing makro in Karachi. When I visited Lahore's tiny-mini-mani-o-Makro I had to accept that Lahori ites possess some taste for art. Yes, here you lose khi walo ;)

Honestly speaking Lahore is one of the big and famous cities of Pakistan. No city is less or more important. Fun and humor is a part of every Lahori-ite and they love to spread smiles on every face! Thanks for bearing this ;)
