Arfa Karim – Pride Of Pakistan

2012-01-15T07:51:00.000-08:00

One of the youngest IT professional Arfa Karim died on 14th January 2012 at 10:50 p.m. She was famous as the youngest Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) in the history (at the age of 9). As a Pakistani, she is the pride of nation who brightened the name of the country in all over the world. When she passed successfully the exam of MCP in 2004 then in her honor, the Chairman of Microsoft Bill Gates invited her to visit the Microsoft Headquarters USA. She remained the youngest MCP till 2008.

Arfa Karim was born on 2nd February 1995 at Faisalabad, Pakistan. Her father Amjad Karim Randhawa is a retired military colonel. At present, she was the student of second year of A levels in Lahore Grammar School. When Arfa returned to Pakistan after visiting the Microsoft Headquarters then she had become famous due to her historical achievement. She gave many interviews to the television and newspapers. Also, the journey of her success began. She was awarded by Fatima Jinnah Gold Medal as well as Salaam Pakistan Award in 2005 in the field of science and technology. Like youngest MCP of the world, she was also the youngest recipient of the President’s Award for Pride of Performance.

Arfa was also invited as a keynote speaker in the Tech-Ed Developers Conference organized by Microsoft in November 2006 in Barcelona. She was the only Pakistani among 5000 developers of the world in that conference. Arfa represented Pakistan in many international forums. She also earned her first flight certificate at a flying club in Dubai when she flew a plane at the age of 10.

Arfa was suffered from Heart Attack and just after that Brain Hemorrhage on 22nd December 2011. Due to these sudden attacks, she slipped into coma and admitted into Combined Military Hospital (CMH) Lahore where doctors were striving to save her life. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates took special interest in the treatment of Arfa. Gates made a contact to her father and told that he would bear all the expenses of Arfa’s treatment in the US but Pakistani doctors said that Arfa is on ventilator, therefore, it would be a risk to shift her to any other hospital in that condition. Gates also set up a team of international doctors who were in contact with the doctors of CMH about Arfa’s treatment through video conferences.

But as it is said that no one can change nature’s decisions, in spite of all these best treatments, Arfa lost the battle of life after 26 days on Saturday 14th January 2012 at the age of 16. Her funeral prayer was offered on Sunday 15th Januray 2012 at Shami Road in the Cantonment area of Lahore at 10 a.m. A large number of people attended her funeral including many politicians, armed forces officials and the Chief Minister of Punjab province Shahbaz Sharif. After that, she was buried in the graveyard of her native place Faisalabad.

After the news of her death, every eye was full of tears. Arfa Karim was a genius daughter of Pakistan who left an indelible mark on the hearts all Pakistanis. Her young death was a great national loss. The President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani expressed their sorrow over the death of Arfa Karim. No doubt she is the great example of every emerging IT professional of Pakistan. May Allah give her in Jannat-ul-Firdous and give courage to her family to bear such a great loss (Aameen). The whole Pakistani nation (including myself) condoles sincerely to the bereaved family. We will always miss you Arfa.

Will Imran Khan Really Bring A “Change”?

2011-12-25T11:13:00.000-08:00

“Change”, this is the major slogan of a growing political party of the country Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Under the leadership of former most popular captain of Pakistan cricket team Imran Khan, PTI is emerging in the whole country with all its power. The leader Imran Khan recently conducted some very successful public meetings in different cities of Pakistan due to which the power of PTI is increasing day by day. After the successful rally in Lahore, now PTI also conducted the public meeting near the tomb of Quaide-e-Azam on his 135th birthday. This rally was also one the memorable rallies in the history of Pakistan which were attended by thousands of people.

There is a big difference exists between PTI and other political parties of Pakistan. The difference is that the majority of PTI supporters consist of youngsters. Also, a huge quantity of children and women is also supporting Imran Khan and think that he is the true leader and our well-wisher. What’s the reason? Because Imran Khan talks about “change”. The “change” from which he can change the whole country. This sudden slogan of “change” supported him a lot and his party got popularity countrywide. This evocation of “change” also created a boom in Pakistani politics. Many great leaders of different political parties joined PTI like Shah Mehmood Qureshi (PP), Azam Sawati (JUI-F) including the biggest boom Makhdum Javaid Hashmi who had 24 years old strong loyalty with PML-N.

Huge crowd of PTI supporters in Karachi Public Meeting

Public meeting of PTI in Karachi (25-12-2011) contained a huge crowd of PTI supporters. Everywhere I saw the heads of people with PTI flags in the meeting place. Not only in the meeting place but also a huge quantity of supporters were also present outside where a big screen was arranged to see the address of Imran Khan and other PTI leaders. In the address, Imran Khan gave the hopes to the nation and his speech contained almost all such promises to the nation which is explained by every political leader. Media also gave full coverage to this public meeting. Representatives of different channels also talked to different supporters of Imran Khan including youngsters, children, women and infact, handicapped too. All these said that Imran Khan is their only hope and he will bring a “cange” in the country.

Well the moto is to write this blog is not that I am a supporter of Imran Khan or PTI. I personally do not support any political party because history tells us that no one is sincere to this country. When political parties are not in the power then say that we will change the country, we will remove the corruption, and a lot of hopes bla bla bla. When these parties come in the government then rob the country, fill their personal accounts with national wealth and make new new records of corruption. All political parties are selfish and always see their own beneficium over country. Anyone accept or not but it is true. I am also not saying that Imran Khan is wrong. I just want to say that Pakistani nation has reconnoitered many political parties and has seen the results too. So we should also give a chance to PTI like other parties and see that will Imran Khan really bring a “change” in Pakistan or prove himself as a selfish, greedy and corrupt leader like others.

A Memorable Trip

2011-12-04T09:51:00.001-08:00

Saturday 3rd December 2011 was one of my memorable days. On that day, I and one of my close and sincere friends Hussain planned to go to give the audition for a theater play in defence. Actually the moto is just to try that have we the abilities for acting or not ;-) :-P Well we just went for fun and enjoyment and then this journey became memorable of both’s life.

I and Hussain planned to meet at 4:30 p.m at Paradise bakery. My home is the most nearing to that place. Well I arrived at the bakery and then at exact time, Hussain came with a car and totally surprised me. Because we made a plan that we go by bus. Pillion riding was also banned by the government. So my friend came and we departed for the destination. First of all we went to Usmania Colony from where Hussain had to put the engine oil in his car. During that break, we stayed some minutes and took cold drinks for refreshment.


Main Road of Phase 8 (Khayaban-e-Shaheen) Defence

After filling car’s engine with oil, we departed for audition. The place was Le’cole for Advance Studies which is situated in Khayaban-e-Shaheen phase 8 (defence). Actually it is so far and inside the defence area. We had to arrive there at 6 p.m. Well at Khayaban-e-Ittehad, we stopped and asked the address from an estate agency. The address was not so difficult so we continued our journey. Actually phase 8 of Khayaban-e-Shaheen was not proper build. Majority of the area contains plots only. So after arriving there, we asked the floor from the guard on which the auditions are conducted. We arrived at the audition hall where other participants were also present. The theater drama was in English. So their representatives gave both of us a script in which dialogues are written.

Representatives gave everyone a chance to speak those dialogues with best of their efforts. We tried our best and analyzed that can we become actors or not? :-) Well the audition was so successful but the competition was also so tough. So administrators say that we will call you for the next round. After the audition, we departed from that place and arrived to the Shaheen Shinwari Restaurant (Gulshan-e-Jamal) where we ate the popular and delicious dish of that restaurant Chicken Boneless Handi. My friend Hussain ate first time that dish from the restaurant and he really liked it. I also took one parcel for my family and then we returned back. From a CNG station in Johar Mor, Hussain filled his car cylinder with CNG and then he dropped me at my home.

Beautiful view of Creek Vista Apartments at night

Well this was a wonderful trip with Hussain and we really enjoyed it. Specially the Chicken Handi of Shaheen Shinwari was so delicious. Hussain is a good person as well as a true friend who always help me whenever I need him. One more thing I forgot to tell you. He also stared at girls in the whole journey (as he is a little bit naughty). Also, he made me laugh with different jokes. I hope that we will remember this memorable trip as we both went outside for a long time because we don’t have enough time for enjoyment due to our family responsibilities. Well we will keep arranging such type of programs to make strong our friendship more Insha Allah.

Salam Ramadan 2011

2011-08-01T09:23:00.000-07:00

It is related to Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A.A) that the Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (S.A.W) said, “When the month of Ramadan comes, the Gates of Heaven are opened and Gates of Hell are shut down and the devils are tied with chains”. (Bukhari and Muslim).

Ramadan is the 9th month in Islamic calendar. The purpose of this Holy month is to avoid a Muslim from those habits which he has acquired throughout the year. It is a month in which Muslims beware of some acts like eating, drinking and fulfilling their desires. The moto is that if a Muslim can control these desires in this month which are normally permissible for him than he can definitely control himself from other desires which are strictly forbidden in Islam.

Ramadan gives a golden chance to every Muslim to connect and keep closer to Allah by reaping many rewards that lie in this Holy month. The main significance of this Holy month is Fasting. When a Muslim keeps him away from eating and drinking for a limited time just for Allah then he surely gains unlimited success of never-ending life in heaven. Remember that Fasting doesn’t only mean to beware of eating and drinking, but also refrain from many other bad things and habits such as fighting, backbiting, abusing, using slang language, etc. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said, “Whoever does not give up false statements (i.e. telling lies), and evil deeds, and speaking bad words to others, Allah is not in need of his (fasting) leaving his food and drink" (Bukhari). In another Hadith, He said, “If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual relation with his wife and quarreling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say, 'I am fasting'" (Bukhari).

The moto of Fasting is to attain righteousness (called “Taqwa” in urdu) in Muslims which means to fear from Allah and to obey His every command. So Fasting in 30 days of this Holy month mean that it is a command of Allah for Muslims that is followed. It is proved by this Hadith in which the Prophet (S.A.W) indicated, “Allah said, all the deeds of Adam's sons (people) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.” Fasting will also become our source of protection in the Day of Judgment. On the day when we will be collected in one place to give an account for our every good and bad deed that we are done in this world. On that time, Fasting will save us from hell. A Hadith confirms it more in which the Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) said, "Fasting is a shield or protection from the fire and from committing sins" (Bukhari).

In the importance of Fasting in Ramadan, The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) more said, "Paradise has eight gates, and one of them is called Ar-Raiyan through which none will enter but those who observe fasting." The Prophet also said, "If a person spends two different kinds of something (for Allah's cause), he will be called from the gates of Paradise" (Bukhari).

Another important factor that discriminate Ramadan from other months is the advent of the Night of Lailat-ul-Qadr. The Night is said to be the one in which Allah writes the decree of His creation. In Quran, Allah says, "The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees. (That night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn." (3 – 5, Surah Al-Qadr).

So, the Holy month of Ramadan 2011 has been started with its shower of blessings. Ramadan Mubarak to all of you from me. May Allah make our every Fast of this Ramadan a shield of protection from hell and its fire. May Allah make this month as an intercessor for us in the grave. May Allah not make us like those people who do not get any blessing and virtue from their fasts except for hunger and thirst and may Allah guide us towards making this Ramadan as a source for gathering numerous and unlimited blessings and getting our all major and minor sins forgiven. Aameen.

Cheating In Exams – An Art

2011-04-24T02:06:00.000-07:00

Every student definitely knows about the concept of cheating in exams. This trend is popular in almost all over the world. In fact, in the most progressive countries like UK, USA, too. Basically to cheat in exams means to give exams with illegal ways. Like if a student doesn’t prepare for his exams properly then it carries some material in which different solutions of their courses are written which he didn’t learn. He thinks that he will give paper by using them. Some students successfully give their exams by cheating and some are caught red handed. Because cheating in exams is an illegal way and a proper law as well as strict actions exist against this activity in the world.

Students are very genius. Their minds are very sharp. Some are very intelligent in studies and some use their sharp and active mind in illegal activities. Let’s take the example of cheating. A lot of students use a variety of techniques to cheat in the exams. Sometimes the techniques are very creative on which human’s wisdom is really astonished and people think that if a student uses this sharpness in his studies then he will be on top. So, due to such amazing creativity, the method of cheating in exams has become an art. A creative art which any student can use while giving his paper. Come I tell you that how much and which type of creative cheating techniques are famous in the world.

Well first of all we talk about carrying small papers in exams in which materials related to the subject is written. This method is the most easy and popular cheating method. These small papers are commonly called “pharrey” in Urdu. Some students carry these papers in exams by keeping them in their sleeves of shirts, in the socks, in the belts and I saw some cases to hide these papers in the undergarments of students. But mostly students are caught by using this method. Not only this but also students performed research on making this paper small and small to hide easily. The result of this research is shown in the form of “micro”. Photostat machine operators use micro technique to make the written material on the paper small and small which becomes the cause of reducing the size of the paper more and more. This becomes very easy to take these papers in the exams and hide them easily.

Now I tell you what happened when I was giving my exam of second year. On that time, the trend of mobile phones was boosting. In the paper of Physics, A student in my row was sitting and giving the paper. Two headphones were put in his both ears. First time external came and checked him. Asked about the reason of these headphone then he said that I am deaf and this is the ear instrument due to which I can listen. On that time, mobile phones are not so much popular that’s why the external believed him and leave him. So he did paper normally. Suddenly another external of higher level came to that student and stand him up, opened the button of his shirt and pick out a small walk-man. All the people in the examination hall were shocked including me. Then everyone knew that student recorded his material’s conversation in the walk-man and was using it as cheating. So this was the very creative technique of cheating I have ever seen.

But now, with the development of technology, many creative techniques of cheating have been introduced. Students use their hand, legs and other body parts to write their course material to take in the examination hall. In Pakistan, trend of cheating can also be seen during exams. Either the exams of Matric or Intermediate, students cheat in their paper with the help of different methods. I saw many times such cases that the administration of many schools is involved to help the students for cheating. Paper out is the other popular method. Although, it doesn’t come in the category of proper cheating but is an illegal activity. Just before atleast one day or some hour of starting the exams, the paper of that subject got out. Means some resources got the paper and sell them to the students on a costly price. That’s why Pakistani boards of secondary and intermediate education always prepare 3 papers of every subject which are called A, B and C papers. If the one is get out then others are used in exams.

As I am a professional SEO and internet search expert, one day while searching, I found a website which is specially made of different techniques of cheating to be used in the exams. I was really astonished :-) The site is "cheatinexams.com" which contains many tricks and tips of cheating. So what shall I do? Internet has become so advance. Everything is available on it. So whatever we say about cheating but as a fact, it is illegal. Students who pass their exams through cheating have no future because the ability of students doesn’t grow. And one time a student is successful in cheating to pass his exams then he becomes confident to cheat more in the future exams. So by cheating and help to expand it, a nation wastes its talent and can never grow in the field of education, science and technology.

1. The nicest place to be is in the THOUGHTS of someone. And, the safest place to be is in the PRAYERS of someone.

2. It is not what you do for your juniors/subordinates/children that are important. It is what you teach them to do for them selves.

3. Luck is not in your hands. But work is in your hands. Your works can make your luck but luck can not make your works. So always trust yourself.

4. Birds that live in a lake will fly away when the lake dries. But the lotus that grows in the same lake will die with the lake. So recognize the birds in your life.

5. Do not only be close with someone who makes you happy. Be close with someone who can not be happy without you. It may make a lot difference to him at least.

6. No one will manufacture a lock without a key. Similarly the God does not give problems without solutions. Only we should have patience and courage to find them.

7. Coincidence decides to whom you meet in life. Your heart and your mind decide with whom you want to stay in life. But only destiny decides who gets to stay in your life.

8. Leave something for someone…never leave someone for something because in life something may leave you but someone will always live with you.

9. Those people whom you miss in your happiness are the ones whom you love. But those people whom you miss in your sadness are the ones who love you. Do not forget them.

10. A successful man is he who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him! Learn to accept criticism proactively and with grace.

India Defeated Pakistan - Qualified For World Cup Final

2011-03-30T11:33:00.000-07:00

In the Cricket World Cup 2011 semi-final, India defeated Pakistan by 29 runs and qualified for the final. As India and Pakistan are the two major and big opponents of each other, so this match was very important for both teams. When Pakistan qualified for semi-final after defeating West Indies, from that time people wanted that we would fight with India in the semi-final and this happened true. India defeated Australia in the second quarter final and then got ready to fight with Pakistan at Mohali on 30th March 2011.

So when India removed world champion Australia then from that time the passion and mania of the people of both countries increased day by day. Media played a great role to make passionate this fight. Specially people of Pakistan made special arrangements to watch this historical match live. Big screens were arranged in the crowded place of the country. In fact, my apartment’s union also arranged a big screen and refreshments to watch this match. Many youngsters including my brother painted their face with Pakistani flag and wear the national shirts. People were very excited.

So when the match start then as usual due to the strong batting line of India, its start was great. Specially those moments when Sehwag hit 5 fours on an over of Umar Gul. But when Wahab Riaz out Sehwag through LBW then the pressure on Pakistani team decreased a bit. So Indian batsmen kept fighting and got out. Specially the bold of Yuvraj was very outstanding by Wahab Riaz when Yuvraj just missed the line. The bowl was not yorker. It was full toss. But sudden the bullet speedy ball of Wahab Riaz collided into the wickets and Yuvraj astonished. So it was the great wicket I liked the most. India scored 260 for 9 and played full 50 overs. The good thing is the hilarious bowling of Wahab Riaz who took 5 important wickets. The unbelievable thing was the 4 catches of Tendulkar dropped by Pakistani fielders that’s why he scored the highest individual score, 85 runs and out by Saeed Ajmal.

When Pakistan came for bat then Kamran Akmal and Mohammad Hafeez gave a good and confident start. But just before the team’s half century, Zaheer Khan out Kamran Akmal. He scored 19. Then wickets of Pakistani team was fallen step by step. Hafeez scored 44, Asad Shafiq scored 30 and so on. The main fault which is very common in Pakistani team could easily be seen in this match too. The weak batting line. Top class batsman scored very low. Younis out on 13, Razzak on 3 and Afridi on 17 which was very shameful for the team. Misbah fought good but as a test playing nature, he was sleeping when Pakistani team had wickets and started hitting aggressively when no hope was left. So all Pakistani team out on 231 runs. India won by 29 runs as well as qualified for the final against Sri Lanka which will be played on Saturday 2nd April 2011. Good efforts and game played by the Indian team.

Girls vs Boys – Who Is Better?

2011-02-20T05:14:00.000-08:00

Whenever you asked this question from people then everyone has its own answer. Boys always show themselves good and girls always show themselves better than boys. So it is not only an interesting question but also a great topic of debate. Well I asked this question from many talented students as well professionals. All told their own opinions. Come I will discuss this matter with you.

The attitude of human varies according to the spending time and trends. Competition between girls and boys always is a red hot topic. In the older times, both were innocent and decent. But with the modernization of world, both are changed according to the trends. First of all, let me tell you about what are the opinions of girls for boys.

Girls say, “Boys always flirt. They are always ready to waste their money on girls. This wastage is in many forms. Talking with girls on mobile at whole night, sending them credit too. Also, insist them to meet, going on dating with them where pay all the bill of the restaurant. In student life, giving them notes and handouts without any payment. Teach them by leaving their all responsibilities and necessary works. Means they are crazy for girls. Also, chase and disturb them from their attitude. Like whistling and many other different rogue methods.” Not only these but also many other methods for dieing on girls.

Come let’s see what boys say about girls. According to them, “Girls of today want only one thing. And that is money. They always try to attract that guy who is wealthy and rich. Because they know very well that boys can lay down not only their all wealth but also their lives too. So whenever they go outside then try to hide their cleverness with the help of full make up. Wear tight, fitted and sometimes short dresses to attract more and more boys. Always smiling in front of boys due to which boys give them their heart. Also, girls are love-monger. They don’t love with boys. They only love with the boy’s wealth.” My one friend provided me a very special and interesting picture of a girl’s and a boy’s heart which according to him, clearly defines that what is in the heart of boys and girls. I share this picture to you :-)

So how can we decide that which one is better from the other? You read the basic views about boys and girls which are very common nowadays. So it is difficult to decide. Because girls always support themselves and boys too. So it can be a great debate and argue. So you guys can share your views about that. Any positive and strong evidence will be highly appreciated. So let’s see who will win. As in my followers, boys are less than girls so I will take part in the debate from boys. Girls don’t mind please. But whoever wins, I will accept the result.

Happy New Year 2011

2011-01-02T08:27:00.000-08:00

I wish Happy New Year 2011 to my all sincere friends, followers and fans who supported me a lot so far and always helped me when I need them or whenever I feel alone. I love you all and I respect you all. Allah become this year the year of happiness and prosperity to all of you (Aameen). Remember me in your prayers.

Bus Journey Of Karachi – Every Travel Becomes Memorable

2010-12-12T10:19:00.000-08:00

Whenever you ask from the residence of the biggest city of Pakistan that how is the journey by bus in Karachi then people have different opinions. Someone say so difficult and tough, someone say that they enjoy this journey [I am also one of them ;-)]. Because you know people who are traveling in the buses of Karachi from a long time, now have accustomed and been very familiar with it. Because due to the condition of transport in Karachi, your every travel always becomes memorable :-). I tell you some conditions which make bus travel of Karachi exceptional from others.

First of all majority knows that the government has not set up a proper transport system in Karachi so far. The buses plying on the roads which you see are all private transport and the whole system is totally under custody of private transport union. Almost all the buses are in the model of 1970 (especially big buses that are called “Bed Ford”). They are still plying now which have completed their lives. Also, the condition of wagons and coaches are not so much different from big buses. Someone have teared silencer that becomes cause of air as well as noise pollution. The physical condition is also not so good. You know some buses have broken seats that affect the travel, leaking roofs that are big distress in rain, some windows without glass that increase that pain of public in winter season, etc.

After the condition, now I tell you some other different problems. Quantity of the buses is very less as compared to the public. That’s why you will find a huge crowd in the buses. Especially in the morning when people go and evening when they come back. Some people can’t get the bus just due to heavy load and crushing out. The people inside the bus are almost tied with each other. Whenever someone arrives to his destination then he quickly goes to the gate of the bus after crushing the huddled crowd that increases the suffering of others. Some bow up on the other’s foot then their argue starts which changes into fight sometimes. Traffic jam also plays a great role in the suffering of travelers. People tie in the bus many minutes (sometimes hours) and think that it will be a miracle if we arrive at home.

Star Line - one of the most crowded bus of Karachi

Private bus owners also have a rule that affects the poor public. They have token system and at some bus stop in their routes where one or two men related to this bus route sit. When the bus arrives there then drivers stop the bus, take the token from those men and talk to them. Bus stands till 5 to 15 minutes [I have experienced 20 minutes too :-)]. Public who want to arrive as soon as possible shout on the drivers that why are you standing we have to arrive early on duty or home. Then drivers start argues with them that we have a set time, before or after it, we can’t go. This argue also changes into fight sometimes. Also, one more problem is the increasing prices of petrol and diesel due to which transporters increase charges. This problem is also directly affecting the public. They argue with the conductor that sometimes changes into fight :-) So whenever you visit in the buses of Karachi then this visit will definitely be memorable for you :-)

So whatever the problem(s) with the Karachi transport, the one and only which suffered and affected from these is the poor public of Karachi. I have also faced these situations and still facing. I travel in the bus with huge mob, sometimes climbs on the fence put back of the bus as well as on a roof. I am also a common citizen of this city. Now I have familiar with these travels. We just need to change the whole system of transport. City District Government Karachi (CDGK) should take the system of transport in its hand. But probably it can’t be possible because private transport union has become very powerful in the city. So if CDGK can’t hand over the system then atleast can try to make it better for the facility of citizens after joining hands with private transport union. What do you say readers?

Simplicity – A Great Lesson Learned By Islam

2010-11-25T08:18:00.000-08:00

Either it is 21st century or any other century, the world is always contained every type of people like super-rich, middle-class and the poverty-stricken. The great Allah has distributed aliment to the people according to His infinite erudition by giving some more than others. According to Him, this distribution is a test for every individual. Those people who have less luxuries have an indication that they turn to Allah and beg from Him to fulfill their needs. The rich and wealthy people have an indication that they thank to Allah for this wealth which is totally because of Him.

Our great religion Islam doesn’t deny a person to spend his life with all those luxuries which he can afford. But the matter is fact that our Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) always taught to Sahaaba-e-Karaam (R.A.) to avoid too many luxuries. Not only He taught this simplicity lesson to Muslim Ummah but also He was himself a lifelike example of it. Allah offered to turn the mountains into gold for Hazrat Mohammad (S.A.W) but the life style which He selected for spending is that on many occasion, there was nothing available on His home to eat.

While adopting this simplicity himself, Hazrat Mohammad (S.A.W) also advised of simplicity to Sahaaba (R.A) as well. When he was dispatching Maaz Bin Jabal (R.A.A) as a Governor of Yemen then He give him several advices in which one was that: “Beware of hankering after comforts and luxuries for verily the true servants of Allah are not self-indulgent.” Also, at one time, Sahaaba (R.A) was talking about some worldly matters then Mohammad (S.A.W) addressed them, “Will you not listen? Will you not listen? Will you not listen? Verily simplicity is a part of Imaan. Verily simplicity is a part of Imaan. Verily simplicity is a part of Imaan”. (Abu Dawood).

So, in today’s world, where everything has been too much expensive and people always see the dreams that how can they become rich. In that situation, we should never leave the simplicity which is taught by our Holy Prophet Hazrat Mohammad (S.A.W). Always use that quantity of wealth due to which we can fulfill our basic living needs. Whenever this wealth is started to be over-flow, then it can make you arrogant. This is the reason where a human becomes greedy and leaves to Thank to Allah. Because his moto becomes only to earn more and more wealth. His desire is to become richer. So avoid too much wealth. Also, make your habit to give voluntary charity (Sadaqah) on the name of Allah. It is my personal experience that this Sadaqah will keep you save from too much love to your wealth, greediness and arrogancy.

My Experience To See Dabang-1 and 2 Of Eid-ul-Adha

2010-11-18T00:17:00.000-08:00

Eid-Ul-Adha is one of the most important as well as special religious festivals of Muslim which is also called Bakra-Eid. On this great occasion, Muslims slaughter their domestic animals such as goat, sheep, cow, bulls, camel etc. This sacrifice of animals is a symbol of sacrifice made by Hazrat Ibraham (A.S) which is His Sunnah. This festival starts after the fifth pillar of Islam known as Hajj. The first day of Eid-Ul-Adha is celebrated on the tenth day of Duhl-Hijja, which is the last month of the Islamic year.

This year, Eid-Ul-Adha was on 16th November. On the night before (Chaand Raat), I went to shopping and some outing with my friends. Specially I went to see the most famous pair of bulls this year named Dabang-1 and Dabang-2 which were bought in Abid Town (Gulshan-e-Iqbal). They were really huge, wealthy and like a small mountain. I captured their some pictures from my cell. Take a look:

Due to the popularity of these two heavy weight Dabangs, people were coming in a huge quantity to see them. When I arrived there then on that time also a huge crowd was present. So I felt very uncomfortable while taking snaps. You can see that how much huge they are. When you saw live them then you can asses it. When I arrived there then on that time Dabang-1 was standing but Dabang-2 was sit. I said to the bull handler that stand out Dabang-2. He tried but Dabang-2 wasn’t stand. Probably he had tired.

So it was really a good experience to see the great pair of Dabang-1 and 2. I talked to the owner of these bulls and he told me that both cost 16 lac. These bulls were calm and quit. Never looked angry. Bull handler was present there to handle both. Around the tent, a boundary rope was put for the people who were coming to see them. So I can say that they were the biggest bulls which I ever saw live on this Eid-ul-Adha. According to people, the biggest bull of this year was “Red Bull” which was bought in Defense area. I saw his videos but didn’t see live. He was also great. Take a look:

Load Shading – Attached With Our Lives

2010-10-23T23:23:00.000-07:00

Karachi, biggest city of Pakistan. Once upon a time, it was famous as city of lights. But now :-D what shall I say about that city of light??? And how can any person say that this is a city of light??? Where load shading is everywhere. At start, load shading hit the city only in summer. In winter, there was no load shading. After that, due to short-fall, old rot system of KESC, saving money due to not to buy furnace oil, the condition was keep destructing. Then load shading also started in winter in spite of the very small amount of load. Also, load shading didn’t hit the city on Sundays because of holiday but now, it has become an immortal part of every citizen’s life. The duration was 1 hour before, now increased to 1.5 hours. 7 days a week, 365 days a year load shading is brightening at every home. A person can forget to eat food but can’t forget load shading :-D People try to wind up their work and said, “oh come on, I have to finish the work because light will go out at 6 :-D.

When I collected information about it then I interviewed many people of the city and tried to know their opinion about load shading and KESC then almost all the people said that words about KESC and light system which is not able to write here :-). Well that was people’s angriness. A professional banker Mr. Saleh said to me, “KESC administration is illiterate. Our country is full of natural resources. We have precious resource water which is present in a huge quantity in our country. We can make electricity from it but we don’t. Because to make electricity, we must have to set up plants then who set up the plants? Government doesn’t take interest. If it gives funds then KESC eats it.”

A 2nd year student Adeel said, “I pray for KESC that it must be destroyed forever and all the employees die like a dog. They don’t feel the people’s pain. They are not performing their duty. They are just taking free salaries and doing nothing. In exams, study in load shading is just like to give your hand in the lion’s mouth. It is too difficult and painful to study in load shading and effected our preparation.” Many people protest against this load shading. Every year you definitely hear news that mob burn the KESC’s vehicle, tires on the road and blocked it, attacked on the KESC’s offices. KECS admin always says that we are renewing the system, we have short-fall problem, old wires, can’t buy furnace oil to save money, bla bla bla bla.

So, what do you say guys? What are your opinions about our lovely load shading and KESC? I know that load shading is not only the problem of Karachi, now it has become a major problem in the whole country. I know you all have angriness as well as some has helpful suggestions that from which methods we can make our electricity system better and better. So, whatever in your mind, say it. After all, you will feel so light to say all the blabber which is in your heart. I will respect all your abuses, opinions as well as suggestions :-).

Another Blasphemous Campaign Of Facebook - Everybody burn Quran day (Nauzobillah)

2010-08-16T22:12:00.000-07:00

Facebook is supporting another new campaign and developed another blasphemous page called “Everybody burn Quran day” (Nauzobillah). This page has been developed by Rahul Malhotra (I don’t know more about him and from which country does he belong) and according to the last information I got, 2,430 people around the world liked this page so far. This page contains hundreds of insulting photos on Quran, Muslims and Islam.

The page contains a display of a girl who holds the Holy Book Quran in her right hand and a burning candle in her left hand just shows that now she is going to burn the Holy Book. The message under this display which is mentioned is “They preach that Islam is religion of peace and freedom which is a hypocrisy in reality. So as long as this hypocrisy goes, this fire is on Quran and I will continue to do so for unlimited time. Made by Rahul Malhotra”

At this page, a battle of discussion is also continue between Muslims and blasphemous non-Muslims. Islam haters are abusing the religion and Muslims are trying to support and also abusing these blasphemous people. Also, the blasphemous fans of this page keep continuing the postings of insulting pics on Islam and Quran.

Government of Pakistan blocked facebook before earlier from 9th May to 30th May 2010 as a result of a blasphemous page “everybody draw Mohammad day” which was created on facebook. Now, facebook did it again. It supported such type of blasphemy. The courage of these rascals increases just because they know that Muslims can not take it seriously.

So what are the Muslims waiting for? Leave facebook as soon as possible and protest against this blasphemy throughout the world. Also, the government of Pakistan should block facebook forever in Pakistan. Pakistani Government should think that if it blocks all the sms and emails in which people make fun of the president Zardari then why can it not block forever facebook in which these satanic and mindly sick people make fun of our religion, Quran and Allah?

I try to open and view this page but I think it is not opening in Pakistan because this page has restrictions. If Pakistani internet users want to view that page then open Google in your browser, type “everybody burn Quran day” and search. The very first result in the SERPs is of that blasphemous page. On the right side of it, click on “cached” link then you can view this page. So view it and get angry. Delete your facebook accounts as I have deleted my account too. Protest against this and create a sparked violence in your heart. Enemies of Islam only fear from one thing and that is the Muslim’s unity. So join hands, get united and defeat them. In front of Muslim’s power, they are nothing.

Salam Ramadan 2010

2010-08-11T09:21:00.000-07:00

Another important factor that discriminate Ramadan from other months is the advent of the Night of Lailat-ul-Qadr. The Night is said to be the one in which Allah writes the decree of His creation. In Quran, Allah says, "The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. The angels and the Spirit descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all decrees. (That night is) Peace until the rising of the dawn." (3 – 5, Surah Al-Qadr).

So, the Holy month of Ramadan 2010 has been started with its shower of blessings. Ramadan Mubarak to all of you from me. May Allah make our every Fast of this Ramadan a shield of protection from hell and its fire. May Allah make this month as an intercessor for us in the grave. May Allah not make us like those people who do not get any blessing and virtue from their fasts except for hunger and thirst and may Allah guide us towards making this Ramadan as a source for gathering numerous and unlimited blessings and getting our all major and minor sins forgiven. Aameen.

Spain - The FIFA World Champion 2010

2010-07-12T00:53:00.000-07:00

Spain became the FIFA World Cup Football Champion 2010 first time in the history after defeating Netherland by 1 – 0 in the final. The match was played in the Soccer City Stadium of Johannesburg on 12th July 2010. Before this, these two teams never won any world cup. Netherland had played the finals of 1974 and 1978 world cups before but couldn’t win and remained unlucky this time too. But Spain got the place in final and also became champion first time.

When the match started then the players of both teams attacked many times on the goal sides of each other and wasted several confirmed goal chances. Also, the players were looking so ruthless and angry and it was feeling that now players would start to fight with each other. Sometimes any Dutch player pulled down the Spanish and sometimes Spanish did the same. That’s why yellow card was shown 8 times to the Dutch team and 5 times to the Spanish which is a record. Also, the match referee Howard Webb showed red card to the Dutch defender John Heitinga with a second caution in the 109th minute of the match.

Both teams strived hardly to score the goal but remained unsuccessful. At last, the time was up and extra 30 minutes were given to the match. The match was becoming so exciting after spending every moment. At the 116th minute of the match, Spanish midfielder Andres Iniesta scored the maiden and winning goal of the match after beautiful pass of Fabregas. That was the outside hit but referee didn’t see it. Dutch players protested on this situation to the referee but he had confirmed the goal. This triumph of Spain remained till the end of the match.

Before this match, the famous octopus of Paul Allen had also predicted the victory of Spain. So one more prediction became true. With this historical victory, Spain became the World Cup Football Champion for the next 4 years. This victory was celebrated with sensational fireworks in front of 84,000 audience. The coach of Spanish team Vicente del Bosco told media that “the match was very difficult. We deserved the victory and we know that people in all region of Spain supported us. Dutch team fought marvelously and in some sense, they tied our hands. We played a very tense game and won.”

Paul's Octopus – The Football Predictor

2010-07-08T00:41:00.000-07:00

The mega event of World Cup Football 2010 will always be remembered in the history for an amazing reason. And that reason is the prediction of an octopus. This octopus predicts about the winning team before the match. It correctly and consecutively predicted the result of semi final between Germany and Spain. Before this match, its prediction about the quarter final between Germany and Argentina has also been correct.

Due to accurate and true predictions about world cup football matches, the octopus is become the spotlight in the world and has been generated worldwide attention. This octopus belongs to an astrologer of Germany named Paul Allen. It has been accurately predicted all six matches of Germany in the football world cup so far.

The test of prediction which is performed in the Sea Life Aquarium of Oberhauser (Germany) contains two acrylic boxes with the national flags of each team and some mussels which is the food of octopus. The hungry octopus picks its food from one of both boxes then it is considered that this selected team will win the match.

Holland Eliminated Brazil - A Historical Upset

2010-07-03T01:41:00.000-07:00

On July 2nd, 2010, in the first quarter final of world cup football match, Holland defeated the most hard, feared and the five times world champion Brazil by 2 – 1 and eliminated it from the world cup football event. This was not only a very big disappointing but also a great upset in the world cup football history. The dream of Brazil to take the world cup sixth time has been shattered. All the Brazilian fans hurt including me because Brazil is always my full time favorite team too.

In this quarter final, all the expectations were with Brazil that it would defeat Netherland. When the match started then both teams played well. They attacked on the goals side of each other many times. In the 10th minute of the match, Brazil got the success when its dangerous striker Robinho scored a fantastic goal on the beautiful pass of Felipe Melo. This vantage of Brazil took over Netherland till the end of first half.

In the second half, the Dutch team came back into the match dramatically. This fast come back became successful for the Dutch team when in the 53rd minute, its player Sneijder scored the goal by kicking the ball which fell into the net after skidding off the head of Felipe Melo and leveled the score 1 – 1. The amazing thing happened in the 68th minute when the Dutch team took over the game. The same player Sneijder scored the second goal on a header from a free kick and then finally the Dutch team became successful to make impossible to possible.

In the last moments of the match, the Brazilian players became so emotional and tried to level the score as much as possible but remained unsuccessful. And then match winded up with the historical victory of Holland which was the amazing upset. The coach of Brazilian team Dunga resigned from their post after this breakdown. The hilarious fight back of the Dutch team in the second half is definitely able to appreciate. Now Holland will face Uruguay in the first semi final which will be played on 6th July 2010. It is true that Brazil is a tough team but in Football, everything can happen. This is an amazing game.

Cyclone "Phet" in Karachi

2010-06-06T10:31:00.000-07:00

After creating huge, unclear and unlimited damages and disruption in the province of Balochistan, the direction of cyclone “Phet” was moved to Karachi (biggest city of Pakistan and also where I live) at Sunday evening (6th June 2010).

Before arriving in Karachi, the Phet badly hit Balochistan on Saturday. Pakistan Meteorological Department said that due to its influence, it rained heavily in all the coastal areas of Balochistan including Gawadar (70 mm), Jiwani (208 mm), Pasni (127 mm), Turbat (63 mm), etc. According to facts and figure, over 500,000 people affected from this cyclone.

Heavy rain had also begun in Karachi at Saturday late night (from almost 2 to 4 a.m) due to influence of cyclone when it was 200 km away from beach of Karachi. I was in my apartment’s balcony and viewing the sight of rain. There were nor electricity except light of clouds. No sound except sound of heavy rain and thunder of clouds. Also, Rain was continuing from time to time till the next day (Sunday) just before entering cyclone to Karachi.

It was expecting that Phet would hit Karachi between 7 to 8 p.m. including gusts of wind with maximum 60 miles per hour. But with a kind of Allah, the cyclone passed without hitting Karachi and moved to interior areas of Sindh including Thatta, Bhanbhor and Ghaaro. There, heavy rain with strong gusts of wind and gale started and till the last news I got, the disruption is still continue.

Like past, also this time, Allah protected the city Karachi from the cyclone, but due to the heavy rain from last night, atleast 10 people died in different incidents from rainfall in which mostly due to electrocution. 2 to 3 foot rainwater is present not only at the roads but also at the roundabouts, beneath underpasses and overhead bridges. City District Government of Karachi has started to flush out the water.

History told us that whenever such type of cyclones are created, Allah always keeps the city Karachi safe from them. Although the city is almost in the route of those cyclones but just before arriving them, their direction is changed naturally. People said and believe that it happens due to the miracles and tombs of different Sufi Saints which are situated in different areas of the city.

60% Facebook Users Are Thinking To Leave

2010-05-22T01:25:00.001-07:00

According to a latest survey conducted by an IT security firm called Sophos, 60% Facebook members are thinking to quit the popular social networking site due to privacy concerns. After taking the opinions of 1,588 Facebook users in a poll, it is revealed that the majority of members have serious issues on its privacy settings. In this online survey, almost two thirds of Facebook users showed that they are thinking to leave in which 16% claimed that they have already stopped using Facebook due to a result of inadequate control over their data.Only recently, Facebook has been criticized over changes on how it can share user data across its site and with other websites.

Sophos said concerns have centered on the complexity and the "opt-out" approach to sharing member information with wider networks. Media reports suggest that Facebook is planning to announce changes to its privacy settings within the next few days, but it is unclear as to whether any changes will be substantial enough to address user concerns.

Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, commented that the poll only shows that majority of users are "fed up" with the lack of control that Facebook gives users over their data. "Most still don't know how to set their Facebook privacy options safely, finding the whole system confusing," Cluley said, adding what is needed is a fundamental shift towards asking users to "opt-in" to sharing information, rather than to "opt-out."

In response to the criticisms of Facebook's privacy policy, a number of campaigns, including a "Quit Facebook Day" have been launched to increase public awareness of the issues. "A mass exodus from Facebook seems unlikely, but Facebook members are clearly getting more interested in knowing precisely who can view their data," Cluley said.

He continued that "people use Facebook to share private information and are unlikely to want their holiday snaps or new mobile number accidentally popping up all over the internet. With this survey showing that only 24% of users aren't thinking about quitting, Facebook will need to make sure further changes to the privacy policy are clear, concise and in the interest of making it easier for members to know exactly who has access to whatever they chose to upload."

During the online survey, Sophos asked Facebook users the question "Do you think you will quit Facebook over privacy concerns?" And the results varied from: Possibly, 30%; highly likely, 30%; already have, 16%; no, 12%; and don't think likely at 12%.

Facebook - An Offensive Act

2010-05-21T01:32:00.000-07:00

On 20th May 2010, a page with name “Everybody draw Mohammad day” on well-known social media site facebook promoted a competition which encourages the users to draw and post the images of the Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W). This game of playing with Muslim’s sentiments and emotions is completely supported by facebook’s administration.

This action has sparked violent protests in the Muslims globally. In Pakistan, on May 19, 2010, government ordered all the internet service provider of the country to block facebook as an angry reaction to hit Muslim’s emotions. The page on the social networking site has generated criticism in Pakistan and elsewhere because Islam prohibits any images of the prophet. The government took action after a group of Islamic lawyers won a court order Wednesday requiring officials to block Facebook until 31st May.

Protest against the courage of this satanic group is not limited till Pakistan. The other Muslim countries around the globe including Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, U.A.E., Saudi Arabia are also promoted to be the next in the group of blocking nations. A spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations said the idea behind the group was offensive.

According to BBC, facebook has faced big loss of 2 billion euros so far in last two days. And Mark Zuckerberg (CEO of facebook) will bear much more loss in future due to less traffic and user activities that will hardly affect his business.

Mimi Sulpovar, who is an American and started this satanic group at Facebook, said that she read about the idea on a blog after Comedy Central bleeped out part of an episode of “South Park” that mentioned the prophet. The whole campaign has been taken up by Muslim-bashers and Islamophobes.

Sulpovar denied being anti-Muslim and said: “If it’s offensive to you, that’s fine, but I don’t feel it’s right to impose your belief on others through intimidation. This is nothing to do with hate or bigotry. Nobody is creating violence or preaching open hatred towards individuals.” She also said: “I received hundreds of e-mails from people trying to explain this to me.” Finally while being confident on her rude act, she said: “Islam is not above criticism or cartoons. I believe in equality, and censoring Mohammed while we can draw every other figure in the world does not equal equality.”

Later that after some hours, a Seattle based cartoonist Molly Norris who drew cartoons of Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W) and is also the part of this group apologized from Muslims on her drawing. On her website http://www.mollynorris.com (currently banned in Pakistan), she said that “I did not declare 20th May as “Everybody Draw Mohammad Day”. I neither started this group of facebook nor set up any place for people to send drawings and I never received any drawings. I extremely apologize to the Muslims of the world to hurt their faith and belief.”

Tradekey - A Remarkable Achievement

2010-01-18T05:31:00.000-08:00

Tradekey and Alibaba are the two very well established and top most B2B portals in the world which are accepted world wide on international level. These two portals are working hard to provide better and better services to their customers. Either it is sales or marketing, customer support strategies or search engine optimization, in every field, both portals are trying as their best to satisfy their respective customers. In spite of this, the worth of Alibaba is higher than Tradekey.

As everyone knows that Search Engine Optimization is one of the most important part of B2B online business. Without getting traffic on your site, you can’t run a successful online business. The SEO department of both portals understands this important responsibility and working hard with their best possible efforts to increase the traffic on their sites by back links, SEO friendly contents, online marketing, etc.

When we talk about B2B portals and SEO, the name of PageRank appears in our minds. PageRank shows that how much the web site or web page is relatively important. In simple you can say that it measures the importance of a web page. This importance is based on not only your trade relevant back links but also the quality of your web page’s content that other people want to link. Google assigns this method of ranking to all the web pages it crawls. Its value is from 0 to 10 and this value increases with the increase of your web page’s quality. Alibaba and Tradekey, the PageRank of both portals was 7/10. But at the starting of the year 2010, The PageRank of Tradekey increased one more digit and became 8/10. It just became possible due to the hardworking of the SEO department of Tradekey. Although, the worth and investment of Alibaba is relatively higher than Tradekey and it has 20,000 plus employees in all over the world but Tradekey has extremely better talent than Alibaba and just because of their talented people, Tradekey defeated Alibaba in the Google’s most important method of measuring importance of a web site which shows that the quality of Tradekey is better than Alibaba and today, Alhamdolillah Tradekey is standing with the world’s most popular websites like Orkut, Paypal, Adidas, Amazon, Hotmail, etc. which have the PageRank 8.

Tradekey made it possible. There is no doubt that this portal is full of talent and Tradekey always relies on its talented people instead of depending on its worth or investment. Insha Allah this talent keeps working with its efforts and mind and the quality of the portal keeps increasing day by day because Tradekey believes on a sentence of Henry Ford in which he said, “The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability”.

My 1st successful SEO Project

2009-12-28T06:33:00.000-08:00

Alhamdolillah, my first project of SEO has become successful. It took time of less than a month to get second page at Google.

When I started to study SEO myself then after understanding its basic concepts, now its practical performance was a difficult challenge for me. Because definitely SEO is an interesting field and people as well as I enjoy it. But it has a lot of working in the form of different ways. So I did not understand that from where shall I take my start and then which works shall I perform step by step. Although it was my first professional struggle to achieve my experience as well as strong evidence of SEO knowledge.

So in the name of Allah first, I selected a product (mobile phone). And then I choose my targeted keyword on which I have to optimize the site. After it, I made a site on a free domain (blogspot), put its domain name and title name on that targeted keyword and then started to put the information of this product on it. I took atleast 10 models of mobile phones, collected information of every model, wrote its content, selected accurate keywords and then publish it on this site with picture of every model. This was on-page optimization.

Now I had to start off-page optimization. First I performed directory submission. I submitted my site in almost a lot of directory submission websites. Then while continuing directory submission, I also wrote an article and a press release and then also started article and press release submissions. I also performed social bookmarking. All this working of off-page optimization I performed step by step. Submission my site in search engines (including Google) was also a part of my SEO working.

After spending some days. The results of my hard working started to appear at Google. First, my site appeared on 8th page and 2 press releases on 2nd page. After some days, my site got 5th page and after some more time, it got 2nd page (Alhamdolillah). I am very thankful to almighty Allah who made me successful in my this very first small SEO project and also I want to thank to my SEO guider Sir Atif Zain who provided me SEO basics and told me helpful techniques.

So this was my very first experience in SEO field. Now I clearly understand on which strategies I can work on an SEO project. I will always use and follow my these strategies and steps while performing any SEO project.

Golden Words

2009-11-19T09:45:00.000-08:00

Following are the some Golden Words which I collected. It is very helpful for our lives.

Straight roads never make good drivers, smooth sea never make good sailors, clear sky never make good pilots and problem free life never makes a strong and good person. Be strong enough to accept the challenges of life. Don't ask life "why me?" Instead say "try me". Have a winning attitude.
Some flowers grow best in the sun, others do well in the shade. Allah always knows what is the best for us. So He puts us where we grow the best.
FACT OF LIFE: Everybody wants to go into heaven, but nobody wants to die. Think about it.
Allah has 3 replies to our prayer. 1) yes, 2) yes but not now, 3) I have a better plan for you. There is never "no". So just keep the faith.
Prayers are not a spare wheel that you pull out when you are in trouble. It is the steering wheel that keeps you on the right path throughout your life.
When you are up in life, your friends get to know who you are. But when you are down in life, you get to know who your friends are.
Happiness is not the absence of problems but the ability to deal with them.
Treat everyone with politeness. Even those who are rude to you. Not because they are not nice, but because you are nice.
Whenever you are criticized, don't get upset. Always remember that "no stones are thrown on a fruitless tree".
A king ordered to make a ring and said that on the ring, write such type of a sentence to which when I read in happiness, I become sad and if I read it in sadness then I become happy. The sentence was "this time will be spent". If you read it in happiness, then you will become sad and if you read it in sadness then you will become happy.

My company Tradekey (Pvt) Ltd. arranged a picnic at Dreamworld Resort on 6th to 7th November 2009. On Friday 6th November, there was a working day in office and after office timings, we all offered prayer of Jumma and then took lunch. After lunch, we departed to the resort. After almost 45 minutes, we reached there. Our department's team lead Mr. Zeeshan Aazmi had already arranged camping tents for us where we stayed.
First, we all offered prayer of Asar and then strolled about at some places of the resort. Then after Maghrib prayer, we joined the ceremony of the company in which the associates of different departments performed different programs and tried to make laugh all of us. After the ceremony, we offered Isha prayer and then took dinner. there were a lot of dishes for us. I took Biryani with Chinese Chiken, Tikka and Gola Kabab. After lunch, we went to the indoor games and played bowling. One thing I noted that there were no much more indoor games. Only bowling and Keram exists. Golf was also there but not allowed for us. After bowling we went to the cricket ground and played cricket. We all enjoyed cricket very much. When the cricket winded up, we ate Mutton Sajji, Cake and took Tea. After it, I went to my tent and slept because I was very sleepy and the time was 2:30 a.m. My other friends didn't sleep. They enjoyed the whole night.
I wake up in the morning at 8:00 a.m. I took breakfast. Halwa Puri, Paratha, Slices, Tea and Lassi were included. After breakfast, I had a plan for swimming but all water park facilities were closed. The admin of the resort said that it would be opened at 11:00 a.m. So all the department boys started playing cricket again. When the clock structed 11, We rapidly winded up cricket and ran to the swimming pool. We enjoyed swimming all the time in the pool and slides. After swimming, we took bath and then took lunch in the Galaxy Hotel of the resort. I took Biryani with Raita, Tikka, Gola Kabab and Ice Cream and Custard in the sweet dishes. Cold drinks were also included. After lunch, we sharp departed for our homes. We really enjoyed this picnic very much and I pray to Allah that He give us chances to arrange such type of picnics almost every year (Aameen).

Sameed Khan - my cute cousin

2009-11-01T05:50:00.000-08:00

Sameed Khan is one of my very cute cousins. He is extremely very bold, confident and intelligent boy (Masha Allah). He picks every knowledge very sharply. He plays with me many times when I go to his home to meet him. He called me "Fahad Bhai". Since when he was a new born baby, smiling every time is its habit. He disturbs everyone a lot that's why he is famous as a naughty boy of our family.

When he cries then looks very cute. One day I made a small boat from paper and gave him to play. He asked me "Fahad Bhai! Where shall I get water for it?" Then I told him that he can take a small tub, fill water in it and float this paper boat on the water. When he went to take the tub in the washroom then his mother strictly denies him. He came to me and while crying told me the situation. I made his crying stop and made him understand that your mother is right. Because while playing with boat in the tub, the water will fall on the floor which will make the room dirty, everyone can slip and hurt and also your mother will have to clean the floor. He understood my all advices and stopped crying.

He read and learn the poems and makes everyone listen when someone wants. This video I recorded in which he is reading a small poem. Looking very cute.

Camp Candy - famous cartoon

2009-11-01T01:46:00.000-07:00

Camp Candy was broadcasted from NTM channel in 90's. This was a very famous cartoon which was specially made for children. I like it very much. I came from school to home and slept. Then after waking up, I completed all my homework very sharp just because I could watch my this favorite cartoon without any tension.

I remember all the characters of this cartoon sofar. The main is the uncle John Candy who run a camp where children perform different activities. All the children are very cute specially I like Bobby who wear inverted cap on his head and is the youngest among all. Also I like Robin, a girl who love animal and wildlife. Some more famous children are Inky, a boy who always fear from everyone. You can say that he was a coward boy. Venessa, who always worry about his face and make-up. Alex who is a sharp girl and always busy in his physical fitness exercises and Rick who is a devil boy and always chase up Inky.

Uncle Candy treats all these children very confidently and responsibly. The channel NTM started this cartoon after dubbing in Urdu language for the facility of children. Here is its theme song in Urdu. Come on! Remember your childhood memories .
