Migratory Birds
2008-12-23 08:36:00 Pakistan receives a large number of migratory birds from Europe and Central Asian States every year. These birds spend the winters in Pakistan and go back to their native habitats in the summers. The route these birds take from Siberia to Pakistan is known as International Migratory Birds ' Route Number 4. It is also called the Green Route or Indus Flyway. Out of seven flyways, Indus Flyway is one of the busiest routes. Birds begin their journey in November. February is the peak time and by March they start flying back. These periods may vary depending upon weather conditions in Siberia and in Pakistan.Birds' migration is of different forms: diurnal (during day), nocturnal (night flights), altitudinal (from heights to lower parts) and latitudinal (from north to south). One of the reasons for migration is that food is not available in indigenous habitats during winter seasons. Other factors include changes in temperature, reduced daylight hours, and instinctive behaviour.The Indus F...

Cultures
2008-12-20 08:25:00 Prof. Dr. Norbert PintschThe most important factors for the current development were laid in the 19th century. The rejection of thinking and acting as a community meant for the technology an enormous increase in the industrial production because the division of work led to higher productivity and new professions and it appeared on the face of it to increase the standard of living in western cultures (for example the Taylorism as introduced in Ford automobile factories etc.)Analysis of the society by political and economic thinkers led to development theories, which could not foresee the effects of these policies as evidenced today. The cardinal error by these theorists was the euro-centristic model, i.e. nobody took the happenings in other cultures into consideration.In Smith's economic system, the free market functioned globally, as long as global meant regionally and maximum on a national level.In Marx's political system the democracy functions internationally, as long as the po...

Bolan Pass
2008-12-20 07:48:00 Owais MughalOne of the greatest Engineering feats of British rule in India was to lay a railway track through the famous Bolan Pass . More than a century old, this railway track still generates an awe among rail enthusiasts all over the world.Orders or a feasibility survey of Bolan Pass Railway were first issued by the British Government in 1876. Work on the construction of railways through the Pass started in 1880 but was stopped after laying of only 31 km track due to the occurrence of famous 'battle of Maiwind' in the area. Work restarted in 1885 by rapidly laying a rail track in the bed of river Bolan and finally a steam locomotive rolled into Quetta via Bolan Pass in August of 1886.The present day railway track through Bolan Pass is actually the third attempt of laying railways through the pass. In 1889 torrential floods destroyed the track which was first laid on Bolan River bed. A new track was laid at a higher altitude but that also got washed away. In 1890 orders were issu...

The number of computers is set to explode in the next few years, reaching the two billion mark by 2008. Unprecedented technology growth in deed! But this is not about the technology growth.

The paper making technology was exported to China in the 2nd century BC and later to the Arabs world in the 8th century. Now paper and paper products are made and used all over the world. Though the process has been refined over years but the basic raw material is pulp that is obtained from wood by cutting trees.

Over 92 percent of today?s paper comes from trees, and paper production is responsible for about a fifth of the total wood cut... More About: Computers , Trees , Save

Dare to Drive in Lahore
2008-12-15 10:53:00 The word is out and it is saying that Lahore has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia. Known for its beautiful gardens, exquisite fountains, delicious cuisines, and rich heritage of architecture, art and music, Lahore is once again reinventing itself. This time it is changing into a crowded habitat. This second largest city of Pakistan and fourteenth largest city in the world has unique driving habits.Few drivers have this well-known style: they will always drives at a speed less than 40 kilometres per hour along the middle of recently beautified, recently widened Lahore roads, and forget the distinctly marked speed lanes. They drive without looking left or right as if mesmerized by the taillights or what ever is written on the back screens of the vehicles they are following closely. Surely they feel safest but what happens when one drives slowly in fast lane? The fast lanes remain always clogged, and the only way to escape a 'fast lane blockade' with confid...

Pakistani University Rankings
2008-12-12 13:46:00 Owais MughalHigher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan has recently released the university rankings of Pakistan. The rankings are generating so much interest that I am receivng four to five emails daily with people forwarding me the same link to HEC?s ranking web page. (Scroll down to see rankings and details).I am kind of disappointed with my alma-mater, NED University of Engineering and Technology Karachi, ranked at number 10 out of the 13 engineering Universities of Pakistan. The photo to the right-below shows few views of NED University.I genuinely and of course with a little bias think that NED university should?ve been ranked among the top 3. When I make such claim; I do it on the basis of sheer engineering talent I?ve personally seen at NED. But rankings do not take into account the student talent. They look at finances, faculty, number of studetns etc. My university mates as well as the university officials have already started the discussion on how to improve the rankin...

The Ties
2008-12-12 06:47:00 Ties have recently become a subject for debate in Britain after some of the most famous proponents - including newsreader Jon Snow - began publicly wondering whether they had a future.it seems that chief among the ties tormentors could be a small Silicon Valley firm you may have heard of: witness this odd piece of communication from Google spotted by our regular columnist Nick Carr.It comes from Peter Fleischer, Google's top privacy boss, who wrote a letter to the Financial Times on the subject.It constricts circulation to the brain. And it acts as decorative camouflage for the business suit, designed to shield the middle-aged male physique, with its shrinking shoulders and protruding paunch, from feeling sufficiently self-conscious to hit the gym.Men should lose their "business attire" and wear T-shirts to work. Wouldn't you like to know whether your business partners are fit? Why should you trust a man in business if he abuses his own body? And heaven knows what waves of creativ...

Avatar
2008-12-11 09:05:00 There is a statue in a square of Rotterdam. This effigy has been carved out of stone. It is a human looking up into the sky, as if trying to stop what is coming down with his hands raised and there is a hole where his heart should be. Disproportionate, parts of the figure are not at the right places nor are seemingly fitting in the scheme of sculpture ? neck is not exactly in the centre of the shoulders and is sticking out, elbows are at a little distance from arms. Similarly, legs, ankles, feet, stomach and chest all seem out of place. Seeing the sculpture from a distance gives an impression that it will wither away with the wind.This Artwork was put on display in Rotterdam in 1951. Reflection of thoughts of sculptor Ossip Zadkine, thinkers of the city as well as the municipality, this statue was erected here after the World War II to commemorate bombing and burning down of the city.What does it reveal? I think the statue reveals human inner conflict; Disorder in times of turmoil d... More About: Avatar

Architecture Award Winner Bhong Mosque
2008-12-08 16:57:00 Traveling through Pakistan countryside away from the main highways, it is best to keep remember that petrol stations are few and far between on relatively deserted roads. Also the road, drive slowly and keep close to the edge of your road when encountering large trucks. Watch out for animals transport and animals on the road. Be sure your motor vehicle is roadworthy. You do not want to suffer a breakdown anywhere back o' Bourke, ie, away from civilization. Or else be ready to what happened to us while going to see the mosque in Bhong.After having famous ?Doodh Mesu? from a hotel in Sadiq Abad, we turned off the Road towards village Bhong. In the areas as the harvest approaches, the traveller, especially in the irrigated tracts, ride through endless expanses of waving crops of different shades of colour, out of which the villages seem to rise like islets in an ocean of green. After the harvest all is changed: the dull brown of the fields is relieved by the trees, solitary or in grov... More About: Travel , Architecture , Mosque , Award , Winner

Bakka
2008-12-06 05:46:00 A short story by Pervaiz Munir AlviEven though there was nothing remarkable about him, still every body knew Bakka Gujjer. Those were the days when many in our neighborhood kept a milk cow or a buffalo at their homes. Bakka was their sole trusted community cow-hand. At the crack of the dawn he would show up at our door and yell: ?Doctor Chaman, Bakka is here.?When I was young I used to hate Bakka for many reasons. For one, I had this assigned job to get out of my bed, go downstairs and hand him the milk-pail filled with water so that he could wash and milk our cow. And then I must stay there to take the heavy pail of milk back upstairs to the kitchen. And the second reason: ?Why the hell he always calls me doctor chaman?. ?Bakka, I am not Doctor Chaman and don?t you call me by that name,? I would scream at him. ?OK Doctor Chaman,? Bakka will answer with a grin. And the third reason of my irritation with him was that Bakka was hard of hearing. ?Why must I always yell at the top of my...
Writing a Mystery: Dream or Destiny
2008-12-04 11:00:00 by Lillie AmmannA long-time dream became destiny when my romantic mystery novel Dream or Destiny was published a few weeks ago.I had written the book about ten years earlier and even had an agent, who tried without success to find a publisher. After my two-year contract ended with the agent, I put the manuscript away and decided it wasn?t going to be published.But the characters kept calling to me, demanding their destiny of publication. So periodically I pulled the manuscript out and revised it, even getting feedback from other writers.I found a publisher, but before the book went into production, the publishing company made some business changes that I didn?t like. The company released me from my contract, and the manuscript was put away again.However, my characters, who had been the driving force behind the book from the beginning, were determined they weren?t going to stay hidden away on my computer hard drive forever. They wouldn?t let me forget them or the story.When I started... More About: Writing , Mystery
Alexander's Navel Station
2008-12-03 07:19:00 Name Jhelum reminds of Alexander from Macedonian who came to the South Asia sometime in 326 BC. He moved from Taxila of Raja Ambhi, whom he subdued without fight, to Kalar Kahar. From there he moved over the Salt Range, turning left, along the western bank of River Jhelum, which he called Hydaspes. He encamped in area of present village Darapur (a monument is under construction at the site of the camp). Opposite him on the other bank was a Raja Porus. They fought Alexander?s biggest Indian battle which Alexander won, achieving a masterly surprise against the valiant Rajput.Before moving further, along the River Alexander established a village on west bank of the River and ordered construction of 2000 boats. Greek Admiral Nearches was to arrange wood from nearby higher hills which would be floated down the River and hauled up at this point. He called this village as Boucephila (Present Jhelum city).

Benedict Spinoza
2008-12-03 06:54:00 I read this today: "Benedict (Baruch) Spinoza was a philosopher from Holland. All his life he lived in poverty and was also excommunicated in 1656. He was sick and seeing his condition one of his devotees took him home. When the host and his family had gone to attend service in Church on Sunday, person who was looking after Spinoza who was sure of Spinoza?s death, looked around, pocketed some money laying on the table and a knife with silver grip and vanished.Spinoza had declined the chairmanship of Philosophy Department, the Heidelberg University, did not oblige King Lois IV by dedicating any of his books to him as he desired though he could have earned stipend for life in return. Famous merchant of Amsterdam wanted to make him his successor but Spinoza disliked. So many people were ready to help but Spinoza was rich with his own contentment. The servant might have got some thing more valuable if Spinoza would have had accepted the bounties.Spinoza?s statue is standing tall in Hagu...

Khanewal Junction
2008-12-03 06:14:00 Located near old Multan, Khanewal is comparatively a recently founded town. Its only claim to fame is that it is an important destination on the map of Pakistan Railways. Busy railway junction, railway workshop, pre stressed concrete sleeper factory and huge shunting yards have developed a sort of railway culture in this agricultural market town. National highway also passes the town but people mostly uses railways for travelling and transportation. This area was a vast grazing land before the excavation of Lower Bari Doab Canal. As per the local lore, the grass from this land used to go as far as Burma during the Second World War. Travelling from Lahore to Khanewal on the National Highways, one still finds the forestland on the west of the Highway and railway track that are laid side by side. Legend has it that that Dewan Sanwal Mall, the famous Sikh governor of Multan appointed Farid Khan as an administrator in order to collect the grazing tax from the livestock owners and he foun...

Blogging is an online personal diary written on or at a website and frequently updated for public viewing. It is a web journal where people who are called bloggers write about anything they want. Most bloggers write about things that move them such as love, sex, good books, gossip about television stars, family issues and musicians. Blogs can serve as a creative form of communication between writers and responders as well as a means of self-expression for those individuals who are merely seeking a sounding board. I enjoy blogging and have met some amazing blogging friends. Many of them share my love of the written word.

Making Money Online in Pakistan
More articles from this author:2008-11-30 12:46:00 Blogging is no more a new phenomenon in Pakistan . Many Pakistani online users are writing their own and rest are reading others' blogs and interacting in meaningful ways. Their voice is being heard in the blogsphere. Getting paid for blogging is still a new idea in Pakistan though.There are reasons for this. Ironically, corporate Pakistan is yet not aware of blogs as economical, effective and interactive marketing tool. Like anywhere else, blogs can be a welcome mat for local businesses to reach out across the world but this has not started happening yet. Which is why Pakistan blogsphere can be characterized by only anti-establishment, noncommercial write-ups and rants. Exceptions aside, Pakistan blogs are mainly personal where bloggers post purely because of their own interests.One wonder why local businesses have failed to notice the growing readership and influence of these Internet postings and the buzz corporate blogging can create particularly as a process of Search Engine Ma...
