My Expressions
2009-09-24 04:56:00
I don?t know when Urdu became my identity. It is ascribed one and I love it; really. Born and raised speaking Punjabi, I also learnt foreign languages (like English and Russian) to move about in faster lanes of life but I always express my deeper emotions and inner feelings in Urdu. Two of my books {Izhar (Expressions ), Ret Pe Tehreer {written on the Sand} are in Urdu. This (Urdu) sophisticated language facilitates you to do that. Anyone speaking Urdu in a crowd of people speaking alien languages is automatically a company.I realized my love for the language when I was learning Russian at National University of Modern Languages, Islamabad. When my Russian teacher Alica used to say, ?I have learnt more Urdu than I have taught you Russian.? When Sakina Mirkhajevna used to ask us to sing her songs in Urdu; she could not understand the meanings but, ?I enjoy the sweetness with which words flow,? she used to tell.I learnt English the hard way. I was at a professional academy and order of...

Dera Ghazi Khan or Dera of Waderas, Sardars and Tumandars
2009-09-23 15:43:00
There were many things on my schedule when I travelled from Multan to Quetta by road instead of rail: to see the tomb of Ghazi Khan , to visit famous Fort Monro and familiarize myself with this less travelled rout to Quetta.For those who take their chance for the first time to the city, it might sound too good to be true but Dera Ghazi Khan (D G Khan) in the past was known as Dera Phullan Da Sehra ? ?land of flowers?. ?The canal skirted its eastern side, fringed with luxurious gardens of mango trees, while ghats lined the bank, thronged in summer by numerous bathers.Ghazi Khan Mirani son of a Baloch chieftain Haji Khan founded the city on his own name on the tract between Suleman Range and River Indus in 1474. Bannu-Dera Ismail Khan-Jacobabad, famous trade route of the ast ran through the city. It developed into a very beautiful and prosperous city of that time. Till 1758, eighteen princes of the Ghazi Khan?s family successively ruled the city and bore the names of their ancestors?, ...

Eid Greetings Post
2009-09-20 13:40:00
Shirazi says Eid Mubarak to you and your loved onesI miss letters and greeting cards. A letter delivered by a postman, with its lines of handwriting, loops and angles that give a reflection of personality and, perhaps, secrets tucked inside the letters. Waiting for the postman to find a letter is old fashioned but many cherish still. Then opening letters, reading, and reading them again. There is a romance in writing and receiving letters that seems almost entirely lost to people particularly those who inhabit the cyberspace in this information era.The switch to email and instant messaging has created an entirely new kind of language - of shorthand, emoticons (term coined by joining two words emotions and icons), graphics, and poor or nonexistent grammar, and missing punctuation, computer slang. It has also given birth to another kind of greetings: cyber greetings. This is about that.Emails, instant messaging and text messaging (through cell phones) are quick and easy. Even person l...

A Better Pencil
2009-09-19 20:07:00
By now the arguments are familiar: Facebook is ruining our social relationships; Google is making us dumber; texting is destroying the English language and now the Internet is melting our brains as we know it. We're facing a crisis, one that could very well corrode the way humans have communicated since we first evolved from apes. What we need, so say these proud Luddites, is to turn our backs on technology and embrace not the keyboard, but the pencil.No! The author of "A Better Pencil " explains why such hysterical hand-wringing is as old as communication itself. Read at Salon

My Bloggy Community
2009-09-19 06:00:00
Posts that come from heart and speak personal truth and experience are the best. "Hit an emotional chord, not just intellectual ones," as a friend says. Next best are those when experts share their knowledge on specific subjects.That said, one of the best ways that I have found out to expand my bloggy fraternity is to set a goal to comment on say 5-10 blogs a day that are outside my usual reads. I also continue to see the work others are doing about topics of my interests. Technocrati is a good source to see what other bloggers are writing about on a specific topic I am exploring.We all like to be linked to and so the more I have trackbacks to other people?s work they are expected to come by and read mine and eventually may link too! I try in addition to putting a link or two into my posts. It seems to have worked really well for me.How do you reach out and how are you expanding your blog community?

At Mountains
2009-09-19 05:25:00
Climbing the mountain had been on my mind for almost all my life, particularly ever since I did a course in Rock Repelling and trekked some softer mountains up in the North. Let me hasten to add that yet I have not climbed K 2 or Nanga Parbat -- icons of Pakistani climbing, as identifiable and as famous as the Mount Everest. But I have been pretty close to them, at the distance that seemed nearly close enough to touch their summits. As a mountain lover, I had lived some of my life in the base camps of these majestic mountains and some others in Northern Pakistan; with some famous mountaineers, explorers and adventurers from all over the world or alone.Life at all base camps is almost the same. Mess tents are the best places in the base camps where every one huddles like a living rooms. It usually is a hole climbers dig in the snow or rocks and cover it with tarp or it is a natural cubby hole behind and in between rocks.

Should marriages have timelines?
2009-09-18 18:42:00
Rose?s post on Lessons Learned is thought provoking (and gutwrenching) - and topical! Should marriages have timelines?What do you think about this? I recently joined in a conversation by a group of men who were talking about marriage. The premise was this, marriage should have a timeline. One guy said it should be a law that marriages should be terminated on the 1oth year. He felt that this was the time that boredom set in and the roving eyes really started. The other men were in agreement.What do you think? Should marriages have a timeline. If we had the choice to set timelines on our marriages, would you?Where the society is moving to?

Investment Toward Your Career
2009-09-18 06:16:00
Like all other fields of human activity, computer based information technology is also pervading different aspects of education that has visibly enhanced learning. Students have already integrated computers in learning. Computers have made seismic impact in distance education. With the advent of computers and the internet, learning is no longer restricted to time and place. Students these days have access to a great amount of relevant information and resources outside the confines of classrooms and auditoriums.Personally, after learning basics during my early years at college, whatever I have gained in the field of Information Technology is through online training. That is why I can say with my personal experience that any person who wants to improve career and wants to excel can do so online. One of the major source of learning online is K Alliance- a leading computer based and online training company that offers a wide range of computer training courses. Have a look at K Alliance ...

IT Infrastructure in Higher Education
2009-09-18 05:21:00
How employment of computers and IT infrastructure can help higher education in classrooms, laboratories, and libraries in Pakistan. Most public sector universities and business schools still lags behind in deployment of IT. Reason: Economically, Pakistan is yet not very strong nation.Although government officials' statements and statistics shown indicate that the economy has started to mature yet there has always been scaling-down in education and investment in the sector has not caught up as a priority it is worth. Hence, graduates of many public sector universities cannot compete with those who have an opportunity to study in good private sector universities. While much progress has been made in making computers and the Internet available to educational institutions in the past few years, nowhere computer student ratio is seen to meet student's ever growing IT needs. "You can see more than 25 students flocking on one computer and same number waiting for their turn," says Mohsin ...

Presently, economies all over the world are very sluggish and going for common people is getting tougher every day. But life has to go on and people still have to live the life as it unfolds. People still need money not only for paying the bills but also for surprises that come in like; unplanned eventualities. What you do? What you do when more of the conventional sources of income are drying up. There are only a few options for common people. Irony is that needs and wants don?t see your options. They ?happen? at their own pace and time. It is in this milieu that I suggest you should know your credit score ? numerical expression that reflects the person?s creditworthiness of a person based on his or her credit history or the credit files of the debtors. The credit scores are used to analyze the financial capacity of the debtors to repay their debts. The credit scores are used by the various financial institutions like banks and also lenders to evaluate the potential of an applicant...
