Where Heer Was Written
2008-07-18 03:17:00
When one has seen one Punjabi Town, one has seen them all, except Malka Hans. Now long forgotten by most people, a historic little town was once an abode of Waris Shah, who stayed here and composed universal romance Heer Ranjha. Legend has it that Malik Muhammad (alia Malka) - a member of Hans tribe founded the town some 700 years ago. Hans became powerful when Mughal King Alamgir conferred a vast land around Malka Hans on Sheikh Qutab Hans. In 1764, Muhammad Azam who was the descendants of Qutab Hans became head of the clan and made himself independent.Ran Singh Nakka later treacherously took Muhammad Azam prisoner where he died in confinement. A great Punjabi poet, Waris Shah was born in Jandiala Sher Khan (district Shekhupura) in 1719. After completing his education in Kasur (district Lahore), he shifted his residence to village Malka Hans. Here he resided in a small hujra (living room) adjacent to the historic mosque that was constructed by Hans in 1340. Hafiz Ghulam Murtaza com...

Chitral
2008-07-17 23:34:00
Picturesque Chitral town sits up in Pakistan's northwest district, walled in by the Hindu Kush range. During winters, the only way in is by air (weather permitting) as the two passes, the 3118-meter Lowari from Dir and the 3810-meter Shandur from the upper Gilgit Valley are closed to road traffic. The Fokker Friendships drone for 50 minutes and burst through clouds on decent to reveal on mountains covered with whitecaps and red tin roof houses.This is Chitral. On the small airfield, the cold wind thrust you to shiver. The remoteness of the district has left it undeveloped in spite of grand natural beauty, hospitable people and ancient history. The town is a base camp for tourists, adventurers and researchers from across the world. And, people seem to be living there in peace.Chitral, located at 1500 meters from sea level is a beautiful and historic town. It has lively bazaar -- a miniature Peshawar full of Mediterranean looking faces under Chitrali caps and foreigners. Geoffrey Moo...

Encounter
2008-07-17 21:23:00
Kalpana SahniWe certainly are living on a shrunken planet, inundated with images, news and data from across the world through the media and Internet. Despite that, travelling to another country can still produce confusion and mystification not only for the traveller, but also for the local residents.A Bashkir family friend with a delectable name Aisloo (beautiful moon) arrived from Moscow with a shopping list which included a saree request ? a silk saree with cucumbers all over it.?Yes, my friend saw an Indian lady in Moscow wearing a saree with cucumbers and simply fell in love with it.? Aisloo smiled smugly.It was an impossible request! Not even in our wildest imagination could we regard cucumbers as something aesthetically pleasing to the eye. We tried to dissuade Aisloo but to no avail. At the shop I lowered my voice and hesitantly asked the saleswoman to show us sarees with cucumbers. Her reaction, thank goodness, was the same as ours ? disbelief. Moments later there was an exc...

Our Bridges
2008-07-16 23:33:00
Pervaiz Munir Alvi American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) every year puts out a very beautiful calendar on bridges all over the world. However there has never been any bridge from Pakistan on this calendar, and there are reasons for that. Pakistan in the last six decades has not built a bridge of any aesthetic or architectural value. Most of the new major bridges are of the economic variety built for the roads out of pre-cast concrete boxes or beams, or of plate girders that any one hardly notices driving over. Also since rivers are not used for navigation like they are in the developed world, the bridge spans are not very large or high. Therefore there is no need of high super structures like one sees in the case of Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco or other structures like that all over the world. On the other hand rail traffic requires heavier bridges than does the road traffic. Again unfortunately Pakistan Railway has hardly built any new rail lines since the British perio...

Blogs need no introduction now. Among Internet fraternity, it seems everyone has one or two, Pakistani users base included. Word blog -- in case any one still does not know - came by combining Web and log and it was "most used world on the Internet in 2003." According to Forrester Research, a tech-consulting company, "Blogging's share of Web traffic has grown from two percent in 2003 to five percent in 2004, so far.

Craft of Skin Painting
2008-07-16 03:13:00
Art seems to have been important to almost all human societies since before recorded history. Art expressions have been, and still are, used to record, to explain, to interpret, to predict, to gain awareness, and to express those things cultures find important,? wrote by Turner Rogers, an associate professor of art education at the University of South Alabama.This assertion is truer in case of Pakistan where some of the medieval arts have originated, and have not only been preserved but are practiced till date. The history of Pakistani arts and crafts ? Kashi work, painting of skin, woodworks and painting on wood items -- goes back to medieval period.Among the various arts that are practiced in Pakistan, skin painting has attained a higher state of refinement and Pakistan is famous this art around the world. The use of foliage or branches and leaves of trees and superb richness of colours (mainly blue) in skin painting is an evidence of Persian influence. As Persian arts themselves ...

An important battlefield for centuries, Dipalpur is now a quite and peaceful town. It is situated at the distance of 25 Kilometres from Okara on an old bank of River Beas in Bari Doab. Dipalpur is famous in the history as an outpost that has played a significant part in the defence of Delhi kingdom against Mongol invasions in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.History of Dipalpur dates back to ancient times. The coins of Sakas (Scythian) period found on the site suggest that the place was inhabited in 100 (BC). After Multan this is probably the oldest living city in the Subcontinent.

Reminiscences
2008-07-15 01:18:00
There are lessons in the first landscapes of every one's life. Mine was a vista of green paddy fields, smoking with Salt Range mist, against a setting of ribbon of River Jhelum which from distance looked like a shore of another land altogether. The rough, rugged hill range appeared uninviting against a sky withering with the morning, interrupted by the dawn's red and blue brush strokes. My first learning in life was also in the village.In villages, people still live without assessable roads or other civic amenities of this modern age. No telephone or the Internet, even the electricity is the recent phenomenon; some are still without it. You see one village and you have seen all. This was the setting where I spent first twenty year of my life savouring the freedom of adulthood. It is where I decided what (and how) I wanted to do with life. It is where my mother, brothers and friends live. It is where I return whenever my active life allows me to. It is where I want to settle and sp...

Collision Politics
2008-07-14 23:48:00
Anwar SyedIT has been strangely quiet on the political front with no report of any significant development, except that the government may be toying with the idea of launching an ?operation? against militants.More worrisome is the fact that not much is even being said. Asif Zardari and Asfandyar Wali Khan may be believers in silence being golden. Nawaz Sharif, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Qazi Hussain Ahmed and Mushahid Hussain were all known for their loquaciousness, but they too seem to have taken to taciturnity. It may be that they have chosen to be non-committal on the overriding issue facing the country (dealing with militants).A few sparks have, however, flown out of an otherwise cool pile of ash. Amin Fahim, still a vice-chairman of the PPP, said recently that the ruling PPP was not the old and real PPP but a new one (new presumably because it is now directed by Mr Zardari), and that he had nothing to do with its governance. On July 3 Mr Zardari removed Abdul Qadir Shaheen, a veter...

2008-07-12 05:47:00
Advances in information and collaborative technologies are resulting in rapid changes in work practices. An emerging technological phenomenon called telecommuting (or telework) is helping professionals move away from physical presence at the primary work site and towards remote delivery of inputs.While the concept of telecommuting has been in existence for some time, the technological tools available today are making it possible to practice it more productively. The trend has steadily grown over the past two decades in the developed world.Pakistan job market, however, has traditionally been tight. It is tough for an employable workforce to find regular jobs, what to talk of telecommuting. As a result, the trend is yet to pick up in corporate Pakistan.What is telecommuting? It is a work practice made possible by use of telecommunication and collaborative technologies to facilitate work at a site away from the traditional office environment.

University Of Phoenix Allies Itself to Bloggers
2008-07-11 03:30:00
Awhile ago, The Economist published an article about digital nomads, a growing class of workers that aren't anchored to an office. (Typically they're anchored to wi-fi, possibly the cruelest micro-manager of all.) People like this now constitute 30 percent of the US workforce.I don't think most people think all-online professions are very realistic ("Clearly she's a trustafarian!"), so articles like The Economist's are a big step toward legitimizing them to pinstriped peers and bummed-out parents.The University of Phoenix knows a little somethin' about struggling for legitimacy. (Online masters degrees? Is that like vocational school for fat-asses?) So it's decided to affiliate itself with a small (but charming!) sect of online laborers: bloggers.The text in the ad at left describes a very busy girl: "19 years old, works part time, blogs daily, goes to school online." See how they snuck that "goes to school online" thing in? Also, I'm lovin' how they say "blogs daily" as if...

History Has It
2008-07-10 06:43:00
An old sleepy and dusty village Sher Garh lies about 20 minutes drive away from Renala Khurd (Okara). The coins found at Sher Garh prove that the place was inhabited at the time of Kushan dynasty. Though ?the name Sher Garh was given by the Governor of Molten, Faith Jang Khan after the name of Afghan King Sher Shah Sure,? wrote Abbas Khan Sarauni in his book Tarikh Sher Shah Suri.On the old bank of River Beas, it is a typical Pakistani village where farmers live like rustics in the face of urban attractions. Even the electricity and telephone are a recent phenomenon. But the village has never been out of limelight. Besides heritage conscious people from all over the world, the village is venerated by a large number of devotees. Reasons, a massive mud fort and mosque which were built in the period of Afghan Sher Shah Suri. And, it is the last resting place of Saint Muhammad Ibrahim Daud-e-Sani Kirmani Bandgi.If one wants to absorb the sense of history, Sher Garh is a place to visit. ...
