More Random Ramblings
2008-11-13 16:17:00 I was the referee for a soccer game on Sunday that featured a predominantly Spanish speaking team. At one point, a player on the opposing team came up to me and said, "You know they are swearing in Spanish, right?" (Swearing can get a player a red card.) Um, no. Apparently, several players said "puta" during the game, which I now know means bitch. That seems like a very odd expression to say when your shot badly misses the goal. Perhaps son of a bitch, but just bitch doesn?t seem to fit. Regardless, my New Year?s resolution will be to learn Spanish swear words and the appropriate expression to tell the players that I know what they?re saying so knock it off.I?m a little late in writing about this but Tuesday night?s Pittsburgh Penguins-Detroit Red Wings game was amazing. It's only November but the 7-6 overtime win will be the game of the year. I know there has been a lot of discussion about what to do with Jordan Staal, but if the Penguins are able to keep him at a reasona...

Pakistan in Washington?s Smithsonian Museum
2008-07-24 07:42:00 Owais MughalOutside Pakistan any reference to mother land naturally catches our attention (see Beijing?s Pakistani Connections and Pakistani Towels in Missouri). Last week I got chance to visit Washington DC?s Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History (NMNH). This museum was opened in 1910 and was among the first building built for Smithsonian to house national treasures. Among other treasures of knowledge and research preserved in the museum, there is a section dedicated to Pakistan. The whole theme of Pakistani pavilion is around a ?bazaar? being the center of social activities in a Pakistani village.Shown above is a scene of Pakistani village depicted at Smithsonian Museum of Natual History in Washington D.C.While the information given about Pakistan in the museum is correct and displayed articulately, my only comment is that it does not cover the whole story. It gives an impression as if Pakistan is all tribal or nomadic and it completely ignores the well-settled, pretty mo...
