Number 1 and nothing less....
Despite an aritificially orchestrated engagements ,I couldnot help firing a blogpost yet again right now.Witnessed by all and sundry,a single sincere effort can trigger the sentiments of unity,amity and all sense of togetherness among Pakistani nation.Every countrymen is proud,delighted and holding his head high like anything and why not the young-blood has just a couple of hours back drilled through the dark clouds a beam of light ;read "Hope of still being tied together strong" for Pakistani nation.
After ages,every young and elderly were not moving their eyes off the screens,waiting for the moments.Traffic disappeared from road while streets and markets wore deserted looks during match hours.After qualifying in semis,every Pakistani has some sort of strong feeling that this time we will make it.Before stepping into ground todays morning,Pakistanis were appearing to have gearing up for lifting the cup right from the time, the game kicked off.The morale of the nation was already boosted beforehand by some aggressive comments coming from skipper shrugging off any chance for runners up to snatch the triumph though he was quite magnanimous.The jam-packed stadium was stuffed with myriads of green elements.Lankans were already kind of underdogged.Ahhh Jubilations,fireworks and what not as of now.Pakistani team is sure to get some great entertainment back home.
This was for the first time that I have seen my mom sitting on the prayer mat for the last 7 overs and constantly praying for the team unlike other times when she never missed a chance to criticise me for wasting the precious time.Not even asking me to switch over to neither Masalah channel nor Zouq.Match recepie tasted so good perhaps.Not to mention,the way Pakistani team maintained the momentum and crept up steadily towards their ultimate score,it had been totally different from days gone by.I was amazed to hear the commentators sounding quite warm when calling Afridi - BOOM BOOM AFRIDI and to which my mom was calling it "GHOOM GHOOM AFRIDI and JHOOM JHOOM AFRIDI".Anyways congratulations Pakistani team and to Pakistani nation,they have something among the bloodshed to be happy about.These nail-biting moments would always be cherished by Pakistanis around the globe.One thing is for sure,one that i believe,that cricket drives the spirit of this nation,it triggers an electric wave that lasts quite long and I pray that our nation get emancipation from all wicked elements and factors and act like a strong fabric thats knitted together.Peace be on all of us.

Manufacturer's Manual
I believe that becoming a coder helps you understand the laws of nature,real-world happenings,architecture and behavior of the things,the ambiance and this very habit helps we coders certain times to unveil certain obscure phenomena which is rather intricate and might even drive sage souls nuts.
Often do we strive for providing rationale for justifying universal truths,we dont simply accept them as is unless we get a proof.I was thinking often when using different products we consult the manufacturer's manual be it any thing of any sort as ultimate knowledgebase.By same token,the
God's commandments are like manufacturer's manual for us and we ought to follow them as-is if we wish to have "All the best" in everything and anything.
God bless us all.....

Chaotic State Or Static Chaos
A chaotic state is the right word in either sense wether the state refers to country or situation in a country for country like ours -Pakistan.Whatever had been the side-effects of dictatorship ,there have been myriads of notable developments during Musharraf's regime and the biggest and perhaps the most significant one being the "way-to-look-at-things" has changed tremendously.My views about this not-so-gradual drift might be entirely an illusion but when it comes to Karachi in particular,the change is emphatic and ubiquitous.The gap between haves and havenots has for sure widened but if you see the brighter aspect of it,the deserving people arent paid in nuts now.There has been marked increase in living standards of salaried class.Albiet,the inflation rose to some extent but it wasnt creating any mess for the people.The sufferers were mostly those guys who were less-educated and these were the first to lead their critics bandwagon from front.
The city was blessed with Mayor of Karachi's History as I would call him for Karachi.He did his every bit to bring a commendable change what is now visible as Karachi wears eye-catching look.One thing is for sure,this all development in Musharraf's regime was the best ever Karachites witnessed,there perhaps wasnt any stepping back in any sphere,everything was apparently seem to have been worked out from ground up.New structures were errected throughout the metropolis.TV channels sprung up from nowhere to keep nation well-informed and aware of what is happening throughout the length and breadth of country.There were few wicked elements,the black sheeps though that should have been put behind bars for inciting sensationalism regarding state affairs.Being Karachite,my city had been "City of Lights" once again.There definitely were few over-the-top things which i believe were practised by previous government which every citizen of Karachi know for sure which provided ground for the newcomers to turn the tables and rein-holder of state governance.
Baffled by new pseudo-government,what we need to do in spur of the moment is to focus on individual growth and concentrate on our individual duties and rights,thats it.Its high time for us to think this way.The thought process has been cultivated into us and we need to execute,be responsible,create awareness and biggest responsibility that lie heavy on our shoulders is to enlight others and not impose ourselves on others and to say big NO to every single illegal obstruction.Be responsible Muslim and Pakistani.
The key points being :Live and let live,Create awareness,Spread education,Dont impose yourself on others,Dont nurture false values,Learn to say emphatic NO to every single illegal obstruction.Love your country and people,they need you-a message for every Pakistani.We need to join our hands together.

Pizza Double Masti Funda
Today we had fiesta at Pizza Hut ,Gulshan-e-Iqbal branch,a great get together followed by Tea party at "Pathan Ka Hotel" with lots of laughters.It was one heck of never-ending gossip that went on till 4-5 hours unlike the few get togethers we had already registered.It was after quite long time since the class mates had been little less sluggish and more open towards being together as they also wanted to spend sometime with their best buddies in the university times.As I was acclaimed uncrowned prince at the end of ceremonious day for bringing the lost souls together ,I was also the first person also at rendezvous doing some wireless efforts ( sms and phone calls ) making sure everybody is around so that we can have some nice time together but thumbs up to Hina as well who brought to notice the idea of get together plan to girl of our class.Even though the people started turning up late but they showed up in numbers.I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw Aeman coming up and finding where everybody is when i was sitting at the corner,later Hammad showed up and then within few minutes we had occupied good number of tables at Pizza Hut to kick off with our fundala stuff.
We took lots of pictures,shared lots of old memories and what not.Soomro joined us late but he did and because of him I was able to eat some more pizza and the very good thing he did was he brought his camera with which we took lots of snaps.
There were some particular observations with no offence regarding the last two great get togethers we had.It was the same Pizza Hut Venue,it was double masti deal both times,both get togethers were arranged by me and both of these get togethers have by chance the same people missing,the reasons and situation might differ though.But all in all ,eventually, i was happy that we were able to spend some really nice and interesting moments together as well as this was not affected by some wicked elements.Section B rocks !!!
