So we reached home last night. Enjoyed it on marriage. Did not do much though, you can actually say I did not do any thing. Hehe. It was quite cold in village. I started wearing 2 pairs of socks from 2nd night!!! Does that sound silly + funny? I missed my cell phone alot while staying at village since there is no reception in the village area where the marriage was, actually there was but very little, only one bar was visible for the signals. My cell phone service provider has constructed call it a tower in next village to ours. So we will get a good reception after it starts working. I was quite pissed off because of the electricity in village. First the village does not get full voltage in all places, you cannot run a heater fully in winters. Second, due to some mysterious and unknown reason, they are cutting our village’s power supply each and every day since a few weeks I think. I heard about it but during my stay in village I seen it my self. It would go around 10:00 pm and then no electricity until 8-10 am in the morning & yesterday it came around 8:00 am and was gone again around 1:00 pm or something, we were at village till 5:00pm and no signs of electricity till then! I was angry around 1:00 pm as I was surfing around, checking my e-mails and checking ShiaChat when shoo it went!

And a young man sentenced to death met his fate on 29th I think or 30th it was. I forgot. I forgot his name too. My bad I know! But I am actually thinking what he did was bad or good. The folks at village sounded like they respect him and consider him say “SHAHEED” or “A MARTYR”. He shot 7 men! Only Allah knows what happened in real. My friend told me on 28th Dec 2005 that the guy is his cousin, I was quite amazed at that. He told me something which is different that the version told to me by my uncle at village, I will take my uncle’s words in this regard. My friend said that a few men were cursing Imam Hussain (a.s.) and calling him real bad names, the guy asked several times to not curse Imam Hussain (a.s.) and stop calling Imam (a.s.) bad names, they did not stop. He reported it to the Base Commander, even he refused to listen to him. Then what did he do? He got his gun and shot all those 7 who were cursing the Imam (a.s.). He was sentenced to death…

I will believe my uncle since he told me an account heard by the man who took the guy’s relatives to jail and he met him in person too on the last day. My uncle told me that there was a bomb blast in Shia mosque at that time, lots of Shias killed. Three of the guy’s fellows, WAHABIS, were congratulating each other for it, the guy got angry and told them to stop it. The guy said don’t enjoy deaths of Muslims. We should not encourage such a thing, we should not enjoy death of any Muslim, be it a Shia or Sunni. They did not listen. They brought sweets and distributed it in happiness!!! (BULL ****!!!) The guy said, wait a minute, I will tell you the place of your sweets, grabbed his gun and shot the 3 at spot. Then he ran and hid, when they came searching for him and to rescue him he shot 4 there. Including his own Shias! Sentenced to death. Oh and I heard he was saying slogs of “NARA-E-HAIDERI”…calling “Ya Ali (a.s.)” & I heard from those who attended his burial, that his face was “lighted” and he was lieing so “calm”, which surely is a sign of…”Martyr”???

Oh and Intel has renamed it self from “Intel Inside” to “Intel Leap Ahead”, a very stupid move I call it. What kinda of a name is that? “Intel Leap Ahead”. I don’t know who on earth suggested that name to Intel! It’s just boring. “Intel Inside” was so cool, not this one…

Happy New Year!!! 2005 passed so fast. A hell lot happened in this year for me. A hell lot! I faced the happiest moment plus most depressing too but thanks to All Mighty Allah, I passed through it, with my bestest friends around me. Learnt alot of new things, had alot of dreams and aims. Let’s see how I accomplish them. I have seen people do something at the end of each year, resolutions or something they call it. Sounds good but I am not able to come up with one such of my own!

Umm, the best thing that happened to me this year. I was told about ShiaChat which is just cool place and I made new friends there too, cool and nice they are masha’Allah. They know who they are. I don’t need to mention their names :p. Do I? I think I am out of words now. See you later!

Happy New Year again!

*sigh*

How do you people manage to be NO Lazy. lol. I am fed up of my laziness. Isn’t giving me any good but causing harm…

I despite of all efforts cannot write something which isnt related to Computers or Technology. I certainly don’t want to tell private things over here, I got the best people from Allah regarding that :-D. So why should I waste my time by telling things here? Hehe.

I need consistency in studies. Just pray and drop a few comments if you can about how to be consistent and all that.

I think it’s time for me to sue this ISP! Actually to sue all ISPs of Pakistan since their service is just terrible. It will not work properly when you are at an emergency. It will make you cry! I just hate their speed. I think it’s some kinda POLICY of them, the more user will be online the more will we fill our pockets! Who knows…Unlimited Dial-up packages were once very expensive and not something every person could afford but now prices have dropped. You can get unlimited for something which you had to pay for 50-100 hours per month in some cases! I don’t know when the situation will improve. We need DSL/Broadband/High Speed Internet and I wonder when will it reach us. PTCL is the only Telephone service provider in Pakistan & they are the ones who are controlling the Gateways for Internet traffic coming to and going out of Pakistan. They are improving too but only reason is competition. More Companies are getting chance to get in Pakistan.

PTCL has done a few blunders in the past. As said, they used to be the ones who would control Internet. All Internet backbone to Pakistan was controlled by them, so they had set very high prices for bandwidth usage for ISPs other than their own (PakNET Online). Then a time came when they blocked VOIP (Voice over IP or Voice over Internet in other words). They blocked it with reasons that it’s causing a harm to their Telephone services. Why? Because they used to charge say Rs.80 per minute to USA whereas VOIP in some cases was free and in other was only a few Rupees per minute! Free for PC 2 PC calls and a bit of charges for PC 2 Phone calls. Then they decided to get “ISLAMIC” and do something which would stop the masses of Pakistan from surfing pornography, Pakistani IT experts were harsh on PTCL for this purpose, fine blocking such content is very good thing but the methods they used for blocking were just useless, one could easily by pass it and they wasted millions on it without getting the result. PTCL bought only one Internet back bone for it self to be used by all Pakistan, which usually cuts down atleast once in a year’s time causing damage to our economy and people. There was no Internet for many days a few months ago…

Looks like the situation is improving now. More and more Companies are coming and investing in Pakistan. Broadband/DSL providers have started working in the large cities of Pakistan with reasonable prices too, but I hear their speeds are still bad. Reason for that is usual Telephone copper lines. They are old now, we will only get full speed if these lines are upgraded fully forever. I read a jobs notice yesterday in news papers, a new Telecom company is starting to lay its own cable in the Capital Islamabad for broadband internet and Telephone services, so I hope the situation will improve. Plus, Warid Tel has also planned to lay fibre optic cable across Pakistan, they will start their own Telephone service + broadband and they will be providing bandwidths to ISPs too in very reasonable prices which will effect the end users too, like me! ETISALAT is the company who bought 25 percent of PTCL in an open auction, now they are unable to pay for it. I have heard its because they are not able to make banks give them money to be invested in Pakistan…If ETISALAT takes over PTCL, it will improve by leaps and bounds…insha’Allah.

Let’s just hope…

I have been labelled as Microsoft lover and Bill Gates big time fan too and they said I try to defend their products too much. I mean why not? Its because of Microsoft and Bill Gates that we have reached here. They were the ones who gave future visions of things. They are the ones building more and more. Then they call Billy stole software from Apple and IBM and bla bla bla. My foot! You are all loosers :p. When you cannot compete a Company you just put them in court and label them as “CHEATERS” and “BAD PLAYERS” and wat not. If your products were good enough, they would have struck through! Mozilla’s example is in front of you…

Another thing, “It’s better to fail than to cheat.” Right? But when someone fails why are they not welcome? Why are those passed through who cheat?

What a world this is…Wonderful!

Koi apna tha jo apna na rahaa
I had someone who’s no more

Koi sapna tha jo sapna na raha
I had a ream which is no more

Never mind!

*sigh*

Papers papers papers!

Updated: For English users, who never know urdu :p.

Got exams people. Tomorrow’s first paper. So I might not be updating my Blog much often. Remember me in your prayers…

Ah..what am I doing here! I should be studying. I know! I know! Got a lil project to finish first…

http://www.wftv.com/slideshow/2691965/detail.html?qs=;s=54;w=400

I always wonder when I see such a “Project”.

Taj Mahal…

http://www.taj-mahal.net/
http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Taj_Mahal.html

I read an article long ago of Javed Choudhry I agreed with him fully, on his point of view. Muslims when sticked to their religion “truely” were glorious. As soon as they got out of their religion’s teachings and become “Money Wasters”…they were…

Shah Jahan, fine, a great Muslim emporer, whatever he was. I don’t question that but was making “Taj Mahal” not a waste of money? It’s beautiful indeed, wonder of the World? I don’t question that. I don’t question love for his wife but was it not a waste of money? Why did his wife die? She died while giving birth to a child. After his wife’s death, he just lost control over him self, as in he was just sad and sad and sad about her and he decided to make “Taj Mahal” in her rememberance.

Around same time frame, the article said, Britain had a King too, he lost his wife while she was giving birth and instead of mourning for her for rest of his life and order “Wasting money on a Tomb for her”. He issued orders that gather young and energetic women from far away villages and cities, teach them the ups and downs and how to deal with child birth, send them back to their villages and cities and ask them to teach more and more women about it & if I hear that a woman has died while giving birth after this, the woman taking care of the birth case and family of the woman who died, they will have to answer me and I will not leave them alone.

Think for your self…
