It’s been some time since I wrote something more sensible other than my random ramblings, which rarely make any sense to people other those I know in offline life.

I’ve been thinking and thanking alot lately, for the reasons are, that alot of good things are happening in my life, which altogether is a very nice time. As I write the lines, it’s around 7 am which marks a new year 7 hours ago, which also means that there was alot of noice pollution spread across the city for the celebrations.. I have a couple of questions to that..

What are we celebrating for ? seriously ? For another blood filled year? another major business disaster (economic trash), another conspiracy.. what ? what is it ? There used to be a time when we’d actually make resolutions and work to it, but now, we just hit the easy way out. Thats perfect sense.. shit !

As this new day dawns I want to know what are we looking at ? What are our elders getting out of it? What are our elders giving to our young ones from it ? Is the new (so called) generation benefitting from it ? I want to know more..but I think I’ll save that for some other time, for now I’ll wish you people a Happy New Year.

I’d like to wish you all, plus tell you how my days have been going, because I’ve been enjoying myself lately. I got a laptop finally from the company, which is sweet, I’ve been eating out alot (not that good I know). Oh I had me sickness going away slowly too.. good signs ya know. Even my current blog has been reviewed here. There are some major happening coming up for me in this month, but I’d not like to disclose that to everyone right now, for those who know, I’d request you to please keep it to yourselves, please.

Once again, before I end this post, Happy New Year, and for Godsake, make this year a peaceful one, for everyone, disregarding the race.

Alot of people know that I haven’t been well medically, that is my health isn’t at it’s best right now, so I m staying a little low, and with 25th December, I thought I’d relax alot at home, though the plan was to watch movies and stay up, it didn’t quite work out that way :S

Asim had come over and we had to watch movies with soup and pizza, instead we spent most of the night at the hospital.. My dad developed some sort of very harsh muscle pain around the ribbs, the pain grew way too much and had to be taken to the hospital immediately, and thats what we did !

Dad is much better now, and there’s a little progress on my Bell’s Palsy thing too.

Anyways, when we were back from the hospital, we were a little exhausted, but still Asim insisted that we watch Transporter 3, we did put it on, but started feeling so sleepy so soon, that we had to snooze instead of watching the movie.

Now I got to sleep a little, so I can get to work on time. Oh and btw, Beleated Happy Birthday to Muhammad Ali Jinnah (25th, December), and Belated X-Mas.

It’s not the best days of my life right now. Stuck in the kind of odd days that wants me that I spend sometime with the people I love, and like. I m suffering from Bell’s Palsy, which is a paralysis of cranial nerve VII.

I m still going through this phase and would like to thank a few people who’re supporting me through the time, First obviously Allah who’s given me the power to stand this time, and then my parents and sister, I have awesome friends who’re alwasy here to help me, since I dont quite say thanks to the best of my friends I’d just name them.. Asim, Kamran, Fahad, Hassan, Raheel, Zair and all the people from my current work place (Ahmer, Saad, Immad, Balach, Salman)… From the people I know mostly online, I’d like to thank Abdullah, Imran, Haris, Saad and specially Ramla. Obviously I’d also like to thank my relatives for their concerns..

I know I cannot thank you folks enough, but thanks for being here for me, always.

I m hoping to get back on the groove and start annoying everyone again.

Love.

I had planned this like before Eid (with my offline friends) that we’d do a Barbeque after Eid, and that finally happened last night (Saturday night).

I had to do some preparation before hand, getting the sound system ready, the lightning and all that stuff, and obviously make the sitting arrangements to hold some 6 butts on the ground, so matteresses were pulled out of the closets.

The bbq started off at around 9 which I think is too soon to start a bbq, it should start at something around 11, so people could live and enjoy through the night, but hell 6 boys together cannot get out alive without enjoying.

We had Asim, Fahad, Kamran, Hassan, Najam and me for the bbq. Asim grabbed his Sheesha (huqa) while coming, Fahad had his Guitar, and Kamran and Asim together grabbed a few movies.

There’s nothing much too tell about the whole cooking part, except that we wet fahad ass (with some super cold water) while he was on the grill, and that I tried playing a little guitar and I sucked big time, the sound system sounded better with some good msuic.

We ate food and jumped into my room, where we had moved the mattresses after eating so we could watch the movies. Kamran wanted to make us watch a horror movie which he though would creep us out, so we put on the one which he got, it was a french movie without any subtitles ‘Record’. If you watch it without any random commentry you’d enjoy the horror part of it, but we laughed all night on it, since we had everyone commenting and redubbing what was being said. Hassan being the lead on this made the whole movie sound super funny.

We then had tea and later icecreams during the movie and also watched ‘Dostana’ again, yeah I’ve watched it before too. We had some good pathan nasta, and around 9 we said our lovely dostana good byes.

That was about it, just wanted to write it to remember the good times

Hello folks. I upgraded my wordpress installation last night to 2.7, which turns out to be super cool. Except that I like the top nav in wordpress better, but I think I m going to get used to this one super fast. Oh wait I already have

I really like the 2 click upgrade feature this has, and then the improved dasboard and customizable interface thats offered.

Oh the other hand, I’d also like to tell you people that a considerable part of the blog redesign is complete, I need to add/remove and fix a few things and then I m good to go. People who’ve had a sneak peak, tell me that the new design is nice, I personally think it’s gay haha !

Anyways, it’s the third day of eid here, and I m at office working. Dang !

Later folks.

I’ve been bloggin for quite some time now, I used to do it ona friend’s hosting service before I got my own hosting for work reasons, it was much of a freedom after I had my own hosting. Blogging for me helped me to stay calm and all, you see I could say anything I want on my page, and no one could order me to bring down things, which is the best thing about writing online, you’re your own complete staff, so anyhow, it’s obvious that I would have been pretty excited about this event which was being hosted by Google Pakistan and CIO Pakistan. They had called for all the bloggers in Karachi, and people had come from even different cities to attend this event, which in my opinion is very awesome.

Let me jot down how my I experienced it, I was there with Ammar (RONIN), an hour earlier, which is not quite how the regular Pakistani does it, but honestly we didn’t actually know the way to Royal Rodale we had to find it, turned out the route wasn’t difficult at all. As we approached the hall where this event was being held, we saw a couple of advertisement stands of Google, Wateen, CIO outside in the corridor. As we entered we were greeted by Salaina, who was rather amazed that we had come before time, she handed us our “Hanging Passes” and we walked right into the hall, where the stage was being set up with minor changes being made, then we saw Saad and Haris with their laptops, sooner people had started to walk in, and it felt like something really good was building up, we also got hands on a Red bull, for free

Let me now jump to the main event, the meet up started a little late because of the participants arriving a little late, which is a norm though a not so good one, any how, Rabia took the stage and made the announcements and called Dr. Awab Alvi and Sabeen Mahmud on stage, where they discussed various issues took questions and obviously answered them

Then the microphone was handed over to Badar Khushnood, the only Google representative in Pakistan, and boy he made his points clear and pretty nicely, his basic talk was about the introduction of blogging to people who donot know how to blog or dont know about blogging at all.

Then we had Haris and Saad on stage who talked about Sizlopedia and Sizzledcore, from which they earn thousands of dollars a month, which is awesome.. Jaw dropping for many.

It was a panel questions and answers then, which was after Ramla got to talk about her venture and after Ammar talked about Teabreak.

One of the most important things about the panel discussion was when Shazia spoke, Shazia was a blind girl who was blogging, which made a difference for us because we could understand how they blog and read, being a CSS kid I knew a bit about it, but it was worth more for everyone else.

Then we all went for a Teabreak, I mean a real one.

The event was one that was informative and a very good way to socialize with each other too. We got to know lots of bloggers and their opinions on different topics, I got to meet Ali K. Chishti who’s a lawyer by profession but a funky guy otherwise.

I would love to see those bloggers united agian soon, Inshallah, and I hope more of this kind of events happen across the country.

The tragic incident of Mumbai, India dropped me into a shock. The next moment of the incident, Indian bureaucrats and media started pointing the ‘confident’ finger at Pakistan. This reminded me of ‘Samjhota Express’ tragedy.

Within couple of hours of Samjhota Express bombings, Indian authorities were pointing fingers at Pakistan. Turned out, the gruesome massacre was the handy work of the Hindu extremists, like Col Purohit. There are countless other, serving or retired Indian military officials, like Lt Col Jayant Rao Chitale and Lt Gen P N Hoon who also train and form the Hindu Suicide Squads. Surprise, surprise! It turns out, besides Muslims; Hindus too can be quite proficient at bombings.

It it possbile to believe Indian Media’s irrational propaganda that Pakistan is involved in Mumbai’s incident?

Let’s look at some blames from India:

1. According to Indian forces, the terrorists reached India through boats. At the time when terrorists entered Indian coast, Indian Navy along with Coast Guards was practicing a defense exercise at the coast. The defense exercise was about safeguarding the coast from external elements or ‘Al-Qaeda’. Now let’s come to the fact that how come its possible ‘The great Blue Waters’ Indian Navy and Coast Guards (who keep hunting the fishermen) could not protect the coast? A group of terrorists in ordinary boats with heavy ammunition and weapons enter through coast, is it possible, rationally?
2. It is said by Indian forces that the terrorists never came to Mumbai before; they planned everything through ‘Google Earth’. Maybe the forces who have made this statement don’t know that Google Earth can show only satellite view of a location. How come the terrorists know all the interior locations of hotels? And then they had taxies to different areas and without wasting time they did it. Interesting?
3. If they have come from Pakistan through waters with heavy ammunitions, and they have even crossed the coast, how could they bring such heavy arms inside the hotel where even a lighter is being detected through scanner
4. According to Indian media, they have found a cell phone of a terrorist with Pakistani contact numbers and Pakistani Identity Card of a terrorist too. Wow!!! They have come for a terrorist attempt with all the evidences. They dropped a Pakistani ID card, a phone and other clear evidences…hats off to the media.
5. Indian Govt. has blamed ISI for the incident. ISI is considered a very strong agency globally and India admits that. How come such an organized agency commits a childish act that makes all loss no gain? This kind of attempt can never gain for anyone, but loss. They only occupied some places for sometimes and got killed.

Then who the terrorists were if not Pakistanis?

Indian media’s spectacular eye has ignored clear evidence, unintentionally and intentionally. Have a look at the picture attached, picture of one of the terrorists involved in this attempt. NOTICE THE RED THREAD ON HIS RIGHT HAND. Tying a red thread or cord around the wrist is a Hindu practice and it is unlikely a Muslim, especially one politicized enough to carry out an attack such as this, would observe it. I think this provides more evidence that this was a false flag operation or at least an attack by a non-Muslim group.
Additionally, the terrorists inside the Nariman House Building were reported to have stocked up on supplies on Wednesday evening, buying not just food items but liquor, among other things, from a local store (Source: http://www.shturem.org/index.php?section=news&id=31585) . Again, it is highly unlikely that a Muslim, let alone a ‘Mujahid’, and especially one politicized enough to carry out such an attack, would consume liquor in normal life, let alone hours before his inevitable ‘martyrdom’.

The ENEMY is nowhere but from your own country (100 groups in a war against India):

Mumbai’s night of terror underscores a phenomenon concealed by the Indian government and intelligence agencies and deliberately ignored by a biased Anglo-American media for a long time: The rise of a virulent form of Hindu terrorism that begets violence from other minorities. Here is a list of almost one hundred groups that are fighting the Indian government. All of them thrive in India. The context for what has happened in Mumbai is stunning only for those unaware how a cocktail mix of wrong policies, official patronage to extremism, and separatist movements have come together to destabilize India.
Here is the list: http://groups.google.com.pk/group/paknationalists/web/100-groups-in-a-war-against-india

Neatly tucked under the well constructed – and expensive – veneer of ‘Incredible India’ advertisements on international television channels is the hottest Indian story: The fast rise of Indian religious terrorist organizations that have penetrated India’s military and politics. The movement is so strong, resourceful and organized that it warrants the label India’s Hindu al-Qaeda.
The arrest last week of a serving Indian army colonel who along with some other officers has allegedly transferred military funds, material and training to terrorist groups is a matter that should not escape the attention of India’s neighbors, since it is directly linked to New Delhi’s new desire for expanding its reach beyond its borders and to serve as the regional policeman for American interests in the Asia-Pacific.

And yes, there is no group in India as Daccan Mujahideen.

What are the possible reasons to blame Pakistan?

1. To avoid internal disorganization and ethnical riots.
2. The Indian Intelligence have diverted the global attention towards another issue where they would blame Pakistan for this slaughter and use Barack Obama’s doctrine of attacks on Pakistan to encircle Pakistan from both sides.
3. To grab world attention by a local 9/11.
4. For the past many weeks, the biggest story in India was involvement of Indian Military Intelligence officers in orchestrated acts of terrorism against Muslims to create a Hindu-Muslim riot situation as well as to create a justification for war against Pakistan. Many Indian army officers were caught and Indian Police was forced to work deeper into finding more BJP, Bajrang Dal and RSS terrorists in Indian military and Intelligence setup. This story had created a serious panic in Indian military and their Fascist patrons in Hindu Zionists. Something had to be done to divert the attention of the world and Indian public from acts of terrorism by Hindu Hardliners. …..Then comes the Mumbai Massacre.

Clear?

All the facts above prove the involvement of Pakistan wrong. On the other hand, the Indian Govt. has not managed yet to provide tangible proofs.

On a friendly note, I request my Indian friends an open-eyes research and not to believe everything that media says. Pakistan is always with India to fight against terrorism.
Terrorism is a global issue and Pakistan-India are suffering it. India should deal with her internal terrorism menaces as Pakistan is doing so.
