Shafqat Tanvir Mirza (STM) gave many sacrifices for the love of the Punjabi language but never made public his sacrifices and consistently struggled for his cause against heavy odds. I had the opportunity and the privilege to know and work with Shafqat Tanvir Mirza. He was a mentor and a friend, always available and supportive. Besides his intellectual guidance, I will never forget his kindness and supportive spirit. I feel very proud to have been a part of his struggle. #AskRamzan via Comments: Want to know anything related to Punjabi language or literature? Wan

Game of Thrones: 11 Burning Questions About White Walkers, Dragons, and More

Image
Did you catch all the new info flying fast and furious? This post contains frank discussion of Season 7, Episode 6 “Beyond the Wall.” If you’re not caught up or don’t want to be spoiled, now would be the time to leave. Seriously, I won’t warn you again. Skedaddle. This episode was packed with a lot of action but also, surprisingly, a lot of new rules of the  Game of Thrones  universe. These rules—specifically as they pertain to White Walkers—will be vital in understanding the war to come in Season 8, so make sure you caught it all. How Do Those Flaming Swords Work and Why Doesn’t Everyone Have One?  In the books Thoros of Myr lights his sword with wildfire while Beric uses his own blood (and some magic) to light the flame. That’s how the show version of the character seemed to do it when he  fought the Hound back in Season 3 . There was a whole ritual and everything. So that explains why they were so rare back then. But now they just seem to turn on whenever Thor

There was a Breaking news last night on a local telivision that Earthquake of approx. 8 magnitude hit Tonga and it was under sea and Tsunami warnings were broadcasted, the news itself was very terrifying even being quite far from the quake site. You can click on images to enlarge So last night and I searched for its details and came across some wonderful & beautiful picture's of something very dangerous and fierce in reality; nature seems aesthetically pleasing even in its most terrifying & angry times. I feel very much interested in the insights of such universal phenomenon's, such as global warming, space, planet earth, and even if its a lost civilization discovered under the oceans and bla bla bla... In all these there are prominent signs for the believer's; there is some One who is really managing everything, mankind has been searching for all the answers to the how's and when's from the very begining and the pursuit continues till this day.

It Happens only in Pakistan....

Welcome to Pakistan :) You will wait... let the VIP pass , all that Black-Bullet-Proof shine with sunroof's and the motorcade aaah!! what a wonderful site. Is it a security concern, or a power show-off? Traffic remains hampered daily due to the VIP movement. Motorists are stopped on the barriers on the route of the VIPs at least for 30 to 40 minutes. I got late for the meeting today - due to the same reason, they completely separated Lahore for 30mins. No body could cross from one side of lahore to the other as nobody was allowed even near the middle artery of Lahore; The Mall Road. They simply do not care, there are routines people follow: children need to go to and from school, people go to work, old people may need to get from one place to the other and many of us, for various reasons, may be on our way to hospital. We might also be working within certain deadlines: somebody might have to get a document attested in order to file it the ne
