Beauty amid the Anger of Nature

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. Where all th

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

March of the INNOCENT (Shareef)

Yet they have called for another strike today, and still the LonG MarCH is yet to come... aarrgh !!! They are fighting for Democracy, restoration of a supreme order - but hey, I can't have my breakfast now :( the store in the Lower Ground of my office building "Cash & Carry" and all markets are closed.. Damn it!! That's all that matter's to me or the public in general, they cant go for shopping, even travelling they are scared that their car might be burnt up or thrashed by the people who claim to be fighting for JUSTICE.. yeah justice it is, thrashing up the sweet car of a 50year old man who had recently bought the car after 30years of employment - They surely are teaching a lesson to the corrupt people huh!! Pakistan is already dead in terms of economic or political conditions, we are in a power crises, we are labelled as a terrorist breeding farm and we let our guests die right on the road's we have other better things to take care of such as the se

FOR ALL THE RAVIAN'Z There are two kinds of people around you. One who wait for things to happen and one who make things happen. This year, during the second Pak India Inter-Collegiate Drama Festival, March 3-9, 2008 at Government College University (GCU), Lahore, I met an ample number of the second kind and feel extremely proud to have been a part of this convergence of budding performers. Why I feel that this endeavor was a coming together of people who make things happen is because the annual theatre festival, that is witnessing its second anniversary this year, is a commendable initiative on part of GC Dramatics Club. Dr. Farhan, incharge GCUDC as well as convener of the fiesta, and his young guns are a shining example of those having the courage to visualize new milestones. The bi-national level event being yet in its nascent stage, there was a general buzz regarding its inception. Also, on this one particularly beautiful night in the GC campus during a TV talk show, Ek Au
