General You are Tubed!

General You are Tubed! by Adnan Gill Like mortals, political parties also go through life-changing events that can elevate their virtually unheard leaders into the stratosphere of prominence and idolization; similarly, it can throw a crown-bearer of a party into the dark depths of ignominy and oblivion. There was a time when it used to take a war or a catastrophe to bring a leader to fame and recognition, or contempt and disgrace. Now, fame and disgrace lay only a blog or YouTube away. In this day and age of…read more

MQM Fiasco in Karachi

A lot of bytes already wasted online about the thugs who caused mass murder in Karachi on the 12th of May 2007. MQM has its roots in the exploitation of the Karachi public and migrants from India. Sadly Pakistan never welcomes the immigrants from India properly and the likes of Altaf Hussein benefited from the resentment left in the hearts of such communities. What happened in Karachi is very sad and shows how fragmented our society is now in Pakistan. To top it all, the unconditional support of the Federal…read more

Karzai Karzai, What thou Want

Karzai is a Loser, cant he think for a minute on his own, anything Pakistan does is not accepted, he complains that Pakistan is sending Taliban over to cause trouble and now Pakistan tries to counter this issue and see what happens, he is still unhappy, i think if Karzai stopped criticizing Pakistan then he wont have anything to do as a president. The well being of the people of Afghanistan is the last thing that he would like to do. Pakistan fence, land mine plan no solution: Karzai ReutersThursday,…read more

Posted by rubeel in Thoughts

India’s shameBy Arundhati Roy Guardian Online Friday December 15, 2006 Five years ago this week, on December 13 2001, the Indian parliament was in its winter session. The government was under attack for yet another corruption scandal. 11.30 in the morning, five armed men in a white Ambassador car fitted out with an improvised explosive device drove through the gates of Parliament House. When they were challenged, they jumped out of the car and opened fire. In the gun battle that followed, all the attackers were killed. Eight security personnel…read more

Kiran Desai claims Booker title

You gotta give it to the Indian Immigrants who have acheieved these high standards. It is soo hard to find an Ex Pakistani who gets ahead in any field except Terror related. The last guy who actually did something and pakistan got some recognition was Dr Abdus Salam. Although Pakistanis did take some credit but later he was discredited as he was an Ahmadi. So when can we have a major recognition of personnel based on acheievements in Arts and Sciences, well it wont be any time new. The number…read more

Women of Pakistan

Induction of Female fighter Pilots, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Well we couldn’t come up with anything else to empower women in Pakistan but to make 4 of them fighter pilots. I don’t disagree with this action but common this doesn’t do crap for Pakistani women. Islam has always given rights to women, so why don’t we start from allowing them have basic human rights. What do I mean by that you ask? Well stuff like the following 1. Right to live a decent life.2. Right to marry and ask for a divorce at…read more

Well I thought I will document the undeclared, below radar wars going on in the world. These are mostly IT wars and take place constantly online, in forums, sometimes spills out in real life also. 1.

It is also happening online, just visit any community related to shias on Orkut or sunnis, you will find evidence of such battles. 2. West and Muslim WorldThis one is also very clear with…read more

Indian Blasts in Banaras

well the easiest way to implicate pakistan in anything is to have some kind of religious related terrorist act in india and blame it on LET. Well who knows who did that but all eyes are already on pakistan and LET. It is interesting to see that a Leading politician yesterday after the bombing said that it had traits of LET. Lets investigate and then point fingers, rather than instigating the population and start a religious riot (ofcourse india is famous for that) but hey who is looking. All care…read more

So Benazir made an Amazing discovery

She said that the relationship between Pakistan and Afgahnistan are getting worse. I bet you had to be really smart to notice that. Well lemme put it straight If it was Musharraf, Benzair, Nawaz Sharif or Me as the leader of the pakistnai govt right now, my opposition would say the same. Everyone knows what Pakistan’s policy was in afghanistan, who trained and got Taliban into Afghanistan. we will never have good relations with a not friendly afghan govt. it is very visible that the current government is from the…read more
