Reset your priorities

Following piece of advice in the form of this short story, i read just couple of minutes ago. It was in my mail box for few days. After finishing my work tonight, i opened previous mails (which i declared as unimportant and leisure). This short story stunned my mind. A beautiful way of expressing very important fact of our lives. If understood and implemented, It could change the whole scenario of life.




Professor stood before his Philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was.

His manager looked at him, smiled and asked him to sit down saying: "My friend you have not worked here for even a single day."

Think!

Axis of Pakistan policy, ideology or interests?

Foreign policies now a days are based on interests of country. Europe is best example where historical rivals have been united as close friends.
In case of Pakistan, it looks obvious that foreign policy of Pakistan is more based on ideology than national interests.

Today is the best day of my life

"Today is the best day of my life", this phrase should be the first thinking and feeling every day we wake up. There are too many reasons for it. Fresh air that you feel and breath, soft voice of your parents/children, opportunity to make better many tasks that were pending, a new day to read your favorite book or to visit web, a new chance to follow right path ordered by Allah almighty and your chances to have new challenges.
All these things motivate and tend you to claim that "Today is the best day of my life". And believe it that a day with this phrase would actually turn to a best day of your live.

Suddenly a brand new Porsche screeches to a halt.

Interview with a doctor

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways. Most of doctors prohibit their patients from various type of foods but here is an interesting interview with a doctor, who have different opinion. I hope medical license of such doctor is going to be canceled at any moment

Progress on Thar coal reservoirs utilization

It was in 1992 that the Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) discovered huge sub-surface deposits of coal--the largest in the world--in Thar District (Sindh). As the news spread globally, a number of foreign investors showed interest in the exploitation of Thar coal resources for powe generation. No concrete proposal was however received.
In response to the Energy Policy 1994 Consolidated Electric Power Asia Ltd of Hong Kong signed an memorandum of understanding (MoU) for developing a 1,425 mw capacity integrated power project based on Thar coal. But it did not materialize.

Thar coal reservoirs utilization dilema

We have much debate around us about Thar coal reserves. And mostly the view point is that "Thar can change the fate of the country if utilized in a proper way. It can save oil import bill, reduce unemployment and help strengthen economy, rupee and FOREX stocks".

Dr Murtaza Mughal president of Pakistan Economy Watch in a statement said that 185 billion tunes of coal worth USD 25 trillion can not only cater the electricity requirements of the country for next 100 years but also save almost four billion dollars in staggering oil import bill.

Live today

Majority of people around us either live in past or in future. Means that they always think about their past life or keep dreaming about future. They never note the bounties of Allah almighty that are present in their today life. Hence they have no sense of satisfaction and enjoyment. Every morning is full of opportunities, chances, bounties and much more. Only thing to do is to live every day, every moment. Else tomorrow never comes. And certainly also past would never come.

Challenge you

I came across an interesting situation when tried this simple task. I put this challenge to my blog readers.

• Sit down on seat
• Lift your right leg
• Start rotating your right foot clock-wise
• Also lift your right arm now
• And start drawing circle in anti clock-wise direction through your right hand
  

The challenge is that you can not rotate the right foot clock-wise and right hand anti clock-wise at the same time. Your foot will automatically change the direction to anti clock-wise. Its amazing and it is a proof that how much man is helpless in case of built-in instincts and restrictions.

Jangal ka dastoor (Zohra nigah)

سنا ہے جنگلوں کا بھی کوئی دستور ہوتا ہے

سنا ہے شیر کا پیٹ جب بھر جایے

تو وہ حملہ نہیں کرتا

سنا ہے حب کسی ندی کے پانی میں

بہے کے گھونسلے کا گندمی سایا لرزتا ہے

تو ندی کی روپہلی مچھلیاں اس کو

پڑوسی ماں لیتی ہیں

ہوا کے تیز جھونکے جب درختوں کو ہلاتے ہیں

تو مینا اپنے گھر کو بھول کر

کوے کے انڈوں کو پروں میں تھام لیتی ہے

سنا ہے ، گھونسلے سے جب کوئی بچا گرے تو

سارا جنگل جاگ جاتا ہے

ندی میں بڑھ آ جاہے

کوئی پل ٹوٹ جاہے

تو کسی لکڑی کے تختے پر '

گلہری سانپ چیتا اور بکری
ساتھ ہوتے ہیں

سنا ہے جنگل کا بھی کوئی دستور ہوتا ہے

خداوند ! جلیل و موہتبر ، دانا و بینا ، منصف و اکبر

ہمارے شہر میں اب

جنگلوں کا ہی کوئی دستور نافذ کر

A prayer carpet with glowing fibers

Its sounds so good when i hear some use of technology for any religious purpose. Recently i read about such an invention of a Turkish citizen OzencSoner. Normally Muslims use a cloth on which they offer their prayers. And while offering prayer one has to face holy Kaaba. Deriving exact angle to holy Kaaba is important to consider and it is payed attention. OzencSoner prepared a player cloth which is composed of glowing fibers. And fibers and enlightened when facing holy Kaaba exactly.

Utilizing Thar Coal Reserves

I have heard many people claiming about very huge reservoirs of coal in thar and the rumors that foreign elements are involved in to keep Pakistan away from utilizing these reserves. Keeping in view the very mean and cruel policies of big energy players all over the world it may be expected that just for their own thriving they may play with future of Pakistan through its ruler class. I got following email from one of my friends. If some part of following email is true even then it is a great issue and needs attention.

Get registration information about your SIM in Pakistan

Govt of Pakistan is having much emphasis on valid registration of your (Subscriber information Module)SIM. It means that your SIM should be issued on your own name. Due to negligence of customer itself and also on part of franchises, many people do not have SIM registered to their own name. This may lead to trouble.

YOUR CURRENT SIM STATUS

To check that whether the SIM that you are using is registered on your name or not, send SSMS with text MNP in it to 667. A reply SSMS will be received by you with registration information about your SIM. 

ALL SIMS AGAINST YOUR CNIC

To get the number and names of companies whose SIMS are issued on your CNIC, just send your CNIC on 668. Reply SMS would contain the information about number and companies of SIMs that are issued against your CNIC. 

Then What to do?

This facility is for all GSM networks in Pakistan like UFone, Warid, Telenor, Mobilink. Charges deducted for this information will be about Rs. 2 (charges may vary by time to time). In case if you find that some irrelevant SIMs are registered against your CNIC then visit to corporate office of related company and solve the issue. Avoid visiting franchises as they are not able to help in all cases.

BAN GEO TV

Some days back i got following text in email. At a glance it looked me product of zeleous thinking but as i read, it appealed and its logical. Its debatable issue

• I think you are not aware of GEO...its being funded by USA govt and India.......just think what Jew /Indian/ American lobby want ……… the basic idea is to promote frustration, and despondence in a nation, so they start to demoralize and the future can be mapped as they want to project it in the minds of 50 percent illiterate population.. ..that are born Muslim, can't read, but can see.

Lion illussion

I got an interesting two snap story mailed by my friend in Kuwait.
Technicians at Shuwaikh (Kuwait) car repair shops were having a normal day at work, when suddenly a nervous looking LION came out of no where...seemingly hungry because of how skinny his body looks



Workers freaked out, jumping over each other, some locking themselves up in cars, some in the offices, and some just ran away...but one brave guy took the picture of this Lion without making a sound....and there was the SHOCK when the Lion turned around...
nobody could believe it



Turns out it's their Pakistani co-worker's dog. He shaved the dog in such a way to look like a Lion.
