Islamic index launched in Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE)

Bombay Stock Exchange has launched Islamic index. Main objective is to provide a suitable environment for Muslims who are hesitant of using normal stock exchange activities due to certain religious concerns. These concerns are related to nature of company where investment is going to take place. Also interest based activities are strictly prohibited in Islamic Sharia.

It is very positive and should be appreciated that in economic filed, Indian business community have acted professionally without any religious bias.

Surprisingly, i became a little bit disturbed by reading this news. The reason was that we got a separate country by chanting slogans of Islam and now we are without any Islamic ideology. Instantly i Googled for any clue of Islamic index in Pakistani stock exchanges. And i found that The Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) and Al-Meezan Investment Management Limited (Al Meezan Investments) launched the Pakistan’s first co-branded Islamic Index, KSE-Meezan Index (KMI).

To bridge the gaps among religious and less religious classes in Pakistan, Government and private sectors should try to come close by such steps in every filed of life.

No wikileaks about Israel, Really?

I have heard many people saying that unlike many other countries there are no wikileaks about Israel. And with same mind most of people declare the wikileaks as a conspiracy by US Govt itself. Am so sick of these conspiracy theories. ): Even one of leading columnist in his recent column mentioned the same point and at the end declared the leaks as conspiracy of US Govt to develop a new strategy of diplomacy around the world.

I think such issues are not so simple as people give authoritative view on same. If you discuss this issue with people around you (as Pakistani folk is eager to discuss such topics) or read columns/articles in newspapers you may get a funny vision that Obama administration and Pentagon high ups are sitting together and approve the plan to reveal truth about their spy type diplomacy in form of wikileaks. It is ridiculous to think so.

Back to main point, today i have captured a snap on Google.com with results of term "wikileaks Israel". Google is showing lot of results on web and in news. So leaks are there about Israel also and these are serious. So there is no reality to say that there are no wikileaks about Israel.

You can try it yourself.

Year 2011 calender would be same as year 2005

Regarding the coming year of 2011, it is interesting to note that 2011 would match  2005. Days and dates would follow same combination as in 2005. This means vacations and other yearly events would follow same days. So if you have 2005 calender with you then  no need to buy a new one for 2011.

Emotions have foot

اشفاق احمد نے اپنی ایک کتاب میں لکھا ہے کہ
زندگی میں کوئی خوشی، کوئی جذبہ کبی مستقل نہیں ہوتا.
 ان کے بھی پاؤں ہوتے ہیں.
 ہمارا سلوک اور رویہ دیکھ کر کبھی یہ بھاگ کر قریب آ جاتے ہیں،
 اور کبھی آہستہ آہستہ دور چلے جاتے ہیں
