Advani in the town    This is the most shameful day in the history of this country. It is bad to the level of being obnoxious. It is the day when someone who has been implicated in plotting an assassination attempt on the very founder of this country is welcomed with wide open arms. What is more shameful is the fact that it is not any civilian government that is doing this foolish act of debasing our ideology but quite expectantly the military government. The very pillar of a nation that is supposed to protect it from all the enemies is letting an enemy onto its side. My eyes could not witness this shame over our national television network. I cannot bear this anymore. How far further are we planning to go with this peace banner in our hands and their foot in our ass!

Do I need to show these Abu Ghraib pictures to you? Hat tip Shahzad

Quran.    I consider it a shame for me that I was not able to write this protest with more conviction than I need to. We as Muslims have failed to deliver to our pledge. The time is asking of us that we defend not only ourselves but also uphold the flag of our religion. I, therefore, protest the desecration of the Holy book by the mindless and stupid soldiers. They obviously have been brought up and trained in circumstances that teach them no respect for humanity and mankind. They deserve to be punished in most brutal way possible.

SMS Spam.    I haven't seen this happening in my country as yet but the threat is real. Considering the rate at which the cost of messaging on mobile networks is going down day by day we might see the advent of SMS spamming over our mobile networks. The entity is not all that non existent even at these rates. I receive on average one forwarded SMS every day that has an unnecessary joke or a thing or two like that. Doesn't annoy me at this rate but I wonder my angst if this were to increase. Since Telenor has provided free SMS facility to its customers during summers this could provoke commercial geniuses into channeling their advertising efforts on the SMS. This would become a problem for both the customer and the vendor of the service. We being customers don not want our privacies to be encroached in this shoudy manner and the vendor doesn't want to over crowd its network with spam messages going berserk. It is safe, thus, for both customer and vendor to keep th...

Killer Train    This time around the train I took to reach my university had more to offer than any other train could. We helped a soul on our way in reaching its absolute destination. We crushed a human being into several pieces while on our way to Karachi. Most probably he didn't want to live any longer than he had already had.    As one of the travellers joked afterwards that he should have died in front of a truck or a bus. This way his family could have got some money in return. People have no soul. Such like have committed moral suicides much earlier in their lives!
