Following up from my previous post about sending Free SMS to Pakistan from the Internet, today a colleague shared a link from propakistani.pk over email. Apparently, as long as you worship …
Pakistan: No change without spare changeAs I landed in my home country somewhere around the end of 2009 after a few years, I had not realized that this was not the same Pakistan I had left only a few years ago. Friends poked fun at me, and nowadays the ones who return after a similar gap share the same observations I had been making then - that Pakistan has changed, …
Response to: http://goo.gl/LU5xO (blog post) via@jhaque_ (on Twitter) "Evolution is a scam by evil scientists out to disprove Creation? Hardly. Its time to grow up and update our worldview." Couldn't have responded better myself. If you believe, you can't question the existence of God and his disciples, but everything else, you can - only to understand more. The classic …
There's a reason why they call it 'mother tongue'. A mother is not just a person or just a relative. A mother is an institution, and for me, she is an inspiration. So here I'd like to share some random things that make my mother a superwoman... When her youngest daughter was born, the nurse congratulated me on becoming an uncle. I corrected her and she stared at me and my …
It's been a while since I've written anything on my blog. It blows. Simple reason: need to update the template, remove the link to "Photobook", and also add/remove some social elements here. I'm working for a social media company now and it's high time I fix all this. I started with my twitter account @nubeals - unfollowed almost 500 people who weren't even active (and spoilt …

National University of Singapore retained it's position in the world rankings this time around - great news for the university and its students!Harvard is #1 as usual, while my favourite, Princeton, is still at #8. Australian National University is at #17 now and even McGill is doing decently, at #18. Brown, an ivy league, is now below NUS (at #31)!The major challenger of NUS …
No more "oh, miscommunication and lack of communication are the only reasons for problems between people" (something I say rather often, in arguments). I give up.From now on I will just shut up and never try to resolve conflicts or misunderstandings between people. This is a cut-throat world and seeing things from different perspectives is considered a sign of weakness. Go …
Had my first surprise birthday party last night. It was a mini one; simple yet elegant. And very surprising indeed. Coordinated by my oldest friend's younger sister, I'm glad about the people who did show up. They would pretty much make my close friends' list, with some major inclusions, of course.I turned 26, which I think is the official age when a person can not be …
Dolores (Notre-Dame des Sept Douleurs) by Algernon Charles Swinburne Cold eyelids that hide like a jewel Hard eyes that grow soft for an hour; The heavy white limbs, and the cruel Red mouth like a venomous flower; When these are gone by with their glories, What shall rest of thee then, what remain, O mystic and sombre Dolores, Our …
It has been MONTHS since I've been searching for a reliable way to send 'SMS messages' (Short Message Service) to Pakistan. On a side-note, I think "SMS Message" is a case of RAS Syndrome (or Redundant Acronym Syndrome Syndrome) - it's not perfectly clear if it is, though. There was a time somewhere around 2007 when any Internet user could send …
http://www.macworld.com/article/141565/2009/07/facebook.html Is Facebook past its prime? | by Hillary Rhodes, PC World To add my two cents, I use Facebook primarily for the hot debates (politics/religion) when friends post articles (I'm Pakistani, so you can imagine there is loads to debate about). And secondly, it IS a good tool to stay in touch with friends and …
What a ridiculous point of view! Eat in your own car? The majority doesn't have cars in Singapore. That sounds like the sort of thing a spoilt brat would say, who doesn't understand reality. (You know the type - they were born with silver spoons in their mouths, they went to the best schools and everywhere they went, the doors opened up for them. They never …
