For all of you who might be wondering where I am, I am on a break from life. I understand I have not written anything on any issue in a very long time now. I hope I would be able to return and start over again.
Things have been so pressing that I really have found no time to write or speak out my mind. Too engaged in ‘fire-fighting’ with my own problems I guess.
I’d just request all of you to pray for me. I really need them.
Iltimaas-e-Dua!

PCB opens fire!

In short, breaking news we have is that the PCB has axed Muhammad Yousuf and Younis Khan from all forms of international cricket while not explictly calling it a ban. Shoaib Malik and Rana Naveed-ul-Hasan have also been banned for one year each while heavy fines have been imposed on Shahid Afridi, Kamran Akmal and Umar Akmal.
This has to be by far the biggest shake-up of the Pakistan cricket team in recent history. A Cricinfo.com report follows: (more…)

‘Meet the Product’ they called it and had invited several bloggers from Karachi. It was to be the launch of EasyPaisa ‘Mobile Account’, a service that brings the convenience of mobile banking to the household. It enables users to Pay Utility Bills, Transfer Money, Check Account Balance and View Mini-Statement. Let me share an event timeline and how it unfolded yesterday:
7:10 PM – Recitation of the holy quran by Mr. Omair Ahmed
7:15 PM – Telenor Manager Corporate Communication, Mr. Affan Haider, starts his talk about the EasyPaisa Idea and its potential. He highlighted that EasyPaisa had processed more than 420,000 bill payment transactions and 120,000 Money transfer transactions. By far the highest number of bills payed on an electronic channel. He also spoke about the contribution of the telecom industry to Pakistans growth and how Easy Paisa is actually making a contribution to Pakistans economy.

The biggest terrorist network of the world – the United States, Britain, Israel, India and the likes – has been tracing the shadow of Osama Bin Laden for more than a decade now. Yesterday’s arrest of US run Jundullah leader, Abdolmalek Al-Rigi, is a testimony of the growing strength of Iran and the professionalism of its security agencies.
He was arrested while he was on-board a plane flying from the United Arab Emirates to Kyrgyzstan, apparently carrying a forged Afghan passport.
