Khoobsoorat Hone Ka Ehsas - A Sher

Uske khoobsorat hone ka ehsas tabh hua, Jabh ek din samandar kinarey chand ko dekhna hua, Yun tou bazahir maine chand ko ghoora, faqat qalb hi jaanay us mai deedar-e-rukhsaar tera hua.

Kids and Soft Porn

Want to know something? Last week someone actually asked me if I watched porn. My reaction to her question was a big what the fuck? NO! It is not unusual for people to watch porn these days. People don't even take in to account if their religion prohibits them from doing something. Like this girl, that asked me this question, did not take in to account the fact that she is a Muslim and she should not be indulging in so called sin. My second reaction was, oh my god, but she is a Pakistani! How can she watch porn? Then it hit me, since when has nationality stopped anyone from doing anything. People do much worse things in Pakistan, than watching porn and it has been happening from ages. Difference is people don't talk openly about it. Guys might whisper to their friends, girls -those that do watch- might watch it in secret and never let it be known to anyone else. So why was I so shocked here? Even though her asking me that question, I felt was a bizarre thing to do; it did get...

Not Photogenic or Photogenic Enough?

So not all of us are blessed with those good looks. You know those killer eyes, that flawless complexion, that cute expression? Even in a badly taken photograph, the person comes out looking cute or even scary cute. They are cute none the less. Some of us, look alien or even ugly. Some of us are unrecognisable in our photos. We look so different from how we are in real life. People keep saying to us, oh but you look much better in real life! Then there are some people who are not so good looking, but their photos come out really good!! That’s what is called when you say someone is photogenic. Their face is made for camera. They have that look and their eyes say a story. Most of us, have trouble with photographs. There have been cases where people have developed a phobia of cameras and/or their photos being taken, because they don’t like the way their photos turn out. They hesitate when someone tells them that they are going to upload their photo on to Facebook. They develop mental is...

Email Mishap

So can I create a stereotype right now, if it doesn't already exist? Girls don't know how to email! Well okay, before all the girls jump on me for this one, I am going to reiterate and say, some girls it seems don't know how to email still. This is a bit surprising since it is 2011 and the 21st century! A lot of illiterate people worldwide who are college or high school drop-outs, or never went to school also know how to email. People in third world countries know how to operate a mobile phone and many have more than one. Yet people can't seem to learn how to email. It is very important to know the basics of Emailing. You are going to use the Email feature in your daily private lives and also for work, for school, for other reasons. It is essential you know how to properly send an email to someone!! Today around 5 PM, I check my email and see an email from some Zeba. I wonder to myself, I have never ever heard of any Zeba Mughal. She's certainly no friend. I won...

Homosexuality and Being Transgender in Pakistan

Recently the US Embassy in Islamabad sponsored a gay rights meeting, which drew in a lot of extreme negative response. It angered a lot of people in Pakistan, which includes religious groups. People voiced their anger and said that what the US Embassy did was promote cultural terrorism. The meeting, according to the religious group Jamat-e-Islami promotes something as dangerous, as the infamous drone attacks done by the US.     The meeting was supposed to promote the rights of lesbians, gays, transgender and bisexual individuals in Pakistan, according to the Embassy officials. The activists against this meeting called lesbians, gays, transgender and bisexual individuals the ‘garbage’ of the society. Furthermore, it was said that these kinds of individuals are not supposed to be called either Pakistani or Muslim. They don’t deserve to be either. Surely such people forget that being a Pakistani or a Muslim has nothing to do with how such people are born with it.  All of...

How to Open .OLD file(s) of Blackberry Chat History on the Computer

I noticed something, my Blackberry was only saving the chat history for about a month. Each new month, the previous month's day's chat history would be getting wiped, as the new month's day's history was written. I was a bit concerned. I opened the BB MicroSD card on the computer to access the history files. I noticed that apart from all the other contacts, this particular contact that I BBM a lot, had two files. One .CSV file and one .OLD file. I got investigating on Google, researching about what does the .OLD file actually means. I found that it is the old chat history and .CSV file is the current chat history being written. Then I read that one .CSV file can only be of 147 KB and as soon as that file reaches that size, it gets converted to a .OLD file and a new .CSV file is created. When the new .CSV file reaches 147 KB, the previous .OLD file will be deleted and the .CSV file will become an .OLD file and a new .CSV chat history file will be created. This cycle...
