- Pakistan Needs Organized Disaster ManagementPakistani Blo... Lately we have been getting too much negative news from Pakistan. Yes it is really disturbing to any person who loves his country and feels the pain for it but don't you think we keep on adding salt to our wounds or let's say keep on making our miseries even more unbearable by creating an environment where everybody is criticizing the others but nobody is coming up with a solution as to how things ought to be done.
Let's take the example of the current floods.
Horrible is the mildest word to describe these super floods I suppose but what are we doing as a nation to fight it? Everybody is really hard at point scoring and quick on to lodge the blame game but hey if this can solve...

Ousted from their homes by the worst flooding in 80 years, most of them are short of basic food items, necessary medicines and protective shelter from persistent monsoon rain. In terms of human and financial losses, according to latest reports, around 1,600 people have died, and around 14 million others have been affected, directly or indirectly.
In the most severely hit areas villages and crops have been totally wiped out, and roads and railway links washed away, leaving no communication between different parts of Pakistan. This flooding, in...

- Not Unoccupied, Just ChillingPakistani Bloggers Guest Posts So, I officially completed my education (for the time being), and got my beautiful degree in my hands. But I had not been able to make any real progress in getting a job.
As a result, for the past few months, every time someone asked me "what are you up to these days?" I'd say "bilkul farigh" "I've got nothing to do" "Kuch nahi kar rahi" (not doing anything.)
Farigh means you're not occupied, you're time isn't occupied. You are "farigh" after you've done whatever needed doing. But you're not suppose to stay farigh, not for very long, anyway. "Staying" farigh has a bit of a negative connotation.
It wasn't really true that I had nothing to do (other than finding a job) and...

- Education in Pakistan: Privilege Not a RightPakistani Blo... So where do we draw the line? How do we set the better apart from the average when it comes to educational excellence? Well a cliche'd method of doing so is judging a student by his academic achievements based on GPA's and grades. Of course this is not really a hidden practice but is applied worldwide, but the question at hand is, is that it? Is this what education has come down to? In Pakistan, these relatively superficial benchmarks are the slow death of constructive education.
An education is not a right but rather a privilege in Pakistan. A dominant lump who are fortunate enough, because of this grade greed, have turned in to herds of sheep ; explicitly residing to just licking...

In India and Iran stem cells are obtained from Umbilical Cord Blood and stored for future use. In our country Umbilical cord is thrown in the waste bin without exception.No doctor has ever mentioned that these Umbilical Cords carrying a rich store of stem cells.
I will request the doctors to please do some research about use of stem cells...

- Pakistan Flood Relief ActivitiesPakistani Bloggers Guest ... It all started on Thursday the 29th of July when horrific scenes of flood devastation flashed across our television screens. Swat was the first casualty. Soon district Shangla and Dir faced the catastrophic waters.
The situation worsened on Friday and through the weekend in the settled districts of Charssada and Nowshera where the devastation is anecdotal. Personal stories of friends and relatives made the reality more glaring. This was time for action.
As of August 10, 2010 almost 14 million people have been directly or indirectly affected by the deadliest of monsoon rains in the country.

Let us start with the basics. You are an asshole. A thief. An alleged murderer. And a scoundrel. And mind-blowingly incompetent to boot.
The only reason you matter is because your equally incompetent, currently delusional, then dysfunctional, mother-in-law thought that you were such a lowly piece of shit that you would never get in the way of your late wife, also delusional, whose dowry included the most popular political party in Pakistan. Why she had such elevated expectations of a two-bit thug is beyond us. But still.

The army in turn views itself as the guarantor of Pakistan's internal and external stability.
Pakistan's political institutions have never had the same vigour, and have been further weakened by this pattern of alternation between military and constitutional rule. In other civil institutions - the civil service and a large network of public and private organizations - were once looked on as pillars of strength, but they too have weakened in the past three decades or so due to mixture of neglect and abuse...
