"We don't know how long or short it's going to be, whether we'll live to 91 or 21. But it's what we do with it really matters."

It is to tell all my readers that i have been recently interviewed the Pak Spectator team and my interview is published on their website. A little excerpt from the interview is
'Could you tell us what made you decide to blog, and what was the inspiration behind it?
I was introduced to blogging back in ‘04/’05 when i was an avid reader of the local Spider technology magazine, which led me to the pages of Dr Awab, which was at that time teethmaestro.blogspot.com, G3technews,g3technews.blogspot.com, and Saj Shirazi,http://sajshirazi.blogspot.com/. These 3 personalities were my inspiration to blog.'
'What's the first thing you notice about a person (whether you know them or not)?
I straight-forward look onto his face and get to know whether he is friendly mood or not? and if not then i quit.'
'What do you think where the Pakistani blogosphere is right now?
I think Pakistani blogosphere is of very high caliber.Their command over english language is very good and the ideas are expressed very impressively. The designs are also good. They can compete with blogs from any part of the world.'
'Any Message you want to give to the readers of The Pakistani Spectator?
I will recommend all the readers of The Pakistani Spectator to always try and project the true colors of our religion, culture and civilization which include honesty, humbleness, respect, honor, unity and many others to the outer world and dispel what is spread in media against Pakistan these days.'

There is ongoing load shedding of about 14-18 hrs daily and I wonder if the clocks were not moved one hour ahead, then we would have been facing 24 hrs load shedding daily and in that case the electricity production of a nuclear country would have been zero.How funny!
I plea to the authorities that either to show the people the real benefits of moving the clock ahead or to relieve the people,esp. the uneducated ones, of this confusion of New Time or Old Time.
I also want to explain here that the clocks are moved ahead in only those northern countries in which the sun only shines for 4-5 hrs during certain period of the year.So they wake up early in the morning and finish all of their work in sunlight.Contrary to this, the sun shines in Pakistan for almost 10-14 hrs round the year, so logically there is no use of moving the clock ahead.

Almost everyone is aware of the ongoing situation in the north of our country, especially Swat valley. Due to the pertaining conditions, almost 10 lakh people have fled to take refuge in camps where there are no facilities such as food, water, clothes, health, shelter etc.
I request, all of the telecom operators such as
Ufone --------- Tum hi to Ho!
Mobilink --------- Aur Sunao!
Zong --------- Sub Keh Do!
Telenor --------- It’s Fun to be Young!
Warid --------- Life Ka Network!
to keep up to their slogans and to provide good packages to peoples as you do in your competitive markets. You provide entertainment at different occasions such Eids, New Year by arranging different stage shows, dramas etc but this time it’s the real suffering people who need your help!
(An email which I sent to all mobile networks).

Please take my NIC Photostat back, Mr. Photocopier!
1 comments Posted by Ahsan Ahmed Zia at 11:20 PMThese were the words of a young man, who was in his late 20’s and from overall look he appeared to be from far flung area of NWFP, while he was standing at a stationary shop beside me in Peshawar Saddar. The shop owner grimaced at him and asked why? He said, “Sorry Sir, it’s late in Saturday evening and I forgot that the office of my mobile network provider will be closed at this time. What will I do with this Photostat as it is useless for me till Monday?”
The shop owner and I exchanged smiles with each other, when we heard these words from that ignorant young fellow. He was then explained that never to give your NIC to someone as there are a lot of scams occurring on the basis of NIC’s and one should always write on top of the Photostat that this copy is for this purpose only. For example, that this NIC copy is for PTCL connection only.
He was completely mesmerized when he left the shop.
