Me and Wasim Akram!

Well guys yesterday was pretty much an amazing day for me. It all started when i left Karachi Shipyard round about about 2:30 with my friend Sanjeev (we both doing iternship there). Actually i had to attend a meeting of IEE at Avari Towers with my friend Whiz who is doing internship at State Bank these days. So i left Sanjeev in the bus and went into State Bank to meet Whiz. It was an amazing atmosphere there. The IT department is superb. I met some of my university fellows there. Whiz took me to their server room ..it was amazing...i saw the server room of that scale first time in my life. That network was connecting all the branches of State Bank within Pakistan. Ok..enough of this..then me and Whiz went to Avari Towers for our meeting. Whiz went to the hall. Our Karachi head told me to accompany our meeting guest. I went to the main entrance and found the Vice Chancellor of our University Engr. Abul Kalam. I took him downstairs to the meeting hall. But some of the people in the meeting were late because of the traffic jam in the city. So the meeting had to be delayed. I went back to the Avari Hotel reception to confirm that any guest that come there should be directed to the Wood Pecker lounge where our meeting is taking place. Ok as soon as i did that...my eyes suddenly moved to the entrance and i saw Pakistan's Cricketing Legend Wasim Akram. I couldnt believe at the first instant that it was wasim but i said to myself .."yeah man its wasim" the cricketer who has done so much for your country is right before you....Ok i decided i will talk to him...I went forward and shook hands with him. He was probably coming from Tennis Court. I requested if i can take a picture of him. He said "Yes". I asked him whether he will come on ESPN or not and he said "haan aaonga". He and I went inside the hotel and there i gave my cell phone to the reception guy . I told him to take the pic and he took it. Too bad the pic was a blurred one ...he was a bit far and he also moved the camera while the pic was being taken.but i was too much delighted to meet Wasim..Ok there was no time for the second one. So i said Wasim "thanks!" and left. The pic is still in my cell and will transfer the pic on my computer when i will get the device. So after that i went to attend the meeting...and after 15-30 mins..there came the snack time...there were Kabab's , Chicken & Cheese sandwiches, Samosas, Pastris and other snack stuff. Actually it was IEE who was financing it so we the meeting guys ate them like nuts :P ....Hmm..after another hour the meeting finished. Me and Whiz and some other mates of our university went to see the Tennis Court incase if we can meet Wasim again but lightining never strikes twice at the same place...so all of us left Avari to our houses. It was indeed a pleasant day . I came back home on Whiz's car which needed some water on the way back but all in all it was a one fine day! :)

Pakistan And Kalabagh Dam?

The only country you will find "some" people rioting against a Dam is Pakistan. Let me tell you the whole scenario. Pakistan's province Sindh is an urgent need of a dam so that the water obtained due to rain doesnt get wasted and can be used for a longer period time. Punjab is the province through which the water reaches to Sindh. So if excess rain takes place in Punjab, they have to open the gates of their dams so Sindh gets excess water which gets wasted. In sindh, rain doesnt take place so much whereas in Punjab it is the exact opposite of it. So the need of a dam arises for Sindh. Unfortunately when rain doesnt take place in Pakistan, Punjab sometimes dont give the due amount of water to Sindh due to which Sindh suffers...this is all due to personal gains of people because some stupid feudals have forgotten that its their country which comes first not their personal lives.

Now some uneducated people of Pakistan who dont know the immense importance of Dam are joining hands to stop the government from building the dam. Reasons, well there are many. firstly every party not in power wants their emphasis over the poor uneducated people. If the govenrment builds a dam which will help change those people lives because their bread and butter depends on agriculture will obviously increase the support for the government and those parties will lose their vote in those areas. Secondly, there are many parties who have not done anything for their own people but rather they take vote by buying the people or luring them. Most of the people in Sindh are uneducated and poor so they cannot differentiate b/w right and wrong so they can easily be led astray. So their magic spells will be useless if the dam gets shaped up. Thirdly they (protesters) claim that Punjab will store more water and will give less to Sindh if the dam is made. Now my reply to those suckers is that dammit for once think for the long run..if the dam is not built than Sindh will be a desert till 2010 ...forget your past enemities with Punjabis....its not the time to remember those...Punjabis are nothing by themselves neither Sindhis...Its because of Pakistan thats they both are present and by not building the dam Sindhis are not suffering (yeah they do) but its Pakistan who is suffering.

Yeah i even heard on the radio one @$$h*le protesting leader saying "If Kalabagh Dam is made , Pakistan will be broken like 1971"

Within myself i thought " If i found you , i will split your ________ into pieces"

God save Pakistan. Amen

Our Political Leaders!

Abraham Lincoln once stated a doctrine for successful democracy and leadership ...

"To the people, for the people, by the people"

In Pakistan, the doctrine of successful leaders is:

"Throw the people, far from the people, buy the people"

And that is a fact!. I have seen and read Pakistan's politics to confirm it today what my teacher said.

VLSI -> Yes or No!

VLSI is Very Large Scale Integration and is one of the three optional courses we will have to choose from in the Final Year (other two are Artifical Intelligence and Internet Computing). It is basically related to ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit). ASIC are IC's which perform particular operation and they have all the logic stored in them. This logic can be produced by two ways. Firstly by using Verilog and secondly by VHDL (obsolete). Programming in Verilog according to my final year seniors is an art to learn and intriguing to perform. VLSI is basically related to hardware type computer engineers who wants to work and play with IC's.You can develop any sort of IC's by developing your own logic and implementing it through Verilog. GSM technology can also be implemented through it so just giving an indication that IC's made using Verilog can be used in communications.

But i am kinda confused...the teacher who teaches VLSI is not satisfactory one according to my seniors....So whether I should take the course or not..i am in dillema regarding VLSI...it all depends on the time that is ticking slowly and slowly ....however i am also thinking about the other two courses as well Artificial intelligence (related to Process models and Robotics) and Internet computing (network security). Which one to choose?..its a tough time for all my university fellows...

Internship starts!

Well my university got some winter- internship offers and they sent me to Karachi Shipyard. Its at hour long drive from my house. First day, i dressed formally...went to take the bus...my friend Sanjeev was waiting for me at a point at least 25 mins away from my house...i was late in getting up so i messaged by friend you take off for the shipyard..i will join you ..[my friend also got the internship at Shipyard]. So i took the bus ...saw some never seen before industries on my way KESC, Mercedes Benz, Dockyard and many others. I was an hour after my friend reached there. At first i was wrongfully sent to the wrong location in Shipyard. There they told me to teach the students some Mechanical engineers stuff which made me shocked. I told them thats a mechanical engg. stuff ..i cant teach that and i thought within myself [i am here to learn...not to teach anyone..grrr]...I saw the letter that university gave me again and i saw the cheif name whom i had to meet and that made me realized i was at wrong place inside Karachi Shipyard. So i took the letter and fled away from there. I then searched for the cheif whose name was Sabir and eventually i found his office and infront of his office i found my friend Sanjeev who was waiting for me as well. He was there for at least 2 hours. We then together waited to see Mr. Sabir but he was busy in meeting. We waited and waited and together we waited at least 2 hours more and then we met ....wait wait we dint meet Mr. Sabir but we met Mr. Jabir...lol..dont think they are brothers...maybe they are..but me and sanjoo were totally shocked to see their names..Sabir and Jabir. Mr. Jabir is from a Top Brass from Navy. I will discuss his interview after some days...;) dont worry it was an exciting one. After a long hour meeting me and my friend went to the Computer House. Karachi Shipyard still maintains its record in files and not electronically i.e still living in historic ages. Most of the computers are old...i saw only some brand new computers.....Well they told me and my friend that there is some networking stuff to be done for which they might need our help and that will start from monday.....let see ...waiting for monday! :)

[My debut] Pakistan Vs England-->Karachi rocks!

Yes...i never watched a match before in the stadium but i made it history by watching the match live at National Stadium Karachi today b/w Pakistan and England. It was one heck of atmosphere guys. Well unfortunately no cameras, cell phone were allowed. So i left my cell at home otherwise i would have taken pictures and would have posted it on blog. Anyways back to the action!. Pakistan batted first and we wanted Afridi first up but it was not to be. All the time Pakistani team batted, we had loads of fun in the stands. I was at Waqar Hasan enclosure...Gee never heard that cricketer name before...anyways...it was fun all the way....I danced, errupted in joy, hit the bottle hard on chairs with the crowd....i dont keep my emotions inside me :D..so i kicked them all out today...the crowd went beserk on every English wicket, Pakistani six and four, we danced,danced and danced all the wayyy. However crowd did support English team as well. The crowd was a modern and educated cricketing one as you can expect in Karachi...being a metropolitan city....

But one thing really made the people of my row and the back row angry. There were two ppl in the row ahead of us who were constantly smoking. One was in his 50's and one was a young guy maybe in 20's..they were regularly smoking and their smoke was ripping our hearts. I was ..like most of the ppl in my row and the back was clearly pissed off by this...i told the guy to stop smoking but he continued. Well as the guy changed his seat we were all very pleased to see him leaving...and it was like "ab waapis nahi ana"....lol...but the uncle continued...and we had to absorb it....:(...

Back to action.....the crowd waited for Afridi's arrival ..and when he came, it was all fun mania...Afridi hit 2 sixes which made the crowd crazy....Well i missed them both..and my friends too....well when we went for prayers akmal and yousuf were playing...and when we came back from prayers afridi got run out...it was so disappointing to see the guy whom we waited so much to see...well i guess it was all luck :)...nothing else...Khair...Razzaq stole the show....he did what afridi would have done ...Hit 3 massive sixes...and took the score to 350

Lunch time , we ate Student's briyani...cost Rs. 50..the quality was not good..back to action....English team disappointed us....they dint bat well and match became one sided. Rana boy bowled superbly again. It was one heck of celebrations when wickets fell...We danced on the song " ay oooo ay oooo ay ooo aaa...aa lay aaa lay ooo" remember which song i am talking about ?..that world cup one sung by Strings.It was great fun guys. I dint meet any of my fellow bloggers there...hehehe thats a long shot because i hardly have seen any ..just know some.....yes we were all so happy and delighted for the Pakistani victory....Thank you Team Pakistan!

SAW

Its the name of the film which i watched yesterday night and its horror 100%...not for light hearted people...I bet if you watch it in night you wont sleep all night....its too much suspense, horror and thrill. The film gives a moral "Life is a gift, dont take it for granted!". If you loved the movie Phonebooth that was made in a phonebooth, you will definitely love this movie as well....its made in a washroom where two men are tied seperately. Actually what the theme is that the killer gets his victims and put them in a tricky situation where they have to save their lives either by taking other's life in process or going through pain and agony through which the victims can get killed too. The killer dont kill anyone yeah..actually the situation is such that the victim gets themselves killed in order to save their lives. I wont tell everything about the movie but i can tell about one victim of the killer.A women's mouth was covered with a trap (shown in the picture) that could blow up after a set time. The key to open the trap was in a stomache of an alive guy who was drowsing that time.Both were locked in a room. Women had only one option, to kill the guy with the knife and to get the key out so that she can open the trap that is fit on her mouth. So she had to kill the guy inorder to save herself. Isnt that creepy :S..its sure is...

i wont tell what happened to two guys that were in washroom tied seperately as the whole movie is sorrounded around them...so you guys better watch out this and make sure kids are kept away because that can go around their minds for a long time :).

Bayern Munchen and Weder Bremen Go through!

Bayern Munich through to the next round of Champions League, but they had to settle for a draw with club brugge 1-1. However Bayern would have won the game had the last second goal had been allowed by the Umpire.




Bayern have a chance to get English teams now. I would love to see all of the English teams go out of Champions League!.

Man United out...yess!...Benfica did a great job. They beat them 2-1. Man Utd are not only out of Champions league but they are out from UEFA cup too.

Bremen beat Panathanaikos 5-1. Infact they burried them. Udinese lost to Barca and that resulted in Bremen going through to next round of CL and Udinese to Uefa cup.

Schalke04 out of Champions League

Ac Milan beat Schalke 04 3-2 and threw the Germans out of the Champions League. I am a German soccer fan with my favourite side Germany and Bayern Munich. I support German League sides in the Champions League. Schalke 04 did really well but they couldnt beat AC Milan who have so many great players in their side.

Bayern Munich will be playing tonight and i will watch the match ..i hope i do..because SKY Sports covers every match but dammit i dont have SKY Sports here..i have Star,ESPN and Super Sports which take coverage from Sky Sports and they only show those English Permier League sides in action....such :@...

What is love at first sight?

I have heard this countless times, true love is the love at first sight, love at first sight is eternal blah blah...but i cant comprehend what is love at first sight ?

Whether it is a guy and girl both staring at each other for the first time? is that love at first sight? Here you dont know why the girl/guy is staring at you. Especially if you dont know a girl/guy. If you are smart, handsome you obviously can think it maybe because of your looks but even then there is a remote chance whether the person who is staring at you might have other things on his/her mind to say to you. But eyes say a lot. So will you go and talk to her/him? If "Yes" than what will you say..how will you start ?. You have to think about it quickly otherwise you may lose that person who is/was staring at you. And if you couldnt talk to her/him than if that was love at first sight than obviously it was not eternal, so the phrase goes wrong there. And these types of things happen a lot, so if you go on asking to the every girl/guy who is staring at you ...you might get unappropiate reply at times....So for those whom the first experience was a bad one might not have the courage to ask another time and might lose the girl/guy of their life, but for those whose first experience was a good one but they realized that was not true love then they might kick this concept out of the window ... So whats the feeling that is developed inside you if you found your true love at first sight ?

But sometimes mostly boys use to stare at every beautiful girl they see and might well drop the girl to her house by just staring and nothing saying to her. Well that is not true love that is....i just think of it as "Cheap". Well in some cases it happens the other way round :D...

Whether it is a meeting of girl and guy somewhere who are complete strangers.....that is love at first sight ? So what do you say guys?...What is love at first sight ?. What type of feeling is generated to let you know you have found your true love at first sight
?

Doom The Movie

I played Wolfenstein 10 years back which was the first game of its type like you have a gun and you can kill anyone that comes in front of you. That game started a new trend which was followed by even more popular game Doom later came in with the versions Doom 2 and now Doom 3. Based on the game, movie Doom was made. Doom movie is one to watch with a good storyline, great action, thrill and suspense as well. You can also see the use of BFG guns in the movie that are available in the game too and is the most dangerous as well.

Pakistan bamboozle England! [Pak 2-0 England]


Pakistan ripped English team apart as they convicingly beat them in the 3rd test match in Lahore to win the three match series 2-0. The playing spirit, confidence and devotion of Pakistani players to win the series not only appreciated by the locals but even Barmy Army [English supporters] also had to applaud the way Pakistani team played. It was looking dark and gloomy in the start of the day for Pakistan when they needed 8 wickets and just 2 sessions were remaining but because of impressive display of fast and spin bowling by two world class bowlers of Pakistan Shoaib and Kaneria respectively dropped england to pitchdarkness after they were being at the zenith by beating Australia.
