Killing yourself?

Many teenage and adult groups one will find standing in the corner of the street, near the cigarette shop, in a cafe, near some institution doing nothing other than chatting, bluffing, staring girls and smoking and unfortunately most of them are students who waste their critical times doing nothing. The problem is not get-togethers but a get-together which has no finishing boundary. The prime ingredient of these get-togethers are cigarettes. You will hardly see any group of guys who dont smoke. They keep smoking, chatting, smoking,chatting , smoking..... and they end up gaining nothing. Everyone knows cigarette is injurious to health but still people are there who smoke. So if they dont love themselves how can they love others? If they can't protect themselves how can they protect others. Many teenagers look on the elder groups in the neighbourhoods and start following their styles and make similar groups and inherit same habits. In Pakistan mostly these groups are of boys. These sorta meetings on the corner of the streets, cafe's, apartment basements, shops are diverting our generation astray. Mostly the idea of these sorta meeting is to kill the time.

but these words run into my mind on that response.....

"You are not wasting time....time is wasting you"

Global Warming

Temperature of the world is rising constantly, ice in the north is constantly melting and yet we cannot do anything. Industrialization has no doubt given a lot of boons to mankind but its effect to atmosphere is indirectly effecting the human cycle. Industries are necessary but fresh air and clean water is more than necessary but in today's world its hard to create a balance b/w them. Taking examples of United States which has a large number of industries are the biggest culprit in warming up the world. China is not lagging behind either and same is the case with India. We know that industries are affecting the environment and the temperature in the north is rising, so what can we do...scientists are still researching on it and they will keep on doing it but the question remains unaswered that how to reduce global warming and keep the beings safe from its effects.

Cartoon Controversy and MMA!

MMA claims to be an Islamic Political Party inside Pakistan but there agenda is a different one. They are using religion as a tool to prevail in Pakistan. They are neither following the preachings of Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) nor they are working in favor of Pakistan. Just one example, a women threw thrash on Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) everyday but Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) never said a word to her and when one day women dint come out to perform her same act, Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) found out that she was ill ,went to her house and gave her blessings. He did nothing except forgiving her.

But what the MMA is doing today ???..Now after the cartoon controversy, the acts performed by them on the roads burning other people's car, throwing stones on government buildings...Are they islamic? are they the same acts that would have been performed by Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) ? .MMA claims this and that but these are simple and very obvious examples that their desire is "Power" and for that they are ever-willing to infuse people with the spirit of religion and bring them under their flag.

MMA's response to cartoon controversy : burning car's , destroying governemnt buildings and then a strike which really gives an struggling country like Pakistan a huge setback. Why cant these MMA leaders realize that those who made the cartoon are not suffering any loss, its their own fellow countrymen and their country which is suffering.

Acts of Denmark Newspapers should be condemned but through a proper channel. Danish products should be rejected and EU should be nipped in the bud for their so-called "Freedom of Expression" and Danish authorities should apologize the entire Muslim nation immediately.

FFT Processor

Currently i have an assignment in VLSI. To create an FFT Processor. FFT is Fast Fourier Transform. It is basically used in Digital Signal Processing to compute Discrete Fourier Transform. There are many algorithms and techniques used for this. Currently i am searching for Radix-4 FFT. After the programming of FFT algorithm in Verilog i have to dump it in IC so that FFT Processor is made. Tada...

11 Guys and A Pizza Place!

Well today after the university me and my 10 other friends went to Pizza Express. We already have gone a lot at Pizza Hut and other big places ..so for a change of taste we went to Pizza Express. However we have been there once too a day before today. Last time it was my other friend who was giving the treat for his result and today i gave the treat. So, we ordered 4 Large Pizzas and 2 regular ones along with 4 pitchers of drink. We tasted every flavor (almost) of the pizza express. Me and all my friends are pizza freaks and we love Pizza Hut but Pizza Express is good too. Its difficult if you are a Pizza Hut fan that any other franchize will impress you but Pizza Express is good. Papa John's another franchize in Pakistan is good too, but i dont like another one Dominos...i dont know why...

Six flavors we ate today:
Mexicana, Arabian hot, Chicken Alsase, Chicken Tandoori, Point Fiesta, Mushroom...

All the pizzas are good but in general our group dint like Arabian Hot..although name sounds it might be rocking but its not the case in reality :)...

Our group loved Point Fiesta and the other ones....

So if you are going on a party , try Pizza Express..although there is no replacement of Pizza hut :).

In the end, i paid the bill :D..intrested in it ?..okay take a wild guess..lets see who is closer..

National Stadium Karachi

The people in our country just need an opportunity and they will do "full time tafreeh" in it. If you are going to watch the match [Pak. vs India] this time around on 19th then if you encounter the following then dont get irritated.

1. If you are girl, forget the ball in the stadium, the whole stand has eyes on you.
2. If you are a guy, then you will listen sounds like "oye neechay bhet, jaldi bheto bhai, i can't see sit down :@"
3. During the match, you will be greeted with bottles from the people sitting at the back. This is so much fun especially if you are sitting at the back and see other's throwing empty bottles on people sitting in the front of the stand. The one who gets hit look backwards to find out who threw the bottle . its like "boojho tu janay " :D
4. The stadium has a protective sheet of al. b/w two stands and yet people are able to exchange cigrettes through them. I saw a guy in the National Stadium's Special Enclosure(PCB gives special passes to the people of this vary enclosure) thew a cigerette to our stand.
5. During the game, you will be meeting so many people fed up with their lives smoking during the whole match and their smokes will rub salt into your wounds especially if you hate smoking.
6. Ancient bathrooms :D
7. In the end you will face every type of "chichorapan" (chutzpah). You might be having some water bath with some eggheads throwing water on people. Getting some hits from wrapped 4 & 6 banner.

All this makes it a day to remember.

Da Vinci Code The Movie

Da Vinci Movie is going to be released soon and for all those who dont know about the cast. Here it is. Robert Langdon will be Tom Hanks. However i thought Harrison Ford will suit it but i think Tom Hanks will be a fine choice. However Sophie Neveu is Audrey Tautou, and guess who is Silas, Paul Betanny (The Beautiful Mind).

Da Vinci Code is a must read. Once i started reading it, it changed my imagination altogether. I was overwhelmed by the amount of lore in it.
Such as the reason of Mona Lisa smile..its androgynous nature due to formation from Sexual Gods Amon and Isis. Virtuvian man, PHI the Divine Ratio and many other interesting facts. Believing or non-beliving on the vatican and priory and line of Christ type affairs is a different thing altogether i am not going into that but the way Dan Brown has presented all this, no wonder why 18 million copies of this book have been sold.

About Dan Brown:
Dan Brown is the author of numerous bestselling novels, including the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Da Vinci Code -- one of the best selling novels of all time. In early 2004, all four of Dan Brown's novels held spots on the New York Times bestseller list during the same week.Dan is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy. His First Novel was In 1996, his interest in code-breaking and covert government agencies led him to write his first novel, Digital Fortress, which quickly became a #1 national bestselling eBook. Brown’s follow-up techno-thriller, Deception Point, centered on similar issues of morality in politics, national security, and classified technology.Recently, he has begun work on a series of symbology thrillers featuring his popular protagonist Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of iconography and religious art. The upcoming series will include books set in Paris, London, and Washington D.C.

Are you guys waiting for the movie?

Google Own Internet Program

Google is working on a project to create its own global internet protocol (IP) network, a private alternative to the internet controlled by the search giant, according to sources who are in commercial negotiation with the company.

Last month, Google placed job advertisements in America and the British national press for "Strategic Negotiator candidates with experience in...identification, selection, and negotiation of dark fibre contracts both in metropolitan areas and over long distances as part of development of a global backbone network".

So will it change our communication ways?. If it does i think it wont work because then everyone will have to change their environments and in todays world it is not that easy.

Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) and The Danish Newspaper

Danish newspaper "Jaylland-Posten" published cartoons depicting Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) which obviously infuriated the Muslim World. This sends a message of contempt towards muslims. I am not going to post pictures here but i can post the reaction of some countries.

Arab News reported: "Muslims in Saudi Arabia denounced Danish and Norwegian newspapers for publishing cartoons ridiculing and insulting Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and called on Islamic governments take action against such hostile campaigns."

KUWAIT (Agencies): "The State of Kuwait strongly condemns and denounces a series of items, in Danish newspapers, which were deemed humiliating to the personality of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), an authoritative Foreign Ministry official said Friday."

Morocco condemned on the publication of satirical cartoons on Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper, regretting it came to provoke Muslim's feelings, said a release of the Moroccan Supreme Council of Ulemas.

Same thing happening in Pakistan and other Muslim countries. This act of Danish newspaper has not only shown the ill will towards muslims but also Danish esteem and pride has fallen from the zenith to the nadir in the Muslim world.
