Independent economists forecast below 6% GDP growth

By Fida Hussain

ISLAMABAD: The missed targets of major crops and the lower growth of industrial sector could deprive the country of achieving the desired GDP growth of seven percent, as independent economists are forecasting the real growth something below six percent in the current financial year.

“The government must be jubilant if the GDP growth touches six percent against the last year’s achieved growth of 8.4 percent,” most economists in the private sector are of the view.

They have informed the government that the situation has changed considerably this fiscal, where the estimated cotton crop size could be around 13 million bales against the last year’s achieved production of 14.6 million bales. There is a difference of 1.6 million bales in cotton production this year and what was achieved in the last fiscal, an economist, who asked not to be named, told the Daily Times.

``with drab ideas with least ideas of romanticism ( romanticism is BIG BIG Problem for marriages.) ``

madani saheb.....my advice....do not try to marry off your daughters to someone whom they do not love!!..........Respect your daughter`s `Romanticism`................otherwise your own blood would curse you for the rest of their lives...........

prophet tahmed: so I don`t get the prophet tahmed seal of approval?..damn..i`m all depressed now..

Re: # 102
This is not my contribution, I am for full admission to USA once anybody enters and suppoet human rights.

I am against hhearts stuff etc, love etc its blind and not good, its like drugs and it gives wrong ideas and grief to parents. Lots of people feel their sons and daughter are great but really they are not most are not good just most median and all hype.Also people are marrying for love etc and then again break marriage soon for they never thought partner was such bad and heartless person. It is always good to start with no poetic ideas and with drab ideas with least ideas of romanticism ( romanticism is BIG BIG Problem for marriages.) You go damn with idea to have children then its ok. Then you marry proper as then you do not marry ugly person in love as then you know that you have to get them married, then sense comes. Problem is old times people were sensible they wanted to get married for children now they marry for love that is problem and then children are byproduct of modern marriage is big problem. In my family also this love marriage type problems but I ignore and bless them and they are away so no too much trouble, Its bad time. I need to go to sleep. I took my tab against GAD ( General Anxity disorder), feel sleepy Good luck everybody.

#104 arjun the monkey man: I see you dont have a life outside chowk on weekends either.

Mr. Kumar #98 Finally....I am glad some Indian finally spoke up (in addition to swarrier, that is). It is too easy for empty minds with nothing to write about other than ridicule and abuse to other communities that have no doubt kept chowk from growing beyond where it is today (which of course violates chowk guidelines, I may add).

ahmedmadani #100 A scientific survey reported in lafanga american press reports positive correlation between number of books at home and performance of child in school (ceteris paribus, and I say this in Latin because it is nice thing to say in Latin). But with one exception, as follows: If these books are on shayer shairi (as opposed to other subjects like science, history and so on), then there is not just no positive correlation, but negative correlation between number of books at home and performance of child in school.

In short, science support what you already know - shayer shairi is useless stuff, in fact bad for the brain.

On other kind of lafangbazi that you note, what you call the foolish nonsense of the heart will be broken etc. I humbly disagree - Have you forgotten when you were young once? Jap aatish jawaan thha?? So, please dont come in the way like the Great Wall of China between young people in love. Do you want the human race to come to an end!! :-)

Re: # 96
Mr. BJK It was funny you wrote about shayaer and etc its useless stuff.
I have bad opinion about ``poets`` etc and they are mostly/ all Lafangas. As father of my daughters I was damn against such characters `` who make poetry`` and stuff have unshaved faces and wasting parents hard earned money talking about useless things and talking nonsense and consuming enormous amounts of teas, smoking and wearing strange dresses and trying to impress impressible young girls who do not like good simple good husband and father of children type material and then destroying joy of young womens parents. They are useless for work as they feel simple work is not for poet and big work is too big so never works. And poetry is useless even if sweet as by putting poems pages and sturring tea it does not become sweet useless you need simple sugar. which is Rs. 44/kg. Now a days things are bad. I do little tution some time to ungrateful students and they have strange ideas. One young lady who was not doing ok in calculus had tution with me. And she use to come late and recently told her if she does not come on time I can not help her. I asked her why always late she said her male friend was reading shayari stuff in college and she wanted to attend or his heart will be broken etc. you know foolish nonsense. And she failed due to this useless boys bad influence and her father blamed me and said I should teach her again free. I told him I can do that but unless he kick that parasite friend shayar of his ungrteful daughter nothing can be done. The girl married shayar and has son and still he is doing useless stuff with no economic value ( lady is still in love feels he is doing something which is invaluable )and lady is working to support this man for her mistake of marrying.
This people ( boy and girl) if well displined when child then poor father had some happiness.
Now a days most young people are under evil influence of music, drugs, love,poetry and they are blind and aviod hard work to earn honest rupee.
good luck every body

My observations on the happenings at large in India is that it is a result of the political class being totally out of control. Every government organ has been hijacked by them for their personal causes, be it the police, fire department, municipal corporations and the like which is why they simply don`t function.

In India, we absolutely need political reforms to ensure that the Mayawatis, Lalloo Prasads, Mulayams, the Gowda family all of whom are essentially incompetent and failed people find it very hard to gain political power and hence ruin the country. At the same time, we need to make it easy for people like Narayan Murthy of Infosys, who has shown the guts to stand up to the politicians, and who has genuine long term solutions for India`s problems to be given a chance either through politics or administration to get into the system and make a difference.

Nobody in their right mind gets pleasure from the suffering of individuals - no matter what their nationality!

Will you stop recycling this 3-year old piece now.

I do not know what happened at the time and who did what, but if Federal agents mistreated individuals in their custody they probably violated some American laws, too!

Immigration crackdown shatters Muslims` lives

By Cam Simpson, Flynn McRoberts and Liz Sly
Tribune staff reporters
Published November 16, 2003

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- The 75 passengers on the Icelandair jet sat strapped to their seats, cloth bands cinching their arms to their waists for all but the final descent of the three-leg, 20-hour flight.

Struggling to feed themselves, they spilled rice and meat onto the floor of the cabin. A trip to the bathroom required the escort of a federal agent.

After the plane screeched to a halt in the sweltering July heat, U.S. officials herded the men off the jet and onto the soil of their native Pakistan. The purpose of the flight: deportation. Why them? Their nationality.(i.e. PAKI)

Ahmed Madani saheb, you have hit the nail right on its head!

I agree that this web-site must stay focused on Pakistan-related things - we should all try to solve problems. Your advice regarding starting Indians’ own web-paper is more difficult to implement. It is a little like setting up a business corporation. It is too much work to do.

It is a lot easier to just take one over!

Some people may disagree with you that this is a Pakistani site - please remember, an Indian sits on top and in all probability keeps whipping the rears of the Pakistanis underneath! Others may see that as no big inconsistency in this case - since women do it all the time irrespective of nationality!

Your analogy of a reversed microscope is absolutely accurate. The bullock carts continue to race along those highways! Those are the most energy-efficient vehicles ever invented and the Indians did it, too!

In the same way - the west is only NOW discovering the advantages of staying slim - the Indians have known it for ages - and actually practiced it like you stated - over 80% of our population has no difficulty maintaining that slim figure.

It could even be said that the Indians have become so lazy due to all those successes that they always try to do things the easy way.

We did the same with our languages - we grabbed and appropriated words from Farsi and others when nobody was looking and before anyone could say ``boo``, we claimed their ownership - and since we have the larger number of people, it gets easily validated, too!

It is a serious problem for the people of Pakistan! They are simply not producing enough children to keep up with the Indians. For every child that is born in Pakistan, there are four or five born in India - so when the time comes, we can outshout them by a volume level of four to one! In spite of the hard efforts of a few Pakistani individuals here!

I am sorry to give you the bad news sir, some day we will grab all your shero-shairis too (and perhaps even the male and female shairs as well)! I believe we may have already grabbed your various foods. Soon, there may be little original Pakistani items left for the Pakistanis - and there is not much even the Drs. Gill of your world can suggest on how to protect yourselves! They - like all the Pakistani brains on this site and everywhere else in the world - are absolutely clueless on how to deal with the serious Indian threat!

We do things in even more insidious ways - we make movies and songs with the Kashmir theme so everyone will associate Kashmir with India - and then the world will never question our rightful ownership of that province! We even usurp your emotions! How can one watch ``Kashmir ki Kali`` and not cry?!!

You think THAT is bad! Just wait till we start making movies with Sindhi and Balochi themes and start opening call centers in your side of Punjab - I think all your khakis are eminently suited for those call-center jobs - based on their training and performance. Such jobs may not pay as much as their current booty - but then at least they will actually do some real work and then perhaps identify more with their common masses!

Make no mistake about it.

The Indians are coming! The Indians are coming!

Unless, of course, they are already there! Like on this site.
