I absolutely voceferously angrily HATE cricket .......

May be Cricket wil take India down when i see the wasted time, energy ,money, focus imortance ,that

Disgusted Raveena Tandon made a movie contrasting the phoooney Tendulker who hits a child ball with a SQUARE WIDE piece of BAT that a blind man can hit frequently and staistically more times than with Cylindrical base ball bat And faster Pitche of Yankees AND u would need even the eyes of a BAT.....

And if Pakistan take the hint take this oppertunity in disguise of Indian affront of not playing and NOT
indulge its youth in dead end career of foolish hero of cricket which no one of my generation is gouing to continue to support !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1- Those are some awesome designs! Its always a pleasure to see good artwork. Thanx for sharing the link.

2- Its the liberty that offends you, the fact that some women in Pakistan actually have the right to be models and get their pictures taken. Its their independance that you don`t like, the fact that they choose what they want to do. I, and many others like me find these pictues to be an extremely positive influence for the society for the same reasons

Ferrell tells graduates: Chances of finding job as slim as finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq

.c The Associated Press

CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts (AP) - Will Ferrell dusted off his George W. Bush impersonation for his Class Day speech to graduating students at Harvard University.

The former ``Saturday Night Live`` star pretended to read a letter from President Bush to the class of 2003.

``One of the challenges you will face is finding a job in our depressed economy,`` intoned Ferrell. ``In fact, the chances of finding a job are about as good as finding weapons of mass destruction in the Iraqi desert - slim and none, and slim just left the building.``

The 35-year-old actor-comedian also gave the graduates tongue-in-cheek advice about going out into the real world.

``I`m sorry, graduates, this is a world where you aren`t allowed to use your cell phones on airplanes, in movies or even during elective surgery,`` he said Wednesday.

Class Day preceded Harvard`s commencement on Thursday.

Grads Aren`t Seeing Green
The class of `03 is facing the worst job market in a decade.
FORTUNE
Monday, June 9, 2003
By Christine Y. Chen


When 18-year-olds entered college four years ago, dot-com mania was at its height, the Dow was at 11,000, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was the top show on TV. Companies desperate to fill their ranks sent thousands of recruiters to college campuses. Entry-level salaries climbed to $70,000 or more. During spring break, headhunters scoured beaches for prey, offering five-figure bonuses for signing on the spot.

Today no one`s partying like it`s 1999. The class of 2003 is entering the tightest job market since the recession of the early `90s (see Down and Out in White-Collar America). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of unemployed workers between the ages of 20 and 24 is 1.4 million, up 60% from four years ago. Today`s graduating seniors aren`t under any illusions either. In a survey conducted this spring, job-search website Monster.com found that 61% expected to move in with their parents.

Even at the nation`s top schools, in the most employable majors, times are tough. Northwestern University`s School of Engineering typically has 330 graduates each year. In 2000, 70% went straight to jobs and 23% went to graduate or professional schools, while 7% tried to figure out what to do with their lives. Last year nearly a quarter of the class was still looking at graduation (this year`s class hasn`t yet graduated, but the numbers are expected to be equally grim). The engineering school`s top recruiter, Accenture, typically hires about 30 people a year. This year it didn`t take any.

If the 2003 graduates have anything to be thankful for, it`s that they have low expectations. This year`s grads observed as juniors the severe decline in employment opportunities between 2001 and 2002. As a result, they began their job searches earlier. Kiran Varma, a double major in economics and learning and organizational change at Northwestern, finished her resume even before starting her senior year. During the fall she devoted one-third of her waking hours to her job search. By Thanksgiving she had accepted a position at Bank One.

Some recent graduates are choosing options they might not have considered in flush times. Teach for America, for example, received 16,000 applications this year, vs. 5,000 in 2001, and recruiting from nonprofit organizations and the government actually increased from last year. In most fields finding a job simply takes a lot longer than it used to. J.P. Bader, an Indiana University graduate with four majors, including business process management and operations management, began looking last summer, when he sent out more than 250 resumes. Despite 20 first-round interviews and four second-round interviews, he had no offers when he graduated last December. Short on cash, he moved in with his fiancee`s parents. In April, nearly a year into his search, he began working at Epic Systems, a software firm. As for the grads who can`t find jobs, some are opting to stay in school: Graduate and professional school applications have risen about 15% so far this year.

At chowk......Indian muslims may sometimes pretend to show more of kinship with the pakistanis but responding to such paki articles like this one...they leak out their love for their Ranchis and Dharvis (although tipu likes karachi better)
..I could be wrong though...maybe it is just plain ignorance about paki cities...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Neither

like all Indian muslims

I dont live in any BIG city

That i like

so i put my money where my mouth is

As visitors i have ..Mumbai and Raanchi even Karachi

But never chose raanchi or Karachi






http://63.194.130.82/cgi-bin/show_article.cgi?aid=00001544&channel=leafyglade in
Here is my own humble poetic effort on CHOWK in 1998:


A BEGGAR FROM KARACHI


Once like the current multitudes in Chappals

These legs also walked your dusty streets

As this was home, but now all but lost in memory

Clifton Beach, Saddar and the market no

Empress would much care to bless.



Paan stains or is it the crimson of blood?

Of the many young and now old, pierced hate

The metal of unholy bullets in still bodies

Widows, orphans and the ravages of

Jinns let loose in the bazaars of fearful lives.



Peace once walked through this city but

Like Mir, sons died here for many perceived sins

And the loss has now reached the healer Hakim who

By educating children was pronounced guilty of doing good

Sentenced to death at age 78 to leave us horrified.



Many names not as famous come to mind too but

Space limits and the pain of this madness erases

Man dreams burnt in the hot Tandoors of hate

Bigotry, selfishness and the smoke of street heroin

All are now experiencing the futility of addiction.



Very easy it is to blame the outsiders for oppression

But amongst ourselves oozes a little truth

The City of Lights calls for an era that once was

When the people of Karachi lived around the clock

And were not forced to plead for peace

Like this beggar from the past.

An Ode to Karachi
Syed Ali


 
The city thats alive in our dreams
By night
With smiles
As we dream
karachi, the city of lights
the city of our heart`s plight
The shape of our tears
The direction of our fears
Numbed over time
Our needs take heed
But there will always be a glow
A burning light
a warm blow
that utters in the depth of our heart
karachi
karachi, we long for you
karachi that lives in our dreams
karachi where monsoon flows
karachi on a Chand raat
or an eid day, or a rainy day
or any day when no one dies
when murderers and victims can breath the air
And not kill or be killed
when there is no hate
no prejudice amidst sects
no tears do flow
of the mother for her son
and no blood runs
on the streets where once was hope
Karachi of our dreams, maybe unreal
Yet its present in our dreams and our fears
Laments of the days gone by
Only in our dreams, doth it survives
lingers...reminds
makes us happy...makes us cry
karachi
the city that died a long time ago
karachi
the city thats alive in our dreams
