The 20 Best Pakistani Pop Songs … ever!
Posted by momin257 Aug 7, 2004 05:28 pm
Some songs need to be deducted from this list in whose place the following may be a good bet for all money:

Jazba-e- Junoon (Juoon)
Dil Dil Pakistan (Vital Signs)
Ek Baar Kaho (Ahmed Jahanzaib)
Bin Tere Kya Hai Jeena (Jawad Ahmed)
Afreen Afreen (Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan)

Chain of Command
Posted by momin257 Jul 31, 2004 07:16 pm
I advocate the opinion that it is not incompetency; insincerity; dishonesty that is giving a torrid time to Gen. Musharraf to choose his successor. But once he sheds his uniform, Mr. Musharraf would no longer be ``the most`` powerful president ever of this country. Lots of his strength comes from the Armed Forces and once he is no longer associated with it constitutionally, it would be very difficult for him to control the democracy emphatically. But, for the record I will put all my money on General Arif Hassan to assume the COAS office if Musharraf decides to quit it.
The Door To The Barracks
Posted by momin257 Jul 22, 2004 07:34 am
The most popular political leader of Pakistan`s history, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, was a minister in the military establishment of Ayub Khan. So was Nawaz Sharif and many others.

It is no hidden secret that in times of turmoil our political leaders have always looked towards the military to step and solve situations of conflict.

Our political culture has not grown in stature and how can we suddenly delete the role of the military and play our destinies into the hands of certain incompetent politicians.

And with regrets, I see no politicians who can take Pakistan out of this quagmire and convince the military to go back to the barracks.
An Open Letter to Jemima Khan
Posted by momin257 Jul 20, 2004 01:15 pm
It is no big deal that a divorce has happened; the only reason why this news finds place is because of the celebrity status of both Imran and Jemima.

Well, I do not see any reason for us questioning Mr. Khan`s personal live. And why does a piece such as Mr. Khan visiting palmists has to come under the news. It is none whatsoever.

We need to thank Imran the cricketer and see what Imran the politician can do rather than complaining all the time.
What Should be the Top-10 S&T Policy Priorities for Pakistan?
Posted by momin257 Jul 19, 2004 01:15 pm
Be pragmatic....before allocating so much to MOST, would it not be better to improve the education sector in our country which despite all the reforms lacks zip and bite. I agree with you that S&T is very important but for an uneducation lot like us, it would not snear in benefits as it will when we have an educated society.
