Sometimes we just dont realise the sort of influence we have on others!
Mohammad Yousuf: A tribute
Posted by batman Dec 6, 2006 10:12 am
Those who think he converted because of captaincy, there are a lot of Christians in Pakistan who have been high achievers. Take Justice Cornilouis for that matter. Though he never played one match but for his contributions the main entrance of PCB`s office and the Gadhafi Stadium is named after him. Yousuf himself played as Captain during the time he was a christian. Cecil Chaudhry, one of the war heros wasnt muslim. I know a lot of people in the field of commerce who have done very good and are not muslims either. I doubt in modern Pakistan, a person`s religous background matters. Pakistanis let you go if you have a different religon. The problem starts if you say when you say are a muslim but you differ from their interpatation!

Its a pity `Auqaf` only looks after the religous sites significant to muslims. These sites should not only be maintained but as a gesture of goodwill hindus from around the world should be encouraged to visit them. Might just imporve our much needed `soft` image...

Meeting Sattar Edhi
Posted by batman Jan 17, 2005 10:13 pm
Dude....

i am an accountant.... management, chartered... u name it...
just to let u know that systems and controls are my thing...
Edhi Foundation has one of the best systems...
btw... talking about tom dick and harry collecting money... UN which is oh so very western and systematic had some pretty nasty scandals too...

leaving the rationals out...

around 0200 hours last december...
i saw in front of me 2 bus ramming into each other....
while i parked my car... got out... was running an analysis... getting the picture... trying to call police
an ambulance was already there...
in 5 minutes (i timed it) there were 10 of them...
they all were edhi`s...

police came after an hour or so...

if i ever have to give money out to any charity.... i think edhi comes out on the top... cause i saw how well the money is used...
