Where\'s the news?
Posted by beenishmoeed Oct 17, 2007 02:02 pm
Well I'd rather throw a simple plain common sense , masses did'nt come out against Presidential Elections because it was Ramadaan! and they still wont come out against benazir because they are all off on eid holidays.

The Day We Killed Bob Woolmer
Posted by beenishmoeed Mar 19, 2007 03:52 pm
On Naseem Ashraff: If its an Official News thn I don`t think he has resigned mainly because of the performance of our team, as today he himself said on a local tv channel that he did`nt want to bring changes just before the World-cup, and that he should be given time to improve. The reason for his resignation is Bob Woolmer, chiefly because I guess he`s more concerned about the Autopsy Report, one never knows, sorry If I am bringing up the issue of conspircy again, but still, how coward, running away from the whole Issue of his death.

Bet, if woolmer hadnt died, I am sure, this guy would`ve never resigned
not atleast on the performance let alone since he became Chairman few months ago.
Teaching Science Badly – and Well
Posted by beenishmoeed Mar 1, 2007 03:14 pm
practical answer: zero error

Agreed. Course books should be revived, (a lot of good images- mentioning of online sites- laborities having `complete` equippments, etc) Teaching method should be improved but a more emphasis should be given to reviving Course Books, atleast where the teaching is not good a student would be able to get it right all by himself. I was interested in science, somehow I lost my interest, I`d blame myself but I`d also blame the course-books and teaching method. Today in good colleges,student go to Medical/eng universities not because of good teaching/n/course/ but because of their own rattafication qualities and hard-work, as they are supposed to be the cream of that city,so the cream goes to these faculties and the remaining nuts end up being like me!

Forget about science, they tell a student in pak-studies about the ideology of pakistan that it was made in the name of religion and that it was a genuine fear that after the britishers leave , we`d not be given fair chance in country`s politics and prosperity
to our youth`s utter surprise, today President of India is a Muslim and Prime-Minister is a Sikh, so when our youth sees the reality, he gets confused. So all the muslims of india do exactly what we here do

A Strike Against Strike

;-)

``President Bush addressed the nation on some of the networks. NBC and CBS refused to preempt `Friends` and `Survivor` for the president. So God forbid, let`s hope the enemy never attacks on a Thursday night.`` —Jay Leno

``More and more facts coming out about Osama bin Laden. You know, he never sleeps in the same place two nights in a row, just like Clinton.`` —Jay Leno

`Allied forces have hit all the Taliban military installations and bases. To give you an idea how successful these strikes have been: the Taliban has been telling young men that when they get to heaven, there may not be enough virgins to go around. They were promised 72. Now they are down to 45, but were told, `Your virgins may vary.`` —Jay Leno

``There was a rumor that Jesse Jackson was going to go over there to talk with the Taliban, apparently they were having trouble rhyming the word Jihad.`` —Jay Leno




Re-Imagining Pakistan
Posted by beenishmoeed Dec 14, 2006 01:15 pm
hello
jinnah`s quote was `unity,faith and discipline`, not faith,unity and discipline, I wonder why it has been changed to latter by the officials or whoever-

thanks.
