The Pre-Dusk

....And now its time, time when they have been exhausted, they have been hungry. The sun is about to set and the sirens are about to go off. This is the time when the watches are being watched the most through out the year, a second of which seems to pass extraordinarily slow. Women in the kitchen, men around the kitchen and kids probably be out with friends, flying kite or just hanging out, some of which make fake siren sounds to fool the crowd! Finally the moment comes, the sirens go off, its time to pray the dua and break the fast. The ever-new pakoray, phulkiyan, chanay, dahi baray type of iftari items fills up every dinning tables in every home. Just after 20 to 30 minutes they have eaten so much that they just want to crash down on the bed and take a nap. Thats the spirit of ramzan and the rozay!

Man vs. Market - By Kulsoom (extremely well written)

Original Link: Men vs. Markets : " “He is one of those people who would be enormously improved by death.” By H.H. Munro The above has proven to be correct for Syed Muzzamil Hussain Shah, a young scout who embraced martyrdom on 28th December, 2009 in Ashur procession blast in Karachi. But how many of us remember him? Or do we remember any of those who got killed that day? Off the record over 75 people got killed on that day while participating in the procession. We remember none but burned shops because that’s what being over-run on media. Sometimes significance of material takes over the precious lives. I wonder why and who called lives precious since they are not anymore. We have better things to show and cry over, such as loss of Rs.30 billion, stolen arms, and arguing and blaming political parties. Government of Pakistan announced Rs. 500,000 for the deceased and Rs.100,000 for injured but these funds will take time to arrive in the hand of families. With the increasing infl...

Irony! A devotee of Prophet (saw) claims it on his car sub-woofer.

I saw this car at bahadurabad today, very interestingly what it says is "Mairay Maan Baap ap per qurban, Ya Rasul Allah SAW". (sorry for the poor quality picture, it was dark at night) :) This seems to mean that the person is willing to sacrifice his / her parents in the name of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw), unless it means that "Only my parents are a big fan / devotee of Your's (saw) and not me", it is quite an irony to see the big sub-woofer stuffed at the back of the car with some very good quality speaker system. I'm pretty sure that none of the Tilawat-e-Quran needs a big sub-woofer system to be played on. As we know that a sub woofer is used to produce bass, which is a low frequency below 150 hz down to 20hz or low, while the vocals are best when the ranges b/w 500Hz and 2 Khz are high (arrange your media player equalizer to see the results) Although, I did not hear it playing music so I can not blame the person for being a lier or a show off ma...
