By
Shershah Bridge towards gulbaee has fallen down. the latest marvel of Karachi construction is now live for the public. the project that took 5 years to build using foreign assistance had its opening 25 days back. Just about time, before a month could end the bridge has fallen down. There are (as per eye wittinesses) 2 heavy trailers, 1 cultus, 1 donkey cart with the donkey and a few other vehicles are trapped under the pile of concrete. There are still people trapped in the cars. The rescue workers and paramedics are at the scene, work is going on with the speed of snail due to the congested area! there are factories, plants and other bridges around, so there cant be no bigger machinery in order to clear the rubble. This bridge is believed to be build by NHA -run by Pakistani army. We are still not sure how many survived and how may have lost their lives. but our prayers are with the ones how are suffering.

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

By
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.

By
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...
