The title is scary, I know. It is true that it seems more complicated than it really is. A few days back, I came across some of the news items in my RSS reader. Three of those are listed below.
  1. KESC Initiates Captive Power Policy
    The first company to join this programme is Engro Polymer & Chemical Ltd (EPCL), which signed an agreement with KESC recently to supply 18 Megawatts power supply to the KESC by mid-year 2009. This was yet another breakthrough that was carried forward by a second agreement signing between International Industries Limited (IIL) and the KESC. According to this contract, IIL will supply 4 MWs to KESC within the next two weeks.
  2. Islamabad pays Rs 31 bn KESC debt
    Pepco spokesmen Tahir Basharat Cheema confirmed that the government had adjusted Rs 31 billion against the main portion of loans that the Pepco had gotten from the federal government at interest rate of 18 per cent. “Due to this very step, not only the KESC has been given relief but the loans the Pepco has gotten from the federal government have also been reduced.
  3. Karachi to get 234-megawatt electricity from November
    The government signed on Thursday an agreement with a Turkish company to hire a 234-megawatt power plant to address the electricity crisis in Karachi.
So this implies that if everything goes according to the plans, by the end of this year, Karachi would be in good electrical hands :)

Lets hope for the best and lets do what we can do about it.

PUBLIC MESSAGE:
  1. SAVE (Bachat / cutback)
    Switch off the lights when you don't need them.
  2. SAVE (Bachaoo / Rescue)
    Keep an eye on the "Kundas" (electricity theft) near your home and take some actions to prevent the illegal usage of electricity.
  3. Make point 1 and 2 your habit :)

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...

Yellow and Blue is coming!

You might have seen this hoarding all over Karachi by now. Today I thought I should blog about it and see what people think about what it could be. At the top of my head, it stuck me as www.bestbuy.com , some of the teasers do say best buy as well. But some say great vale and some say things about experience. I think the chances for it to be bestbuy.com is pretty great, most of the signs leads us to think that. Specially the color scheme is exactly the same. If not then it will most probably be something digital or onlinr, I suppose. To save me from embarrassment I'd like to hear what you people think of it. :)
