Another Delay!!!

 Posted by Khushal Khan on September 25th, 2005

So far i have spent 4 months after my FSc examination at my home,within these 4 months, 2 months ago our result was announced,and the admissions race had already begun. I had pre-planned what to study and that for sure was BBA, but i was puzzled at the criteria of the private institutions, for one university the last date of form submission was 26th and in the other university the last date of payment of dues was 25th. The same criteria was followed by the other private institutions, as un luckily studies in our country has become a very profitable business, mind you,get a banner printed in the name of a university and open its branch in your drawing room and you’ll see thousands of people flooding at your end.
I changed my mind of admission in Islamabad and decided to go for Peshawar after giving up my seat at CIIT-Islamabad that cost me 10,ooo/-. Hoping to get admission in a good Management University made me apply in IMSciences for BBA and in Edwardes College for HND (Higher National Degree) in Business studies, the entry test date for IMSciences was decided to be 3rd October while for Edwardes College there is only an interview. The entry test was to be conducted by Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency (ETEA) , this agency is the major testing agency of NWFP, and it also conducted the Entry test TODAY for Khyber Medical College-Peshawar (One of the best Medical Instituitions in NWFP),but then what was all this that GEO TV said, 15 members of ETEA arrested for leaking the entry test paper, the paper according to sources was bought for 75 lac rupees yesterday, and sold on for as many as 40-45 lac to many people, making the key culprit a Billionaire, the others followed the same trend to recover their amounts and early the next morning, it was available for as *low* as 3 lac*damn*, one of my friend’s friend happened to buy the same paper for this amount, and so the test was conducted but later cancelled and postponed to an unannounced date.This makes me feel very sad for my friend who is a 17th board postion holder but he says all we can do is to wait.The same agency is to conduct my test and i think there is going to be a *slight* delay of only a month in my test, wasting some real precious time of me, and destroying my future.

3 Days 3 Versions!

 Posted by Khushal Khan on September 25th, 2005

FireFox has been one of my favourite browser i heard most of its hearing from my friend Adil Memon and one of a fellow blogger, since then it has the honor to be in my installs. Two days before i was using its version 1.0.4,it was working fine when i heard my friend saying he uses the 1.0.6 version which according to him was the best with some additions to the previous version, so i got it downloaded from Mozilla’s Official site, and it was yesterday that a message appeared another update is available, i opened the link and update completed making my Browser’s version 1.0.7.It was a good news for me, as i admire FireFox alot, it is simply extra fast and i like its TAB feature the most, as for people like me using a 128 Mb RAM *still* face a lot of problems when it comes to surfing as it opens new windows for Internet Explorer which consumes a lot of memory. There are some things which FireFox lacks and they are that it does not display the un-professional*mostly free hosting sites* sites well, although most of them are rubbish but yet they make at least 45%*according to me :D * of the internet websites, secondly the fact that you have to download the plug ins again and again makes me feel a bit uncomfortable but once you have the most basic plug ins, you are in a fast world of surfing the internet.
