Google purchased Feedburner just a few days back for a healthier amount and paid 10 times more price of the original price as Google knows how to play with its stuff, Feedburner was the most famous feed burning company that had millions of blogs attached to its network and after acquired by Google, the company started working under Google.

Youtube was yet another company that got Google’s attention after it saw the potential of the company to go high miles, it acquired Youtube for god knows when and how much but it turned out to be one of the best decision it made since Youtube was a massive hit in the people and became the top 10 most visited website in about half a year or so.

Orkut that initially started off as a Social Networking project assigned to a Turkish Student who managed to code it such a way that caught the attention of Google’s eye and it made no delay in acquiring it. Orkut is one of the business of the Google empire for over 3 years but hasn’t yet managed to to get out of the beta phases,Google has been continuously improving this social networking website Orkut. Orkut that gained worlwide fame and is in the Alexa top 10 chart for over a year now is the most famous social networking website in Pakistan, till 2006 Pakistan was the second most user of Orkut after Brazil, but as soon as it gained more and more fame and spread all over the world, this position got taken away by India and then UK etcetera.

Anyways, yet another cool feature into Orkut after the options to have Youtube uploaded videos embedded into profile is that now users can add there RSS feeds of blog to there profile. Cool haan? Google using three of the companies at the same time in one go and guess what, they’re going to get very much out of it, since all are well established and the more the features are introduced, the more the business Google is going to make.

What’s the future of internet btw? is it sooner or later going to be Google net?

I think its not bad asking about Islam, i hope many Muslims “Good Ones” would come and read my blog, and make a comment. I’ve been a good and a bad Muslim from time to time but these days i am in the best shape of my Muslim being while i pray 5 times a day regularly with a cellphone always ON with a reminder of Namaz in it. While i offer prayers there are a few general questions that come to my mind but i need some experts and literate and knowledge(d) person replies and thoughts on them!

• I am late at times specially in the Isha prayers which i offer at usually after 12 PM and before 2:30 PM , Question is, is it Sin? or is this time not suitable for Isha prayers?
• I wear three quarters or Jeans when i am offering my salaat, i would love to know whether such a dress is acceptable in Islam?
• I often have t-shirts with strange images, designs, comments that are a bit weird but mostly not, is that acceptable?
• While i am offering my prayers my mind is constantly circulating in other things such as who was i chatting to a minute ago, how did the classes go, how was the uni today etc and stuff, the question is how do i overcome this?
• My room has huge posters, 3 of them , which has nearly covered the entire room’s walls, if i want to offer namaz here without having the Jaye Namaz in its direction,can i offer prayers in such a room?

I think i have many many more questions but these are the few of the very basic questions that are in my mind and i really need to find there answer from some great Islamic person. I will post the other questions with times as they come into my mind, and if i get the answers, will also publish them here!

Lets see how Islamic we bloggers are!

I myself have been a really great supporter and FAN of Musharraf all because he was an Army Chief and i had a true and eternal love for Army, despite the fact that many people hated him for now what i call “Dog fits” , i used to love him as since my childhood i’ve learned that Soldiers are sharp, they do justice, they are smart, accurate, passionate for there country and will do anything to protect there country’s fame and name.

Since the past one or two years there’ve been so many incidents that we are all aware of that has decreased the popularity of insensitive jerk, yes i call him that and now support this insensitive jerk campaign which i refused to be a part of when i talked about it here…

Anyways i decided to blog about this when i saw the tag line “Chacha Musharraf wardi laonda kyon nahin!” and saw the video from a source that i got from Blogger Pakistan.

By the way dont you think its really the time Musharraf should resign?

Just came across this article on Digg, and really it made me Laugh!.It says “If you need to transfer more than 1 TB of data, maybe your better choice would be still just send it on disks for over-night delivery.”

Just consider this case in Pakistan with we people on the poor dial-ups will takes weeks to do so, even our DSL wont be as fast enough to download it within a week, Maybe we can say that FedEx is 700% faster in Pakistan! lolz!

It didn’t took Pakistan long to win the hearts of the emotional Pakistani cricket loving nation after the worst knock out from the World Cup cricket 2007 in the first round. Pakistan played Srilanka today in the Sheikh Zaid Stadium - Abu Dhabi in the first match of the Abu Dhabi ODI series 2007.

I am not going to comment over the match as i seriously was not willing to watch and neither did i spare time for it, but while channel surfing i came through the odds when the conditions were not favorable and it was the time when Pakistan was in crisis with Afridi just in there to bat, and damn how could i miss his batting!. Just as he started, he ended up with 73 from 34 Balls including a 32 runs smashing hitting in a single over. This was a good heal for the bruised Pakistani Cricket Nation. Thanks Afridi

Yes, its a good question! As most of the youth in my university and nearly everyone around me gets involved into stupid activities such as smoking etc. Poor chaps like us although never even think seriously about smoking but offcourse the curiosity does exists, i feel no shame (though i know my family,friends are reading my blog) to say that i have tried a cigarette many times just to see what it feels like when smoking and pulling out the ugly smoke, i never had a good experience and i would end up coughing with a bad throat and a spinning head. My other friends started Sheesha or Hookah as an alternative to smoking, not for pleasure or the real fun of it but to fulfill there keen desire for smoking, not to forget to mention that in university age smoking cigarette or sheesha is considered a sign of style.

Though i myself tried sheesha alot of times but never made it a regular habit as my elder’s in the hostel who i fortunately happen to have more than brotherly relations with say that it is just nothing but a base of smoking that will lead you to become a chain smoker. On the other hand i always have the curiosity whether Sheesha can be used as an alternative to smoking or not and does it have the same after affects as smoking? Please let me know!

3 days ago we had a photography competition in our institute, although i did not participated in the competition because photography is not my area of interest but one of my friends Fahad Rehman did participated in the competition and grabbed 2nd position, although his photographs were very cool but he arrived late at the display hall and did not make a Video presentation so the Judges deducted marks from him. The winner was a group called eXer and there work was very fascinating as well, nearly all the participants displayed some great photographs as if they were trained from some photography schools. The main theme of the competition was Child labor which was brilliantly presented by the participants.

Photography i must say is an art, and requires less of an equipment and more of an aesthetic sense, once you get to develop this sense in your self, you will be no longer needing any school to master your skills in, on the other hand photography schools are really helpful where you get a chance to see the in depth of the photography world and discover some facts that are not known to normal people.

I was planning to post some of the pictures here but since my buddy’s room is all locked and i can’t access his computer via the network so i will post them to my blog today when he arrives and off course only if they are not very high resolution and big in size.

YES i really did, yesterday while i was on a hostel trip to Murree and Islamabad, i never thought i’ll meet someone who i am a fan of and while i was hanging out with friends in the busy and colorful environment of Jinnah Super in Islamabad, i happen to go to Illusion’s mart to purchase a DVD of Spiderman 3 but unfortuantely they had the only camera print, just when i went to the upper floor i saw Javed Chaudhry with a young girl of nearly 6-7 years old( probably his daughter) going through different things. I was at first a bit surprised but then went straight to him and asked if he really was Javed, and YES was his answer after shaking hands. I was very happy cos i’ve got a chance to ask him directly whatever i wanted to, he just asked me for an introduction and i told him what i was, and then like a typical reporter i told him that i was his great fan and that i’ve written 2-3 blog posts in my blog website about him and got a very good response from public, specially some of them thinking as if i was he and then commenting at the end of the posts the typical questions that everyone had in mind about him, i.e why did he left Jang Newspaper? His answer was simply “Bas beta, un kay saath zara laraee ho gaee thee”, that’s all what i could get from him and then i thought asking him in depth would be a really stupid and weird thing to do as he was on an outing with family and kids.

In my recent posts like this , this ,this n this… i always mentioned that i am a keen fan of the guy and really like the style of his writing,and that i never knew him personally!!! but now that I’ve met him in person i would like to share the following updates.
So the update is Javed Chaudhry writes for the Newspaper called Express Daily (Urdu version) , anyone can read his columns for free on http://www.express.com.pk for free, and i dont know Javed Chaudhry personally so please stop posting silly comments asking for his phone number,addresses and other personal information.

Thanks!

Last night I had a severe headache and my head was spinning badly, then I felt like I am gonna catch fever sooner or later as I was feeling cold in the hot weather in Peshawar with just a fan turned on in my room, it started with too much food as I had over excess of food last night, when i came back to my room i realized there was no tablets that could cure my headache, then i tried each and every tablet that my friend could give me but it was never going to show its impact, i don’t even trust these Disprin aspirins from the local pharmacies, i feel like every time i have a headache i have to order these basic need tablets from some canadian pharmacies or some German Homeopathicians which i can assure you all that they sell pure of them.

Since it was too terrible for me to stay awake, i still had to stay awake and do some assignments, but failing to do any one of them cos of my weird health condition i didn’t do any of them, but one advantage that i availed from all this was that i slept earlier and had a good sleep so i am feeling fresh and alright now, and yeah dont trust these medicines ok:(

I have always been inspired with Marketing stuff and promotions done by different advertising agencies like Interflow through TV ads and public service messages and UK tag suppliers with there awesome tags and stickers for the products that are mostly used in my country, that is the main reason why I always wanted to study marketing right from the scratch. It really makes me alive when I happen to see this big billboards and banners all over the display in the cities like Islamabad where they shine in lights, in my city however the situation is different but there’s a place called Shama chowk which has routes to all the major areas of the cities and most of the companies prefer to put there billboards there for effective marketing, that is my favourite place and i never miss to watch out the latest billboards that companies install there every time i pass by that place.

For the cause I happened to have studied two courses of marketing within the first two semesters of my bachelors program in my university and by the grace of god have achieved A grade, this was all because of the interest I have in the subjects else I don’t get A’s very often. For the future, I plan to do MBA in Marketing and no more IT as I’ve had enough of it.
