Love all

There’s a saying that Love means nothing in tennis! It doesn’t seem to be the case in Shoaib-Sania story. Watching a re-run of the match on Geo Super on 29th march, I came across the running slide about Shoaib Malik announcing his engagement to Sania Mirza. However, the first thing that came to my mind [...]

Boycott IPL!

A few days back, I came across Aman ki asha ad on Geo and thought what’s the use apart from some concerts held here and there achieving no lasting objective? Then I got to know the ads were even biased towards Indians and it infuriated me that we could have done a better job at [...]

What Islam says..

A few days back, our news channels were swarmed with videos of a girl being flogged on charges of having illicit relations in Swat. And then started the whole run of the mill routine of condemnation of the act, rallies and protests by human rights activists, political parties and the inane statements by our government. [...]

Just wanted to share a bit of news I came across. Roger Federer and his girlfriend (of more then 8 years) Mirka are going to have their first baby which is due in summer this year. (Do I hear sounds of heart breaking? ) And just a bit of selfishness on my part. I hope [...]

None of us know how much “change” the world would see but everyone is hopeful for things to get better. From last night onwards, all I heard on TV/Radio or discussions going around me revolving [...]

Grieving for Gaza – II

After almost two weeks of Israel attack on Gaza, the UN Security Council called for a ceasefire (no points for guessing which country didn’t participate in the voting process!) which in reality didn’t affect a thing as Israel continues its one sided war. By and large, the whole world watches mutely except for French President Nicolas [...]

Grieving for Gaza

Last Saturday afternoon, while switching through channels I came across breaking news on local channels about Israel air raids on Gaza. Thinking that CNN/BBC would have more latest and updated news, I turned to them. But much to my surprise (more like dismay!), they were running their usual shows and there was no mention of [...]
