Yet again, the Pakistan Cricket team hinges on the rise and fall of run rates in the on going Asia Cup!

The hosts, after being slaughtered by the likes of Sri Lanka and India, have now been tagged as virtually ‘out of the tournament’ unless the following series of events take place:

First of all, Pakistan needs to beat India in the game today. Once they succeed in doing so, they will have to draw our their prayer mats and start hoping that Sri Lanka are victorious over India in their scheduled match on Thursday. That is not just it. Pakistan will then once again have to step in the field and strive to beat Bangladesh COMPREHENSIVELY on Friday! Only then will Pakistan have a chance of appearing in the final and that too is dependant on the run rate statistics!

Hmm… now how many times have we encountered such similar scenarios?

How do we manage to get to this point every other time? Beats me!

So take out your prayer mats people. Pakistan Cricket team needs your prayers. The players, it seems, are no longer effective!

*chuckles*

A peace deal with the likes of Taliban is futile. It has not worked in the past and it can not work in the present circumstances either. It was a matter of time when the democratic government of Pakistan, threw back the responsibility on the shoulders of Pakistan Army.

Pakistan is at War ladies and gentlemen! But then again, it has been for quite some time now, in case you did not notice!

I’m sorry but wasn’t it this very government that was against the ‘answer bullet by a bullet’ approach in the first place? Aren’t the same people who chanted about peace and dialogue now taking a back seat and have given empowering control to the Chief of Army Staff, General Kiyani?

Why?

Don’t you democratic people have any thing up your sleeve to resolve this matter any differently than the President was trying to do for the past few years? Or have you really gone as low and shallow as putting the military in the fore-front and divulging yourself from all responsibility whatsoever?

The recent decision to give control back to the Armed forces has not only exposed the weak infrastructure of the coalition government, but has also proved once and for all that those in power are more concerned with their personal gains and the yearning for revenge than seriously addressing a matter of national security.

Nawaz is dreaming of being the Prime Minister again by ousting Musharraf. He has nothing but the hell bent will of a leech to suck the country and its people dry by siding with a politically motivated lawyer movement and promoting rage and anger amongst Pakistanis. Zardari wants to hear Jiye Bhutto echoing from the very walls of the Presidency. The lawyers might as well shed off their black coats because it has been quite some time since they have done any thing related to upholding the law or presenting the needful in courts. They should either form a political party of their own, or at least make idols out of Iftikhar and Aitezaz and start worshiping them with blind folds and high quality ear-plugs on.

Who cares about Taliban and that they are advancing towards the provincial capital? No one. So you do what you politicians know best to do. Put the weight on the Army so that when things screw up, you can show the world and your stupid sympathizers that hey, our hands were clean all along. It was the wretched and evil army that actually is to blame. Then seduce our oh so innocent masses through an oh so patriotic media and try to get yet another COAS thrown out, only to be replaced by a new one.

Kargil revisited! Convenient isn’t it?

Not only is the might of the military being fully used, but at the same time, the coalition government is trying its best to put the mask of a ‘purely civilian law-enforcement action’!

The current operation of ‘cleansing’ Peshawar and its suburbs from these insurgents is nothing more than a played up ploy to please the Americans. NATO has been disappointed for quite some time now over how loose a hand Islamabad has given to Taliban. United States has been mounting immense pressure lately as well. In the light of failed talks, the inability of the government to effectively mediate a peace deal, and the pressure from a super-power, our politicians have done exactly what they are notorious for: Use the Army. Mr. Rehman Malik needs to have him self evaluated by a shrink! How does this operation deserve the civil law enforcement tag when the Chief of Army Staff has been given all-in-all control. Who are you kidding Mr. Malik?

We are at war, there is no question about it. But this particular show of force is only to make Washington smile at Pakistan a bit more and pat Islamabad on the head and say, ‘good boy’!

Right! Sure. Absolutely!

It’s probably too hard for the government in Islamabad to confess their failures lest they get a backlash from the media that laps their hand right now. Don’t you worry though. This media seems to be loyal if you have paid it well… irregardless of what you do.

Now that Mehsud has declared that the peace talks stand suspended, we can expect another string of panic and chaos in major cities… just like before. And the bulk of casualties, I assure you, will be our Armed Forces. The very tyrants whom you hate. The very brutal, inhuman, and unpatriotic bunch of goons in uniform who for God knows what reason have decided to put themselves in harms way just so you can sleep in peace, only to wake up next morning and organize a long march against them.

THIS is what and who a Pakistani soldier fights to defend these days Ladies and Gents!

Such a pity…

The threat to our national security could not get chiller than this!

A news post in the Daily Times says: “The Taliban are no longer at the gates of Peshawar, they’re inside, making their presence felt in the largest city in the NWFP. “

Fazlur Rehman, the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam chief has warned that it is only a matter of few months when news of the entire NWFP slipping out of the government’s control will come.

News is pouring on about para-military commandos being deployed on border with Khyber Agency to protect the provincial capital from a Taliban attack. Their numbers are said to be around 1,500. Yet another anti-terrorist force of 7,000 men is being raised to counter the creeping insurgency.

Meanwhile, the government, all too busy with their long marches and restoration of so called democracy and justice, is lingering on with their useless peace talks with Taliban. Right! Let me get this straight. The very people you have a peace talk with then go back and burn ski resorts like one in Malam Jabba to ground or execute some 20 odd peace activists. The very same people are roaming around in Peshawar, brandishing their AK-47s and threatening people to follow their distorted and abnormal version of Islam… or face the consequences. The local police is helpless and slowly but surely, Taliban are gaining control. The amount of time that they buy with talks, they focus on multiplying their numbers. So sad that it is ever so hard for our public or politicians to see.

I wonder everyday why there is never a single protest against the Taliban? Why are our oh-so-patriotic students, lawyers, politicians, and journalists alike not raising hue and cry about an enemy that threatens the very existence of the country and is knocking on our door steps? Are they part of the consipiracy too? Or are they being led blindly by a few who are using them to gain their personal goals. Such a shame.

Let me tell all those upholders of democracy and justice. Be as it may, your ’struggles’ for Pakistan’s freedom will be like flushed toilet material if Taliban start roaming in Islamabad! Forget your democracy and justice and media then. Because neither do they believe in legal courts, nor do they believe in your governmental setup and they certainly do not appreciate the media! So you can kiss all your efforts goodbye!

Open your eyes! See the big picture and if you want to protest, put this on your agenda too! Otherwise, pretty soon, Taliban will deny you the right to protest either!

Got this in a forwarded email today from a friend.

Three year old Madelyn Eaves was able to get rescuers to her mother with the help of a little song and her mother’s BlackBerry.

Jessica Eaves taught the song “911 green” to her daughter in case of emergencies. When she collapsed from a condition called vasovogal syncope, Madelyn dialed 911 and hit the green call button, then was able to direct dispatchers to the house using descriptions of her surroundings. The year before, Madelyn had gotten help with another little song, “green green green.” When Jessica collapsed, Madelyn repeated the steps, which called the last person Jessica had dialed and allowed them to get help.

It’s certainly nice to know BlackBerries are so easy to use, and a very ingenious idea from a dedicated mother.

Samad Khurram: A PUBLIC HERO? OR A CHILDISH ACTIVIST KNOWN FOR SPREADING HATRED TOWARDS THE COUNTRY, SENDING DEATH THREATS AND EXPLICIT EMAILS TO ALL WHO DISAGREE WITH HIS VIEWS?

IS HE A SAINT OR THE DEVIL’s PUPPET?

They say controversy follows fame.

They also say that your past can come back in your face one day!

The same might become true for Samad khurram in the eyes of many who believe it was unbecoming of him to snub a US Ambassador in public by rejecting the award (with no monetary value attached) and yet accept the Harvard scholarship.

Without sharing any judgements of my own on whether it was right or wrong of him to do so, I cite below some recent news about Mr. Khurram whereby another (ugly) part of his life has come to light. 

After his recent act of defiance which was hailed by many as ’brave’ and ‘patriotic’, Samad Khurram is now being accused of stalking a Lahore-based female lawyer by the name of Yasmeen Ali. Samad allegedly sent life-threatening emails to Yasmeen and as she shares the details of the events, it gets to be known that Harvard was indeed notified of his threatening motives and a certain ‘action’ was taken against him by the university as well. Evidently, Samad and another Pakistani national by the name of Aqil Sajid went as far as impersonating Miss Yasmeen Ali and posted sexually explicit posts on various forums/blogs as well.  

Another news post titled: The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, talks about how Samad has been setting up fake email ids to send offensive emails using‘an unusually grotesque and filthy language to any Pakistani citizen who happened to disagree with their views on the lawyers and the President.’

Yet another news post by a Pakistani student who was also at the award ceremony with Samad Khurram states that it was very disrespectful of Samad to do what he did. She writes:

Calling the president of the country unconstitutional on an educational forum is not right, as many may disagree with this stance [including me].

As for the U.S, we disagree with their policies, we are angered by their response towards Pakistan, but we do realize that their education is amongst the best in the world, and that is why we still go to that country to get it. We should not forget that Mohammad Ali Jinnah himself got his education in the very Britain against which he later fought for independence. Our hostility is towards their policies, not their education, and if we want to give ourselves half a chance against them, we need to embrace this education, and not construct walls which will hinder future prospective students from going abroad.

There is an endless array of news and posts about him that have surfaced recently. Some I have quoted above. Following are some of of the most prominent ones I came across:

Harvard Probed Samad Khurram For Stalking A Lahore Lady Lawyer
Laila Sohail: We’re No Less Patriotic Than Samad Khurram
Blog Politics: Lady Gets Abused For Showing The Other Side Of Samad Khurram Story
A ‘Roots’ Student, An Italian Lady On Snubbing Anne Patterson
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly
 

As mentioned earlier, I shall refrain from sharing my personal opinion on these recent findings. I leave it to you, the WeCite Blog readers, to decide that in the light of these accusations from his past, does he deserve to be a hero or not.

I’ll tell ya, there is tons of bizzare and strange things happening in the world right this very moment. For instance, did you hear about the World’s Biggest Coffin: the death-theme restaurant inside a 65ft long coffin? OR maybe you didn’t know about the latest fad in prayers amongst hindus: praying for an Obama victory!

Here are some of the weirdest and the most wonderful things happening around planet Earth lately:

Italian architect plans the world’s 1st ‘building in motion’ in Dubai

China: ‘quake lake’ to become tourist attractions

Online community bans ugliness

The G W Bush sewage plant

Pilots in India often fail alcohol tests

Mobile phone battery dead? Try dancing!

Don’t whistle at the builders. Girls warned!

 If you know of any bizzare or out of the ordinary news happening around you or elsewhere, post a link in the comments and we’ll add it to the post for everyone to view.

Come June 23rd, and the cricket frenzy will once again hit Asia like a thunder-bolt!

This time… It will be the ASIA CUP 2008!

Although the line-up of contestants for the glory include minows like Hong Kong, U.A.E and the underdogs Bangladesh… the real battle is a three way, horns-locking, rampage of the titans: Pakistan - India - Sri Lanka!

By no means will this event be over-shadowed by the heat waves engulfing the host nation Pakistan these days. Players and fans alike will push the thought of sweating profusely under the sun aside and draw battle lines in this epic tournament.

On paper, all three are equally balanced and a force to reckon with. Unfortunately, by sheer coincidence, the three giants are all missing their front line attackers as well!

Pakistan will have to do with the absence of controversial duo: Muhammad Asif and Shoaib Akhtar as both of them are in quite a bit of mess already as far as their career as professional cricketers is concerned.

India on the other hand will be missing Zaheer Khan and S Sreesanth sorely who will not be a part of the Asia Cup squad. Also sitting out would be ace spinner, Harbhajan Singh, who is currently serving a 5-match ban. As for their batting depertment, they will have to do with the master blaster, Sachin Tendulkar, who is currently nursing a groin injury.

Finally, Sri Lanka are without their experienced L Malinga who has been out of the squad since March this year due to injuries.  

 So there you have it! Let the games begin!

Some ineresting facts about Asia Cup 2008:

-> This will be the first Asia Cup ever to be hosted in Pakistan.

-> Originally, the 9th version of the Cup was supposed to take place in 2006, however packed international cricket schedules did not allow for the tournament to be held.

Our very own, Selina Haider, was recently interviewed by the Pak Spectator website who have a knack of reaching out to bloggers and writers every where and giving them a chance to speak out in the form of an interview.

Congratulations Seli! We’re all proud of you

Have you seen the new INCREDIBLE HULK that is being shown around in major Pakistani cinemas? You think its THE thing eh? Perhaps you’re right but it’s still not making enough dough when it’s put to the test at the US Box Office!

GET SMART, the new movie starring former wrestler, The Rock (The Game Plan, The Mummy Returns), Anne Hathaway (The Devil Wears Prada, Havoc), and Steve Carell (The Office, Evan Almighty) has outnumbered other giants like The HULK, Kung Fu Panda and so on. Currently, in its opening week, the movie took over $ 39 million in sales!

Here are the top 5:

1- Get Smart [$ 39 Million]

2- Kung Fu Panda [$ 21.7 Million]

3- The Incredible Hulk [$ 21.6 Million]

4- The Love Guru [$ 14 Million]

5- The Happening [$ 10 Million]

Read this Daily Times news. Aren’t our leaders getting a tad bit carried away with BB’s 55th Birth Anniversary? What will be next? Renaming Islamic republic of Pakistan to Bhutto Republic of Pakistan?

Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani on Friday announced that Islamabad airport, Rawalpindi General Hospital (RGH) and Murree Road would be named after former Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairwoman. Islamabad International Airport will now be called Benazir Bhutto International Airport, the RGH Benazir Bhutto Hospital and Murree Road Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Road, said a statement issued by the prime minister’s secretariat

Now isn’t this a great way to advertise recruitment services? Maybe Rozee should get inspiration from these ideas too!

About two months ago, BLUR studios came up with this brilliant idea of making a cgi clip featuring Spiderman, Iron Man, and the Hulk!

I don’t know if the real motive behind this was to either promote upcoming flicks of these super heroes or to promote comics per say or to give us a taste of what The Avengers movie might look like or to market the video game Marvel: Ultimate Alliance! It could be all of them combined or none!

But one thing is for certain!

This short clip kicks ass! Spiderman’s 4 minute or so on this clip is a million times cooler than his three movies combined! Iron Man looks awesome and as for Hulk, this has got to be the best appearance of the incredible green ever!

If this is how they are going to make the Avenger movie then believe you me, it would be the super-hero movie of the century!

Watch them in all their glory below:

Pakistan will issue special stamps and souvenir posters tomorrow to mark the 55th birth anniversary of slain former Prime Minister, Benazir Bhutto.  Sindh government has already declared Saturday to be a public holiday as it is her home province.

The Rs 4 stamps and Rs 20 posters will be available at post offices across the country from June 21, Bhutto’s birth anniversary.

PPP workers, led by party Chairman and Bhutto’s widower Asif Ali Zardari, will donate blood to mark the day. The party has issued strict instructions that there should be no celebrations and cake cutting to mark the anniversary.

The main function will be held at Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi, where Bhutto was assassinated after addressing an election rally on December 27, 2007.

Everyone knows who Juggan Kazim is. She’s a hot favorite among guys. She’s a model, a mother, and a media personality.

But do you know Jay Kazim?

Maybe… or not!

If you do then hey good for you. If you don’t then don’t feel left out because this year you’ll get to see her in a re-release of an Anglo-Indian production called Sweet Destiny. Actually the movie has been around since 2005 but back then it was titled Pink Ludoos! Does that ring any bells?

Jay or Juggan Kazim (as most of us commonly know of her as) plays the leading lady in the movie as a free-spirited and seemingly rather quite horny girl who ends up getting pregnant with not one… not two… but triplets! Eat that Juno! And the story goes as it typically does that she gets abandoned by her family and she is left on her own to take care of the matter she has gotten her self in to on a hot and heavy night.

It’s funny. How come we never really heard about this so much? I think I found the answer myself when I viewed the trailer of Pink Ludoos. The opening scene is a car shaking violently with moans and groans in the background. Juggan and a guy are seen ‘getting in the mood’ for some ‘fun’.

A-HA!

I asked a few of my friends from here and there and one of them said she had seen the movie some years back and that it was simply idiotic a notion that it was compared to the likes of Bend It Like Beckham. ‘Just cuz Jay’s mom’s character is played by the same actress who played the mother’s role in BILB doesn’t mean it is in the same league’ she said over a chat session last night.

So our Juggan darling gets to jiggle in a car, smooch her way around and ends up with triplets! (I know I am repeating the facts but I can’t get over the triplets part! It’s beginning to sound all too comical. Did they think using three instead of one child would give the movie more ”weight’?

I don’t know from where to get my hands on Sweet Destiny. It’s prolly not yet available in Pakistan. Good luck wishing this one to be reeled in on Pakistani cinemas!

What is so special about a bright and young Pakistani student, studying at Harvard, coming in front of a large audience being covered by the national and international media and declare that he will not receive an award from a US ambassador as a sign of protest over the recent unprovoked attack against our Armed Forces inside Pakistan?

EVERYTHING!

Because what Samad has done is something that our politicians don’t have the guts to do in a million years! He stood strong and determined and in his own way snubbed the representative of the United States, calling their recent attack on Pakistani soil as that of a coward.

Bravo Samad! You have made us all proud. While our filthy politicians were too busy taking out long marches and seducing the masses with their political charms and speeches, you have paid homage to those who lost their precious lives by giving a resounding slap to the United States. You are the kind of people we need to lead us on… NOT the Zardaris or Musharrafs or Sharifs or Aitezazs or Iftikhars!

And such a pity that our so called free media conveniently forgot to highlight this story with the acknowledgement it rightly deserved! Nothing new on that front really. Dogs rarely bite the hand that feeds them you see *chuckles*

Please take a minute of your time to send an email to Samad at samadkhurram@gmail.com and congratulate him for his stance!

Thank you Samad. You have made us all proud!

UPDATE [21 June, 2008] One of our regular readers, lestat, was kind enough to provide us with a youtube link of the ceremony. Here’s presenting Samad Khurram’s much talked about stance…

PLEASE NOTE - This particular post on WeCite Blog concerns and deals only with Mr. Khurram’s stance on the recent attacks on Pakistani soldiers and bears no relation to his personal views and opinions on the current state of Pakistani affairs outside the scope of this incident. Readers are requested to keep this in mind and not confuse the two.

That we are running low on a true and honest leadership four our country is an old joke with the world. So no point hogging that subject. Have a laugh as you watch our media, our leaders and those who think they are leaders haggle for monopoly and move on to the next show.

Also running critically low is Diesel in Pakistan. Supplies across Pakistan have begun drying up, largely due to a squeeze caused by a payments crisis, and some 15 per cent of outlets in the country have stopped selling the fuel.

The worst affected is the North West Frontier Province (NWFP) - but in this case the crisis has been caused by the smuggling of diesel into Afghanistan, where its price is much higher than in Pakistan.

So you think it is time to trade in your toyota corollas for factory fitted CNG cars yet?

It is finally here! We’ve talked about we… we’ve dreamt about it… and now we have it!

The cyber world has been tingling with excitement and anticipation ever since the people at Mozilla started spilling bits and pieces of information on what to expect in the ‘revolutionary’ installment of the sizzling Firefox 3.0 web browser.

It claims to be two to three times faster than Firefox 2.0 (which we all know was quite a speedster itself) and seven times faster the Internet Explorer! Some reports say it is suppose to load pages in or under 60 miliseconds! Whoa! It’s available in over 50 languages and boast of around about 15,000 improvements! Built on the powerful new Gecko 1.9 platform, Firefox 3.0 is a force to reckon with and as some of the people who have used it so far told me: ‘It can chew and spit IE and Opera even before they can say World Wide Web’!

And that just isn’t it! Some of the exciting features to look forward to include the ‘Awesomebar’ that will change the way you navigate bookmarks and history. It has a state of the art malware and phishing protection built in for a safe and secure online experience with its one-click site-ID information! Talk about customaization and we know with Firefox that the sky is the limit! With this new baby, the just might venture till the stars! *chuckles*

Islamabad Metroblogs has this hilarious title for the Media-Sponsored ‘long march’ that happened this weekend!

Long March Ends: Tu Phir Mulk Bach Gaya?

One word: Perfect! *chuckles*

The so called 5 km (give or take a few meters) long sea of marchers from all walks of life mostly included tired and frustrated men and women of our country who knew how useless and politically driven this obsolete practice of long marches is and had to suffer being stuck in the middle of and behind these brainwashed pawns!

Good going!     

A charged-up Asif Ali Zardari pumped his fists in the air aPPs he declared that it won’t be long when the Presidency will echo with the slogans of ‘Jiye Bhutto’. The crowd cheers… Pakistan is not mentioned.

Was this a subtle hint for President Musharraf that his days in the President’s seat are numbered? That is not the prime concern here. Presidents come and go. What really is disappointing is that the current government is more interested in stamping their authority all across Pakistan rather than doing some thing substantial for the country itself.

Our nation has a sorry state to present as we are being led blindly to nowhere-land by corrupt politicians, politically motivated lawyers, and a sold out media that feeds on anarchy, sensationalism and chaos. 

Jiye Bhutto… Mian de naaray… Jiye Iftikhar… Go Musharraf Go… blah blah

Slogans is what we as a nation have reduced ourselves to. Slowly being driven to the point of self-destruction by the very people who have a proven record of sucking the country dry in their previous ‘rules’, we are holding a handful of individuals closer and higher than the country itself.

Where is Pakistan in all this?

The so called Long March (a pure media stint which, by the way, despite claims of over half a million could only gather a less than 50,000 crowd comprising mostly of the poorest of our countrymen and paid-crowds) brought the capital to a stand still for three days in a row. Was it for Pakistan? Absolutely not.

As recent as a day or two ago when Afghanistan’s President Karzai stood on a global platform and threatened to send his forces in to Pakistan, I did not hear of any protests or marches by these so called ‘pro-Pakistani’ leaders and parties to show their resentment. And I’m sorry but calling in Afghanistan’s minister over a cup of tea and telling him ‘puppu yaar tang na kar’ is NOT a strong response!

Our current leadership will fall mute over a threat to the country’s solidarity but they will shout loud and long for bestowing Nishan-e-Haider for their slain (not martyred thank you) leader Benazir Bhutto! no disrespect to the departed but are you sniffing cow-dung PPP? Have you even looked back and seen the people who have been honored with this accolade? You are a certified lunatic to assume that the likes of Benazir can even graze the level that the likes of Rashid Minhas or Major Aziz Bhatti Shaheed achieved!

And what a pathetic story our current media is. Blinded (or paid in bulk) beyond any rationalism, I didn’t hear any of these ’honorable’ journalists and critics raise a storm about over-writing ‘Pakistan First’ with ‘Jiye Bhutto’

Bravo Pakistanis. Bravo my dear politicians and media!

The likes of you need another coup… and this time… it better be a bloody one!
