Scribbled

  • Desi Thetas is a type of problematic students, who, in a class, try to create a feeling of inferiority and mediocrity for others. Here in our class, we have a real Greek' theta from Greece. He is not as problematic as our desi thetas but enjoys the habit of wasting time at the end of lecture by posing irrelevant questions.
  • I have started believing that my M.Sc course is based on the theories of abstract and absurd. Meanwhile Original Greek Theta is quite content.
  • Tolulope, my Nigerian flatmate is on packed tin fish since yesterday. Result: A bad odour of raw fish in the kitchen and an open window.
  • And i am on carrot and coffee cakes, one per day on alternate basis, and this craving is likely to end soon.
  • I have developed the habit of drawing arrows on the paper with sharp pointing heads. When i write something, sometimes, i repeat it in my mind and draw an arrow. Line, a hollow triangle and then filling the shape merely takes a second.
  • This post was originally written here. Absurd theories don't work for me.
  • Tomorrow is a plan for a picnic that was postponed twice before. Just received an email from a friend - it seems everybody is ready to go.

Implausible Theories

These days it's a new fad to talk about implausible theories, predict the unusual, show off the wisdom and understanding of current affairs. So here in this post i would also present the same old things you hear in your daily life:


1. Media e.g Geo TV, has a tendency to become an invincible mafia in order to badly influence the lives of common people - the public; sympathetically know as Mazloom Awam. Their reporting techniques have created an addiction which compels people to stick to this channel. Mostly they talk rubbish and try to waste time in reports e.g:


Reporter: Ji main is waqt Islamabad -- (realizes mistake and starts again): Islami Jamhoria Pakistan kay Darul-Hakomat Islamabad main Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry Kay Ghar Kay Bahir Judges Colony main sarak per mojod hoon.


Hamari Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudh ry say Baat nahi ho saki, Lakin zara'ey ka kahna hay kah Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry ab kisi say mulaqat nahi kar ray hain.


Khalid in Studio: Acha batain kah Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry nay mulakatain kiyon tarQ keen? Notice the Qaaf in their accent.


Reporter: Kiyon k Chief Justice Janab Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry blah blah


And they spend at-least five to ten minutes in this drama. And majority of their reports are same sort of crap with little or no useful information.


2. In a country like Pakistan, where the establishment of governments and appointments on higher ranks in army is done on the directives of USA, do you believe that media is Independent and is not under their influence?


3. In the past, USA used to influence governments alone, but today they have a control over media as well to distract the public, change their beliefs and hence in return more instability in society. They create an environment, a hype, a frenzy through electronic media and emotionally involve the public in it.


4. Sometimes, media overpowers government and they call it Independence and Rule of Media. Again the strings are pulled from somewhere else. How media could become such a big giant? Do we have saints in Electronic Media who believe in 'Truth-in-Everything' mantra? Certainly not.


5. People came out on roads for the support of a judiciary drama supported by political parties but they have never protested against inflation this way. In the past few days how many times media, government and Nawaz league have addressed these issues? Rather, still they are talking about Integrity of their parties, Governor Raj and Constitution.



All for now. Next post would be on some other absurd theory.

Sunday

Opening of another post with an appropriate title with some random thoughts:


Bin Laden
  • Osama Bin Laden has released another video. In future he would be famous for releasing video tapes and messages on websites no one knows about except FBI. And we hear about it on CNN.

Long March

  • Political drama will end on a settlement that has already been made. Drama and Long March is staged for public now.
  • In this drama, government ensured that all its allies get benefit from this situation, so Geo Tv was banned.
  • People are madly blogging about it. twitter updates, sms, live chats etc, these pi#¤&% up bloggers don't have courage to come out on the roads, rather they just chant slogans "Rule of Law, Rule of Law". They can't bear any criticism, they reject it and avoid the truth. Folks, don't talk rubbish, act like a man despite typing ,twittering and approving selected comments. People with dual faces. You can visit Teeth Maestro. Google it if you wish, i don't want to link him here.

Universal Healers


  • All the crap that we used to see on mIRC and in Pakistani rooms of yahoo chat has shifted to blogs in recent years. This place is quite a mess now. We have many universal healers around who act the same way people do on IRC chat: Hi asl? 26/m/lhr, ok bye. By now, you might have known what type of crap that is.
  • It is interesting that just like professional beggars, these universal healers are seen only in a fixed circle of bloggers and they don't cross boundaries. Sometimes they act like a jester to cheer up the writer, or they practice cheap psychotherapy techniques learned from traditional jokes, stories and friends. They always assure the desperate writer: Apnay App Per Yaqeen Karin. App Kisi say Kam Nahi. But their hidden message is : Mayra Bhi Yaqeen Karo Salma. Search mera jehan + wordpress, you will find one such example.
  • It is very interesting that those Universal Healers don't talk to other healers or other guys. They are never seen on their blogs as well.
  • They are universally accepted and welcomed after the elapse of a certain period in which they are ignored by the blog owner, but frequent visits and comments pay off in the end, and their nick gradually becomes familiar for regular visitors of a certain blog.
  • In essence, they are real fuel of blogging. Blogs would not get any comments or traffic without them and his whole industry will come to an halt.


Aunty Agony Ka Blog


  • Three months ago i found the blog of Aunty Agony Every other story on her blog is a love affair of a boy and a girl and she concludes every post with her pea sized brain. (She must be thankful to me for i haven't written pea with double e here)
  • She is afraid that every other woman in this world is after her husband. And after every certain incident, her husband assures her, "There is nothing like that honey!" And her comments for readers go something like : "Yes, with my influence on him so strong, how could it be.
  • Her post are more like a Teen Aurtain - Teen Kahaneyaan than anything else. She should change the title of her blog to Aik Aurat - Bohat Sari Kahaniyan

Miss 'Future of Blogging in Pakistan'

  • Another interesting character who sends a questionnaire to bloggers and asks them to pen down their personal experiences about blogging. Now the real funny aspect is that even after so many years of blogging in Pakistan, she asks a question : What is the future of Blogging in Pakistan?
  • Miss FoBiP, blogging isn't a new thing in today's internet era. If it's your lack of ability to devise a new questionnaire contact the person who wrote you the first one, he would do it for the second time as well. If he/she refuses, then just look for some other universal helpers. They can provide a new question paper. Forget this future veeuture stuff. Think about Long March, Judiciary and Rule of Law.

'He He' Blogger

  • I doubt hehe had some psychological problems or hehe had been playing gudda guddi ka khel in his childhood. You would have met him somewhere. His comments are short, start like: he he, and he just tries to mark his presence only. he he.
  • 'He He Blogger' apna Paygham Daytay hain: 'Naqaloon Say Hoshyaar - Comment Perhanay say Pehlay Mayra Signature Zaroor Perh Lain, He He' If you haven't met him yet, i am sure very soon you will.

Rowing for Hope

Hi folks! Meet Paul, just 25 years old, he is in North Atlantic Ocean for last sixty-one days on a solo rowing adventure, for a noble cause of raising funds for cancer research. Rowing twelve hours a day in six two-hours shifts each and four snacks between breakfast and dinner, he is following a tough schedule in a very disciplined manner while he is off the shore!


Using state of the art technology for clean drinkable water to modern communication systems for staying connected with people on land and to update his blog daily, main source of power is solar cells - no wonders!


That is a very interesting adventure. He has a site Row for Hope and a blog Solo Row (i am glad that he is on blogspot!). Do check out the links. And don't forget to have a look at his FAQs page too! And how did i come across it? Just to kill the boredom, I watch CNN videos with much interest these days!


And wow, my fingers on keyboard run quite fast - it gives a good feeling! I still remember when the very first time i typed using a keyboard and back then i had to find every single letter carefully!! It was some fifteen years ago!


Dear only two readers of this blog, i am glad that you people still drop in, bring some more traffic with you! Certainly you would not like this blogger committing a blogicide due to a maximum hit rate of two per day! Add one to it if you want to count me as well!

3.22 pm, Tomorrow i have a class at 11, so no worries! Good night.

Books?

What the heck yar, i have to take an exam tomorrow but i don't feel like studying, i am tired.

ps: Interestingly, with exam just a few hours away, the exchange of group emails between course advisor and students is something new and i hope it'd gain some momentum. I too, sent a couple of emails with a few questions to get instant help and solutions early morning today. It is creating somewhat real fear we all associate with such situations. Either i am over confident this time or these goras, who asked for a copy of some missing notes in an email a couple of hours ago. Networking though emails at this crucial hour seems to be a blessing. I must find a twitter update box for blogger sidebar. Do you know something about it?

Better to get back to work now.
