Sawanah e Umri: July 2006
http://randomrealism.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 20, 2006. Economist : Special Report on Pakistan. The economist published a 10-page special report. I've held the economist in a league of less biased publications, but was rather depressed to see the picture painted by the authors. Its mostly true from their perspective, but Jawwad Farid has a nice commentary here. Thats looks at things from a Pakistani's point of view. DesibacktoDesh a good blog to bookmark, url is here.

Sawanah e Umri: In the line of Fire
http://randomrealism.blogspot.com/2006/11/in-line-of-fire.html
Wednesday, November 29, 2006. In the line of Fire. Now has a detailed review on Pervez Musharraf 's. Book "In the line of Fire", highlighting common criticism and a brief synopsis of the book. What surprises me the most, is that I've often come across fellow Pakistanis who can argue for a half an hour during coffee table discussions, and then sheepishly admit that they haven't. Read the book yet and their facts are nothing but hearsay. For those of my braderi. Read the synopsis please. Here are my initial.

Sawanah e Umri: December 2005
http://randomrealism.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 23, 2005. I'm in Karachi now, and it took us 38 hours to get here. Here are details on the delays. Toronto - 3 hrs ( Plane wouldnt start). Manchester - 3 hrs (Re-fueling took forever). Lahore - 12 hrs (The pilot landed the plane in intense fog, but all flights were grounded as soon as we landed( I think he was from Lahore). So we spent most of the night playing 'dumb charades' and discussing random things with fellow strandees. Definitely a night to remember. Links to this post. It was n...

Wednesday, September 20, 2006. Off to another random post. 'Yakhni for dummies'. This time we'll talk about how to make Yakhni. I made some today for a buddy thats not doing too well.

Simple, isnt it? Links to this post. Monday, September 11, 2006. Stay tuned, more to come. Salt and...

Wednesday, November 30, 2005. So while we wait for Ali to share his Montreal experiences with us (along with other cool thoughts) , I thought I would share my thoughts-of-the-day. I heard yesterday that:. The UN called the Genocide in Darfur the 'worst humanitarian crisis' ever (this was before the Tsunami hit). 400,000 people have been killed. 25 millions have been displaced due to violence. 35 million are starving. Countless others have and still are being brutally raped. Links to this post. Breaking t...

http://randomrealism.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 25, 2007. There's been so much going on with Pakistan these days, that I completely forgot about my own blog! Mushy is back to his usual tactics, but finally there is somewhat of a resistance. Working with Dr Awab and other Proud Pakistanis at www.proud-pakistani.com. To protest (peacefully) against the mockery of justice in Pakistan, our petition. Currently has over 1000 signatures. Bob Woolmer was murdered, we got knocked out of the WC 2007. RIP Bob, and no other words on this subject.
