Reprise
December 18th, 2009 | Written by GuestNow it’s time to wake up
October 23rd, 2009 | Written by SadafThere was a time when we needed a separate homeland, a nation, an area we could practice our religion, our beliefs and our culture. We needed a homeland at where we can proudly say that we are independent. Our forefathers sacrificed their lives, their interest to get us such a place where we could live independently. » Read more: Now it’s time to wake up

The fate of Margalla Towers
August 1st, 2009 | Written by Sadaf
Unusual situations raise many questions in one’s mind that why this happened. One such question rose in every mind after the earth quake that struck Pakistan on 8th October, 2005 leaving approximately 75000 dead and as many as 106,000 received injuries. The earthquake that registered a moment magnitude of 7.6 Richter scale started at 8:53 AM and lasted for approximately 6 minutes. The capital of Pakistan messed up along with Balakot and many other cities of Pakistan. The earth quake was so strong that it made people very depressed and sad. The earthquake brought massive destruction in the northern parts of the country specially Kashmir. Same happened here in Islamabad in the Margalla towers. The building collapsed just like a thin wall of sand.
The question here is unanswered, that why the posh apartments vanished like this? Most people answer this question that it was Allah’s will, no doubt all happen with His will but we cannot leave the people who are responsible for this on this basis. The federal minister of religious affairs of that time said that towers were declared dangerous 10 months before the earth quake but the residents were not ready to vacate it. They gave the reason that they had bought it for so much money.
The main person behind this all is » Read more: The fate of Margalla Towers

Family has to be the up most major downside of living away, especially if most of your family are from Pakistan. From personal experience I can say missing family is the worst part, and reminiscing over memories from the past.
A benefit may be that Pakistan is still a » Read more: Away from homeland
Solar Eclipse can heal, myth or truth?
July 25th, 2009 | Written by FawadWe are in the 21st century but still people believe in pathetic ( I call them Pathetic) norms. It is seen that the children who are not 100% physically fit are buried half into sand and exposed to the solar eclipse which, as the parents say, can eliminate their inabilities.
Same incident happened couple of days ago on the latest solar eclipse which is claimed to be the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century. Children were half buried into the sand in some parts of India and Pakistan.
Picture shows a girl burried in sand during the Solar Eclipse on July 22, 2009. The girl remained in the sand for about 90 minutes as reported by Dawn News.
Lets just not say whether its myth or truth, its the readers who decide.
