Funny Or Die
Lot of people have questioned my choice of personal pictures which I have been uploading on facebook. Some feel it doesn’t go with my image. Firstly, I wonder what my image is. I don’t know why a totally stuck-up reformer (not sure if I want to be called that) can’t laugh or put smiles on people’s faces. I feel that as a nation we have forgotten how to laugh. The state of things and media’s projection of it, has removed the very capacity to be light-hearted out of this nation’s soul.
All said and done, I stand by my comic side, and I feel quite proud of myself when I’m compared to Rowan Atkinson

Karachi University
Did a lecture on “Presentation, Communication, and Personality” at the Karachi University, last Saturday. Needless to say it was quite an experience talking to so many students. The most amazing part was that there were over a 120 girls, and only about 4 boys. Turns out that’s pretty much the gender ratio at our universities these days.

Google Knols Wikipedia
Google’s Knol is finally out of private beta. I “LOVE” wikipedia… but I like “Knol” even better. Wikipedia has claimed to “police” content, but we all know that it’s not always been very effective. Google has chosen the “moderated collaboration” model, which I think is much more effective. I agree that Wikipedia has been a source of “knowledge” and Google’s Knol could end up having a lot of noise, but it was really up to the reader to validate the information from other sources.

Hello world!
My database crashed. I’m sorry if you can’t see all messages. Will try to figure it out tomorrow morning. One little glitch and all your rambling is erased from memories. I guess that’s how fickle life is, and that’s how insignificant we are.

Hydro-4000 Car Fuel Efficiency
Hydro-4000 promises to be a major step towards car fuel efficiency with almost 60% saving in fuel prices. I wonder when it will reach Pakistan. Also, I wonder if it would work with Petrol/Diesel Generators, considering we burn more fuel in generators than we do in cars 
Hydro-4000 supposedly uses Hydrogen to get your spark plugs kicking, instead of a mixture of air and gasoline. This creates a cleaner and more efficient burning environment. Channel-5 did some tests on their cars and here’s the video.

People’s Resistance Movment
Many people have started wondering what I have against Dr. Awab, and why am I constantly attacking his cause. I just want to clarify, that both Dr. Alvi Senior and Dr. Alvi Junior are personal friends of mine, and we just bounce “gup shup” off of each other. So, if any of you were hoping for some more interesting theory behind all this, I’m sorry to disappoint you.
With that said, I still stand, very vocally, against the People’s Resistance Movement, especially since I noticed their logo is like they’re damning “sending lanat” to the whole nation. But then that seems appropriate. No? Oooops… here I go again :-).

K.E.S.C. Rip Off
I received my K.E.S.C. bills today, and then I read the newspapers. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet. The following clips are from today’s and yesterday’s newspapers. I really suggest all Karachiites read all images carefully. I love this democratic payment of a few billion Rupees to KESC in “subsidy“. This is such a sad democratic slap for Karachi’s residents. I wonder when the People’s Resistance Movement will organize a protest against this horrible act of dictatorship.

Did Paulette Dean Daly have an affair with Roger Clemens?
Why do we like scandals so much? Now it’s Paulette Dean Daly, wife of professional golfer John, who is the latest alleged liaison of former Major League Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens. Imagine if everyone’s private “liaisons” could be looked into, what tales that would tell. Oh well. I guess we all get some perverse pleasure in seeing others get caught out, while we forget we have enough skeletons in our own closet. Why can’t He Who Is Without Sin Cast The First Stone?
