Black & White Trouble
Ryan and Leo are the hottest dudes in the world today. They’re twin brothers born in Germany. One’s black and the other is white. I can’t help but think of this song.
Ebony and ivory live together in perfect harmony
Side by side on my piano keyboard, oh lord, why dont we?
We all know that people are the same where ever we go
There is good and bad in evryone,
We learn to live, we learn to give
Each other what we need to survive together alive

Bangalore Blasts
7-July-2008 7 low intensity blasts hit Pakistan’s largest and most important city, Karachi.
25-July-2008 7 low intensity blasts have hit India’s I.T. capital of Bangalore.
Is Bangalore becoming a terror capital?
I know bombs are a bad thing, but I wish press and media would go easy on declaring cities “terror capitals”? Pakistan, and Karachi in particular, have suffered terribly because of these hasty claims.

Personality
People often ask me to define my “Personality Quotient” theory. I don’t think any man could have done a better job at it then one of my greatest heroes, Nelson Mandela when he said ““A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.”
Personality is emotion used intelligently, and intelligence used with emotion and empathy. Personality Quotient for me is the “impact” of one’s personality.

Freedom

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.

Smoking in public
I can not understand why people come to decent restaurants and smoke. It is really quite pathetic. I wish Pakistani restaurants, at least, get the sense to go smoke-free.
I must commend Avari Towers in Karachi to make all public areas smoke free. Just for this I think I will make it my regular hang-out. Kudos to the new general manager Gordon James, from Scotland, to take the step. Funny how we learn all the filth from the failures of industrialized nations but make no effort to learn from their successes and achievements.
Three cheers for Avari Hotels, Karachi.
