Unsurprisingly the same, modern Turkey was now up in…

  • Free Push Email for your Mobile Phone

    Ever since the introduction of those hideous & ghastly looking Blackberry devices namely the model 7230 which was the first unit introduced by Mobilink in Pakistan a few years back, I used to hear stories that the device alone contributed to a number of wreaked marriages simply because the work email came home destroying any…

  • I still love Pakistan, Do You?

    Barely four days left for the 60th anniversary of our beloved nation, but it seems that many citizens are just not motivated enough to celebrate this milestone.

  • Teeth Maestro v3.0

    Barely over three years back on July 6th 2004 was the release of the first ever post made by this blogger on the world wide web. Three years seems like a long time, but it has been fun. This fad started off like just one of those geeky itches, an attempt to explore the latest…

  • FascistArmy.org Website Blocked in Pakistan

    It is a fact that those romantic days of ‘Enlightened Moderation‘ a key phrase used to disguise the term Martial Law by Pervaiz Musharraf are a thing of the past.

    The moment anyone hears of DCMA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) one suspects some issue related with copyright infringement.

So in short it…

  • Orkuting in Pakistan

    There is little doubt that Pakistanis simply love to Orkut and I would not be wrong to state that Orkut.com is probably one of the most visited sites from Pakistan second only to search engines like Google and Yahoo. I personally have been orkuteering since 2004 when there was not much awareness in Pakistan about…
