Nominate Edhi for Nobel Peace Prize 2007
There is an effort around Pakistan to strongly put forth a petition to nominate Abdus Sattar Edhi for the 2007 Noble Peace Prize. Edhi simply needs no introduction and little can I say in his praise will do justice for the man who has lived his entire life for the poor in Pakistan. We have…

Cricket Bloggers of Pakistan

Series-levelling victory by Pakistan at Port Elizabeth
Guest Post: Dr. Haroon Qazi I would rate Pakistan as the most unpredictable team in the history of world cricket. Shoaib’s first innings spell and Inzamam’s 92 not out were out standing, and not to forget a superb spell by Asif in both innings. Although the team has match winning players, who can on their…

Silencing Saddam
Its been barely two weeks since Saddam Hussein was sent to the gallows. There is not a soul on the earth who would have been sympathetic with this murderer but strangely after watching the ‘assassination’ haphazardly orchestrated by the American forces he may have potentially become a hero.

Enlightened Moderation – My Ass !!!
Over a number of years photographers have captured stunning pictures which have later turned into defining pictures for the year. This picture in my opinion quite easily summarize the moment of truth for the seven year regime of the Enlightened Moderation era enforced by Dictator Musharraf.
