Arfa Kareem – May this nation do not forget you
January 20th, 2012You don’t need to be a doctor to save a life
December 10th, 2011
“You don’t need to be a doctor to save a life“. This morning out of nowhere I read this line and that instantly reminded me the part of the verse number 32 of chapter 5 (Surat Al-Mai’dah) that says, “And if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the whole humanity”. It makes serving others and saving in order to save lives of the others a divine duty of us all. During the days of busyness with my dissertation and all I collected a great pile of unread emails, last night I came across to an email that was introduction of save life project. Since morning, I am trying to gain more information on this project.
How Technology can change life of Madrasah Students
August 4th, 2011
I have been of the opinion that Madrasahs (seminaries) can be the best NGOs and more than a year old post of mine shows my opinion over this part of our society (here). Being a Madarasah student in the past I know that there is a cushion for something productive to be used in the leasure time that students at seminaries have. Learning Quran is indeed one great thing but learning Quran along with gaining the know how of the latest updates that are taking place in the world can be helpful to the Madrasah students. Thanks to facebook I came accross to the following video that is showing that Technology can change life of a Madrasah Student.

Time for G+ing with Google+
July 2nd, 2011
Social media is one major part of my ongoing MSC Dissertation and therefore I have to keep an eye on the things going around. Two days back something big happened when highly anticipated Google+ came into scene and turned into wild fire. Almost everyone on the online world was talking about it. I believe it might be the only day in the history when such massive number of invitations spread around the globe. Google+ is not available for general public right now therefore one can jump into this ride only if someone receives an invite. I am thankful to Mr. Badar Khushnood, Country Representative of Google in Pakistan, for the invite. It took me sometime to make a profile on it and to have my hands on, because of it being over capacity, that shows the kind of fame it gained in no time.
Pakistan Day, Men in Green, and Olfrute
March 23rd, 2011
It is a Green morning, that is what I was thinking this morning while I was looking out of my window when the colours of spring were all over the trees across the road. They were green and dancing with the air, so I was not alone to enjoy and celebrate Pakistan Day today. Yes, its 23rd March and the biggest feature of the day, for many people, is the quarter final of ICC Cricket World Cup where Pakistan is playing against West Indies, former 2 time world champions and known as black windstorm. It is an important match and all the best wishes for the men in Green. However, there is a significance of this day in our history. 71 years ago, our elders decided what their goal is and how they will gain it, it was given the name Pakistan Resolution out of sarcasm but it was accepted with open arms by the Muslims of this region.
