Vote for My Land Pakistan

November 19th, 2011

Finally Wait is over My Land Pakistan has been nominated in Pakistan Blog Awards 2011. Second most voted blog in its category last year has been nominated in the best social activist blog this year. Last year you people showed great support and made MLP the top visited voting profile and second most voted blog in the category. Not winning the award was not a big regret because the love and support you people showed is more important to me than an award. This year looking for the same support in fact I need more because of the business with my thesis I am not been able to take care of this blog and not been able to campaign for the votes as I should. I do not have any greed of an award but still taking part because of representation is must to know how good you are doing and how great others are. Another reason for taking part in these awards is the theme of the awards this year; Pakistan Blog Awards is celebrating the colour of Pakistan by showcasing the best work by Pakistanis contributed in the blogosphere.

Thank you Junoon for all the memories

October 15th, 2011

Past 48 hours have been among the worst of my life totally nerve testing to get out of this I followed my old tip – walk alone. I decided to walk to my workplace rather than using the regular way. On my way, listening to music suddenly some known voice hit my ears; “Yaro Yehi Dosti hay“. And that reminded me of something that I forgot – I can never forget Junoon but I forgot that I was supposed to write a post to junoon. My favourite rock band that use to entertain and inspire me during my childhood and early boyhood years, who tamed a junooni in me at the time I hardly could understand the soul of their songs. However, when I was grown enough my favourite band was not there anymore. It is true that Yaro yehi dosti hay qismat se jo mili hy (it is friendship that we have earned out of luck). But alas, it did not last long; Junoon broke up and left us with many memories.

My Land Pakistan is Dot Com Now

November 24th, 2010
My Land Pakistan has got its own Domain and now it is officially My Land Pakistan. Moved to the new domain, new space, and new look. All this was due for long time but finally it has been done. Well there are few changes that I think must be made with respect to the esthetics and outlook of the blog but the feelings, emotions, and the motive behind it is the same.

Who is Iqbal? (Geomentary – Iqbal Kaun)

November 10th, 2010

While I was putting my previous blog post here on My Land Pakistan, I was watching documentary about Allama Iqbal. Geomentry has done a good job by coming up with some of the aspects of Allama’s life that we have never known before. I believe it deserve to be part of My Land Pakistan Blog because it is one of a kind documentary about the poet of east and let us know who actually Allama Iqbal is.

Iqbal Wasn’t Selfish But We Are…

November 9th, 2010

It has been a freezing cold day and I was sitting in bank to see my personal banker. A boy came and sat beside me and got busy in filling some forms. “What is the date today?” a question-oriented voice hit my listening senses. I replied its November 9th. Boy suddenly responded, “Hay its Iqbal Day”. I smiled and nodded my head positively. It was pleasant for me to meet someone, who somehow remembers the importance of the date, here thousands of miles away from my land Pakistan.

Zulu’s Strange Journey

November 8th, 2010

Zulqarnain Haider the person who played key role in last game to make Pakistan win and he was the hero of the moment that day. The same Zulqarnain, I gave him name – Zulu, was missing today and as per his fb status, he is doing all this as a result of life threat he received. Apparently, it is a journey from UAE to UK but from the corner of the book, I am looking at whole story it is not. It is a journey that started from UK and now has reached to the point where the leading character of the story is back in England. No idea where this story is going take him now, if this all is going to be a new turn in his career or his career is over. Time will decide all this, but still there are many questions about what happened this morning.

Know Who to Blame

October 27th, 2010

Last night when I was going to sleep, I was afraid. No my result was not being announced this morning, I was afraid of a progress report. Still that was not my progress report as an individual however it was the progress report of us all as a nation. I am talking about the report of transparency international. The time I, wakeups the report was out in the news. My fear was gone, as Pakistan ranked 34th most corrupt country of the world according to the report. 34th position that is far less then what I was expecting and afraid of. I was expecting to see the word Pakistan in top 20s. I am not saying this all as if I am against my own country. However I am saying this, all because I am angry the way my country is being run and first of all I am responsible for all this. » Read more: Know Who to Blame

My Land Pakistan is still up

October 19th, 2010

I am not quitting… yes I am not quitting and that is the official decleration I have to make after the last post. Many think that I am quitting but the fact is I am not. Interesting thing is that at the end of that post, I mentioned my plans but still many are confused. So to all that who think that I am leaving my favorite brainchild I have to say that I am not. I started this blog back in April last year without any preparation and the only thing in my mind was to bring what I feel about my land Pakistan to the people around the world. Even after these so many months the vision and mission is still the same. Education and some responsibilities have some certain importance that is not giving me much time to come and talk to the people whom I like to talk most and convey my message and views to the people who somehow read my blog and me. » Read more: My Land Pakistan is still up
