Willing to contribute?

It’s so hard to organize a blood camp in Ramadan, not because organizers are fasting and slow BUT people resist donating blood, although one can donate after iftar, but still people think they can get weak after donating.

FAiTh tried arranging a blood camp before Ramadan in different institutes/universities, but couldn’t get permission as they were already booked by some other Thalassemia centers, am glad someone approached them before us :) and I hope they would have get awesome result.

Now FAiTh has decided to organize blood camp after Eid and we are here to ask for help, help in giving us a venue, help in getting us donors.

If you can arrange blood camp in your neighborhood, institute, university, factory, office ANYWHERE, contact us. Just give us venue and donors and we will do the rest!

Hoping to get positive vibes!

Growing Pakistan ?

Posted by Ayesha on August 14th, 2010 4 Comments

Is it me or really Pakistan has changed? I feel so backward… I mean I don’t belong to any political party or organization, I don’t carry any party flag or badge… either I need life or they?

Firstly PPP flags flying in Islamabad since Benazir Bhutto birthday…

And now something which broke my heart…

First when people used to visit the famous Paper market in Karachi during August, they used to see lots of Pakistan flags and Pakistan badges, just Pakistan… nothing else.

But this time when I stepped in Paper Market to buy Flag and badges… I could see a very famous party flags and badges floating in the market, this isn’t enough… making and selling is just forget it… but my heart tore when I saw many people actually buying it… instead of Pakistan flag and badge they were buying party flags and badges… I don’t know

about any other person… but I personally didn’t like it.

Its Pakistan’s Independence or your party? Quaid-e-Azam was the founder or your party leader?

We need to learn… we need to grow up…

While coming back home on the way I saw many party fans riding on their bikes with party flags on…cars back covering with big flags.

Why can’t we live for Pakistan? Not for party… not for those people who are ruining country… for the people who gave us Pakistan!?

It’s not “tera Pakistan, mera Pakistan (mine Pakistan, yours Pakistan)” its “hum sab ka Pakistan (ours Pakistan)”.

Live for Pakistan, die for Pakistan!

Pakistan Zindabad!

P.S: don’t forget our brothers and sisters who are effected by flood today, come forward and help generously!

What else is left?

I heard about LHC banning Google last night but I didn’t take it seriously, woke up late and found my whole twitter timeline filled with anger and sadness.. why? because LHC has order ban on 9 websites which includes, Google, Yahoo, Bing, YouTube, Hotmail, MSN, Amazon, IslamExposed, InTheNameofAllaH.

First of all why on earth someone has filed petition against search engines? Its you who search such stuff, search engine doesn’t hold your hand and makes you write.. does it?

Secondly why such petition is being given attention? don’t you guys at LHC have anything else to do? Do you even know there are thousands of people who get their bread and butter through internet?

A student takes help for his assignment, a website owner search content for his website, I myself use Google for so many things, oh GOD! what would happen to email ids on yahoo and hotmail :| ? why on earth are you banning it!!!?

Dear LHC, there are people who are dying with poverty, look at the high prices of everything that a poor can’t afford but prefers to commit suicide, can you please do something about it? you became free judiciary because people all around the world joined the campaign on Facebook etc, worked hard showed care and concern for you.. and you are doing this to them? not fair.. not fair at all LHC! at least care about them?

At least show some concern for the people dying because of poverty, give your attention there.. and leave us alone.. please?

AND its people who search and see such stuff, they don’t force us to do so!! either give us back everything or take them away and send us in stone-age.

Last but not the least control yourself, your kids, DON’T TRY TO CONTROL ALL OF US!!

Thank you!

Media – Get a life!

Posted by Ayesha on June 16th, 2010 1 Comment

Many of us know about the Kyrgyzstan issue going around, students getting killed, getting evacuated by the help of government…

Why are they getting killed or forced to leave their studies? Because of majority vs minority dispute? But what it has to do with the students? Who are gone for studies?  They go out of country to get higher studies not bullets on their chest; they get higher studies so that they can get a better job, to fulfill their parent’s wishes, their sibling’s demands… and what are they getting? Treatment which a terrorist would get, am very depressed over this situation.

But then this depression isn’t big in front of what ARY News did, just few minutes ago while checking out for news , I landed on ARY News, they were showing news that Ali Raza, a student from Pakistan died in Kyrgyzstan and his dead body has arrived to his home town.

They were interviewing his father, relatives and were making video of Ali Raza’s dead body again and again… I literally wanted to call and stop them; I mean how can they do it? You are simply dishonoring Ali Raza by showing his dead body, this is very unethical.

Where are your etiquettes media? It can be you in his place in near future, what would you like? getting captured by digital camera or would you like to have some photo shoot?

Please, show a bit respect…, can you?

1st Annual Pakistan Blog Awards

1st Annual Pakistan Blog Awards

1st Annual Pakistan Blog Awards

***Post might contain some lines, expressions, feelings, comments which you may not like, but remember it’s just a blogger’s opinion :) , no offense intended

Let me start post by congratulating CIO Pakistan, Google Pakistan for arranging the 1st Annual Pakistan Blog Awards and then heartiest congratulation to all the winners :)

It all started when bloggers appealed to get recognizable around the world, get award for their blog, to showcase their blogs. Then CIO Pakistan and Google Pakistan started their engines and gave us www.blogawards.pk, some bloggers nominated themselves, some got nominated by their fans and after 5 to 6 months, awards were being announced!

On 28th May 2010, bloggers were invited to Regent Plaza, Karachi for the award ceremony and new media unconference. Heading towards Regent I knew am not going to win but yet I was very excited for my friends, I had a feeling that award ceremony would be classy, one of its kind.

Ceremony started a bit late with a welcome song by Salman and Yasir, after the wonderful performance there was first session of unconference on Innovation in Media then some awards then second session on Selling 3.0 then some awards and then third session on Engage & Converge and then some awards, the bloggers were handed awesome goodies bag by CIO Pakistan and Google Pakistan, which contains our traditional Ajrak, notepad, key chain etc. Oh did I tell you about the theme :) ? It was Ajrak!!, liked it.

There were some drawbacks which I felt, not necessary that you all agree on them too :)

  • Theme was traditional, liked it no doubt.. but I think ceremony should have started by Allah’s name (Tilawat-e-Quran)
  • Sessions were quiet boring, sorry to say but I didn’t even bothered to listen to them.. they couldn’t make us listen to them
  • Till the end it was okay but then Special Jury Awards? Sorry but it looked quiet biased and unprofessional
  • Why 4 awards in Technology category :) ? 2 could be enough.. but 4?
  • Back in December, Thalassemia cause was being supported by CIO Pakistan and Google Pakistan so why not in the awards? Wasn’t it should be nominated as a Pakistan’s cause? I don’t think I should have mentioned this myself :)
  • It was advertised very well but wasn’t presented that well.. maybe because it was 1st time? Theres so much to get improved!

    • Once again Congratulation to CIO Pakistan, Google Pakistan and all the winners!

    Winners list can be viewed here, CIO Pakistan’s post and photographs
