Me & my experiences..!

Sometimes I feel we are living in a village, we shifted to this new place an year ago, and since then we are facing lots of Internet problem!

Firstly we got to know that the PTCL cables are fiber optics one and we can’t get any DSL connection except PTCL, we applied for it..

Experience with PTCL wasn’t good, they installed the device, tried their level best to make it work but it couldn’t work… and in the end they ask us to terminate the account, but one thing we got to know is that PTCL lines are not fiber optics one :P they are copper!

So as quick as possible I signed up for Multinet, but tell you what..? Something is really bad with our fate, just after 3 months Multinet sent a letter saying that they are closing their services from Garden area, GOD! where should we go now?

No option left, signed up for LINKdotNET, since September 2008 we haven’t received any bill :/ and service.. ah! don’t ask!, all these 6 months they messed our phone lines, kept on making splitter work and service keeps on getting disconnected without any reason, and when I call guess what they ask me to do?

here:
Me: it isn’t working since last night.. it keeps on disconnecting..
Guy: Ma`am, please take the splitter out and check again..
Me: uh? if I would take out splitter then how would I use telephone?
Guy: ma`am your previous complaints were about splitter.. so just to make sure I want you to take it out and check.
Me: Sir! services is synced not d-synced so that means PTCL line and Splitter both are working a-okay.. so why the hell should I take out splitter?

This was just a trailer, I have talked to lots of nuts like this above.

And finally after thinking we decided to give World Call a try!, signed up for World Call EVDO on 24th Feb and 25th Feb the guy came and show us demo, we signed up.. and now its working..

Now I hope World Call doesn’t give us pain in neck!

Any review about World Call EVDO?

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention about Yateem Wateen!, you can read my experience with Yateem Wateen here!

Am evil! ;)

* Draft of law suggests Rs 50,000-100,000 fine, 6 month-one year jail for violators

By Afnan Khan

LAHORE: The National Assembly may soon introduce legislation regarding pre-marital blood screening to control the spread of HIV/AIDS, thalassemia, hepatitis and other diseases that are transmitted through genetic abnormalities; blood transmission; and sexual relations, sources within the National Assembly said on Tuesday.

They said the government would impose stern punishment to enforce the law, which would be binding on every Pakistani couple. The punishments would range from a fine of Rs 50,000 to Rs 100,000; six months to a year’s imprisonment; or both. Parliament is also planning on adding a provision to the law to collect the medical history of all Pakistanis deported from foreign countries, especially the Middle East, upon their arrival at airports. The sources said this was necessary as many people are deported from Middle Eastern countries after being found positive for HIV, hepatitis C, etc. Such people rarely inform the government or their families of these conditions to escape stigma and can thus spread the infections, they added.

The parliamentary sources said the law would be implemented through the thousands of basic health units (BHUs) functioning throughout the country. They said the officials working in these BHUs to keep a check on people violating the law.

The Standing Committee for Health in the National Assembly is due to meet today (Wednesday) to discuss the final timetable for placement of the bill before parliament and conduct a final debate on its pros and cons. According to committee Chairman Yasmeen Rehman, they would also discuss the issue of spurious drugs; shortage of life-saving medicine; and the high prices of medicines being sold by multinational companies.

She told Daily Times the committee had already drawn up the outline and major clauses of pre-marital blood screening law. She said passage of this law would ensure the safety of future generations from several deadly diseases.

Blood Camp: Results!

1 Comment

Asalaam o Alaikum

As I have already mentioned that we got 49 donors and as many of you might remember that I told while giving blood donation you get a chance to get tested for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Syphilis and Malarial parasite…

And in 49 donors 1 donor’s result is irregular and he has been asked to go for the extra detailed testing…

And 6 peoples gave blood for HB Electrophoresis Test (Thalassemia minor identification test) and 6 out of 6 are normal! cheers!

We are hoping to continue our fight against Thalassemia.. whether we face disappointment or anything.. our mission is to save our next generation, its my request to all the readers out there.. to come and support us!

Take Cares, Allah Hafiz
