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!

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!
