After completing my O levels and getting reasonably good grades, I had to find a good school to go to for A levels. It was a matter of fact that I was tired of my current school then, and kids used to say:

The traffic at TechPakistan has decreased at lot. A few days ago I updated the forum software at TechPakistan.com and installed a new feature where the users can upload files from there PCs and get them on there mobile phones thougth WAP. I hope that this would attract more users. We have planned to add something more to the site and make it more useful for the people. Although a lot of sites offer sending SMS Messages, it would be a nice idea if this could be put on our site and integrated with the forum user account. The previously used SMS bot could also be integrated in this system. We have some ideas but implementing this would take a lot of time, and being the only TechPakistan developer all of this would be up to me, but I cant find much time for this.

Yesterday was pretty intresting, not bad like other days, in school the first period was French, we had a test and i did pretty badly, but I did put all my efforts in. The we were supposed to have a Economics class, Sir Bajwa had told us that he would be late 30 minutes or more, and so he was, he came after the period had finished, so having a nice time playing in the Eco period we happily went to the Business Management class early. There I found very intresting, the “wave” thing, that my friends were making. It happens like this, the first person in the row takes his hands up and brings them down, the others in the row do the same but after a slight delay from the one sitting on hist left, we made a slight “wooo” sound as we did it, so it made a very intresting wave for the people who look at us from the front.

Satellite imagery has always fascinated me. A long time back I downloaded images from http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov, where I was able to locate my neighborhood. Then I got software called

A few days back I received an email from a friend, seeing from whom the mail was from I happily opened it (I was expecting a party invitation), only to see that it was a message saying that your MSN account will be terminated if you do not forward the message to 18 people.

Last night my mom woke me up and I thought it was Sehri time, I usually continue sleeping for five minutes or so when some one wakes me up so I didn

Instant Messengers are very popular on computers, now with the advancement of cellular technology it has become possible to connect to MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ and other instant messenger services through mobile phones. The internet and Java enabled mobile devices make Mobile Instant Messaging a reality. The only major problems are the small screen and the input of messages as only a few can type in messages very fast. However there are phones with large screens and QWERTY keypads. Here are the few of the free services available today to do this. However keep in mind that you will still be charged by your service provider for the internet usage on your mobile. Agile Messenger the most widely used software for this purpose, however it required Symbian OS and is not a freeware anymore.

First the tsumani, then Katrina and now an Earth quake, what is the world comming to, isnt that too much for the year 2005? I hope there is nothing more in store for us. I can recall a documentary on Discovery a few years back about the increase in natural disasters because of increase in pollution and global warming and how the climate pattern would be affected. We can see the results already. Not to forget that we received rain from western depression in winter like never before and what happend to the monsoons in Karachi? i missed the rain but it was better having a lot of clouldy days without much rain.

At first sight this thing looks very curious, take a closer look at the picture and you can see that I am holding the whitish object in my hand, the background is a wooden table so that it is more clearly visible. I know nobody would have guessed till now what it is. This is a twisted piece of a metal rod which used to be a part of the grill of the window (we have these in Pakistan to stop burglars from getting in) of the common room of the International School. Its not that students here are really strong, the grills are weak and sometimes students break them play with them and make out weird shapes from them.
