This concept has been told and retold before, but I didnt get a chance to blog about it. Most of the year at AUS, it is unbearably hot outside, each time you enter a building you thank God for creating AC. Its usually quite cold inside buildings.
During a typical day a typical student has to [...]
This is the first timing I’m hearing/seeing this, reportedly some hail fell in Karachi last Sunday. It took me some time to believe it although the friend telling me about it never lied to me and had photographical evidence. I might put these photographs on if I find some time.

159 days till i get out of the cage of IB, i.e. my last IB exam. I am already beginning to plan what I want to do. Firstly I want to go trekking, there are so many wonderful places out there like Nanga Parbat, Deosai, Rakaposhi and Siri paye. Trekking previous June was one of the best experiences of my life. This time I also want to do something more thrilling as well like rock climbing, repelling or rafting.
Then I am thinking of doing an internship somewhere as I have never had any sort of real work experience. I might take up some open source coding project, some entrepreneurial idea or both. And of course I want to meet everyone I know in Pakistan before I go on to university.

Its unfair how they are making so much money by blocking calls over the internet so that everybody has to use there service to make overseas calls. With Etisalat also controlling PTCL, Pakistanis dont look very happy with it either.

The fountain is somewhat visible from my rooftop but I wanted to give it a closer look ever since it began operating, got the chance yesterday. The place I took this snap from was totally dark and seaview was unusually quiet for a Saturday. I wonder how this looks in the morning.
Some time ago I saw a link to a game called Commando4, the site claimed to be the first 3D Pakistani game, although I am not sure there have been other 3D Pakistani games released before as well. As a software developer myself I was interested in the game, so I ordered a CD using the online order form. This seemed pretty impressive for a Pakistani site, I got an email instantly confirming the order, but it also said I
