It is correct that Interantionaly, India carries far more weight than Pakistan in 2022 when, as late as the 1980’s, despite the fact the India had nearly 6 times Pakistan’s population and 4 times the Pakistan’s land area; both the counters were treated generally at par. Real power of a country...

I am really depressed when I read comments of some of my compatriots. Admittedly, Pak Army' has been guilty of manipulating Pakistani politics until the recent past, but then if General Bajwa possessed such a despicable character, why was his tenure extended for three years by Imran Khan? When...

Jewish population is undoubtedly very small compared to the Muslim population. However, despite the widespread anti-Semitic sentiments, Jews exercise far greater influence over the world than their total population numbers suggest. In addition to Karl Marx being Jewish; people such as Leon...

Regrettably we have to accept the fact that Pakistani batting is 'Brittle' and therefore not consistent in their performance. On the other hand, the way England demolished India; smart money was always on England to win. England was the odds on favourite to win by the Bookies.

Unlike physical commodities, electricity from a power is not something that can easily be sold under the table.. To sell electricity one would need to have transmission line and a transformer to bring volatge down to 220. Average electricity usage in the UK household is about 8 KWH per day...

Iran may not be our friend now but she is not our enemy either. Younger generation is probably not aware that in 1965 Iran helped us in acquiring surplus Canadian F-86 planes. Besides, Iran lies next door and is full of oil & gas. As a matter of fact Pakistan's first refinery's (PRL)...

My data is quite old but in my experience, one needs to add anywhere between $3.00 to $3.50 per MMBtu for regassification and distribution to the landed cost of imported LNG . Piped gas on the hand only needs the connection to the national grid. But pipelines are expensive to build and the...

Theoretically natural gas "Under pressure" can be stored underground in the depleted reservoirs even in the salt cavern formations. But most common natural gas storage is liquid or gaseous form is in the above–ground tanks. To the best of my knowledge most existing underground gas storage...

For the record, you cannot store " Natural gas" as it it is in the depleted gas fields. Nautural gas can only be stored either as " LNG" in the liquid state or as " CNG" in the compressed state. In both the cases one needs storerage facilities.

Undoubtedly biogas is environmentally friendly. However it also has some shortcomings. Firstly the biogas production system is very inefficient (Maximum conversion to solid mass into biogas is only 30%). Additionally, even after refinement, biogas still contains impurities thus can only be used...

No one in particular is to blame. We have been living beyond our means for more than 70 years and now the chickem has come home to roost. We have to make drastc strucural changes and learn to live within our resources in order to survive.

I have been told that may gas & electricity bill would go to about £550/- per month from Sept 20222 (this month). This along with more than £300/- per month Brent Council Rates for my house means that income coming to me from my pension is reduced by nearly 40%. Nearly all the pensioners in the...

Gorbachav was the one responsible for eneding the cold war. However the price Soviet Union paid was too high. It is too early to judge whether he was good or bad for "Russia" but I admire him because he wasa a peacful man and let reunification of Germany go ahead without a hitch.

Wishing all Pakistani members " a very happy Indenpendnve day". However, it would be poignant to remind everyone that while we sing songs praising the Quaid; we have totally ignored his wishies. For example, Quaid gave us the slogan " Unity, Faith & Discipline", but the entire country is...

MI-17 is a very reliable work horse. This is the 2nd crash within a few years. Pak Army aviation must take seriouis note of its maintenance and saftey procedues.

A very happy Eid-ul-Adha to all members of PDF.

Admittedly, the is a long history of the Pak Army interfering in Pakistani politics, but at this juncture PA are acting in line with the Constitution and have decided to stay neutral. Why then politicians intent on dragging the Army into the politics? As if 2014 speech by Nawaz Sharif at...

IB program (HQ in Geneva) only statred in 1968. I had also not heard of it until I visited Singapore in th 1980's. Now it is one of very popular higher Secondary Education Diploma iall over Far East. I was very impresed by the breadth of Knowledge of the son of a friend who came to Oxford...

In my humble opinion A level curriculum based on the UK is too theoritcal. I would prefer that Pakistanis should switch over to the IB (International Bacculaureate Diploma) instead. IB is recognized allover the world including the UK institutions of highr education.
