I do understand your point. But do you understand mine? I have never heard of someone calling Faisalabad the Manchester of Pakistan. Why would it be called that. Do you know there are many cities in the US where certain areas are called mini Pakistan, China town or mini India. That is due to the...

Find out ways to teach them how to make money. Plus you make 1200 pounds a month? Thats not enough to take on responsibility of taking care of someone else every month. Listen to what @Aether has said, it is not the same sort of world that we grew up in. Buy a sewing machine for one family each...

It cant be opposite because that is exactly the same thing I said and meant.

I haven't had pakola since i got back. I guess its just one of those things you miss when you are there.

It was impossible to find Pakola in 2005 when I was there. And also we only found the can ones. Its the bottled ones that are better.

Are you in the US? Because if you are those are the last things you will miss in that country. These ridiculous food items are all available there. We even managed to hunt down some pakola in devon street. Not even available in those days in new york.

It is working. Selectively. The agreement done by the government with mobile operators was to enable all forms of streaming and social media to make money of 3g connection. All cellphones have youtube working even if on wifi. Plus my youtube is working on the computer using https://. So...

How do you spread your culture without "impressing" others? If someones culture is seeping through is because they are providing those people with something they want. It includes Art, literature, science and a whole lot of other things. Disappointing response is how you think that each...

that would be an amazing thing to progress towards. You will need a culture that is acceptable in the 21st century in an evolved form. Lets hope the majority stakeholders of our culture are cultured enough to impress the rest of the world one day.

You do not have to feel proud about what culture is being implemented. The cultures soaked up by our countries is not ours but someone elses 20 years ago. Nothing wrong with it. Globalization is the future. I just wish it wouldn't lag behind because of religion and poverty in the sub continent.

Having workshops and skill based training classes is not unislamic. Even making some of them cooks and basic nursing staff is also not far fetched. The problem is the donors are not interested in going that direction to have skilled labour in the country. What these black sheep madrassahs are...

Depends on how much fight is left in me to continue seeing this slow erosion. Everyday is a battle. Lets hope for the best for the ones that come after us.

Ill be on this forum for the next three years. I have a huge bunch of "i told you so's" and predictions scattered throughout this place. Problem is that my memory is too weak to remember how all my stories end. This too shall pass.

No government will put their hands in this project. Especially with 3 years left. Thats what common sense dictates knowing the people in power. But I have been wrong before.

Which would you prefer if you had to take care of 200 million people?

You get into the higher income category by providing goods and services to the population. When you tax them they add those as expense in the goods and services they provide. So in the end the few that do pay what little taxes after bribing their way through to as little as possible this will...

1) It is cheaper to get tattoos than to have them removed. A tattoo of that size would have cost a pretty penny. Cheapest rates out there would be $60/ square inch, with a $250 minimum and depend on the equipment used. Equipment that is not available everywhere and the rates are for the US where...

Attacker’s demonic tattoo draws fresh TTP conclusions ISLAMABAD: One of the 10 terrorists involved in Saturday night’s brazen attack on Peshawar airport had Western-style “tattoos” on his body, raising questions about the identities of those behind the assault. Security officials said at...

You need to realize that Islam has a lot of converts from within the hopeless of society. They get indoctrinated as their options in this world are minimal. Some of these former prison convicts in baltic and eastern european countries used to live a fast life before converting. Hence the...

Never personally seen a concrete sloped roof in the country. My roof is flat. Enough space to put solar panels. The problem is that the life cycle cost recovery is not worth going into solar. In other words it is not cost effective at the moment. Batteries are chinese and last max of 3 years...
