The Match Fixing Drama Would Murder the Flood Victims

By Ayaz Rajput • Aug 30th, 2010 • Category: Politics

There is little left in the ‘confidence building measures’ which were going on with the donors, after the match fixing drama. The donors, who seemed quite reluctant in donating Pakistan in this time of need, were unsure of the hands in which their donated money was supposed to land for distribution in the flood victims.  [...]



Mass nonsense – Deadly consequences!

By Ayaz Rajput • Aug 29th, 2010 • Category: Worth A Second Look

I can’t remember when I last listened about a brave decision taken by Zardari and co. since 2008 takeover.  All we listen these days is about transfer of power to Washington and bows to Obama. The latest is, quite ridiculously, the Pak-Afghan agreement. Afghan trucks have been allowed to pass through Pakistan to get in [...]



Vote Of Confidence

By Ayaz Rajput • Aug 4th, 2010 • Category: Politics

It is evident that President Zardari would get his required votes of confidence to stay afloat the Presidency regime of his, if he is forced to come in the assembly and take the vote of confidence from the house.  But the things will be quite the opposite if President Zardari is someway forced to take [...]



Funny, Isn’t it

Intermediate certificate of PML-N MPA, Khawaja Muhammad Islam from PP-72 (Faisalabad-XXII) has been proven bogus, according to the Higher Education Commission. The MPA submitted Intermediate certificate of Faisalabad Board for admission in University of East Hyderabad. The degree he submitted was of 1987 while the Board was established in 1988.

Dumbs and Dumbers

By Ayaz Rajput • Jun 4th, 2010 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

The current law and order situation in Pakistan is all about the VIPs.  If you live in a small house, work six days a week and have a family to run, then you mean nothing to them.  With no police on patrol, no one at the emergency call center, we all are at the mercy [...]



Islam Allows Men to Beat their Wives? An answer to a Question!

By Ayaz Rajput • Mar 21st, 2010 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look

Last month I was just going through a famous public blog to share what I know and to learn from what people know.  I came by a question and could not stop clicking the “Answer this Question” button.  So I did.  The question was that does Islam allow Men their Wives if they are Disobedient?
I [...]



Breast Cancer: Causes You May Never Have Heard Of

By Ayaz Rajput • Mar 2nd, 2010 • Category: Features

As I spent a few days with a friend of mine in a local government hospital, I was very alarmed to see the number of breast cancer patients enrolled every day. Breast cancer is the most dangerous kind of cancer which is solely responsible for the death of 41,116 women annually in the US only.  [...]



On-Air Government

By Ayaz Rajput • Feb 10th, 2010 • Category: Politics

I am not surprised from the current political situation in Pakistan.  After the entire “Terrorism” thing and its “elimination” going on, it could have caused things to go even worse than they are right now.  Arguably, things are pretty much, I bet say, intact.  Bad times come in every country, situations even worse than those [...]



Imran Nazir: The On-Off Dramatist

By Ayaz Rajput • Sep 16th, 2009 • Category: Entertainment

He adds another count to the most amazing ‘strikers’ list of Pakistan Cricket.  An excellent smasher of the ball, unanimously known for his on-field stunts and turns in the air, Imran Nazir is a performer that cricket geeks have ever dreamt of. In all probability, he is the only player, along with Shahid Afridi, to [...]



051 - *******?

By Ayaz Rajput • Sep 12th, 2009 • Category: Politics

Getting your Landline Phone installed or getting it fixed is more adventure seeking than the adventure of the Hollywood release “Terminator-3”. Truly, if PTCL isn’t the worst division in Pakistan, it isn’t even anywhere near the finest. Immense monopoly of the officers, indisputable indolence of the linemen and the substandard cabling make PTCL one of [...]
