haha, where is agent smith when you need him. let him come here and defend his india

He is agent so must be on a secret project.

One thing is for sure though, that Himesh’s nasal voice definitely has magical powers. If it can wake up the dead from their deep sleep, its highly justified if we go bizarre listening to those killer numbers.

It is very weird......

Magical powers in a singer's voice .. whew ....

Brasil lost the game .....................France today trashed Brasil in Soccer today like Pakistan does to India in Cricket always.

anybody hear from relatives regarding electric problems in pakistan?

Yes bro everyday there is electric problem in Pakistan. SHUTDOWN " BLACKOUT"

call 'em or send an e.mail.

A friend of mine told me about an incident where he and some of his colleagues went to Hawkes Bay for a picnic. Upon reaching there they saw a deployment of Rangers jawans who had cordoned off around five to 10 huts and they were not allowing anyone access. Worried that there might be a dangerous situation developing, my friend inquired and was told that “Colonel Sahib ki family picnic mana rahi hae, tum log yehan sae chale jao”.

Anyone who works on I.I. Chundrigar Road has seen what happens when the SPs or the DIG leave from the CPO there, escorted by three or four mobile vans with their sirens blaring. Mr Masood’s suggestion to create another army to protect this one will not work as the new army will also need protection.

I have a solution. If army generals, the SPs and the DIGs are so scared of the common folk who they are supposed to protect, then they should resign and stay at home and let someone else do the job. The army, police and other agencies are there to protect the people, not the other way around.

well saeedeh i am not sure but i think you will have an answer soon. SHOn practically lives on VJ. Its her bread and water.

well nothing beats jumma in karachi.

Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal brought out protest demonstrations from some 100 city mosques against the persistent power breakdowns.

The main demonstration was held at Mosque Nayab where people joined the protest after the Friday prayer. The demonstrators were carrying placards and banners inscribed with slogans against the new management of the KESC and its privatisation. They called for the annulment of the KESC privatisation as done in the case of Pakistan Steel Mills (PSM).

The protestors were also shouting slogans against the government, venting their anger against the city government too. Many of the protestors were also carrying empty buckets and bulbs for symbolising their anger.(lol this is just beyond bs)

On this occasion the MMA leaders announced that a rally would be held on July 2 against the acute power failures and water shortage, which will march through Shamzai Chowk to MA Jinnah Road. The leaders asked Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) to explain as to why it supported the privatisation of the KESC while all other political parties opposed the decision.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Meraj-ul-Huda Siddiqui blamed the city and provincial governments for making life of common people miserable and turned a deaf ear to the rights of the

people.

The rights of people were usurped in the reign of MQM, he alleged and added that it should answer that what measures it had taken to get rid people of such problems, he questioned. Others who spoke on the occasion were Deputy Parliamentary leader in Sindh Assembly Nasrullah Shaji, Younus Barai, Hameedullah Khan and Abdul Haleem Ghori.

That is BS. MQM does nothing just gives pain to Karachites.

Hello All

Yes it has been a while since my last post but I have not forgotten all who has given me and my British Sweetie Pie. She and my daughter finally arrived at Hartsfield airport in Atlanta Monday. And after all the waiting and agonizing on Visa Journey her flight, due to weather was delayed for 2 1/2 hours.

But now all is well we are in "Hog Heaven" I must say that although I am glad that the major waiting is over we do miss the people that we have corresponded with over the months, and wish all of you the best in the process...Wayne and Ruth Hurd

Congratulations !!! It would be great long weekend for U

the man Akbar from karachi with id ALKHAN got his visa in 23 days at his home in karachi. He called his USC wife in PK and they both were present on interview. and difinitly it effects if you both are together right?

thats what i m going to do

Fooki

If your wife can able to do it then ask her to join you on the interview.

It is messed up here Imran. They only accept applicants at one office for the whole state and they only accept so many. You line up at 6 am and doors open at 8 am. IF you are lucky you can do the written test. If you pass they will not allow you to get a learners permit. You have to take the road test and only so many of those done daily for foreigners as well. And they do not do these tests until the very end of the day so you must sit all day. If you are not lucky you must come back until you have a spot to do these tests.

We are going back next week and trying to get his written and praying inshallah he passes and that they will allow him his road test on same day.

Mary

Move to Texas for while and get Texas driving license in no time.

Hey everyone

In the interview letter it says to bring original affidavit of support and all. etc etc

but those things we already sent to the embassy-the originals

why would they list that all again-is is because it is just a general letter or what?

would appreciate yr help.

thanks in advance!

Saeedeh,

Didn’t you make the copies of the documents you submitted at NVC? It is recommended that immigration visa applicant have to have (Notarized I-864, other financial documents submitted at NVC along with I-864 form)

It is also mentioned in that interview letter to bring Immigration Visa fee ($380), which was already submitted by you guys at NVC, so ignore that point.

Congrats ...

hi

People i cant get still what to do

now i think i should attested all originals(birth certificate and Marriage certificate) and photocopies too

and Attestation of Foriegn Office is must??????

Fooki

fooki already replied to this question. There is no need to attest Original from anywhere.

Just Photocopies you need to attest that it.

Happy Birthday, Bingo

I know it is not so easy we are working on the drivers test here in Alabama and it is messed up the way they do the foreign testing. Good luck and hope you and Nas are enjoying yourselves.

Mary

Are you saying that there are different sets of driving test for foreigner in Alabama? It is very weird.

Member of parliament salary package.

One will be surprised to know that the salary and government concessions for a member of the National Assembly amounts to Rs32 million per year. The breakdown is as follows:

— Salary per month: Rs120,000 to 200,000.

— Expense for constituency per month: Rs100,000.

— Office expenditure per month: Rs140,000.

— Travelling concession (Rs8 per km): Rs48, 000.

— Daily BETA when assembly meets: Rs500.

The benefits and concessions are as follows:

— Charge for business class air travel (with spouse or PA): Free for 40 trips per year.

— Rent for government hostel anywhere: Free.

— Electricity costs at home: Free up to 50,000 units.

— Local phone call charges: Free up to 170,000 calls.

This is what they (MNAs) get from government on papers. Actual figures (under the table money, black money) are unmatchable.

I talked to the embassy today and asked how can I go about talking to a CO regarding whats going on with the case. I was told that for that I would have to come to the embassy before 12:30. so I am thinking I might just do that in two weeks!

The best thing is that I live in Islamabad and the embassy is not very far from where I live. Even the the whole taking a bus to the embassy procedure is a pain in the butt!

Good luck!! Michigan

Happy Birthday MY BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love you - boopa doopa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations !

Operation removes lightbulb from #######

MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass lightbulb in his #######.

Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad's misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object.

"Thanks Allah, now I feel comfort. Today, I had my breakfast. I was just drinking water, nothing else," Mohammad, a grey-beared man in his mid-40s, told Reuters from a hospital bed in the southern central city of Multan.

"We had to take it out intact," said Dr. Farrukh Aftab at Nishtar Hospital. "Had it been broken inside, it would be a very very complicated situation."

Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn't know the bulb was there.

"When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said.

"I don't know who did this to me. Police or other prisoners."

The doctor treating Mohammad said he'd never encountered anything like it before, and doubted the felon's story that someone had drugged him and inserted the bulb while he was comatose.

Food for thought

While eating in a restaurant, especially in Lahore, a common sight is seen where usually a family with small children is eating. The family is often accompanied by a small girl of eight to 10 years. Being a child herself, she is supposed to look after the rowdy children accompanying their parents. when an order for the food is placed, there is none for this hapless girl. The food arrives and all attack in unison. The children are worst throwing food and drinks all over the place.

During all this period the girl is watching silently. Do her masters ever realise what her feelings would be. In all these restaurants, including fast food, people who come are very affluent. Can’t they afford a coke or a burger for their servant? Think over it next time you are dining out. This poor girl accompanying you could have been your child as well.
