Happy Eid al-Adha & Thanksgiving

I would like to send my warm greeting to everyone. As 2.5 million of Muslims are in the most holiest city of Islam called Makkah and performing Hajj. This Hajj event is based on Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son(Ishmael) for his God (Allah). Event is purely follow the fundamental right of human equality. Anyways, I want to make long story short, Eid Mubarak!

At the same time people of United States are also paying tribute to initial pilgrims or new comers to land of opportunity in 1600s.

Sesame Street turns to 40

Champions Trophy

It is good news that Pakistan reached in the semi final of Champions Trophy.
Pakistan play with New Zealand at Johannesburg. It is expected that Pakistan will able to reach in Final and play with England/Australia. I hope England could beat Australia. Then Pakistan and England could play final easily. In that case Pakistan could get victory. Let see what happen in next few days... till then sign off!

Update: Pakistan was defeated by New Zealand, and as usual Australia again become champion.

President Obama Gives Ramadan Message

President Obama is delivering Ramadan greeting to Muslims in United States and around the world.
My opinion on President Obama is about his business mind. He always think about $. He always encourage partnership in term of science and technology, Islamic faith based organizations, Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). He know the key thing, obviously culture. He never feel any kind of un-comfort to send his message to his intended audiences(Muslims).

Anyways, I would like to give Ramadan Kareem greeting to all Muslims.

You can also watch President Obama Message on Ramadan.

Account Sign Out option on Amazon.com

I want to share my feeling on Amazon.com, every time when I need to sign out from website, it take me quite long time for sign out option. Amazon people don't provide such option on every page. You need to go in account page, and then sign out.
I hate it.. What are your saying on it? Or any such experience..

Letterman is also thinking that Twitter is waste of time, while Kevin insist that twitter is free and don't cost. Kevin also said to him that you are not only the cheapest man in show business, you are laziest man in show business.

My little reaction on the message of Mufti Taqi Usmani

Peoples who live outside the Pakistan are also worrying about current situation of their native homeland. Most of the people are taking Mufti Taqi Usmani Sahab's Message seriously. I also read the Surah Ash-Shams couple of time. Usually, it is not good practice to tell everyone, but my intentions are made everyone comfortable and encouraging.

I strongly encourage everyone to read Surah Ash-Shams according your capacity.

[Random Thought] Rule of the Game

You move him from his play ground to your play ground. You move him from his battle into your battle, and play by your rules. Now, it is making more sense. It sounds more simple. Don't underestimate your power.
When you move into this playground, when you start playing by your rules. They have no defense mechanism. You leave them dumb found.

Why Twitter Sucks...

Last year I sign up with Twitter service, but now I am sick and tired with Twitter. I don't know why people are crazy about it. In my opinion, it is time consuming with no sense of online security.

Anyways, you can enjoy following comic video on Twitter.

President Obama Speaks to the Muslim World from Cairo, Egypt

Important Message from Mufti Taqi Usmani Sahab

On Sunday 24th May 2009, Hazrat Maulana Mufti Taqi Usmani Sahab Damatbarakatuhum said during his bayan at Darul Uloom Karachi, that one of Mufti Sahab's Buzurgs saw Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) in his Dream. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said in the dream, that Pakistan might soon be caught in an Azaab(punishment) from Allah(SWT). Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, in the dream, that the people of Pakistan should recite Surah Shams at least 70,000 times to avoid this Azaab(punishment).

Mufti Taqi Usmani Sahab Db has asked everyone to recite Surah Shams as much as possible and also to recite Ayat e Kareema frequently.

Hazrat Mufti Sahab has also asked people to spread this msg to as many people as possible.

You can listen to the Audio file yourself.

This video is about the exponential growth of available information in our society and what might happen in the future.

Urdenglish or Minglish as an official language of blogger

Cyber arena of modern world is heavily influenced by English language. English is still dominant language in the current free states of former British Empire. Urdu is national language of Pakistan, but English considered official language of Pakistan.

Satellite and Cyber world is forming new language which use the mix of Urdu and English. Some define it as Minglish or Urdenglish.

I personally think that it should be added in the list of official languages of the world with either Minglish or Urdenglish.

UTP defines it as "Minglish is a language famous with South Asians which mix Urdu or Hindi while basically speaking English on the outlook. It is a combination of Mix or Mingle with English to come up with the Portmanteau Word , Minglish"

Houston Rockets Vs Los Angeles Lakers

With all typical stereotype regarding the Houston Rockets from southern state Texas, will rock on home ground.

I am being the fan of Cricket, but Basketball still offer me more obsession in the absence of it.

I am hopeful for Houston Rockets. I am thinking that Rockets will win today game. Lakers are extremely good, but still there is a chance for us. Just in case if we lose the game, we would still in good condition, at least team like Lakers struggle with us for their victory.

Obama quotes Hadith during National Prayer Breakfast

President Barack Obama is telling the National Prayer Breakfast that even though faith too often has been used "as a tool to divide us from one another," there is no religion in the world that is based on hatred.

In his prepared remarks, President Obama quoted the prophetic tradition, or "hadith," which states: "None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself." That hadith may be found in Sahih Al-Bukhari, one of the most respected collections of the Prophet Muhammads(PBUH) statements and actions.

Here is the speech video,

A Strong Middle Class = A Strong America

I am happy for this news. Now, at least somebody would hear the shouted voices of middle-class. It is beginning towards prospect future of an average American.
