Elections 2008 and Punjab Police

Government of Pakistan (known as Pervaiz Musharraf) announced the so called free & Fair Elections 2008. May be he is right but as you know “A picture is worth a thousand words.”

Free and Fair Elections

It shows that a poor cop of Punjab Police is helping to hang the billboards showing the election symbol of ‘bicycle’, and bicycle is the electoral symbol of the ruling party PML(Q). I think this information is enough to understand this picture ;)

The picture is asking many questions from Musharraf and Election Commission of Pakistan.

Top search engines for Rapidshare Searching


Rapidshare is probably one of the top free file hoster on the planet. You can find almost everything on rapidshare but the problem is, rapidshare did not provided any search functionality for the hosted files. If you know how to search the hosted files on rapidhsare, you can rule the IT world.

What is Rapidshare: Rapidshare is the best among all the file hosting sites till date. Keeping in view that the web users have to go through a tedious process to send files as an attachment in emails and with some service providers not providing the option of sending large files, the idea of file uploading came into existence. Established in May, 2002 Rapidshare has nearly 84 sites which link to it and stores files on Rapidshare servers. The servers are located in Switzerland. Due to overwhelming response to the service, the problem of server overload started creeping in. So Rapidshare decided to start another subsidiary company by name Rapidshare.de

Top Search Engines: I think Google is the most powerful search engine capable of handling a number of advanced queries but you must have enough understanding on how to perform search. Searching in google is a very long story, I will cover it in later article.

Here I will guide you how to search the Rapidshare using google:

Amazing Pakistan – A trip to Kasur

shafiq fayyaz khalid rizwan

We had been planning to visit Kasur for many days, each time it was postponed due to some unavoidable circumstances. At last, we planned the journey to Kasur on Sunday 25th Nov. All the credit for making it possible goes to Mr. Fayyaz Minhas.

We (Fayyaz, Khalid, Rizwan, Sameer & off course Me ;) ) decided to start our journey on 10:00 am Sunday but Sameer couldn’t join us due to some sudden guests in town (we missed him a lot). Fayyaz picked me from my home sweet home at 11:15 the we both pickedKhalid and Rizwan from STC. The journey to Kasur was very interesting and we reached Kasur in about an hour.

Our first stay was at Ayub Foods which is the most famous about his quality food. We eat Faloodah(very tasty sweet dish) from Ayub Foods. Everybody who visits Kasur must goto this restaurant to enjoy the faloodah.

After eating Faloodah we again started our travel towards Gunda Singh and stayed to my sister’s home in Bhaidian Kalan (Nai Basti). My Nephew Inam joined us and palyed an important role as a guide. He takes us to his friend’s Amrood (Guava) Garden. We ate crunchy crunchy fresh amrood (guava), they also gifted amroods to everybody.

After that we went to gunda singh border to see the guard changing ceremony. That was also worth to attend. We spend an hour at Gunda Singh border, you can watch video too



Kasur Ganda Singh Border
After attending the ceremony on indo-pak border we again came back to the older city Kasur to taste the Kasuri Fish. The fish was also superb. We never ate such a wonderful tasty fish in Lahore. Kasuri fish’s shop name was Sheikh Javed.We came back and reached home at 10:30. Overall our trip was 100% successful. I recommend you to visit Kasur if you are planning a visit to Pakistan or If you live in Lahore.
