Ahmadis affected in floods neglected, Are we even Human.
I was just reading this story on Express Tribune which pointed out the horrendous task control of our authorities and local clerics which made locals feel like aliens. How ruthless and shit brained of us to do such a petty thing. Where we expect Americans and Britishers to help us we are not ready to help our own people because they are not Muslims. according to the news article some 500 people from an ahmadiya community were not given any aid and they were deprived of all government support in the region. Sigh now that i think of it i start to believe that we really have lost humanity that ever existed in us. Do you know half of all the food distributed to flood affectees has been donated by USAID. All Hollywood artists have been tweeting in favor of Pakistan although the image that terrorists from our country send abroad is not that good. People with a little humanity left in them think above all this and i feel sad and broken just writing about this shenanigan that our illiterate authorities and clerics are responsible for. FOR GOD SAKE people are dying of hunger and diseases please think over all this or even god would not be ready to help you. I guess people were right when they said that people living in west have more Islamic qualities then we really possess.

PTCL launches its amazing 9.3 Mbps EVO 3G Nitro Rev B Package.
Does anyone of you still remember those dial up internet days and the pain in the ass Internet connection. This service by PTCL that boasts a 9.3 Mbps connectivity just blows everything in proportion off of its feat. I feel plain old when i think of what i grew up on and how technology has changed everything for us. My 56k days just look eons of years away. All i can say is that this device and connection is a dream come true for any kind of speed freak. With average download speed being around 1.5 mbps – 3 mbps this shit can rock me any time. Although i have not tested it because of my constant travelling streak but i promise that this EVO lover will bring you a review of this beast very soon.

Dont forget PTCL is the first implementer of Rev B Technology in the World *(WOW)

The Heat Wave of Russia and The Floods in Pakistan.
AS RUSSIA burns to a crisp, thousands of kilometres to the south-west torrential storms visit unprecedented flooding on Pakistan. Both events can be attributed to the same large-scale pattern of atmospheric circulation. They are also both the sort of thing climate scientists expect more of in a warming world.
The upper atmosphere (the part through which the jet streams run) is gently rocked by what are known as Rossby waves—movements of air towards and away from the poles. These waves usually travel east or west, depending on various conditions. But they can also stand still, trapping the weather beneath them.
According to Brian Hoskins, a climate scientist at the University of Reading, this year’s anticyclones in the Atlantic have produced just such a gridlock in the world of the Rossby waves, with persistent troughs of low pressure over western and central Europe, a ridge of high pressure over Russia, and lows again farther east. The air itself doesn’t necessarily sit still, but the pressure patterns which dominate the weather persist. The troughs have seen rain—producing serious floods in central and eastern Europe and catastrophic ones in Pakistan. The pronounced and persistent high over Russia has seen record temperature after record temperature.
