HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012

WHOSE BEHIND PTI's POPULARITY

It never fails to amuse me when people say that ISI and Media are supporting Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf. And further, it make me to laugh at them when I see the fact that they are the same people who once rigged the election using financial contributions from Agencies. The basic problem with these kind of people is that they don't see the means, but feel pleasure to criticize the ends. They have a very short memory as they don't remember what they did in their past, or at least they pretend as if they have not done anything wrong in past by just not considering it.

People Wake Up!!!!. you are not living in stone age (By the way it appears to be so), Its the Technological Era. Now you don't need to wait for days for a messenger to come and take your message to your receiver, It just requires a single click. This is what PTI is exploiting, and exploiting well. About 70% to 80% of the people who support PTI belong to the age group of 18 to 30 years. They are well equiped with the latest technologies and are using it to the benifit of PTI.  What the youngsters are doing is that they are using Internet, Sms, Blogs, Websites, Electronic media, Print media etc to promote PTI. They are just not letting PTI to go off screne. You turn your TV on, PTI is there, You start using any social website you will find PTI there, you keep your cell phone on, you will receive messages from PTI, you read newspaper, listen to the radio, no matter what so ever you do, you will find PTI.
 

The video above shows how each and every moment is being captured, edited and communicated to people, with huge impact. When all this is being done, PML-N and all other parties, instead of learning from it, are calling it a conspiracy. Yes, if Youth is mobilising each and every resource to bring about a change in Pakistan, then it is a conspiracy against the corrupt, backward, old, sluggish and dishonest leaders of Pakistan who have been ruling over it for the past 64 years.

Compressed Natural Bomb (CNG=>CNB)

     What is happening in Pakistan? People are dying of Hunger, Disease, Accidents, Bomb Blasts, parents killing their children and children killing their parents, husbands killing wives and wives killing husbands. Were these sources not enough to end a human life, that a new one came to the scene, called CNG Cylinder Bomb. Its not less than a catastrophe that 51 deaths have been reported, due to CNG Cylinder explosions, during the last 11 days.

   

     With the Frequency of Such incidents increasing day by day, the question arises that who is responsible for these incidents and who should take what actions to stop them. Currently, about 2.5 million Vehicles are running on the roads with CNG Cylinder and with this number Pakistan has become the largest CNG consumer as a fuel. By the way its 3 times bigger than India which has 8 times more vehicles on its roads than Pakistan.  

     It was stated in Economic Survey of Pakistan 2010-11 that "In an effort to reduce dependency on expensive imported fuels as well as to improve the environment the use of CNG in Vehicles has been encouraged". So, its the government policy being pursued to use CNG as a Fuel but this policy, like all other policies, was developed without taking into account some critical factors:

1. Rate of growth of Vehicles.
2. No laws to regulate the CNG kit fitting.
3. No Quality controls
4. Consumption and Production trends of CNG
5. Alternate Best uses of CNG
6. Short term Approach
7. Hasty decisions
8. Zero consideration of Environmental effects
9. Health and Safety Hazards etc..

     There is a saying that "A man reaps what he sows". That is the case with us as we are reaping what our Government sowed when they decided to use CNG as fuel. This could have been a sensible decision had it been taken after thoughtful deliberations and with honest and responsible and Long-term approach. But unfortunately it was the other way round. Now the government, instead of making another wrong decision in haste, should consider all the available solutions to this problem with a long term vision in their minds. Lets have a brief look at what things can be done to resolve or at least simplify this problem.

• Firstly, The Government can completely Ban the use of CNG in Vehicles and it may give a time frame of say 3-4 months to the people to convert their vehicles from CNG to any other source fuel. By doing so the CNG saved will become available to the Industry. Mr. Lukman in hs program "Khari Baat" quoted some figures which were very interesting. He said that if all the vehicles in Rawalpindi and Islamabad are converted to CNG, we can save 1 million dollars annually but if all of them stop using CNG and only Industry uses that CNG it can generate a revenue of about 38 million dollars annually. Such a policy will put an extra burden of about 5 rupees per km of millage, which can be reduced by giving subsidy out of the revenues generated.

• The second option could be to make it compulsory for everyone to get his Cylinders checked properly. This plan can have a time frame of  4-5 months, after which CNG stations will only fill CNG in properly checked and certified Cylinders. By doing so, it will discourage the use of old, expired and dangerous Cylinders which are always a potential threat to valuable lives. Benefits which will accrue will include safety of passengers traveling in vehicles and improvement in quality of traveling services. Down side of such a policy might be that new cylinders will get dearer as a result of this policy and an element of corruption may set in if the certification process is not regulated with proper checks and balances.

• The third option, Government can think about, is a mix of the above two strategies i.e. the Government can Ban the use of CNG in Private vehicles and provide CNG only to the public transporters and making it compulsory for them to get their Cylinders certified by competent authorities. This strategy will not only eliminate the threat to precious lives but also make extra CNG available to the Industry. The inconvenience cause to general public will be much less as compared to the above two strategies.

  Whatever has to be done, should be done quickly before it takes more Innocent lives.

Iranian Heroics or just a Technical Glitch worth billions of Dollers

     Recent news of Iran capturing an American drone was not only astonishing for people who don't believe in Iran's technical capabilities but also for USA itself. After this incident Americans had to face a lot of Embarrassment. Initially they kept on denying this news but soon it was confirmed when Iran put that drone on display.

    
     This incident has raised many questions. Like, what would USA do if Iran hands over the drone to Russia or China or if Iran itself makes a replica of that drone. A lot of questions are also raised about how much control American democratic government has on CIA missions. Is it another plan to sabotage Obama's withdrawal policy.

Khan and Khan and yet another Khan...

     No need to say anything about "The Great Khan" (Sir. Imran Khan), two more Khans made Pakistan proud today. One the master batsman, the Veteran Younas Khan, and the other one, the 25 years old, the lightning sharp Amir King Khan.

     

     I woke up at 7:30, Geo super was not telecasting the match, slept again and woke up at 10 O'clock. Khan was fighting his way through the 8th round. He was defending well, weakening his opponent, working on him and surprising him with high accuracy power jabs and upper cuts. Suddenly, the fat and black referee stoped the match and awarded Khan a 1 point penalty. Obviously I said *****, ****, ****.

     

     Khan didn't lose hope, kept fighting and finished the game. Everyone including the spectators, commentators even two of the three judges that Khan will retain the title but .........!!!

     

     No problem Khan u can do it. U can take ur titles back, Just prepare for the next battle..GO KHAN GO!!
