Happy Independence Day : Pakistan

"One Man's dream....

Achieved by another....

We came by all means we could....

Since Then....

Have we not travelled across Fairylands....

Have we not been a part of Heaven on Earth....

Together....

Have we not built....

Wonders....

Landmarks....

For the world to see....

Have we not Guarded our borders....

Day and Night....

From thousands of feets above....

In below freezing temperatures....

And across the oceans....

Have we not gone....

Where the world thought we could never go....

But then....

Our cities burned....

Hundreds killed....

We were engulfed in a war.. which wasn't even our's....

But we fought....

And we fought, not for our ourselves....

But for the millions who have suffered..For we are Heroic people....

Despite of all our efforts....

We are the ones who they discriminate....

We are the ones who they slaughter....

These are the people who left homeless....

Our people....

Take a moment to identify the difference....

Between this....

And this....

Both weep....

One with her stuffed teady bear....

The other one with her mother's blood....

Only HE knows....

Whose house was brought down by rockets....

The beauty of our people.... Lies not in being suppressed....

But....

But in being capable of enduring all that we may suffer....

In being able to stand up every time we fall....

He showed the world....

The beard does not teach you to make bombs....

It certainly gives you all powers to make world records....

You can bomb their schools....

They will study on mats....

You can bomb his madrassa....

But no power do you have to stop him from smiling....

You may try to disunite us....

But we all bow down before one lord....

You can destroy our homes....

But you cannot destroy our smiles....

Through these hard times .... As always ....

One Flag to unite us all....

One land to bring us all....

One name to die for....

Long Live Pakistan.... "

May Allah protect our country from all the bad eye's

Pakistan Zinda Bad ! :)

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani son's fined by Capital Police

At first i was shocked to hear this kind of news, take a look at yourself

ISLAMABAD: City traffic police late on Sunday caught Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s son for a violation and served him a ticket, which he received civilly and also paid the fine personally.

Sources told Dawn on Monday that Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Liaquat of the Islamabad Traffic Police (ITP), who was deployed at Radio Pakistan, spotted a car (LEC-411) being driven with high beam.

The ASI signaled the vehicle to stop and informed the driver that he had committed a violation by using high beam. He asked for documents to issue a fine ticket.

The violator introduced him as Moosa Gilani, a son of the premier, but the ITP official again sought the documents.

Mr Gilani handed over the car’s registration book to the police official, who issued him a ticket carrying a fine of Rs200.

Mr Gilani himself visited a National Bank’s branch on Monday and paid the fine to get the vehicle’s document back. He also visited the ITP Headquarters, met senior officers there and commended the ASI’s ‘honesty and zero tolerance.’

Hmm... I'm in the view that the situation is now improving in Pakistan, due to the freedom of Media, Everyone is watched now, People have started following the rules and regulations and if the thinks started going this way, I'm sure the day is no far when we will have a true democracy in our country with the Constitution and Parliament being the supreme powers of the Country.

Though this fuel seems to be more cheaper and provide extra fuel economy but keep in mind that this fuel is not suitable for old cars, so if you have one, it's always better to consult with your car mechanic.

10 Most Effective Fuel Saving TIPS

Due to the economic turndown, and with the current up and down in the petroleum prices, below are several ways for everyone to reduce the cost of driving. There are some as well which only requires a bit of attention.

1: Regular Car Tuning / Service is MUST!

It is your first duty to keep your vehicle maintained with regular changing of oil, water and other services required in order to maintain the car in perfect condition. Also don't forget to regularly check your car tyre's air pressure and wheel alignment because these two alone can improve the fuel economy by upto 10 percent.

2 : In Driving, be yourself

You are driving the car, not racing with anyone else, be yourself and drive smoothly, accelerate gradually and you will see a saving of as much as 20 percent, avoid extra braking and maintain your car speed upto 90/kmh because if you will increase the speed from this mark, you will start wasting the gas.

3 : Drive with Care

Drive with care, look properly in the side mirrors, don't stay idle too long, don't waste your fuel by waiting in the drive-thru lanes at your favourite restaurant instead park your car and get your meal. Further more According to the Natural Resources Canada, If your car engine is idle for more than 10 seconds it burns more fuel than turning your car off and then starting it again.

4 : Make your plans first!

List down your plans, where you want to go, find shortest distances between two locations so that you can save your time and fuel. Avoid multiple trips and try to use those roads which have less traffic.

5 : Temperature effects

You must probably be aware of the temperature effects on fuel consumption, if you are driving in hot temperature, you must need A.C. which can increase oil consumption, then driving with headwind can increase fuel consumption, while driving on a mountain road can decrease the fuel consumption thus paying extra money, also driving on a gravel and in snow also requires more fuel.

6 : Alternative methods of transportation

Try to find other methods of transportation, like two friends going together to a university instead two going separate, do walk, use bicycle, carpool or take public transportation and leave

your car at home. Further more activities like cycling or walking also helps in reducing your weight and providing your body the exercise which it needs.

7: An all-important label

Compare your car consumption with other car's in the market, discuss on various online forums, with friends or with the car dealers about the best car in fuel consumption.

8 : Check Technology Advancements

Regularly update yourself with the latest technology advancements like electric hybrid cars and always try to make your priority to buy those.

9 : Other Costs Affected

Keep in mind that you might have to pay a bit more when buying a new car, due to the rising petroleum prices, everything will be affected from food to water, and so rent for your new car delivery as well.

10 : Your eye to the future

Keep a close look to the future, the rising global warming is because of the burning of fossil fuels, so every litre of petrol you don't use can help ease global warming.
