Overall it has been a very turbulent year. The Red Mosque siege, protests, explosions, imposition of emergency and the big assassination last week are just some of the major events to rock this part of the world. However, it was a relatively smooth and uneventful year for myself. Here is how I would sum it […]
After an unusual gap of around five years, I recently got a new dream PC. For the first time in quite a while, I was able to splurge on some pretty mean hardware though it didn’t come without issues. Selecting the CPU was the first step. I’ve always been an AMD fan, but they have […]
When I heard the terrible news of the killing of Benazir Bhutto on Thursday, the initial reaction was one of shock which then turned into concern about the fallout of this event.

Alternative energy is something I check up on every once in a while and something I have a keen interest in. However, the usual talk just focuses on what could be built or achieved in the near future. I’ll share two articles that describe some cool projects already underway and which should see the light […]
Just a few years ago, Islamabad was considered a city bereft of life. A quiet little capital city consisting mostly of government employees who lived a simple life and where opulence was generally unheard of (maybe with the exception of certain elite circles). With most citizens struggling to make ends meet, you would have been […]
When I first read about it, chain letters came to my mind. Like the one about Bill Gates donating his wealth as a result of you circulating the blasted email to as many people as possible. Or a Nigerian scam that centers around someone wishing to donate their life savings to a charitable cause. However, […]
