How to hypnotize a man

The end

The day before blog meet i went to the town and bought some descent outfit,because normally i dress like a scare crow .It took me about an hour to select the right stuff.I considered buying a hooded t-shirt,then went for a black coat,blue shirt,green tie and Grey trousers.But then rejected it as being too formal,and bought a pair of jeans and a wacky black shirt
My life is so full of bad hair days,that i rarely bother wasting time on trying to set my hair.But gave it a go on the bloggity morning,and guess what,i did two things that morning which i had never ever done in my life before.I straightened my hair and used a hair spray of course it didn't work,and when i arrived at blogmeet my hair were as messy as ever
After the initial meet n greet,meno mama realized that all that traveling and being stuck in the Manchester traffic has made us hungry,and asked us to order the food.After reading the restaurant's menu,i decided to have chicken biryani which was great.Oh and we had lots and lots of papadom on arrival,and drinks
There were so many different types of dishes on the table,and it looked so nice that some people we tempted to take photographs of it rather than eating it ,ok isodora
I have a car which is confused with a skip as i dont bother to clean it,the car manufacturers did not fit a self cleaning system in it,so not my fault
I was hesitating to offer my services to meno mama,for driving her to Liverpool from Manchester.But somehow it did happen.
I had two hours of undivided attention from lovely meno mama,as we talked and talked on the way to Liverpool.
Despite being the proud owner of a sat-nav,i managed to get lost on the streets of liverpoool,as i couldn't find the lime street station.
We had to stop near a Macdonald's and meno mama went out to ask the way,and at the same time,my malfunctioning street navigator started working and in the next few minutes we were trying to find a parking space in the train station's parking lot.
Went inside and the next mission was to find denzil85.
Meno mama has to call a few bloggity mates to find denzil's mobile number.When meno mama actually called him on his phone,he was standing few yards away from us,and looking at us suspiciously
So that was it,meno mama handed over to denzil85 at the liverpool lime street station,and safriz drove back to preston with renewed plans to clean his car

I was really scared and confused.I gotta admit.But when i entered the venue (sangam restaurant in Manchester) and got the biggest and warmest hug i had in ages,from menomama,i was ok.Thank you meno mama.
I met rowtheboat,and she is not beautiful,she is stunning stunning stunning.
One person really surprised me,as she was totally different from the image i had about her in my mind.She is msfullphat.I couldn't stop myself from giving her a biiiiig hug.She has got a very pleasant personality.
grumpybloke,not grumpy at all,and was really well dressed.
isodora,elegant lady,was the only blogger with a name plate,showing her bloggity name,and that was ingenious.She conveyed me a nice warm hug from lonemum.Thank you lonemum.
Due to the short time,and seating arrangements,couldn't talk much with
pompadour and Tentativeplotfinder
Thank you ladies and gent(aka grumpybloke)for such a lovely time.

Why am i attracted to the DIY section,whenever i enter a superstore.Why i cant go out of B&Q without checking almost all Black & Decker things.Why i am tempted to check every toolbox available in the store.
Why why why?

On my 564th day in blogland,i am really going to meet my bloggity friends.
May be i will poke them one by one to be sure if they really exists or they are some holographic projection.
I may ask some random questions to check if they are battery operated robots or real people.Sniffing them one by one may be last thing i will do before being kicked out on suspicion of mental illness

10 minutes plus.
A real man starts from 25 minuter plus.
A super man starts from 45 minutes plus.

or did i miss something?

Why almost every Ford Mondeo has a dent in the rear bumper?

Thats a famous and expensive dish in Pakistan.The main ingredients are goat's spare parts.
The music they make with their tools while cooking this delicacy is awesome.
This man is not good at making the music bit,but the dish is surely delicious.

The feminine beauty is a figment of male imagination.It actually doesn't exist.

I came to this conclusion only today.I was sitting in the CCTV room of a large departmental store,covering for a friend.
I saw all type of girls for about 6 hours.But since i was looking for the buglers and shop lifters,no girl gave me that "wow" or "boink in my pants".
Under normal circumstances,i will find something beautiful in almost every girl. "Figment of my own imagination"

I didn't know what to do with a girl,when i was eight. I played peek a boo with my neighbor's girls and firmly believed that that the stork brought us to our parents from behind the clouds.

What a blog

Pakistan,the country which is being run from Washington,and they send their assistant foreign minister to give orders to our president,is the secret 52nd state of the USA.
We should officially surrender as a country and become their official subject.

Japan confirmed today that it will press ahead with an expanded annual whale hunt that will for the first time target humpback whales, internationally listed as a vulnerable species.

The last independent news channel from Pakistan www.geo.tv has been ordered to shut down in their last refuge in UAE.
This news channel was my favourit for national and international news.It was more efficient then CNN or BBC as a source of international news in urdu language.
It is sad the the Dubai government came under pressure and ordered them to shut down.

Found it interesting(Resambles the story of the ring in L.O.T.R)

Some say that the Koh-i-noor(the mountain of light) was originally found more than 5000 years ago, and is mentioned in ancient Sanskrit writings.
By contrast, another source has it that the diamond was discovered in a river bed in 3200 BC. The first reliable evidence of it, however, is in the writings of Babur, the founder of the Mogul Empire, who names this diamond as part of the treasure won by Ala-ud-deen (Aladdin) at the conquest of Malwah in 1304 AD. The Moguls acquired the diamond in 1526.
At that time it was said to weigh 793 carats, but through some incredibly ham-fisted cutting and polishing by a jeweller named Borgio it was reduced to 186 carats. Borgio had been working on it for years, but so enraged was Aurungzebe (the Emperor at the time) at the result that he confiscated all Borgio's worldly goods and contemplated executing him as well.
The Koh-i-noor remained with the Mogul emperors until 1739, when Nadir Shah of Persia, the conqueror of India, got hold of it after laying siege to Delhi. According to legend it was a member of the harem of the Mogul Emperor Mohammed Shah who told Nadir Shah that the jewel was kept hidden in the Emperor's turban. So, at a victory celebration, Nadir used a cunning ploy. He suggested that he and the Emperor partake in a well-known Oriental custom whereby the two leaders would exchange turbans. This would symbolise their close ties and eternal friendship. For the Mogul to refuse would have been a great insult to the conqueror. Later that night, when Nadir Shah unfolded his host's turban he duly found the gem, and cried out 'Koh-i-noor', which means 'mountain of light'. Nadir Shah then brought the jewel back with him to Persia.
After the death of Nadir Shah the Koh-i-noor came through devious means into the possession of Ahmed Shah, the Lord of the Royal Treasury and an Afghan chief. Then Ahmed Shah, after a series of long and fierce battles, established himself in Kabul as King of Afghanistan, and held on to 'the great diamond' as a symbol of his authority. Through various subsequent upheavals and rebellions the diamond came back into the possession of the Indian princes, until the annexation of the Punjab secured it for the British.
The British colonial officials found the Koh-i-noor in 1849, in the treasury of the Punjabi capital, Lahore. They confiscated everything they found in the treasury as compensation for having to fight against the Sikh army, who didn't think much of the British claims to power in India.

Sir John Lawrence, Governor General of India, used to tell the story of how the Sikhs handed the diamond to him in a plain old battered tin box, which he then forgot about. Weeks later London was asking him if he had any idea where the diamond was. He replied in the negative. Then came a second, more urgent letter, in which London expressed a desire to present the jewel to the Queen. Following another negative reply, the Prime Minister himself, Lord Palmerston, sent a plea. Sir John searched high and low but couldn't find it, until one of his servants remembered there was 'a bit of glass in an old tin box'. Luckily the servant was the sort of person who never throws anything away, and eventually discovered it in the tool-shed. There it was, not even wrapped - the most famous gem of India, the fabled Koh-i-noor, the 'Mountain of Light', the jewel to die for (and very many unfortunate people had done just that). And Lawrence didn't have the faintest idea what it was.
The British were rather disappointed at the lack of 'fire' in the diamond, and so they decided it should be re-cut to make it more brilliant. This further reduced it from 186 carats to its present size of just under 109 carats. Over centuries of murder and mayhem, brutality and torture - not to mention deceit and duplicity - the stone had long carried with it a curse that misfortune would always befall its owner, though any woman wearing it would remain unharmed. There was some talk of whether Queen Victoria would return the stone because of the curse. Defiant as always, however, she was adamant it should instead be re-cut and set in a tiara along with over 2000 other royal diamonds.

In 1911 a new crown was made for the coronation of Queen Mary, with the Koh-i-noor at its centre. Then in 1937 the stone was transferred to another new crown, this time for the coronation of Elizabeth (later to become the Queen Mother) as Queen Consort and Empress of India.
In April 2002, a few days after the death of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, her crown was taken from behind its ultra-high-security armoured glass in the Tower of London and carried in open view through the streets of London, surmounting her coffin as it processed from St James's Palace to Westminster Hall. It remained there during her Lying-in-State as members of the public filed past to pay their last respects to the Queen Mother, the last Empress of India.

Interestingly enough, she had only ever worn this crown once, 65 years earlier, at the Coronation of herself and her husband, King George VI, in 1937. The largest and most important jewel in this crown is the priceless Koh-i-noor Diamond, which had been presented to Queen Victoria by Lord Dalhousie in June 1850.
Like all significant jewels, the Kohinoor has its share of legends. It is reputed to bring misfortune or death to any male who wears or owns it. Conversely, it is reputed to bring good luck to female owners.
Given the long and bloody history of the diamond, there are many countries with a claim on it. In 1976, Pakistan prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto asked British prime minister Jim Callaghan for the Koh-i-Noor to be returned to Pakistan. The prime minister replied to Mr Bhutto with a polite "No", and British diplomats in the countries likely to counter this claim were asked to lobby to 'kill the story'. Other claims have been made by India, the Taliban regime of Afghanistan, and Iran.
As of 2007, the gem remains in the Tower of London.

3. The first truth is a lie.

4. You are smiling now.

5. You will soon forward it to someone.

Breaking news

Boredom keeps the world going.If we don't get bored,we will stop looking for something new.There will be the same programs on TV every day,and no new fashions.No new books will be written,no new movies.All because people will not get bored.
I respect "Boredom"

The Baltoro Glacier, at 57 kilometers long, is one of the longest glaciers outside of the polar regions. It is located in the Northern Areas of Pakistan, and runs through part of the Karakoram mountain range.
The Baltoro Glacier route to the base camp of K2 is the Karakoram and Pakistan's most popular trek.This 62km highway of ice is flanked by some of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the world, sheer-walled granite towers that excite and inspire.
Sky high stone towers jutting out of the ancient ice,look like some alien landscape.

All Private TV channels have been shut down in Pakistan.It happened immediately after the Current president Pervez Musharraf imposed martial law.
All the private news and entertainment channels were being watched via cable throughout the country.
As the TV cable networks were completely disabled,people turned to the satellite dish and internet for the latest news.
The sale ans manufacturing of satellite dish and receivers boomed.
Today a massive dot attack downed one of the major news website.
www.geo.tv is the most trusted and most visited news website in Pakistan.But today it was not working,and now i have learnt from another streaming website that there has been a Dot attack attack on this website.
So welldone Musharraf,you have taken martial law to new heights.

There may be reasons,there may not be.We live for a reason,or we live to find one

Have a look

Death is a reality,and there is no escape.We live until a certain time,which nobody knows,and then one day,for some reason,we die.
Nobody has ever found any way to escape death,and nobody knows,when they are going to die.It's always a suspense,and mystery.
Here are some of the Dumbest Deaths in Recorded History.Ironically,these were some of the greatest minds in the history of mankind.Enjoy if you can.

Tycho Brahe:
An important Danish astronomer of the 16th century. His ground breaking research allowed Sir Isaac Newton to come up with the theory of gravity.
How he died: Didn't get to the bathroom in time.
In the 16th century, it was considered an insult to leave a banquet table before the meal was over. Brahe, known to drink excessively, had a bladder condition-but failed to relieve himself before the banquet started. He made matters worse by drinking too much at dinner, and was too polite to ask to be excused. His bladder finally burst, killing him slowly and painfully over the next 11 days.

Francis Bacon:
One of the most influential minds of the late 16th century. A statesman, a philosopher, a writer, and a scientist, he was even rumored to have written some of Shakespeare's plays.
How he died: Stuffing snow into a chicken
One afternoon in 1625, Bacon was watching a snowstorm and was struck by the wondrous notion that maybe snow could be used to preserve meat in the same way that salt was used. Determined to find out, he purchased a chicken from a nearby village, killed it, and then, standing outside in the snow, attempted to stuff the chicken full of snow to freeze it. The chicken never froze, but Bacon did.

Aeschylus:
A Greek playwright back in 500 BC. Many historians consider him the father of Greek tragedies.
How he died: An eagle dropped a tortoise on his head
According to legend, eagles picked up tortoises and attempt to crack them open by dropping them on rocks. An eagle mistook Aeschylus' head for a rock (he was bald) and dropped it on him instead.

Livestock emissions are responsible for 18% of the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. That's more than all forms of transportation put together.
Cows' farting and burping must be brought under control because they're causing global warming problems, a climate change expert has warned.

Just one cow gives off enough harmful methane gas in a single day to fill around 400 litre bottles, which is really bad for the environment.

The gas goes up into the atmosphere and makes the hole in the ozone layer bigger, worsening global warming.

Man angry with son-in-law fingers him as terrorist to FBI

STOCKHOLM (AFP) - A man in Sweden who was angry with his daughter's husband has been charged with libel for telling the FBI that the son-in-law had links to al-Qaeda, Swedish media reported on Friday.

The man, who admitted sending the email, said he did not think the US authorities would stupid enough to believe him.

The 40-year-old son-in-law and his wife were in the process of divorcing when the husband had to travel to the United States for business.

The wife didn't want him to travel since she was sick and wanted him to help care for their children, regional daily Sydsvenska Dagbladet said without disclosing the couple's names.

When the husband refused to stay home, his father-in-law wrote an email to the FBI saying the son-in-law had links to al-Qaeda in Sweden and that he was travelling to the US to meet his contacts.

He provided information on the flight number and date of arrival in the US.

The son-in-law was arrested upon landing in Florida. He was placed in handcuffs, interrogated and placed in a cell for 11 hours before being put on a flight back to Europe, the paper said.

The FBI contacted Swedish intelligence agency Saepo, which discovered that the email tipping off the FBI had been sent from the father-in-law's computer.

The father-in-law has been charged with aggravated libel.

He has admitted sending the email, but said he didn't think "the authorities were so stupid that they would believe anything. But apparently they are."

He said he "couldn't help the US authorities' paranoid reaction".

Here comes the C-string

In China, the 2005 estimate was more than 120 boys born to 100 girls, with India logging about 108 boys to 100 girls in 2001, when the last census was taken. However, pockets of India have rates of 120 boys. In several Chinese provinces, the ratio spikes to more than 130 boys born to 100 girls.It estimated Asia was short 163 million females in 2005 when compared to overall population balances of men and women elsewhere in the world. It said sex ratios at birth in other countries, such as Nepal, Pakistan and Bangladesh, also should be closely monitored to avoid uneven trends there.
"It's very difficult to imagine what's going to be the exact impact of these missing girls in 20 years," said Christophe Guilmoto, an author of the report presented this week at a reproductive health conference in Hyderabad, India. "No human society that we know has faced a similar problem."

Marshal law declared in Pakistan.All TV channels off air.Supreme court judges arrested.All mobile phone companies instructed to shut down their services in certain areas,and a country wide shut down of text messaging service.
Believe me or not,none of this bothers the general public.It is a big change for the politicians only

Scientists have begun blurring the line between human and animal by producing chimeras—a hybrid creature that's part human, part animal.
In Minnesota last year researchers at the Mayo Clinic created pigs with human blood flowing through their bodies.

And at Stanford University in California an experiment might be done later this year to create mice with human brains.

Scientists feel that, the more humanlike the animal, the better research model it makes for testing drugs or possibly growing "spare parts," such as livers, to transplant into humans.

Are we trying to play god?

Many incurable disease,such as SARS and even AIDS are thought to be run away microbes from laboratories.
There may be more in their laboratories which they can unleash at will,to earn profits.
It is always a good idea to make people buy their medicines by releasing some contagious disease every now and then.

Rant over

The U.S. Department of Labor reported in September 2004 that watching TV accounted for about half the leisure time on average for both American men and women (see chart below). The Department's Time Use Survey showed that watching TV was third in total daily use of time behind working and sleeping.

Go back 25 years and in my small mountainous town in northern Pakistan was still conservative.
There was only one TV channel,and all the country used the watch the same stuff from 5 in the evening to midnight.
That gave a sense of community,when people used to discuss last nights tv shows.
There was no satellite dish or cable tv with zillion channels.
I remember playing with empty shoe boxes,and making cars out of them.It used to be fun using my imagination and driving the shoe boxes as cars or trucks.
I had a little hobby of climbing trees.I was always on the look out for the highest tree around,and me with my friends used to spend days conquering the tree.
There was no cartoon network or Disney channel,so we did not spend hours in front of the television.
The only kids program was a 10 minute cartoon,at around 6 in the evening,and i never missed that.But that was it,as there was nothing else of any interest for kids on TV.
Then came the satellite TV,and then the cable,and now people's ideas of entertainment has totally changed.
Kids can easily spend a few hours watching cartoons,and adults can't decide which channel to watch,and keep abusing the remote control.
And i can't decide which adult website to visit and watch some hilarious titts
