Stop Before Zebra Crossing Line & Be In Your Track

No one will come from heaven to teach us these traffic ethics, its time to change ourselves, there are many people living in Karachi or any region/part of Pakistan have dual citizenship (person having foriegn nationality as well Pakistani citizenship) whether they lived in USA, Europe, Australia or from any state of Gulf, they follow all international traffic rules when driving in these countries but when they come here in Pakistan to spend their holidays or meeting their families they forget everything, just switch on the ignition bring car in first gare and press full the accelerator, for God sake you are coming from a well managed area, you are supposed to be a well managed and organized person, what are you doing? I am not blaming all non-residents nor I am saying that people residing permanently here are follow all rules, but its a reality, its a fact. Just watch the traffic on any signal of any road throughout the Pakistan, you may believed that what I am saying is a truth.

But the questions are that we are now 63 years old, when we will learn these ethics, should we waiting for any teacher? Do we need a good leadership for these? Is this only responsibility of Law and not of us?

Please, please, please, if you could not follow all rules of traffic kindly follow only 2 rules;

1- Stop before zebra crossing line.
2- Never bunk or switch your track unnecessarily, if you want to move to other track give proper indication.

Think about it and think hard. If even a single person turn himself after reading these lines and follow only 2 rules mentioned above and he will I am damn sure then I will think that my efforts for giving to this post will fruit full.

Salman Butt As Captain, A New Joke

After resigning Shahid Afridi from Pakistani Cricket Team, Aijaz Butt the Chairman PCB choose an inexperience opening batsman as captain for test cricket, Aijaz Butt is leading the cricket team with wearing black goggles, I think its time for government to examine the public and private organizations with discrimination test. Salman Butt who could hardly survive as an opening batsman on wicket, he has no sound record in cricket but appointed as captain and when someone called these things a joke then whats wrong with it.

I am leaving other senior cricketers who still playing with Pakistani Cricket team and just talking only about Abdul Razzaque who regularly playing with team from last 2 years and giving performance as well. Razzaque was the right person when Younis Khan was appointed as captain but he is ignore at that time. Now either from seniority or from performance basis there is no reason to avoid Abdul Razzaque, he could lead the team and a last option for saving the team. Second test of England sereis is not so far but the result of this test is not so much different from the 1st test then it will be the responsibility of Salman Butt to leave the team for the sake of Pakistani Cricket as Afridi do at this time.

I Am Sucked With Chinese & Japenese Comment Posters

Yes truly I am sucked with these spam posters when ever I've opened my blogger dashboard (usually daily) one or two comments of either in Japanese or Chinese language existed in moderation form, when I gladly go there saying that ahaa! here comes a new comment but all my happiness vanished when there are only few lines of comment not related to my post with a long train of URLs followed by small dot like these " . . . ." at the end of single lined comment. When I checked the profile of these comment posters what I saw that there is no blog or even if existed then only 1 or 2 posts.

I am running 6 blogs at blogger platform 3 of them have moderation form only but the other 3 blogs have direct comment posting but I am now enabling moderation form there too. But this is not the solution blogging is a nice way to explain ones ideas to the world, its a fun and simultaneously way to gain knowledge, most of bloggers says that its a passion for them. But bad ethics are curtailing its charm. Few years ago webmasters use the blog to gain links for their sites so that they can improve their google page rank the practice get the term of link spamming, Google raised step forward at that time and now making rules for that by enabling 'rel=nofollow" and even removing its own Page Rank system widget from its webmasters program.

I am appealing here from all major stakeholders of web to do something for these spam comment posters too. I can't wait anymore.
