This fight btw City Govt and Provicial Govt is getting incrising day by day..As Local Body elections are aproaching ..the game Naimat Ullah Vs MQM is creating more excitement; the city & provincial government continues to concentrate only on scoring political points. Both of Karachi's two major political parties, the Jamaat-e-Islami and the MQM, are mired in trivial issues of inaugurating on even small development schemes. Wherever the fault lies, the bustling metropolis of Karachi is in shambles, despite the... Read More

A blonde with two red ears went to her doctor. The doctor asked her what had happened to her ears and she answered, "I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang - but instead of picking up the phone I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear." "Oh Dear!" the doctor exclaimed in disbelief. "But. what happened to your other ear?" "The son of a bitch called back."

A woman gets home, screeches her car into the driveway, runs into the house, slams the door and shouts at the top of her lungs, "Honey, pack your bags, I've won the lottery!"

Terrorism has no creed, it emanates only from fundamentalism of the faith it belongs. The worst enemies of Islam are from within, Our Prophet said, peace be upon him, "Beware of extremism in your religion." Islam is the middle way between excess and neglect and no doubt, everybody has right to believe in what ever he/she wills. Every True Muslim has advocated tolerance for all communities and strongly opposed to religious extremism. Because of the result of schisms between various group of Islamic doctrine... Read More

A man is sitting on his front stoop staring morosely at the ground when his neighbor strolls over. The neighbor tries to start a conversation several times, but the older man barely responds. Finally, the neighbor asks what the problem is. "Well," the man says, "I ran afoul of one of those questions women ask. Now I'm in the doghouse." "What kind of question?" the neighbor asks. "My wife asked me if I would still love her when she was old, fat and ugly." "That's easy," says the neighbor. "You just sa... Read More

People thought this was a good or atleast decent movie. I thought concept, story and the movie overall was total crap! Anyone else share that view or disagree?? Synopsis: In this film that epitomizes the American love for baseball, Ray Kinsella, a struggling Iowa farmer (Kevin Costner), obeys a mysterious voice in his cornfield that tells him to replace part of his crop with a baseball diamond, resulting in the magical meeting of baseball heroes from the past.
June 2, 2005 at 1:24pmi don't know if its my love for baseball or my undying appetite for corn, but i've always liked 'field of dreams.' besides, it spawned one of the most quoted lines in recent mem...
