27 Apr 2012 | 1:24 pmYesterday’s photo of the gifts from Standard Chartered certainly drew a lot of comments from many of you. I think the thought was a good one but the basic thing that they forgot to focus on was “Know your customer”. Considering how much information banks get from you when you open an account, it is easy for them to know the interests/age/gender/profession of a person. Many girls/women are interested in cricket. I am a great cricket fan but I have never played the game and at my age, I am not likely to. So the helmet and ball could be put on a shelf in my office for… -

I saved a life today!
14 Apr 2012 | 1:10 pmI saved a life today – and I am sure so did you! In fact each of us probably saves several lives every day! How, you might ask? If you drive on the streets of Karachi, you will be no stranger to the fact that as you are driving quietly and sedately on an open road, a child (or an adult) suddenly jumps in front of your car without any warning. This happens to me several times a day as I drive through the city. My reflexes have to be excellent so that I don’t run over one of these daring (or should I say foolishly unaware and unconcerned) people. Should I, God Forbid, fail to slam… -
An angel who continues to live in our hearts
2 Apr 2012 | 1:56 pmNine years ago I remember coming apart at the seams on April 1, 2003 when the one person who represented unconditional love, gentleness, beauty, compassion, joy and understanding in our lives was taken from us; someone who made each one of us feel very special; a person who took great pride in our teeniest achievements – whose life centered completely around us. She derived her happiness from ours; she felt the pain of every heartbreak we felt while we were growing up. She was married very young and more or less grew up with us. She was more than just our mother and our guardian…

Business Incubation: False Hopes and Shattered Dreams…
9 May 2012 | 3:28 pmWhen a 19th century romantic French writer by the name of Victor Hugo said “Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come” he obviously could not envision Pakistani bureaucracy. Not only can it reduce an idea to nothing more than its meager skeletal remains squirming in its own vile, it too often does. Come 2004, the IT bubble is about to burst in a military run, democratic, American influenced politically independent subcontinent country by the name of Pakistan. It is here in our story that along comes an idea. It is a simple idea yet revolutionary in every way, the idea to… -

Another SHAM ICT Funding Project
25 Apr 2012 | 10:07 amThere are two main things that are currently causing out growth in ICT to stall. One is the lack of original ideas, so most of the entrepreneurs either copy what is already around internationally or locally (same ideas of online shopping, online bidding) we still have not hit the jackpot with someone creating some thing like instagram or drawsomething and being acquired by one of the big names. The second issue always lamented by entrepreneurs is lack of any funding sources in Pakistan. Over the years we have seen efforts being made to create funds which would help but what ended happening… -
8th Layer of Networking
22 Apr 2012 | 3:36 pmWe all know about the 7 layers of the OSI model. This is the framework by which computer networks are defined. Starting with the physical layer, going through the transport layer and finally culminating in the application layer where end user applications reside. I believe that this should be redefined to include and additional layer – the Social Layer. From the current vantage point, the Social Layer lies right above the Application layer – hence it is served by the Application layer. The 90s witnessed a boom in what is now referred to as web 1.0. This consisted of static applications…

We have collected some thoughts about him by people who knew him best Kamal Ahmed Rizvi The Progressive Writers Movement never completely owned and recognised Manto in his life.

He was not interested. Period. He did wish to be told of his greatness. He simply did not… -

National Sovereignty, What Sovereignty?
14 May 2012 | 12:34 amBy Raza Habib Raja One of the most hyped up slogans on the media and the rightwing nationalist circles is of “National Sovereignty”. This slogan is so powerful that Pakistani leadership particularly that of PPP is always on the defensive. According to this “National Sovereignty” school of thought, Pakistan has sold its soul to the foreign powers due to personal greed of the ruler class and has compromised the autonomy by facilitating the drone attacks. People like Imran Khan have made a full career out of opposition to these attacks. Not surprisingly these attacks, despite killing… -

Google hopes to invade Cloud Storage by launching Google Drive

It would be interesting to see, Dropbox offering 25GB-50GB free storage in coming months too. It’s my speculation, but this would be a better tactic than lowering their prices. Because this is not where they should be competing at.There are various giant sized internet companies namely, Apple, Google and Microsoft. Each of them have their own… -
