Allegedly Pakistan on Wednesday summoned the United States Ambassador Anne W Patterson in the Foreign Office here to lodge a protest over Angoor Adda incident. Now it’s not really clear as Pakistani authorities lashed at the Patterson or Anne dear spewed venom at the Pakistani authorities for not giving enough blood to spill in Angoor Adda.

Sledging is the practice in cricket of insulting opponents to break their concentration and cause them to make mistakes. Sledging is effective because the batsman stands within hearing range of the bowler and certain fielders. The aim is to intimidate or distract the batsman into making a fatal mistake and being dismissed. There is debate in the cricketing world over whether this is poor sportsmanship or good-humoured banter. Here are some great examples of the fine art of sledging"

Kahlilzad tries to set the record straight. Is it really his fault that he has contacts and knows how to talk to leaders in South Asia and the Middle East?


This won't go over well in Pakistan.



Seit Monate setzen die USA Pakistans Regierung unter Druck, Operationen ihrer Soldaten auf pakistanischem Gebiet gegen militante Islamisten in den Gebieten entlang der Grenze zu Afghanistan zuzulassen. Nun kam es zum vermutlich ersten Mal zu einer Kommandooperation US-geführter Bodentruppen im Nordwesten des Landes.

Water is not clear. It is due to garbage being dumped into Lake saiful muluk by visitors and stall vendors. Animals stroll freely around it besided horses which are convenience of tourists but their manure goes directly into clear water of Lake ... WHO Cares?

Grave Stone 02

Shot at Chaukhandi Tombes, during my visit to Karachi on 21/May, 2008.

Chaukhandi (Urdu: چوکنڈی) tombs, are attributed to Jokhio and Baloch tribes and were build between 15th and 18th centuries. It is situated 29 km east of Karachi on N-5 National Highway near Landhi Town.The Chaukhandi tombs are remarkable for the elaborate and exquisite carving; the style of architecture is not only typical to the region of Sindh but unique in the sense that it is no where else to be found in the Islamic world.
