National bloggers conference

To all the Bloggers out there and the Bloggerettes and the Blaggers and the Blaggerrets, the 18th of April shall see us gather under the roof of Regent Plaza Hotel Karachi to unleash our collective might upon this land.

Hmm sounds skeery? Actually no its going to be a “National Bloggers Conference” where the IT ministry is doing the organizing (check the fancy digs people) and the bloggers of Pakistan will be meeting, discussing, gossiping(we are bloggers) informing and having some fun along the way.

Seating is limited so please sign up at the following link. Suggestions are welcome here and will be routed to the organizers.

By the looks of the speakers panel things will be pretty entertaining. The event shall start at 4pm on the 18th of April, please keep reading this space for further updates.

Hope to see you all there!!!!!

    So the open model of Blogging will be controlled by the extremist party who usually kill those who they disagree.

    A "good" move by MQM to keep an eye on opponents in cyberspace.

    Hazrat Wasiq, wo zamana tha Jab Bhutto Mian apna Akhri Sansain Gin Rahay thay Jail mey bethay Huway. Us zamana may Altaf Hussian KU ke ek sharif student huwa karta thay aur apni Honda 50 mey Ghar se Balo me KHizab…sorry tail laga kar nikaltay thay aur aur university se seedhay ghar aur ghar se University. Majal hay k Idher uhdar kabhi dekha ho!


  9. wasiq on April 12th, 2009 @ 10:52 am

    @siddiqui sab….wah wah kya zamana tha….hum log color tv pey black&white Kojak(telly savalas)dekhtey thay…aur anghota lollypop choostey thay….chips dekhtey thay aur chips khatey thay…..

    merey bachpan kay din kitney achchay thay din……
    aaj beithey betha ay keun yaad aa gaay….


  10. Adnan Siddiqi (adnansiddiqi) on April 12th, 2009 @ 12:47 pm

    @wasiq: Hazrat Wala, Hum jaise aam logo ko Bachpan k din yad aye tu koi nahi pochta. Hamaray ek Wardi Walay dost ko apna bachpan yaad aya tu unho ney Kitab Likh Dali aur Bangladesh aur Pakistan ko Mohabbat K Samad Bond se Jornay ki Koshish Ki. Tu kia huwa Agar maasi thi? Thee tu Bangalan na? AUr Bangal ka Shair aur Husun DOno Qatil hain ..shayed wohi Qatil Nigahain hamary Wardi Walay Bhai ko Khagayeen


  11. ameerhamza on April 12th, 2009 @ 1:01 pm

    It is good that they have all the bloggers on a single table. Look out for any un wanted spy agency there. It is after all an emerging media!


  12. yahudi4 on April 12th, 2009 @ 4:22 pm

    here in karachi I see two kinds of blogging/bloggers….blogging for fun and blogging for recognition….I am from the first category….this conference would be a waste of time for me.thanks anyways.
    ps:my postal address has not changed.


  13. wasiq on April 13th, 2009 @ 7:57 am

    @siddiqui sab…..sir you wont believe this that I have not read the book you are referring to…although I did see the interviews of the co-author….to me the most important thing in life is that..That person was not able to impose martial’s law in Pakistan…some people might argue that his declaration of emergency and removal of chief judge was an act of martial’s law or no law….but as an expert of the unwritten british constitution I can say that the way he did it was within the constitution….he broke no law…infact he moved the supreme judical council….confirming and assuring it to the world that there is no martial’s law in pakistan…..
    as far as bangla beauties are concerned….I believe everybody has infatuations….that chapter was included for the british readers…they feel good if a pakistani army officer feel remorse about letting go of the east….publicly….I remember the first time Bangladesh cricket team defeated Pakistan’s on the roll team….in the world cup….

  26. yahudi4 on April 15th, 2009 @ 8:06 am

    Thanks buddy…I’ll try…had no idea the dough was so scarce around….thought limited seating like the medical admissions….still believe that its not the bishop’s sister’s son wedding….for a serious blogger it might mean something…a break of a lifetime…or maybe something to blog and brag about.


  27. wasiq on April 15th, 2009 @ 12:21 pm

    @fasee sab….it’s almost 1:30 pm sir…aaj lunch break nahein hua…ya subah kisi ney othaya hee nahein….


  28. karachiet on April 15th, 2009 @ 4:44 pm

    Hmmmm nice initiative, on a side note (after following the link) may we stand corrected on two things, 1. the official spelling of province is ‘Sindh’ and not ‘Sind’, 2. ‘Ministry’ is the term used for Federal Government therefore in Provincial Government it is phrased as Information Technology ‘Department’ and not ‘Ministry’


  29. wasiq on April 15th, 2009 @ 9:38 pm

    @Karachiet…sir very interesting observation indeed…..An IT department that is headed by a minister….is still called a department and not ministry…why?
    lack of funds…perhaps!


  30. fasee on April 16th, 2009 @ 12:03 am

    @wasiq

    And a woman married to a gay is still called a wife…isn’t it….

    Wow such deep thought…I almost drowned


  31. wasiq on April 16th, 2009 @ 4:56 am

    @fasee sab….no sir..a woman married to a gay is called unhappy or bored!

    How can you live a lie
    When you know it’s wrong
    And you know it’s not right
    When you say you do
    But you know you don’t
    When you say you will
    But you know that you won’t
    When you’re not alive
    You should let it die
    Just let go, just let go, of the pain inside
    Tell me how do you know
    Tell me how to let go
    Tell me how, how, how


  32. fasee on April 16th, 2009 @ 10:43 am

    @ wasiq.

    my placement wud be like…..an unintrested husband, a unhappy wife, and a very very happy neighbour…now THAT comepltes the equation……waisay aap bi apni parodsan ka buhat ziker kertay hain…..hmmmmmmmmmm


  33. wasiq on April 16th, 2009 @ 1:26 pm

    The European Commission has announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

    As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".

    In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".
    Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
    The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

    In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

    Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
    By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
    During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.

    Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

    Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
    If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl
    What a contemplation!! I wonder sometime . . . people have so much time to think of these things. I don’t know the origin, however, it’s a good effort. I apprecaite the fertility of such minds.
