Lasania Cattle – Sacrificial Animals

MB — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:21:44 +0000

Over the years marketing has taken different dimensions and the medium of internet is no exception. One trend is designing websites for sacrificial animals. Here is one for you. Will post others if i come across :

www.lasaniacattle.com.
Gallery section is designed well, video section is a broken link and “About us” is also incomplete. Not sure if this flash-loader is a good idea here. Better skip to main content. Reason i am posting this is people want to jump onto “kaam kee baat” i.e some snaps or animals and contact which is very much there.

Karachi Deals

Afreen — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 06:51:45 +0000

I recently came across an interesting service: KarachiDeals, which carries information about a host of deals and promotions in telecom, clothing, fast food, apparel, restaurants, travel etc. Being a Karachiite this site would appeal to anyone who wants to find deals in their areas of interest. For Ramadan, many Iftar, Sehri and Eid shopping deals have also been added.

The website has easy navigation with blog like tags and search options but I think they could do more to make it stand out. The most attractive feature is that it not only lists down latest deals and promotions but also carries images of the ad promoting the deals, adding to the authenticity of what is being said.

Definitely worth checking out and revisit if you are interested in discounts and deals.

McDonalds Teacher Day appreciation program – Does NOT protect student privacy

Teeth Maestro — Tue, 12 May 2009 17:43:31 +0000

McDonalds - Sab Sey Best Teacher Kaun? Campaign Billboard

Yesterday while on a routine visit to the McDonalds for a regular family meal on Tariq Road I noticed their new teacher appreciation program “Sab Say Best Teacher Kaun” an attempt to select the best teacher by public voting from the 20th April at all McDonalds outlets, in return the kids may even win themselves a free Kiddy Meal.

Surely this is a commendable social effort, appreciating the hard working teachers. On the form provided by McDonalds the student has to write a short comment as to why the teacher should be selected and in order to complete the entry [possibly to also win the prize] they also share their personal contact information and school particulars, submitting these entries to the respective McDonalds outlets

Hundreds of Student entrants for the Sab Sey Best Teacher Kaun Campaign - Names and Contact numbers on display

The organizers then place these submissions on all their outlets but quite surprisingly have not bothered to concealing the personal particulars of the participating students. Their personal contact details which include his/her name, school particulars and even their home/cell phone numbers are publicly on display. Quite apparently a serious lapse in protecting the privacy information.

Contact information openly available

McDonalds Pakistan needs to be immediately condemned and we must urge the management to immediately take down this public display, issue an apology and be weary of such lapses in the future..

Kashif Iqbal Thalassaemia Care Center (KITCC)

Faisal.K — Fri, 08 May 2009 14:53:52 +0000

Thalassaemia major is a fatal disease of the blood. Many people go on through their lives while having thalassaemia minor and never knowing about it. When two such individuals produce a child , the child has a very large chance of having Thalassaemia major.

For a Thalassaemia patient to have any chance of survival they need a blood transfusion every 15 days of their life. Currently the demand for blood for these patients is 15000 bottles of blood a month. The blood banks of this city cannnot and do not provide enough blood for these patients and this is why many of them die premature deaths, many times before reaching adulthood.

Kashif Iqbal Thalassaemia Care Centre (KITCC) is all set to launch a blood bank which will cater exclusively to the needs of these patients. A year ago MB from Karachi metroblogs did a post about this organization here.

All of us can give blood once every 3 months, I urge all of you reading this to please if possible provide blood to this organization. Your precious blood will save a persons life through them. I also urge all the bloggers of this forum to take up on Mb’s initiative and spread the message of awareness for this center and disease. It is very important for 2 thalasaemia minor patients not to marry and have children to add to the toll of this disease, for this people are advised to get blood tests done before marriage.

Please note (KITCC) provides blood “FREE OF COST”. i personally will not only be donating blood for this cause but will try to round up as many people as I can to do this. Please help, your help is needed now!!!!

Port Grand Retail & Entertainment Complex

Raja Islam — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 06:41:11 +0000

Yesterday I received an email from a friend about the most awaited food street of Karachi which is still under construction. If i recall correctly the place has been under construction since quite a few years under the Nati Jetty bridge. With this the curious I thought of investigating. I took the only clues that i had to further investigate (the email from a friend). On further investigation I found that Port grand a US based company is working on this project and it was expected to get completed in 2006 but for unknown reasons they are almost 3 years behind the project deadline.

I am fond of street mAAlish (Massage) so last month when I reached for mAAlish at Natty Jetty I found that all mAAlishiyas were gone and people were not allowed to stand on the bridge. Upon asking a ranger jawan who was standing alert at around 3AM in the morning he replied that the TPO(Town Police Officer) imposed this ban.

From the email and the investigation done, i guess it looks like we should expect an opening of Grand food street in the near future, or my gut feelings are incorrect and it is just another way of getting BATTHAs from poor mAAlishiyas.

Below is the link about project details

Fire & Ice at Cafe Koel

Teeth Maestro — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 22:32:56 +0000

A new coffee house cum restaurant has opened up on 26th street named Cafe Koel, this is located in the same lane as Cafe Flo [new location off 26th street]. The cafe is owned an operated by NoorJehan Belgrami and presents a very casual setting. Food presentation is good but needs a little more finishing touch, the best part of Cafe Koel is the assortment of appetizers and drinks, some love the Imili drink but I simply could not resist the temptation to gulp down two ice cold glasses of a Koel specialty drink called Fire and Ice.

Fire and Ice is a cold, sweet and spicy drink, so many tingling taste buds but simply delicious and it barely costs a Rs. 100. Cafe Koel is not too expensive and may run a main course dish at roughly 450-500 per head [main course and drink]

I would recommend people to swing by and test it out, it has the knack of becoming a must-go to coffee house in Karachi, but we still await a little more finesse
