Why Love is important in our life


Why love is important in life? Love is the most important thing in our lives. The love is that we missing in our self, and love is mix with many of feeling. There are two types of love are love of family and love for your sweetheart.

First of all, the love of your family is different from that you have for your sweetheart. The love for your family something you need it in your live, because they will protect you from everything in this live. The family is like human body everyone needs another, and everyone helps another. For example the family like a house that if you feel cold you go inside because you know you will feel warmly. Everyone knows what the meaning of family for him is. The love of family is kind of innate love you gained because love with them for many years.

Second, love for your sweetheart is that feeling like someone who owns all the world. This love is one of hard emotion that may be hard to explain it in some words. The love for sweetheart is kind of doesn't care about the rules or religion or culture. Some of men when you asked him about you qualities that you want in your future sweetheart? The answer will be beauty , but the beautiful is not including in love. Because this kind of love depend on confidence ,feeling, and loyalty. For example there are story talking about the loyalty , there are a man long time age loved girl and the girl loved him too, but he had to leave the city for different reasons . he went for his sweetheart and said you may marriage any man because I'm not sure if I will come back. After 30 years he came back for the city and he had sure she got marriage, but in the fact she didn't get marriage, and she was witting him to come back ,this is real meaning for the loyalty.

In conclusion, love is beautiful feeling that you make happy .everyone have his meaning and feeling for the love, because everyone own different feeling for his family or his sweetheart. The love is something that you can challenging the condition
for it.

Every Girls' Thoughts' On Being Single


I am single because okay minds blank now. Maybe because guys need only one thing. HAHA. You got it -.-

Sometimes i feel like abusing such guys. I dont know why. They deserve it. BIG TIME.

You know those mother sister brother abuses but then maybe they don't have a mom or maybe they don't love her. Well whatever. Why am i in such a jolly mood in writing such a article right now? I have no idea.

Well, there are cute guys too. CUTE SWEET LOVING. And i know them and i know their girlfriends too. Sighs. SIGHS SIGHS !

Tourists Killing in Fairy Meadows


The unprecedented attack in Pakistan's normally peaceful Himalayan region is spotlighting the conspicuous increase in violence throughout the country; just weeks after a new civilian government took office vowing to quell militancy. The Himalayas Range in northern Pakistan offers five the highest peaks for the amazing climb in the world. Its peaks are a magnet for experienced mountaineers, often from Europe.
President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Gilgit-Baltistan chief minister Syed Mehdi Shah promptly condemned the attack in an area of the far-flung north not previously associated with violence that plagues other parts of the country. In this regard Nawaz said, "Such acts of cruelty and inhumanity would not be tolerated and every effort would be made to make Pakistan a safe place for tourists.”
Notably, Diamer-Bhasha Dam is also under-construction on the River Indus nearer to tourists’ killing area of Gilgit-Baltistan. Its foundation stone was laid by Former Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani of Pakistan on 18 October 2011 and will be completed after 12 years. The dam site is situated near a place called "Bhasha" in Gilgit-Baltistan's Diamer District, hence the name. It will produce 4,500 megawatts of electricity; (ii) store an extra 8,500,000 acre feet (10.5 km3) of water; (iii) extend the life of Tarbela Dam located downstream by 35 years; and last but not the least will help in controlling the flood damage in the downstream of Indus River.
Anyhow, the attackers’ objectives could be to jeopardize future foreign expeditions by mountaineers, spoiling Pak-China relationship, stopping investors from investing money in an unsafe country and create panic in the Chinese engineers working on Diamer-Bahasha Dam Project.
Thus, the stated objectives very clearly indicate that same hands are behind tourists killing who are suspects against attacks in Mardan, Ziarat, Peshawar, Quetta and Karachi. We can also make out from the ongoing militancy that, CIA, RAW, Mossad Afghan Intelligence Agencies and MI-6 have zoned out Pakistan into their area of operations into North, North West and West. These foreign agencies are funding militant organization to spread sectarianism, separation of Balochistan, promote anarchy and political instability. Moreover, their obvious intentions are to portray Pakistan as an insecure nation and unsafe country and we can unquestionably recognize them as U.S., India and Britain. We as nation instead roaring on past should come on same page to defeat foreign agenda and militancy for the peaceful and bright future.

PALAZZO PANTS FEVER IN PAKISTAN - WRITTEN BY FAKEHA ALI


Everyone was so busy in their final exams that no one got to know properly, whats this thing that is so much trendy in Pakistan now a days? Yes you heard me, i am talking about Palazzo wear. 











PALAZZO PALAZZO PALAZZO. Still need some good pictures right. But first let me inform you that yes, many girls are unable to wear them the western way, the way they wear it , but good news coming up, you can wear them with a normal top size shirt too. But i prefer it to not go too long as it would then create a massive damage to overall look.
I like the prints , the colors, the mixed up designs make it way too classic.
WEAR THEM WITH HIGH HEELS AND THE PALAZZOS, MORE LONG , MORE GOOD. 
DON'T OVERDO. Keep it simple. Keep it classy. Make your own palazzo. I found it really bad that the people who are making designer palazzos are asking for Rs. 7K per palazzo. I mean NO. Never. We can make it way trendy and the online shops? Wallaaa!

Wear it. Be trendy. Be stylish. GOOD FOR SUMMERS TOO.

Favorite dish: Too many. It won't fit here.

Then I started getting into choirs and sang national songs and anthem. And now, I'm here haha. Singing along with big singers. Honestly, I never knew I'll make it this far. I thank Allah for this.

Study background? Lol... you'd be lost reading this. I've done my high school from Chicago. I had to move back to Pakistan because my parents wanted me to. I got into Bahria University Islamabad and started my BBA. Then I had to shift to Lahore and continued my Bachelors from Kinnaird College and AGAIN I'm moving back to States.
What are your songs about? Well, my songs are happy go lucky. I want it to be all about friends. I hope I don't get to make a love song.

Who inspired you to become a singer? I'm not inspired by anyone actually. I'm just doing it for fun.
That one artist you would love to work with? Oh. This makes me sad. If Nazia Hassan was alive, oh I'd love to work with her. Honestly, no one can beat her, still.
Define music/singing in your own words? Music can't be described in words. It just refills your energy.
Changes your emotion.
Is there any message you consistently try to portray in your music? I am a person who likes to make people dance. So yeah. I want my audience to have fun and relax. Think about their friends and family.
If you got a record deal at this second, would you accept it? It depends on my priorities. If I got a deal right now, I'd manage it. So its a yes.
Would you prefer performing solo or with band? I prefer working with my sister. We have this ignite together. So, its a band for now.
Best performance yet? I still have to give my best.
Views about Pakistani music industry? I think the industry is pretty ahead of the game, though they need to improvise more. Promote young talent rather than the old ones.
Which Pakistani female vocalist would you like to collaborate with? Nazia Hassan for sure! Nobody else.
Which Pakistani male vocalist would you like to collaborate with? I've collaborated with Ali Zafar, Taimur Shahid Malik, Farhan Saeed and Mustafa Zahid already. My next choice would be someone who comes up with an innovative idea.
How much role does the sound editing software’s play in a final ready to listen song? I haven't seen it yet. I've been in with the backing vocals, so sound editing isn't used much there. Though, I'm guessing it takes a lot of effort and time to get the final song ready.
Which musical instrument do you play really well? Guitar and piano
Worst comment by any hater? You should have sung something else. Your voice doesn't suit that.
Any upcoming projects? Gearing up for a debut song
Any message for your fans: I'd say, whatever happens is always for a reason. You'd learn from it and in


future you will look back at it and laugh at yourself. I know, I've done that.
Where can we find you online? Facebook or Twitter 
How do you interact with your fans? Usually, Facebook.
Views about Islotimes: Islotimes is doing a pretty good job promoting the young talent of Pakistan. It raises self esteem of people like us. So thumbs up!

EYE TO EYE SONG - Tahir Shah

MAN OF STEEL – Review By DANIAL HAYAT KHAN








When it comes to Super-Heroes on Big Screen, there’s always a big hype, this trend has developed specially in the past decade after Huge success of SpiderMan, IronMan and Batman. With the announcement of the new SuperMan film “Man of Steel”, Directed by Zack Snyder – the guy who directed 300, Screenplay by David S. Goyer and Produced by the critically acclaimed Director and Producer “Christopher Nolan” of The Dark Knight trilogy and Inception, audience has high expectations from the new Super Man film. The story kicks off with General Zod’s attempts of taking control over the council/ leaders of Krypton. The planet is dying and in order to preserve the Kryptonian race, the chief scientist Jor-El (Russel Crowe) rockets his son Kal El (the first natural born child after centuries) to another planet “Earth”. The rocket is found by an old childless couple (Kevin Costner and Diane Lane) who raise the boy help him strive against the not so natural abilities anyone could possessive on planet earth and keep his real identity secret. Meanwhile Zod locates Kal and comes to planet earth after 33 years of search to finish the human race and finish off Kal. And in this hour of need, Hope – (which is also the meaning of “S” on his chest) is emerged to protect the human race.
Rebooting the franchise was a good idea and Zack Snyder if compared with the previous Super Man films has done a marvelous job. Super Man was portrayed, better than ever in Man of Steel, but there was something missing in those 143 minutes you spend sitting and staring at the screen. He has always been a difficult character to bring on the screen, be it his scripted character or the perfect actor who has the Super Man built and physique to present on the big screen. With so many problems Zack Snyder was able to promise what the title of the film stated - “Man of Steel” with loads of action packed in the film, the super powers of Kal El and most importantly his fight with General Zod and his minions to save planet earth. But then again these fight sequences in the film were a clichรฉ because of their repetition. The film should have explored other areas like his coming of age and discovering of his powers with a slow brief and in depth angle. The rhythm of the film was also toppling over the story, one thing was happening over the other, there was no consistency in the story except the end where it’s one long day of fighting and destruction. One thing fans and critics complained most was, the film had no humor or joy, majority of the film was dry. Apart from the story, the protagonist was missing something major in the plot. When it’s a Super hero film, there is always gotta be 2 Protagonist played by the same person and this case it was Cavil. Goyer could have gone, instead he should have gone into a more distinctive and diverse roles for both Kal El and Clark Kent that would have helped to separate both characters. However General Zod was played with the perfect evilish-mind intensity by Michael Shannon.
Mark’s Army of Special Effects team was able to pull a fantastic job to show the world, What Super Man is made up of and what he is capable to do, this brought a charm in Man of Steal, that never existed before. With the super power and super speed fighting style, as well as flight in super speed but too
much destruction was caused using this, Metropolis was almost brought down to it’s end with everything building being destroyed and wait a minute didn’t this happen before in a movie, Wasn’t it Chicago in Transformers: Dark of the Moon, where Decepticons had brought down the entire city. All this hardwork could have been used in some other domain. And the story even though kept quite intact with the comics, still couldn’t find it’s way through, We have seen so many alien invasion movies and 2 years back another Super Hero film related to Alien invasion hit the screens, Yes I’m talking about Thor but was Man of Steel offering us something different, something like The Dark Knight with countless twists and turns. Obviously one could expect a story within a story if Chris is involved in a project but seems like he was hardly present on the set when the shooting took place, the only face to face in detail interaction he had with Zack was when the film was in post-production. World’s first Super Hero has always been a difficult job to bring on screen with perfection but long story short, it was a Good Superman comeback even though he was only addressed as “Superman” just once in the film.

 The glitches of the film can be overcome in the sequel of Man of Steel where I hope to see two distinct voices of Clark Kent and Kal El (Super Man) as well and best part was for the first time Superman isn’t wearing his underwear inside out the costume.

Why???



It was a hot weather in Karachi and hot winds were blowing but I was unaware of it because I was sitting in a AC coffee bar where we were having a coffee and was having a debate on the situation of Pakistan from last 2hours. As usual he was against all the traditional political parties and I was supporting them and was answering his tough questions. I was about to order another cup of coffee, I don’t know how much cup of coffee I took but my friend said to me that it’s your seventh cup and I was oh my god!!!

I was very deeply involved in the debate. He came to Pakistan after a long time of about 10years. We are childhood friends and  when we were 10 he left the country and now when he is 21 he came to Pakistan and call me that I am back and want to meet you. His name is USMAN SHEIKH, he is doing bachelors in Avionics from Abu Dhabi university Abu Dhabi. He was ahead of me in the debate and at some points I was speechless because I cannot close my eyes on the harsh facts of the country.

During all this political debate we turned to Education and start talking about education he straight away said to me, ”you cannot correct education through technocrats and business men he said.”you can see everywhere in Pakistan no matter which political party is in government, the situation of education is getting worst and worst day by day”.

I said to him,”Gen.(r)Musharraf established a head institute called HEC for education which is responsible for the development of universities and colleges in the country. He said to me,”it’s not a matter of establishing a head institution but it is a matter of explaining a right rule to institutes, universities and colleges, it is a matter of helping institution for research.

I said, “correcting mistakes need time in fact a very long term time he stopped me and said “don’t you think last 25years was enough to correct that types of mistakes and I was speech less  at that moment”. I said to him “previous government and new government is giving subsidy to education and allocate a huge amount for education in both federal and provisional budgets, I continue and said government is also giving a huge amount of fund to HEC which will be distributed among government universities and colleges for their betterment in the research field and for introducing new programs for undergraduate and post graduates and through these fund universities and colleges will introduce more chances for new students. He taunts me and said “oh! Come one you better know where this money will go??” I said “oh! Come on not every government is thieve, hope for the best. He said “this Hope, this Hope destroy us, this hope destroy our souls our values”. He become very emotional .

I said to him, “I accept the fact that we didn’t do anything for education from past 63years but I think after 63years now we have a better chance to correct these types of mistakes”. I Said to him, “Number of different government universities and colleges are established which are offering different new programs for undergraduate and post graduate and also many different private sector universities and colleges are establish with collaboration of foreign universities for the betterment of students.

He said,”try to become a man of down to earth some people distribute education just for one class of the society as far as the private universities and colleges are concerned a middle class and lower middle class student cannot get admission in the private college or university due to high fee structure and when it comes to government universities and colleges one who have a strong relation with student parties or with admission committee can get admission in the government college and university and you are the perfect example of it. At the moment I feel that someone slaps me very badly but I control my emotions and listen him very carefully. He continue and said, “A cobbler cannot cut your hairs for this you have to go to a hair dresser, this is a perfect example for our education system we’ve given the field to technocrats and business men and we’ve make a impact that if someone wants to become rich over night he should open a school, we cannot correct our education system unless or until we got the people who deserve this field, who have a vast experience in this field, who have a strong intention to correct the system, who have a sense of responsibility, who wants to see Pakistan a educated country and if we won’t do this we will be no more in this world and our coming and younger generation will suffer and suffer”.

I was almost agreed with his point that we have to make a good decision if we wants to correct the education system.

It was about 4:00PM in the evening and still we haven’t ordered the lunch and waiter was waiting for it that when we order the lunch. After a long pause we ordered the lunch. Still there were hot winds blowing outside the restaurant and it was about 35®C in the evening.

The life was in full swing in the restaurant, everyone was enjoying their lunch but two people who were sitting on the table near to the window was not in a mood of doing lunch and it was getting cold and cold with the passage of time.

We were having a big pause and then I break the ice and said to him, “what do you think is the solution of the problem?”. After a long pause he said to me, “All the traditional politicians have the solution regarding national and security issues but they are not in a mood to implement it in the country because they knows that if people got educated they will be no more in the country”.

It was quite a big sentence for me to digest and it sum up all the debate. He said, “Our traditional politicians are not in a mood of distributing powers to middle and lower middle classes because they know they are the real ones which can change the whole country. The world is full of examples that middle class and lower middle class have vast amount of talent just like Nelson Mandela, Alex Haley, Art Book wild, Gabriel Marquez, Ahmedi Nizad, Barack Obama, Mahateer Muhammad, Abdullah Gul, and Rajab Tayyab Urdagan. These are some examples which belong to middle class and some belongs to lower middle class families as well. All around the world middle class and lower middle class students have given a special attention because they know that they are the real ones who got talent who have a courage to do something for the nation for country. But here the story is different, Our traditional politicians and educationist have taken the right from middle class and lower middle class student to study”.

We were having a good debate and suddenly I received a call from family that MQM’s MPA Sajid Qureshi is died where are you??? Come home everything is going to be close in a while transport, shops everything is going to be close in a while. I just passed this news to my friend with the comment that it’s the beauty of Karachi he just smiled and said another topic for another debate come I will drop you at the stop and I said “ok”.

While waiting for the bus at the stop I was thinking about the discussion we had in the restaurant. I come to the point that whatever he said is true and a harsh reality which is not easy to digest for someone like me and that moment many statistics were coming in my mind about education that about 68% of our children didn’t study after intermediate because of high fee structure about 35% of our childrens never go to school about 70% of our population which is living in the urban areas of Pakistan cannot get education after matric because there is no college and university near their village and their parents don’t have enough money to send them to the cities like Lahore, Karachi, Faislabad, Islamabad etc.
I don’t know when I got the bus but in the bus I was also thinking that we are the real terrorist of our nation we destroy our generation in fact we will destroy our future generation and my mind stuck on a point that why why Junaid you are supporting these terrorists?? These are not your values; these are not your objectives then why???


Why And what are The reasons to show that Android is better than Iphone?


Why And what are The reasons to show that Android is better than Iphone?

1. The Presence of And Additional Sd Card

Android devices tries their best to get atleast an inbuilt memory of 5Gb and also An additional SD card, though iphone has a better Inbuilt memory 64GB.

ok lets do this little arithmetic, I have four Sd cards of about 32GB each, all sum up to be about 128GB fairly the hard disk size of some laptops. i now loaded one of the card with Movies, The other one with Musics, The 3rd one with Records and the last One with Applications,

so, if i should wish to give someone some musics, i would probably give him one of my SD cards,Unlike the iphone that does not uses the sd card, they would'nt to let you take their phone along with them.

2. Android has a better Notification

Yeah, this is what i really appreciate from the android, a better notification, though the iphone 5 has this, but it can never be compared to that of android, because it does not have the feature of multitasking which am going to talk about in the next few post, and also it does one notifiacation at a time and also it does not pop out notification just like the android

Imagine when you turn on the display of your Android, you get an immediate-glance of the notifications which lets you know if you got a missed call, new message, new email or if someone is talking about you on social media. On iOS, you don't have an immediate-glance, you have to unlock the iPhone and swipe down from the top of the screen every time you want to see the notification





3. Android has better multi tasking



Multi tasking on Android is a real good feature that allows you to Run native apps, download app at thesame time without them coming on your screen.

4. Android Provides a BACK BUTTON 

Right from onset, the android has a back button, even the G1 (first Android), but the iphone does not have a "back button" which is an annoying feature, imagine when you run on a new app, you must now look for where the back button of the app is located right on the app for you to go back gosh..

Another example is when you are reading an email from an Email app and you clicked on a link in the email, it opens up safari, to go back to the Email app, you will need to first go to the homescreen by pressing the home button and launching the Email app again, although Apple said it's fixed in iOS 4, but its doesn't look original.


5. Android lets you Replace your battery, but iphone dont.

As people would say that the battery is the head of the phone and when its off the phone is useless, now that iphone doesnt appreciate the fact that your battery should be changed, what if you now had a bad one does that means that all your file are gone? yeah i guess so cos the battery is already inbuilt and no means wat so ever to get a changed one.
 
6. Android Has A Wide Range Of Devices To Choose From 


You can easily make choices from a very wide variety of Android phones with better specs

7. You can easily Set Apps to default On android

Setting apps to launch by default from certain actions is a piece of cake on Android, an example is setting your default web browser to Opera or Dolphin browser when a browser action is initiated. But on iphones, you will need to launch the app manually because the default web browser safari cannot be changed from default even when the iPhone is jailbroken 

8. Installations of custom Roms


Android has a community dedicated to the development of custom roms, not only does custom roms brings the same functionality as jailbreaking does, but adds an advanced level of customization to the device. Some custom ROMs build up additional features for your phone while others strip down bulky feature and optimize for speed. 

9. Iphone syncing is difficult and horrible

i would really explain better in my next post on "8 reasons why you must not buy an iphone" .

syncing in iphone is the only way to copy the few supported files, on android this can be effectively done by simply mounting and drag whatever files you want to copy into your phone's SD Card  

10. Google and Social Integration Is Better On Android


These days the web has replaced most of our daily activities such as Facebook and Twitter for our social lives, Google docs for our documents, Flickr for our photos, Email for our messages. On android these features has been integrated natively, photos taken with your android phone can automatically be uploaded to your Flickr or Google plus account, automatic delivery of Emails as soon as they arrive, instant notifications of happenings on Facebook and Twitter that concerns you, your phone can also sync your Facebook friends to your phone contact with their profile pics, phone number and email addresses.


iPhone can also do these with the help of third party apps but the experience is nothing near that of Android. On Android nothing is out of reach! 

11. The difference between Apple store And Google Play Store

I completely agree that the Apple app store has over 600,000 apps while the Google play store recently hit 600,000 apps catching up with the Apple app store pretty fast. In the Google play store, you get way more free apps for your Android device than you get for your iPhone in the Apple App store. Even, every edition of the Angry bird game is sold for $0.99 each in the apple app store, something you get for free in the Google play store.

12. Android is Popular

This is one fact i wouldnt want us to forget in a hurry, do you know that the android is popular than the iphone? i know my apple dudes would have answered it a "yes" so thats it.

13. Do Virtually everything faster with android widgets.








On Android you have a homescreen where you can put widgets, most of these widgets help you to get things done faster on your Android. An example is the power widgets that allows you to quickly toggle on / off your Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, Automatic brightness, Mobile data, Airplane mode, etc. you could easily tap on the icon to switch it on or off instead of going into your phone's settings. On iPhone, you dont have a homescreen to place widgets, it doesn't have widgets though, the iPhone's default screen is the application drawer

Reality of Mobile WithHolding Tax


Now a days many peoples are talking that after increase in mobile withholding tax we get only 65 rupees on 100 rupees card recharge.
Here are some realities of mobile with holding tax.Before increase in With Holding Tax

Deduction on mobile phone card load=11.5 % Withholding Tax + 5% service charges of mobile operator company
On 100 rupees card load we were getting 83.5 rupees after deduction of 16.5 rupees.
For your info 19.5% FED was also already deducted on doing every call and sms before this Govt's Budget.
On consumption of remaining 83.5 rupees you all were already paying 16.28 rupees against FED.
So total tax paid on 100 rupees card load was 32.78 rupees before this Govt's Budget.
This is the story before With Holding tax increase.
After 5% increase in With Holding Tax
Deduction on mobile phone card load=16.5 % With Holding Tax + 5% service charges of mobile operator company
On 100 rupees card load we will get 78.5 rupees after deduction of 21.5 rupees.
For your info 19.5% FED was also already deducted on doing every call and sms before this Govt's Budget.
On consumption of remaining 78.5 rupees you all are already paying 15.31 rupees against FED.
So total tax on 100 rupees card load now will be 36.81 rupees.
This is the story after With Holding tax increase.
Net increase in Tax on 100 rupees card = After this Govt's Budget (36.81) - Before this Govt's Budget (32.78)
Net increase in Tax on 100 rupees card load= 4.03 rupees.
For info of all this 4 rupees increased With Holding tax along with 11.5 % previous With Holding Tax can be return on submission of Tax return to FBR.
PMLN is encouraging all to get NTN numbers and register their self as Tax-payers.
Only we have to keep mobile phone cards which we have loaded but first and foremost a person needs to get NTN number.
Bad new for those who don't have NTNs. Sorry they cant get these taxes back.
No one in Pakistan is willing to be in the tax net.
People get afraid by listening name of FBR.
Our With Holding Taxes are adjustable.
By Registering and getting NTN We can get back Our With Holding taxes.

Budget 2013-2014


I still remember an Economics professor’s words,
“The political cost of economic decisions is the worst nightmare for the policy-making circles particularly political parties and this is what plays the most significant role in budgetary allocations.”
The federal budget 2013-14 has proved this statement correct. With the new political administration at the helm of affairs, the situation is surely somehow different than the past five years, though not an ideal one.
A short glimpse of the budget document clearly shows that the budget is more business friendly than people friendly.
We find that the government has focused on fiscal discipline, development, power generation, political economic initiatives and has assisted in creating a business friendly environment.
There are many things in the budget, which made me happy, particularly the few austerity measures that were announced by the prime minister in his maiden speech.
For the first time in the country’s history, a prime minister has abolished his discretionary fund, which was worth more than Rs42 billion. Similarly, secret funds of 12 ministries (used mostly for political lobbying) have also been abolished.

Finance Minister Ishaq Dar announced a 45% cut in the expenses of the prime minister’s office and a 44% cut in the budget of the Prime Minister House. According to him, Pakistan needs a strong fiscal discipline, where every department has to perform efficiently and within the available means.
The PML-N government announced it will not keep more than 40 ministries in order to curb expenses alongside announcing a 30% reduction in non-developmental expenses of each ministry.
According to Dar, if we were to comply with the economic vision of the PML-N, the development funds will be increased by 50% to Rs540 billion.
Announcement of Karachi circular railway, continuation of the Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline, Nandipur power project, and Ashiana housing scheme for the entire country are a few glimpses of how the development budget will be spent.
Furthermore, the government announced an increase in the percentage of income tax for people earning more than seven million annually.
Amid protests over power outage, the government has rightly allocated Rs225 billion for various power projects. Rs59 billion are allocated to invest in the water sector projects that include Katchi Canal Katchi Canal (Dera Bugti and Nasirabad), Rainee Canal (Ghotki and Sukkur), Kurram Tangi Dam (North Waziristan), Gomal Zam Dam (South Waziristan), Ghabir  Dam (Chakwal), and Mangla Dam raising.
Moreover, the announcement to eliminate circular debt in 60 days is good news for the industry and people, and will surely result in some relief for the common man.
Looking at the initiatives, that are mostly criticised for their political motives we find various successful programs pursued by Shahbaz Sharif’s Punjab government spread all over the country. The Free Laptop scheme, the national internship program, cheap loans for young entrepreneurs and the Qarz-e-Hasana program are a few particularly youth welfare projects.
The continuation of the Benazir Income Support Program has been a good development, though the government changed its name. I wish they could retain the original name alongside developing a transparent mechanism to ensure fair distribution of the money to people who deserve it.
In short, the budget has its pros and cons
, we can debate everything; however, I believe that every Pakistani will have to support the government for its difficult but correct economic decisions.
This is a golden opportunity for the PML-N leadership to make their ‘Asian Tiger’ slogan a reality.
Political maturity and economic wisdom has to be compatible in order for it to work. This can also be done by promoting education and not hiding anything from the public.




World Music Day celebrations 2013 By CityFm89




                            WORLD MUSIC DAY CELEBRATIONS 2013 BY CITY FM89

World music is a musical category encompassing many different styles of music from around the world, including traditional music and music where more than one cultural tradition intermingle. World music's inclusive nature and elasticity as a musical category pose obstacles to a universe.

The event is also known as Fรชte de la Musique (or World Music Day) and originated in France in 1982. Since then the idea has spread across the globe with each event holding to the same set of principles: that the day is held on the mid-summer solstice and that all concerts and events are free to the public with a non-profit making objective. Music day is celebrated every year on 21st of June.

World Music Day is celebrated every year and this time it was celebrated by the Team of CityFm89 in Islamabad Club, Islamabad, Pakistan on 22nd of June,2013. As we saw crowd nearly 300 which came out of their homes in severely hot weather, but Yes! they came to enjoy the World Music Day. Families and Youth came to enjoy the event. CityFm89 team managed the event very well. Cityfm89 has been celebrating world music day every year since 2007.

The Underground and some famous Singers and Bands of Islamabad performed in the event. The names of the singers and bands are as follow:

So in the end the event went well and people enjoyed it. And we hope to see further more events like this in Islamabad.
