Dingle Days
Sweet Round
Krispy Kreme will be opening its first store in Qatar on February 1st 2008. The opening is being highly publicized with a very
special promotion,the first 25 customers will get a dozen doughnuts free every week for a full year.Can you imagine that?
Sure it is a great promotion idea.
Health wise,according to me ,with stagnant lifestyles in place, the ministry of health should not allow such promotions to come about into the scene as they can have high weight related consequences.
What do you think?

thePhone
After days of wandering off in different directions I’ve finally managed to make a post. PHEW!
iPhone wasn’t launched in Qatar by Apple( it was my first choice for a new phone).
I wanted a change from Nokia.
Leaving me with three brands LG-SAMSUNG-SE .
After giving considerable thought to all the phones which were available in the market I decided to go for this one.
Terminology Corrupted
I despise the term paki to use as a replacment for Pakistani because it is just simply wrong.
We can always use the right short form for Pakistani which is Pak i.e Pak Fauj for the Pakistani Army etc.
Pak ,sounds refined and well defined, I’ve seen a number of Pakistanis using the wrong terminology and as a result even foreigners are using the wrong word for saying Pakistani
Make a difference.
Kyon Pareshan hai TU
During my trip to Pakistan, I bought my first ever Junoon CD, Azadi.
After all the Pakistani music which I hear everyday I got a feeling of how plain the
instrumentation for most Junoons songs were.
And similarly my ears grabbed the simple written captioned song
Good work Junoon.
Life Update
Ever since Aag Tv and The Muzik started to come up on my tv screen I’ve been spending lesser time using the Internet, since most of the time on the Internet was spent reading about news in the Pakistani Music scene. Although, the news aspect of Pakistani Music is unbeaten, viewing music videos online has been replaced by watching videos on TV.
<!–[endif]–>Spending lesser time on the Internet has also affected my blogging routine, i.e not going to the blogs which I used to visit everyday. But also my readership has taken a big turn downwards; it’s been hardly the same ever since mid 2007.

My weight, I finally have plans to control it and reduce it by taking up cycling, hoping to buy one by next week. The evening traffic in Qatar does not allow safe cycling on the roads so my cycling would be limited to early weekend mornings.
After avoiding camera phones for a very long time, I got a new camera phone.My excuse for not buying a camera phone was that I couldn’t destroy pictures which would have turned out lovely with my Canon which to this date is still true and what is also true is that I have wasted money for paying for a feature which I will not use much.
