I hate to break to all the women out there, but men are not stupid, boorish, or simply clueless (well, at least 90 per cent of the time). These are regrettable (yet mutually advantageous) myths. I will confirm that women are highly complex creatures blessed with tremendous faculties that allow for a great deal of lateral, profound, and esoteric thinking, most of which men are highly unlikely to ever understand, let alone appreciate. But the fact is, men aren’t as limited as women like to believe.
It is in Pakistani men’s interest to perpetuate certain myths about the male psyche and persona, for it is highly convenient. The lower expectations are, the easier it is for guys to meet them (all in the interests of continuing the species). Still, the time has come to clarify a few things.

I have found this article about newly released Indian Movie “My Name is Khan” while surfing net and being a big fan of Shahrukh Khan I would like to share this with you guys:

Just when 3 Idiots was supposed to be the biggest hit ever, Shahrukh Khan’s My Name is Khan has broken world records for a Bollywood film. It has bettered all previous international box office records to record the highest-ever single opening day collections for a Hindi film.

One of the things I hated from the time sinceI started attending these shaadi waadi functions is that in these functions Our most important resource that is time is very much wasted.
I remember in these functions whether it’s Vailma, Shaddi, Mehndi or any other event relating to Shaadi one thing for which people always wait is fooood…. Yes!! I am also in the same league. Besides wishing dulha, dulhan the real main purpose of going to shaadi functions has always been you get to meet your relatives you haven’t seen for a long time. But above all you get to taste good food, the charghey, the bar b.q., biryani. Paratha Kabab, qaurmay and haalway..

About: Jack of all, in her own words….. Bumble Bee who would like to keep her real name behind the curtains for now, says this about herself. After graduation, I joined art school and have done my diploma in commercial arts. Started my professional life as an art teacher and accidentally ended up doing radio shows as an anchor. Eventually ended up working with one of the major TV channels in Pakistan. After working for television as producer /director for last 8 years ending my ties in 2008, I’m sure one can relate to the difficulty involved in ending professional ties with what had almost become a lifestyle. During my time at two of the major channels, I gained a reputation of being an insomniac, in reality I gave my heart and soul to the job, specially being a producer for some of the major productions, working more irregular rather than regular hours. The concept of day and night remained alien to me even when I started doing my own productions. This year as a freelance producer I have produced three projects, ran on different TV channels included sitcom, telefilm and serial.
Little creative if I am, it is because my passion for music & poetry which has been not only part of life but life itself,. It is my perfect idea to get inspired. Writing for ‘Doodhpatti Blogs’ is like exploring new side of me, a reason for me to be rational and emotional at the same time. Like many I can relate with this title “DoodhPatti” as it is a taste of Pakistan, rich and strong. I am looking forward to and would love to share my “recipes” for doodhpatti.See Authors Posts (3)
Being a single person I may not qualify to write about the subject, but then I believe that you don’t have to take poison to know if it’s deadly or not or I don’t have to jump into the fire to know it burns. Point is, do I really have to get married to understand the complications of marriages or do I have to fall in or fall out of love to understand the mechanics?
Marriages for me are the strangest thing that happened to human kind. Two strangers get married for more strange reasons sometimes for the looks, sometimes for the color of skin, sometimes to make ‘Others’ happy as the boy and the girl wants to go with the will of the parents rather with the heart of their own, sometimes in the process of proving love to each other and sometimes for the companionship they never cherish. What so ever the reason, two strangers pronounced husband and wife to start a strange life one can ever imagine.

About: Mehdi Hasnain aka Moon uses pen (or mouse) name medigineers. Medigineers is the name of music band launched by him along with (medical doctor and engineer) friends and hence the name ‘medi-gineers back in 80s while studying in Karachi. These are also the early days that shaped the social media context for him ultimately resulting in what we have today as www.doodhpatti.com.
Along the way medigineers (Mehdi) graduated from NED, worked 18 years as a business professional in strategy formulation, operations planning, team building and quality assurance after doing MBA in Finance and Operations from Scranton-PA and held senior leadership positions in manufacturing, automotive, semi-conductor and consumer electronics industries working in North America and Pakistan. He is currently working as Global Quality Director for APC-Schnieder and is commuting between Boston and Karachi.
“Medigineers keeps me connected with my inner creative, communal and entrepreneurial instincts”, says Mehdi and thus culminates in launching projects such as ARRA International (during his early days in Karachi), Advanced Management Group and now Tohfay.com and Doodhpatti.com. Medigineers is a writer, singer and a poet (in humorous genre, a pupil of the great Late Dilwar Figaar himself) is often reciting mushairay in North America and Asia.

Every single Pakistani and Australian journalist and blogger have written on why in the world would Afridi do such a stupidity.. calling him a plain idiot to asking what the hell if at all he was thinking. It is indeed mind boggling and would remain in memory as such till the day he plays cricket. Here are our top ten real reasons of why Shahid Afridi started biting the ball (read eating) as the match got closer to finish…
10 ) Apples are good for health.
9 ) Was checking to see if the Australians had bitten it.

One of the few child hood memories that remain unmarked is my uncle’s adult Labradore “Jackie”. We were always told to keep a good distance from him though he was very friendly and as a child I never understood why he was treated as some “indistinct”? As I grew-up I came to know the reason, a school of thought believed (in fact still many believes) that the good angels who are responsible to shower us with the blessings like money and food never visit a home with dogs. Only one condition allowable to keep dogs at home and that is if they are kept for the purpose of security. Other reservations sighted against dogs were that they are not clean specially their saliva.

Google has been the leading search engine in Pakistan as well as rest of the world for as long as I can remember. Launched as a small beta start up in 1996 at the domain google.stanford.edu using inexpensive hardware, you wouldn’t think then that it would ever become the success it is today with so few useful Google alternatives available.
In fact, in 1998 when it first went live on the official Google.com domain, the beta was publically labeled by its creators as a “might-work-some-of-the-time-prototype”.
