Politics in Pakistan: MQM

November 27th, 2009 No comments

Recently, with the total failure of the NRO political parties have been going back and forth with the most outrageous comments.

If your not in Pakistan its sometimes very difficult to follow what is exactly happening. Although the media doesn’t do the best job in reporting news, there are websites out there if you search.

One such website is PKPolitics. The site covers all the latest political talk shows in Pakistan and allows users to interact with each other.

If your an MQM supporter than you would be happy to know that they have finally embraced social media and have launched a regular updated Facebook fan page which you can access by clicking here. The Fan Page provides high-resolution interviews of of MQM leaders with the various TV channels and also provides updates.  Since the MQM website is still quite rubbish and PRAC and YAC have clearly failed in making an impact the boys who manage AllAboutMQM have had to launch a facebook fan page. Don’t bother visiting their website, it redirects you to a ning social site which is truly terrible.

2012 is coming closer

November 12th, 2009 No comments

The temperature was….

very low!

The number of people waiting in line…

was a lot!

However I managed to get 3 tickets for the opening night of 2012 in Paris at Champs Elysees and it was worth it.
It took us about 30 minutes to get in and there was a lot of pushing and shoving because the French cinemas don’t reserve seats, they just let you buy a ticket and find your own seat and the Cinema was one of the largest, with about 500 seats.

Now I had seen the trailer for 2012 and I was waiting for this baby to come out and I can assure you I wasn’t disappointed. The movie was very, very entertaining.

I don’t want to spoil it for you hence I will be as vague as possible.

Since 2012 hasn’t happened and there are a number of theories as to why it would happen, the movie took the standard theory of the world ending in total destruction as the basis. The plot line revolved around 2 people, a scientist and a writer.

The Government of several nations hatch a secret plan to save man kind and the rest of the movie involves some really nerve wrecking scenes and hilarious humor.

The movie isn’t much of a talker, apart from the end where they had an Obama styled moment of HOPE but luckily the rest of the movie is jam packed with cities blowing up, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, tidal waves and high-tech satellite imagery.

If you love science fiction and action and comedy you have got to go see this movie. I’ve added the trailer below, do watch it, find out where your closest cinema is and book a freakin’ ticket.  Do not DOWNLOAD this movie, DO NOT watch a shitty version of it and DO NOT think about NOT seeing it.

Politics can be boring, but these TV Shows are awesome!

November 11th, 2009 No comments

After the endless nights of watching GEO News or ARY Digital or CNN or BBC News, i’ve gotten bored with the same old stories re-running and re-running. Its so obvious that world leaders do not learn from past mistakes and keep making them over and over again.

Fear not, because some of the best entertainment are the awesome TV shows coming out of USA.

First up is House!

House

For those of you that don’t know House,  you might as well move to Afghanistan. House is one of the “awesomesttest” show out there. Its all about a highly qualified, obnoxious, self-centered, rude diagnostician who destroys everyone around him in his own caring way. The show has real interesting medical cases which Dr. Gregory House and his team solve every Monday. The show is currently airing its 6th season and if you haven’t seen it, I highly suggest you order a copy or rent it from your nearest video store or download it. (pretend you never read the downloading part)

But for now check out the trailer.

Stargate SG-1

If your into space exploration, alien culture and languages than Stargate SG-1 is the tv-show for you. It spawned off the original movie Stargate, where a archaeologist dig in Egypt finds this huge device that allows wormholes to be opened to other planets in other solar systems and eventually galaxies. Remember Mac Guyver? Well Dean Anderson is in this show and boy is his acting AWESOME.  The show has 10 seasons or space exploration and humans kicking some alien butt. Naturally, I have located a trailer for this TV Show, however before watching the TV Show I highly suggest you watch the movie Stargate

Stargate The Movie

Stargate SG-1

Heroes

Now Heroes has been a controversial show since its launch, millions of people loved it than got bored with it and than claimed it was boring. Hello? Heroes is the most downloaded TV show on the Internet loved by millions across the globe.

The show is based on the theory that some humans have special abilities, who can fly, move objects, heal very fast, erase memories, time-travel, freeze time and the list goes on. Now I personally loved the drama and the abilities and the action and I never got bored with it, perhaps once or twice because there wasn’t enough action but I stuck by it and Heroes is now in season 4. It comes out every Monday so right after House this is the TV Show you should watch. Do note that it isn’t an easy show to follow, it has a complex storyline and instead of each episode being called an episode and each season being called a season its split into chapters which equal episodes and volumes which equal season so again its in volume 4.

Thats all for now, there are other TV shows that I watch on a regular basis and will update this blog with those TV shows in the coming days.

I’m out for now.
