    I love to travel its always been my Interest to travel to different places.It really helps us to find about new tradition,new culture,The way people live,different languages,foods etc.I traveled within the country […]

    • You say right Pakistan is a beautiful place and its people welcome all visitors belonging to any country because Muslims are peaceful and loving people just like its attractive places hail the foreign tourists.

    • Thank you brother for your nice lovely reply.Well i said that in my article because most of the people has wrong image of Pakistan because they believe what they see on television and in th newspaper. But the reality is totally different.we are peaceful Nation we love other countries people and their culture.Because Islam teaches us to spread the message of peace.I admit that their are bad people but those people not only exist in Pakistan,good and bad people are everywhere.I suggest very person who has wrong and negative thoughts about Pakistan please visit Pakistan once you return from there with the full of love.

    • I was having a very wrong opinion on Pakistan. I am having a number of Penpals from Ukraine , Russia and some from the Bahamas.When there was some exchange of opinions and views people were asking me whether I got any Muslim friends. I said yes. Most of my childhood friends are Muslims. Some of them have worked even in Indian Air Force. Another friend is working as Head Dept of Philosophy. There are all good and very decent in their opinions and mannerisms. We were discussing so many issues starting one politics to scrap over a cup of tea in a restaurant named ‘BILAL’ in Kadapa. I remember everything pretty well.

      My Penpals for the best reasons known to them are quite afraid of Pakistan and the Muslims in particular. They were asking me so many things. I was answering them with patience. When the WTC attack took place they even stopped their emails. After a gap of 15 days, they continued asking about the Muslims in India.

      I told them that the Muslims in India are very nice and they are very broad minded. It is wrong to generalize all Muslims as Terrorists or Quarrelsome.

      What they complain is that they are not peace loving people and pick up quarrel wherever they go and that they do not give importance to cleanliness and work in very unclean areas. I told them it is not their fault. It is the poverty that made them so.

      What I personally feel is that there are many Muslims who eat three times a day and do prayer 5 times. They are rich and having good business even abroad. But the pity is that they do not contribute anything for the education of the poor Muslims. They do not take up any social welfare activities. It is only during elections and on RAMADAN they spend some money. They collect some funds even from abroad and do not spend them but eat away.

      I really wonder how the poor Muslims have been deprived of their funds which Arab countries are donating liberally.

      Pakistan is really a very nice country

      y.
      The people are good and some of them are highly educated. It has got experts in different fields like Literature, Sports, Science , and Arts. The country is rich in flora and fauna. There are many site seeing places like Pir Sohawas, Islamabad Zoo,Nilam Bhotu, National Herbarium Islamabad, and Murree Hills.

      There are many spots for Rock Climbing in Margalla Hills.

      What we here is a different story than what we see in Pakistan.

    • Would love to be able to travel, however the two places you mention, thanks to the news reports we hear in the USA, are only places I want to see from a distance. Surely it can’t be “hell” going on there all the time as people do live there and there is no mass migration of folks from Kashmir or Pakistan being reported. But our news reports make me think it’s safer for me to stay at home and visit by those countries by way of virtual travels. I don’t want go anywhere in the Middle East either. My son went to Jordan and didn’t tell us until he came back because he knew we’d object!

    • I still remember my tour to ”Kaghan valley”. We, a group of some friends, enjoyed a lot during that very tour.

      ”Swat valley” is also a great place in this connection. I wish, I could visit these places on monthly basis but it is not possible for me due to some reasons. Anyhow, I plan to reach the beauty of these great cities once a year.

      One must spare sometime to visit the beauty of nature present around us .It will surely improve our health and mood.

    • Undoubtedly Pakistan is the most beautiful country of the world. It has four seasons, beautiful plains, breathtaking rivers, lush green valleys, sky high ice packed mountains and glaciers, beaches, deserts and attractive lakes and waterfalls. In other words you can say Pakistan is a tourist heaven.

      Pakistan also has many historical and cultural places that are so much attractive for visitors and annually millions of people come to Pakistan to visit these historical and cultural places of Pakistan.
      Yes, in Pakistan many places are most beautiful and popular among the tourists of the whole world as Hunza Valle, Swat valley, Naran Valle, Khaghan valle, Kalash valley….

      Paye is a green plateau (meadows on the top of mountain) is situated on top of Shogran in the Kaghan Valley, District Mansehra. Journey starts when you take right from Kevai (Between Mansehra City and Narar) and go up until you reach Shogran. From Shogran, you can start hiking or you can hire jeeps or horses to reach Paye. Siri comes on the way but the ultimate resorts is Paye from where Makra Peak is clearly visible. A few shops and restaurants are available on Siri and Paye which are quite comfortable for the visitors.

      Pakistan is full of breathtaking locations which will make you fall in love with this country all over again. If you are a tourist or love travelling then you must compile a list of places you plan to visit next year.

      Naltar is famous for its colourful lakes, it is situated at a drive of 2.5 hours from Gilgit. World’s tastiest potatoes are cultivated here. Covered with pine trees, this valley doesn’t seem to be a part of this world.

      If you really want to experience paradise in this world, you should visit Naltar at least once. This place will make you fall in love with it.

    I have also noticed that there are so many groups that have been created but the person who creates them doesny even start a thread. I agree qith you @jhsayyar. We have groups that the members can bring in topics that are of relevance to everyone especially those who ago still in school. At least stuff that will help them in their futures.

    About a year ago, read an article published by a site called Health Mad, that listed four foods which can cure depression. Interesting read. But … Having suffered from depression it’s not advice that I would […]

    • Yes, there are many medicines that give relief from depression as you have said actually depression is nothing but prethinking will and wishes produce depression human soul not in mind because first depression spreads in soul after this its demonstration becomes on human mind.

      Researchers have learned much about the biology of depression. They’ve identified genes that make individuals more vulnerable to low moods and influence how an individual responds to drug therapy. One day, these discoveries should lead to better, more individualized treatment but that is likely to be years away.

      And while researchers know more now than ever before about how the brain regulates mood, their understanding of the biology of depression is far from complete.

      Nerve cell connections, nerve cell growth, and the functioning of nerve circuits have a major impact on depression. Still, their understanding of the neurological underpinnings of mood is incomplete.

      If depression were primarily the result of low levels of neurotransmitters, people don’t feel better as soon as levels of neurotransmitters increase.

    Shahid khan Afridi nick name BHOOM BHOOM.known as agressive batsman in Pakistan cricket team.He scored a fastest century when the format of cricket was very slow. Afridi started his career in 1996 against […]

    • Shahid Afridhi is one of the best batsman all over the world I personally like his bowling and batting in all matches. Shahid Afridi, Pakistan’s allrounder, is as enigmatic a player as there ever was. He came as a 16-year-old into the Pakistan ODI squad and was unfazed by all the speculation regarding his real age. In only in his second ODI against Sri Lanka in 1996, he blasted his way to a 37-ball century. For more than 17 years,

      it remained the fastest century in the ODI format before Corey Anderson broke the record in January 2014. Afridi’s sparkling ton came after he was sent in as a pinch-hitter at one drop and after being picked in the team as a leg-spinner to replace the injured Mushtaq Ahmed!

      For the next few years, Afridi’s batting took prominence after hitting that ton. He soon became a crowd-puller for just his eccentric batting. As entertaining as it was to the viewers, it sometimes proved to be infuriating to his teammates. His then captain, Wasim Akram, had repeatedly asked him not to throw his wicket away, but nothing could change Afridi’s ways.

      This reckless streak extended to the highest format, the Test matches, and he was quickly sorted out by his opponents. After having some limited success in the longest format, Afridi quickly realised that he lacked the temperament for the same and announced his retirement from Tests in 2006, after having played just 26 games.

      During the first ODI against West Indies in July 2013, Afridi produced an exceptional all-round performance. He scored an aggressive 76 to help Pakistan reach a respectable total of 224 and annihilated West Indies with a remarkable bowling spell of 7-12. In late 2013, Afridi had a decent run with the ball against both South Africa and Sri Lanka.

      After Hafeez resigned from T20 captaincy, the Pakistani selectors went back to Afridi to lead them again. He also led the team when Misbah ul Haq decided to take a break in the third ODI against Australia. Afridi, always known for his irresponsible shots, curbed those instincts against New Zealand.

      The allrounder batted sensibly in almost every game, he made two fifties to show for it. Afridi, with his all-round skills, is expected to be a force to reckon with in the upcoming 2015 World Cup
