Salam Alaikum friends!
I know most of you already used google earth but may be some of u still unaware of this fascinating service started by google.
Here is the image of UIT building.
The security/privacy of third world countries like us is a very big question. Just imagine if this service is provided to the ordinary user what might "they" have?

A new picture of Sweden.....(For me...)

Well, I guess Allah has listened to my prayers. I hope you guys remember from my last blog that I talked about three things that can happen. Well, yep I found a brother from Afghnistan named Malik who has been living over here for 18 years now( Well, I can't say that he is disco soofi like AayDee but it was fun talking to him). I had a very good time and now-a-days hanging around with him.
Well, the last day I was talking to him and would tell you the central idea of the facts I found out about Sweden.

Well, over here labour is so expensive and the taxes are so much that companies are opening there offices offshore. So, in the result there are lesser jobs even for Swedes. Now, If a person doesn't have a job the government would pay them some amount. Due to shortage of jobs the amount a person who has a job gets is lesser than what another person who doesn't have any job gets from the government. So, you see after experiencing this most of the people don't wanna work and get the amount from the government and have fun.

Most of the people in Sweden are not interested in studies for two reasons:

1) They don't need studies as we do to earn good money. They can always go for some technical work and earn more.
2) Even if they do go for studies they wouldn't be able to find that level of job , so that , they can earn more if they have got the degree. And why is that? Well, again just because major companies have got offshore offices now.

So, what I was thinking about was.......
What will Swedish government will do lets say after 10 to 15 years. Would they still be feeding there people for doing nothing.....

Or the conditions over here will become same as other asian countries......

Missing my place....

It is about half past two and I am inside my room. Nearly dozing off but don't wanna sleep. Wanna have fun. Well, hold your wild horses of thoughts man. I just wanna bike some place where there are many people and I just can observe whats happening around me. I would really like to feel alone among all those people. Hey AayDee I guess you remember while I drag you with me to the Sea view (beach in Karachi, Pakistan).
Yeah, I know it is quite boring but what the hell, I like it that way my friends. But you know whats the problem over here in Sweden which I am facing??????
Guess??????????????????????????????????????????????????

Well, over here I don't have that kind of gathering... Yeah, there are many Pakistanis over here. Nearly about 50 in my session only (leaving aside the seniors) but can't just be open with them. It takes time before you realize that people won't take anything you say literally and would like understand whether I mean what I say or not....Well, this is why i miss my gathering.. Yeah, AayDee my brother I didn't realize that I would be missing you and Saleem bhai... Yeah, I really do....I know it must be real hard for you guys to cope up with me, cuz, I am quite a talking kind of a guy who just want to be talking the whole night with the friends and remember how things used to be in the University days. Salman Jafri's lose belt, Tauseef Bhai's long pause, Raza Jafri's red face, Jazz's lectures on public sector in the Measurements and Instrumentations course, and etc......

Well, I guess only one of three things can happen now in Sweden if I need to survive for one and a half years now.

1) I find one Disco Soofii like me and AayDee. ( which is a very rare situation)
2) I find some girl who just want to talk not the other way around ( You know what I am talking about....)
3) I marry soon (Even if I need to marry in Sweden. Which in its self is impossible, cuz, most Muslim girls over here are under the influence of the westernization)

Hey, before Ammar call me tharkii ( One always thinking about girls) let me explain to you guys that I just want someone with whome I can share with ( Well, I know many married people won't agree with me but hey, don't tell me not to do it just because it didn't worked out with you) and well yeah, the other feature is always additional for both of us. :)
Ain't it fascinating, although I don't know her yet but still missing her....

Yeah yeah, don't say anything I know I am again off the track.... but what shall I say my friends this is the way I am. As you have got along with me through out the university I hope you will get along with me in the future as well.....

Hmm...., it is 3:00 AM now and still I don't feel like sleeping.... But what the hell.. I know the trick to sleep ( Well, I know what you all dumbs thinking. NO, I won't be taking pills. I'll take something more stronger than that) Well, I think I should read my notes. :)
To tell you what... I am already feeling sleepy.....
Hope to have good dreams......
