Today i have done some research on solar energy in Pakistan and gathered some information and news regarding the solar energy programmes in Pakistan.The Rural Electrification Programme of solar energy has provided solar energy to around 3000 homes in 49 villages of Sindh in the past. Soon Energy Development Board is going to launch another electrification programme for 300 villages in Balochistan.
According to many experts, Pakistan has major potential to generate alternate energy through wind, solar, solid waste and small hydro resources but regrettably no particular consideration has been given in this regard.Pakistan is the 6th most prosperous country in the world where sun-availability is up to 16 hours on average.
There is lot of scope for solar plants in Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab but unfortunately two projects for solar power generation, one each in Punjab and Sindh given to the private sector have not taken off. Government should also work on this solar development issue, as we all know that the next war in subcontinent is considered to be far for water. Although such thing will never happen Inshallah but at least we should think and prepare ourselves mentally for anything like that.

PACPAD 1
Few days ago i read a news that Pakistan Air force (PAF) has made a self-version of ipad which they made inside a high-security air force complex that builds jet fighters and weapons systems.It is really a great move of PAF and I appreciate that. The PAC which is producing this product has also been working on E-book and Note-book. The PAC in the name stands for the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex.
The tablet and other devices are made in a low-slung facility, daubed in camouflage paint, near, a factory that produces J-17 Thunder fighter jets with Chinese help. The PACPAD is build with a company called Innavtek in a Hong Kong-registered partnership that also builds high-tech parts for the warplanes.During a brief test, The tablet with its 7-inch screen appeared to run well and the screen responsiveness was sharp.
According to sources, a second-generation PACPAD 2 would be launched in the next three months which will be able to connect to the internet via cell phone networks and other improved features.The PAF facility can produce up to 1,000 devices a day.
I think its really a big achievement of PAF, as it not only boost the economy but will also help in regaining the repute of Pakistan for being a developing state. The expected prices of these home made devices are as follow
PacPad... 15,500rs

Cell phone NOKIA C1-01
Recently i bought Nokia c101 after selling a Black berry, Motoral L6 and a chinese set named RIO. Before buying Nokia a friend of mine, from whom i bought it, suggested me that i should try Q-mobiles which are more cheaper in price and have good battery timings. I took Q-Mobile e-400i model and used it for a day. In one day i realized that the set is very economical and is also dual sim with good battery timing and price. Then i went out of my home and do a little research on it as i was amazed and happy too. I went to a mobile shop near my house and asked the mobile dealer about its qualities. The first thing he said to me that
" I don't deal or sale q-mobiles anymore because you can't write the Prophet Mohammad (SAW) name in it. Most of my customers were unhappy so i stopped selling it and send all my stock back to the company"
When i listen that, i was shocked and then thought is that the only reason??? if it is... then why i am using it?? I thought (HUH! you must be lying mate) you and all others are here for business not for promoting truth. Then i came back home and start to think on that dealer's talk.
After few minutes i thought i should try and write Prophet's (SAW) name by myself. When i write then the truth revealed. And my first reaction was like WHAT? SILLY ME!!
And yes the dealer was right, the Prophet's Mohammad (SAW) did not appear on it rather than his (SAW) name a small square box appeared on it. Then i decided that its the time to change the q-mobile set and buy the Nokia. I went back to my friend's shop and told him the story and he said its okay the q-mobile company has realized that problem and asked their distributors, dealers and customers to send those mobiles back to the company for software up-gradation.
But he offered me to buy nokia again which i accepted and was feeling happy to get what i desired (after all that). So i bought nokia c1-01 at a price of 3900 rs. For its specifications i am attaching 2 links which will be very helpful for you (i hope)

RUN RUN...
On 21st of February i had an exam so i wake up early in morning to catch my bus on time. After all my preparations i went out of my house to catch my bus.
I was very satisfied as i knew that today i will catch my bus on time and i don't have to run as i mostly did in past.. So i went out of my home with a 110% satisfaction and confidence.
4-5 university buses passed by me on my way to bus stop with lots of students packed in them watching outside the buses. Few of them reading their notes, lectures and books for exams others just relaxed. I ignored all those bus drivers, which mostly stops at an instant where a student asked them to stop and pick him, because i knew that today i will reach on my bus stop in time and i don't need their favor to stop those heavy machines(buses) for me.
When i was 10-15 steps away from my stop i saw my bus standing for me and probably waiting for me, i just realized that i have forgotten my roll no. slip without which i can't sit in my exam...
SO
i turned back and ran like an escaped prisoner to grab my roll no. slip so i can sit in my exam. As i started running madly people around me started to look me probably thinking that why this idiot is running...but who knows the reason??? i came back home running and took my roll no. slip and when i came out of my home another bus was coming. I thanked my God and wave my hand to bus driver who stopped the bus and picked me up.
Finally i reached university on time and also gave my exam :D
By the way my exam gone very well (Alhamdullilah)!!

Mind your own business
"Never interfere or comment about a saint(darwaish or fakeer) because they have their own way of praying to Allah( God) don't look at their colourful or simple clothes they know better how to live and perform their duties...." said by someone who is very dear to me.
After listening that i thought he was right he further said
" never believe on someone if he/she says that your tomorrow is bright or you have good future only pray to Allah because HE do what is best for you and everything happens according to HIM. Always have faith in HIM and keep praying..."

unforgettable texts
A month ago i was very ill and have pain in my whole body+ cough + flu so i thought i should text my lecturer to mark my attendance and i will meet her later that day to confirm that i was really ill. So i sent her a message that ma'm
" i have got severe body pain along with flu and cough so i will be late today kindly mark my attendance Thanks! "
As i was hopeful that she would trust this big man and mark the attendance without any queries but she replied
" i have got the same but i am coming to university "
On that i was not shocked because its her job and she wants each and every penny of her wage to be 100% halal (legal). I took a long breath and after few seconds i replied her that
" ma'm your highly motivated person and blessed with supernatural powers. i am not blessed with such powers yet so kindly mark my attendance"
after that when i saw my student account on university website it showed that i was marked absent for that class. It was unexpected but i bear it ( :D ) .
