“Masses to get basic life facilities: Gilani” was the bold headline in the daily “Pakistan Observer 24 November 2010”.

Bring Back my Memories by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

In my school days (1941) I was given an Anna a day. That was sort of rich for the standards then! And I had always a Paisa (Quarter Anna) or so to return with after eating a Band Samosa and a qulfi or cup full of Jelly. Later in 1947 I used to get Rs. 20/= per month as pocket money. Out of it paid Rs.9 Annas 12 as college fee (no riff raff college either - Edwardes College Peshawar - one of best Click here to read Full Article

Corruption - Vertical Alignment by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)

In context with the Interior Minister’s resolve to eradicate corruption within seven days, a news item appeared a few days ago that the head of the department concerned would also be held equally responsible for the corruption indulged by any of his subordinates. Though it may sound somewhat unreasonable yet, that’s the way to deal Click here to read Full Article

Whose Army ? by Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Posted By: Riaz On: 8/Nov/2010 Views:2075 Replies:0

The batmen then were there to only look after the uniform of the officer and not do the household chores like the later years. While dealing with the tailors and dhobis he often used to remind them haughtily that he was not a sepoy of Click here to read Full Article

Some of the clippings on TV showed lawyers dancing rather immaturely bhangra style on Asma’s winning the Bar’s election. Somehow the spectacle presented a sight least behoving an educated class who when pitched against the ordinary assert to be from the profession of great leaders like Quiad.

Not many in Pakistan knew that 33 miners were trapped for more than two months deep beneath a Chilean gold and copper mine and were rescued on Wednesday 13 October 2010. A marvel of engineering and precision, first in drilling down a 2,041-foot shaft through the rock to reach the miners and then raise them up one by one in a rescue capsule called Phoenix.

The need for Islam to keep pace with time, as ordained in the holy Qura’n, was never felt more than in the 21st century by when immense conceptual changes have taken place in the realm of geo-spatial metaphor and technology. Click here to read Full Article
