Many scholars rejected this idea and declared the Fridays Eids to be the pious ones.

We were one federation with 2 units East Pakistan and West Pakistan. But we lost the Eastern Wing due to the brutal genocide by Pakistan Army and the intervention of India. Today, even after around 38 years, our bonding ideology i.e. Islam ties the hearts of Bangladeshis and Pakistanis. Therefor a Bangladeshi friend of mine sent me this greeting card saying &#8216;This is for entire Pakistan and is from your former countrymen&#8217; I thanked him and welcomed his ideas of strengthening the relations between the two countries. So I request my readers to thank Omer Osman of Bangladesh who has sent this greeting for all of us.</p><p><a

The sole purpose to start this blog was to earn some extra income and to financially support my primary startup which at that time was a social networking website. Though the purpose wasn&#8217;t fulfilled and I had to change the purpose so the new purpose was to speak up as the voice of youth for the betterment of Pakistan.</p><p>Throughout the year, I&#8217;ve learned many things, I achieved many things, in short I got myself be heard and my opinion matters now. My opinions and peice of writeups were featured in many mainstream media including  DAWN NEWS, Guardian UK, New York Times, TripleJ of ABC Radio Australia, BBC, CNN, and more. I&#8217;ll be posting all the media mentions in the sidebar in a couple of days.</p><p>I find my self lucky to have found many supportive felow bloggers who guided me on almost every stage. I also feel lucky to be a part of many revolutionary campaigns like LongMarch, PakCricket, and condemning US drone Attacks etc.</p><p>Criticism, Appreciation, Suggestions really helped me to improve my writing style and I&#8217;d say the overall year for me as a blogger was quite successful. And I am happy with it =) So would you people like to wish my blog a happy birthday? =)</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://guppu.com/2009/08/17/happy-birthday-guppucom-1-year-of-blogging/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>1</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Happy Independence Day Pakistan !</title><link>http://guppu.com/2009/08/14/happy-independence-day-pakistan/</link> <comments>http://guppu.com/2009/08/14/happy-independence-day-pakistan/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2009 20:37:06 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>GUPPU POST</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Celebrations]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Videos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[happy independence day]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pakistan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[pakistan zindabad]]></category> <guid

This record was set by India. And to our surprise, Pakistan broke this record just in 6 hours of the start of the day. The planters are just moving ahead to set a new world record of about 900,000 plants a day, as the day hasn&#8217;t ended yet. About 300 planters are planting lacs of propagules of mangroves on a barren island near Keti Bandar, Thatta.</p><p>The Secretary of Sindh’s Forest and Wildlife department, Mushtaq Memon, said that this plantation is done exactly according to the rules and regulations of Guinness World Records, so it will immediately get us the world record.</p><p><strong>So Congratulations and Well Done Pakistan !! Way to GO !!!</strong></p><p>So you see the Pakistani potential in every walk of life? It is just that it&#8217;s ruined by the corruptest and traitors politicians of all times.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://guppu.com/2009/07/15/pakistan-breaks-world-record-of-one-day-plantation-setting-new-record-now/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Mother &#8211; A lovely Nasheed by Sami Yusuf</title><link>http://guppu.com/2009/05/10/mother-a-lovely-nasheed-by-sami-yusuf/</link> <comments>http://guppu.com/2009/05/10/mother-a-lovely-nasheed-by-sami-yusuf/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2009 22:34:15 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>GUPPU POST</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Celebrations]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Events]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Videos]]></category> <category><![CDATA[happy mothers day]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mother]]></category> <category><![CDATA[mothers day]]></category> <category><![CDATA[sami yusuf]]></category> <guid

class="alignleft" title="Basant Celebration" src="http://pakistantimes.net/2005/02/06/ins-basant.jpg" alt="" width="260" height="172" />There are quite a few reasons for which I didn&#8217;t celebrate Basant festival this time, The main reason was the crises in our country didn&#8217;t allow me to go and celebrate festivals when my own brothers are on road, struggling for a noble cause i.e. Freedom of Judiciary, I will live my life with this guilt that I couldn&#8217;t go for the Long March due to the house arrest put by my parents. And instead of going on rooftops or at friends&#8217; house to fly kites and dance, I preferred to stick to my laptop to keep an eye on the rapid changing scenario and to report and cover each information I get from various sources. I have been covering Long March along with fellow bloggers through Twitter, see n report, and live coverage widget.</p><p>This festival mean a lot to me, I, along with my friends and family, have been very enthusiasticly celebrating this event since my childhood. Buying kites and strings, music systems, Barbeque, lighting on Basant night, decorating rooftops, were the things which I used to do energeticly.</p><p>This time, my cousins and friends kept on asking to go with them and to celebrate the Spring! But how could I go? half of my nation was on the street to fight for Judiciary and in the events of rising crises, how could I dance, fly kites and celebrate a festival? So I didn&#8217;t go and thought it&#8217;s better to do my job of live coverage of the events that were taking place.</p><p>By posting this writeup, I didn&#8217;t mean to glorify myself, I only did what was my responsibility. And this post is intended to give some coverage to the Basant (The Spring season festival). Till yesterday evening, I was kinda sad that Basant is over and I didn&#8217;t participate but the real over-joy for me started when it was announced on TV that Judiciary is going to be restored! honestly.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://guppu.com/2009/03/17/i-didnt-celebrate-basant-this-time/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>3</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
