Back in Islamabad!
Many things have happened since I was last here in this pollen-infested city.. few new roads, same old cops, lots of flowers and plenty of pollen ofcourse. Mr. George Fulton met the PM, apparently he wishes to become a Pakistani.. Imagine!. And since people at Geo think every common pakistani has access to the PM, why should George be left behind. Anyways.. its his decision, lets see how long he sticks with us.
This week we have started the BLOG for all you people who would like share their views about our views :) or just about anything. And since its our national obsession to criticise just anything and everything.. I hope this BLOG will go a long way in nourishing your budding talents.

The much delayed Opening ceremony of 9th SAF Games got more delayed due to security risks to the 'overly popular' President. Although underlit, the ceremony was an overall good presentation, much thanks to chinese assistance asusual. But the commentator on PTV and GEO spoiled the show. How a person so utterly outdated and inept was put there in the first place is hard to imagine..
