7 year old kid driving car, Police chasing

July 31, 2009


Tell me this isn’t a devil in the making.

This little 7-year-old kid stole a car and escaped… from church.

In the video you’ll see the chase scene and at the end, a little kid pops out of the car and runs away. It all took place in Plain City, Utah. The kid was good too. At one point, the sheriff’s deputies try to block him; but the kid headed down a side street.

Anyone who steals a car to get away from church clearly just doesn’t want to be there! You think they’ll try and make him go back next Sunday?


Ufone now start looting its customers by imposing tax on every balance check

July 31, 2009

One of the leading cellular service of Pakistan which has more than 30 million customers now starts a new way of getting money from its customers which is by imposing a 10 paisa plus tax on each time the user of Ufone will check its balance from today, August 01.

At one end this cellular network is spending a huge amount of money on advertising in which they are telling the people of Pakistan that they are providing the cheapest call and SMS rates in the country and on other end they imposed this new tax to get more money from users.

The customers of Ufone don’t even know that this new balance check tax has been imposed on them because Ufone has not send any text message which they normally send when they introduce new package.

Most of the cell users do check their balance after each call they made and if they never heard from any where then they might cannot able to notice that their each balance check is providing a 10 paisa profit to Ufone.

One more thing needs the attention of the respective authorities that what these cellular companies are showing in their advertising is not something which actually is.

One of the example is Mobilinks new Day package starts from morning 09:00 to evening 05:00, in which they said in their advertising that they will deduct 4 rupees each day from the one who will activate this package but in reality they are deducting 7 rupees each day.

Alas! As yet there is no check on these companies and these companies are totally in love with the profit they are getting from the People of Pakistan.

July 28, 2009

An emotional Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said he would resign from office Tuesday after the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) alleged that he was involved in a sensational sex scandal that rocked the state in 2006.

In 2006, a minor girl in Srinagar had accused senior politicians, bureaucrats and police officers of raping her. The Jammu and Kashmir High Court intervened and handed over the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The CBI later presented a chargesheet and a trial is underway at a sessions court in Punjab.

On Tuesday, the scandal came back to haunt Kashmiri politicians.

Senior PDP leader Muzaffar Hussain Baig submitted a list of what he said was the accused in the case prepared by the CBI. According to Baig, Abdullah’s name was 102 in the list.

Immediately after this, Abdullah got up and said he could not continue functioning as the chief minister under such circumstances.

“After the proceedings of the house today, I will go to the governor and submit my resignation. I cannot work as the chief minister until my name is cleared from the list of the accused persons,” a charged Abdullah said.

After he left the assembly, his party members followed him out in a bid to persuade him to change his mind and not act in haste.

Swine Flu makes inroads in Pakistan’s neighborhood

July 23, 2009

Swine flu has been reported to be knocking the doors of Pakistan’s neighborhood, while government sleeps soundly on all safety measures.

Earlier the government had assured full fledged and sound vigil over any advent of the monstrous disease in Country; but recent observations have revealed that all these safety measures, which also included scanning process of all inbound passengers from abroad, have been terminated.

The ministry of health laments about inadequate funds for the purpose, and seems quite unserious about the threat as well.

Swine flu has reportedly hit Afghanistan with 15 detected cases so far, India reports high incidence of 308 cases, while 16 cases have also been reported in Iran.

Reports have also indicated the confirmed presence of this deadly virus in Middle Eastern hemisphere, with 52 cases in Bahrain, Egypt 157, Iraq 26, Jordan 43, Kuwait 68, Lebanon 79, Oman 19, Palestine 80, Qatar 23, Saudi Arabia 232, Syria 5, UAE 79, and 8 cases in Yemen. A related death in Egypt has also been reported.

There is a deep cause for concern of the arrival of this deadly menace in Pakistan if not properly screened at all entry points of the Country.
