Banta Singh to Bill Gates
Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
This letter is from Banta Singh from Punjab. We have bought a computer for our home and we found problems, which I want to bring to your notice.
1. After connecting to internet we planned to open e-mail account and whenever we fill the form in Hotmail in the password column, only ****** appears, but in the rest of the fields whatever we typed appears, but we face this problem only in password field. We checked with hardware vendor Santa Singh and he said that there is no problem in keyboard. Because of this we open the e-mail account with password *****. I request you to check this as we ourselves do not know what the password is.
2. We are unable to enter anything after we click the 'shut down 'button.
3. There is a button 'start' but there is no "stop" button. We request you to check this.
4. We find there is 'Run' in the menu. One of my friend clicked 'run ' has ran upto Amritsar! So, we request you to change that to "sit", so that we can click that by sitting.
5. One doubt is that any 're-scooter' available in system? As I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home.
6. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot for tracing the key with this ' find', but unable to trace. Is it a bug??
7. Every night I am not sleeping as i have to protect my 'mouse' from CAT, So i suggest u to provide one DOG to kill that cat.
9. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when u will provide that?
Best regards,

Smile With Me - Buying Gifts For Men
Got it on the internet. Amusing for men and funny for women...
Buying gifts for men is not nearly as complicated as it is for women. Follow these rules and you should have no problems.
Rule #1: When in doubt - buy him a cordless drill. It does not matter if he already has one. I have a friend who owns 17 and he has yet to complain. As a man, you can never have too many cordless drills. No one knows why.
Rule #2: If you cannot afford a cordless drill, buy him anything with the word ratchet or socket in it. Men love saying those two words. "Hey George, can I borrow your ratchet?" "OK. By-the-way, are you through with my 3/8 inch socket yet?" Again, no one knows why.
Rule #3: If you are really, really broke, buy him anything for his car. A 99 cent ice scraper, a small bottle of de-icer or something to hang from his rear view mirror. Men love gifts for their cars. No one knows why.
Rule #4: Do not buy men socks. Do not buy men ties. And never buy men bathrobes. I was told that if God had wanted men to wear bathrobes, he wouldn't have invented Jockey shorts.
Rule #5: You can buy men new remote controls to replace the ones they have worn out. If you have a lot of moneybuy your man a big screen TV and watch him go wild as he flips, and flips, and flips.
Rule #6: Buy men label makers. Almost as good as cordless drills. With-in a couple of weeks there will be labels absolutely everywhere. "Socks. Shorts. Cups. Saucers. Door. Lock. Sink." You get the idea. No one knows why.
Rule #7: Good places to shop for men include Northwest Iron Works, Parr Lumber, Home Depot, John Deere, Valley RVCenter, and Les Schwab Tire. (NAPA Auto Parts and Sears' Clearance Centers are also excellent men's stores. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know what itis. "From NAPA Auto, eh? Must be something I need. Hey! Isn't this a starter for a '68 Ford Fairlane? Wow! Thanks.")
Rule #8: It's hard to beat a really good wheelbarrow or an aluminum extension ladder. Never buy a real man a step ladder. It must be an extension ladder. No one knows why.
Rule #9: Clamps. Men can never have enough quick grip clamps. No one knows why.
Rule #10: Buy your man Duct Tape. This is a man's most universal repair tool. All men know, if you can't fix it, duct it.

Noor in the morning.
Our son Noor Ud Din is growing fast. Recently he has developed the habit of waking up in the morning and crying like hell. The idea is to wake everybody up and not let them sleep anymore. How dare anybody sleep while he is awake? Get up and go on about doing your things. I don't want to see you lying down. He seems to be telling us. When the home machinery has started and everybody is busy in their daily chores, he is at ease.
If I try to trace this, then I find this habit of his in my very dear Tahir Mammooo. Once he used to get up, he used to ensure that everybody is up as well. But he used to attack subtly by going to each and everyone and using straw poking into ears and/or continuous chitter chatter.
Where Noor Ud Din's style is to cry his lungs out.

Emergency 2007
Emergency has been put onto the Nation of Pakistan as on 3rd November 2007. The move is done for freeing the Judiciary from people who have a bit of integrity left in their bones. There are some people condemning Emergency and they are in majority and are quite loud. There are some people on Musharraf's side but they are generally silent. And there are some people who say, what the heck? Emergency has no affect on my life so what do I care.
Surely if you have enough money to take your dear ones to private rather than government hospitals where the number of patients is far greater than the number of beds then you don't need to care.
Surely if you have enough money to travel by car or taxi rather than travel in over crowded buses with space for just one hand and one foot, then you don't need to care.
Surely, if you have enough money to hire the services of the best lawyers to present your cases in the courts, where by the way you being right will not matter, then you don't need to care.
Surely, if you have enough references and links in the government to protect you from goons, land mafia, bhatta collectors etc, then you don't need to care.
Surely, if you have enough money to send your children to private schools, rather than government run schools where there is no furniture and no teachers, then you don't need to care.
Surley, if you have enough money to rent or own a house in that part of your city where there are no gangs and no gang wars and your children can play around in the neighbourhood happily and safely, then you don't need to care.
Surely, if you can ensure that such luxuries, as mentioned above, can be passed onto your children as well, then you don't need to care.
But as for me, I believe that the continuous mis-representation of the section of Pakistani society who wants to live the Islamic way of life, is going to give birth to further extremism and further deterioration.
I believe that now Lal Masjid, May 12 and Oct 18 carnages in Karachi will have no convictions and they would eventually become parts of dusty dossiers.
But it does not matter what anyone of us believe and how happy or sad we are with whatever is going on. I believe in the court which is much higher than the Supreme Court, where the Judge, Jury and Executioner is the same. In whose courts you cannot lie as the prime witnesses will be your hands, your eyes, your feet. In whose courts there can be no NROs and no deals. Where the poor will be equal to rich and powerful. For they are the heavenly courts of Maalik-e-Yaum-Deen (the Maalik of the day of the judgement). Over there cases such as Lal Masjid, May 12 and Oct 18 carnages will be disposed off in just a few seconds.
Sometimes I wonder that maybe Allah has allowed the killers to escape punishment in this world and have few more days in sunshine. For no court or ruler of the world can execute a punishment which equals their crime. The crime which is the brazen Massacre of Innocent People.
All of you, who do believe and do care, worry not, since that day is not far, when Justice will be done and truth will prevail.
