The Aga Khan Board

By MK -
We have been hearing a lot of fuss about the Aga Khan educational board and the radical change that it will bring into the education system of the country. I personally don't have any opinion at present but it seems that some of the people outside the campus are quite vocal about it. Just five minutes ago there was an announcement on the loudspeakers being carried on the back of a vehicle that warned the people of the adverse consequences of accepting the board in our educational system. There has been wall chalking on all the walls near our university that outright condemns the creation of such a board.

Faryal Gohar the other day wrote in the Daily Dawn. I normally do not read articles that are longer than a few words unless they are really interesting or really important. Had heard about her and read few of her articles previously so thoght that this one might be worth the time. And it really was.

No one could have even thought of Waheed achieving even second place in the race for EPC yet he won against all expectations. Though margin of victory was not convincing yet his mere win is a pleasant surprise. I must say it took some doing to get votes from fence sitters (fawad thankyou for the term) . Many factors can be attributed to this unexpected success. Firstly Waheed holds a good name in the class (wannabe TA). Secondly his campaign was well planned and worked out. Thirdly his opponents took him too easy. Fourthly he has silver shining in his scalp that makes him look experienced. Finally and most importantly I think we were honest and straight forward in our dealing. Allah came to our help. Hussain was a indisputable winner right from the word...

It has been ages since this blog was used... the last post was about Sportingo; something that Moiz was talking about and i never bothered to check out... Neeways... Tendulkar scored a fucking double century .... that man is a god.... he is fucking thirty seven and he carried his bat through without using a runner.... and this was against South Africa and not against one of the minions... I am a bit sad that Saeed Anwar's 194 (check out his beard on the cricinfo page) got surpassed but i'm glad that the record was broken by a batsman who deserves RESPECT... p.s. The dawn editorial is interesting... It has been a while since i have seen a totally sports related editorial in any of the major newspapers from Pakistan...
