Zong is a consumer / youth-centric brand from China Mobile that is making waves with their very eye-catching ads, and with the fact that they are pulling people out of Mobilink with full zeal. One of their ads that appeared in print media recently is below:

This ad does a very good job of summarizing the “state of slang and cultural memes among the youth” if you will.

But looking closely you find a couple of even more interesting things…

e.g. the fact that they are very very subtly poking fun at the taglines of competing telecos – can you guess which ones?

Even more hilarious is this piece right at the bottom:

Yes that is actually part of the ad – poor poor guy.

  • No doubt, their sub-keh-do day and the linked song was the best output from their marketing team so far. Otherwise, they only end up making substandard ads, for example their recent ad had a terrible scene to prove “na mumkin ko mumkin bana day”. See a post about it here :

  • God bless Pakistan and finish the root causes which disturb the peace and stability in Pakistan and which seems to be in hands of someone else.Islam is the religion of peace which gives the lesson to live and in respectable way and let allow the others to live.It gives the lesson of love and affection to the mankind.While Hazrat Sulaiman Alai hissalam flying in the air heard the voice of ant,He took petty upon it and came down with his group/forces.Islam is the religion which does recognize and protect even the rights of birds and animals.Terrorism is un-Islamic word.The meaning of the word Islam is peace.

    There is a saying of Holly Prophet Muhammad ur Rasulullah Peace be Upon Him, The killer of a single Muslim is the killer of whole the Universe,There will be curse upon him from God,Angles,and all the Universe.He will remain in punishment for ever and will never come back from the Hell/Jahannum.and to escape one life is as to escape the whole Universe.

    No religion of the world permits the stupid activities of causing loss to human being and to the lives of innocent people.

    This is Un-Islamic face of someone else which is misinterpreted and wrongly.These are not Muslims and if some are,then playing in the hands of others and mastermind is someone else.

  • My dear countrymen, my dear friends, , those who are working for Pakistan.We are facing the worst crisis in our country’s life, a deadly crisis. We have to pick up the pieces, very small pieces, but we will make a new Pakistan, a prosperous and progressive Pakistan. For Progress of nation we shall have to bring revolution in all major industries, including iron and steel, heavy engineering, heavy electrical, petrochemicals, cement and public utilities and in all economic and Technical fields.

  • we can adopt the following measures to improve the quality in education:-

    While increasing participation and reducing inequities remain considerable challenges for many countries, improving quality of education for all is the most important challenge faced by educators around the world. It is critical to assure that all students acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to participate as productive citizens in their local and global communities.

    Improving educational quality requires simultaneous and systematic attention to many important issues. Quality is about student learning outcomes and the educational environment. It is about the teachers and the teaching and learning process. It is about effective leadership as well as competent system management and administration which we have with the grace of Almighty Allah in IIU Alhamdulillah. It is about the effective, efficient, and equitable delivery of inputs as well as the distribution of outputs and outcomes. It is about creating broad-based participation in a unified effort to improve education. It is about aligning goals, objectives, and investments across all levels.

    We can manage a two week seminar for this purpose. This two-week seminar is required to gives participants the opportunity to look broadly at the challenge of improving quality in education systems and explore all dimensions of quality in education with colleagues from around the world.

    Thinking broadly and systematically about efforts to improve quality in education systems

    Understanding all dimensions of the debate about quality in education

    Identifying meaningful quality indicators

    Strengthening data and information systems on all levels to support increased quality

    Developing effective monitoring and evaluation systems

    Learning what other countries are doing to improve quality; what works best for them, and why

    Improving Quality in Education Systems may be designed for policy makers, planners, managers, researchers, and other professional educators concerned with the design, implementation, and delivery of quality education for all.

    The seminar is most appropriate for Academic Staff and individuals with at least three years of experience in a decision-making or senior management role, or as senior staff in areas like policy analysis, research, planning, or monitoring and evaluation. The seminar is also useful for individuals who are moving into more senior positions and who will be assuming increased levels of responsibility for improving quality in education.

    Country and Institutional Teams

    Ministries, educational institutions, and donor agencies if any may be encouraged to send teams of three to five participants. Teams offer opportunities for shared learning and reinforcement of new ideas. They also increase the potential for application of new insights and understandings.

    Lectures:-

    Sessions may include a variety of formats: lectures, case studies, and review and discussion of current education reform efforts in different countries. In addition to formal working sessions, opportunities may be provided provided for participants to share their knowledge and experience with each other. Opportunities for individual work and research may also be offered. Visits to local educational institutions and meetings with local education officials are important elements. Participants learn how education is managed and delivered and educators are addressing the demand for improvement in education quality.

  • There are two kinds of powers.One is,having revolver in hand, placing it upon forehead of someone,taking away a thing from him which is his right and giving it to someone else.
    2nd is having pen in the hands instead of revolver using power of the oath instead of bullet depriving a person from a thing which is his right by misuse of power and giving it to someone else.

  • “ PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE, A COMPARASION”
    There were 360 idols for “parastish and pooja Pot” in Kahba at the time of Hazrat Ibrahim Alaihessalam.As the Age is going toward progress day today, -We increased this number 4 times more gradually with the passage of time. Setting a side teaching of Quran, Parastish of bosses is essential otherwise loss is caused.Making their tawaf having Loata and Tawal in the hands is necessary .there is no credit of honesty and acting upon the teaching of Quran.If orders of God are neglected does,t matter.Wishes of boss should not be effected as he can cause u harm. America has unwritten constitution but is in practice and we have these unwritten things but are in practices.One who does not care about these essential thing will go into grave but will not get any benefit .His scholarly approach may be equivalent to Quaid –e- Azam or any great Scholar but in vain.”Mere wishes can catch no fishes”.
    The nation can never do progress where golden principles are neglected and which does not give value and weight to the talent and ability.Bundle of degrees is something else and talent and ability is something different.God has not created even a stone useless.There are God gifted abilities,talent potentials and things amongst the human being.Finding them out and to make their utilization is essential . Where talent is not appreciated and given honor and value ,extraordinary achievements can not be made.600 pages can be written Upon the topic of right man at right place.For these circumstances of this time God utilized Iqal,s mind as instrument and he described the satiation as under:- “WOH MUHAZZAZ THEY ZAMANEY MAIN MUSALMAN HO KAR
    AUR TU KHWAR HOVEY TARIQ E QURAN HOA KAR
    QALB MAIN SOAZ NAHEEN ,Roh main IHSAAS NEHEEN,
    KUCHH BHEE PAIGHAM E MUHAMMAD KA TUMHAIN PASS NAHEEN”
    But it is a team work a single authority can not change the atmosphare.Collective efforts are required.

  • azart Abubakar Saddique RaziAllah hu taala hanhu says at the time of addressing the public after becoming their Khalifatul Muslameen that I am designated your Khaleefa.I can be wrong.If I do a thing which is wrong,don,t cooperate with me and if I am doing a thing/act which is right,cooperate with me.Chief administrator of the then muslim world says that I can be wrong.But our rules say that boss is always right. “Umar Farooq” RaziAllah hu taala hanhu, could not sleep all the night due to this fear that if injustice is done with any animal even a dog , I shall be held responsible and answerable to God,He will ask me.Islam is the relegion which protects the rights of even birds and animals. When Sulaiman Alaihissalam was flying in the Air and heard the voice of an aunt, he took pity upon it.He came down with his battels,Division.and his this act of taking pity upon a little creature was so much liked by the God that He reveled a complete “Sura e Namal” with this reference. And name of little animal aunt is associated with the name of Sura which is proof that God does not like the world of status.
    When Quresh-e- makka Came to the Prophet and said that the clothes of yours friends are not well etc so we can,t come to you because of them and set aside them,we shall come to you and dignity of your Majlis will increased.A complete Aya and orders from God came, not to set a side those poor friends Whom Status was less then rich leaders and authorities of Quresh.etc .So if injustice is being done with any little employee we should not feel shame to help him.
    Islam does not give the lesson of creating hurdles in the way of Progress of those who want that Orders of God may be preffered and implimented while obeying the seniors and there should be rule of God upon the Land of God, as Soverignty belongs to Him.He can ask that , I was your Khalik and Malik and You neglected my orders and preffered/ obeyed the order of your senior in greed of your service benefits,Why? “HUKMARAN HAY IK WOHI BAQI BATANI AAZARI”
    That is why “Any thing repugnant to Holly Quran and Sunneh is null and void as per Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan” the supriame Law of the land.” But practically neither we could finish Ribba nor other things.

    Let me introduce the Dawansar,Ghuchhn,Naanga ,Barheh,Banni,Dera Lal Khan,Meerajaani.This is a valley of Dawansar at front side of Thandiani at its double height and at back side of Kotla/Basali,Abbottabad,from where you can see the kashmir under-feet.these places are parodize upon the earth.Having no example in beauty and attraction. And the best natural Picnic spots But because of having no facility of Road people know less about these places.But the whole valley is full of natural beauty having no example .I have seen with my open eyes the Dawansar,Ghuchh,Naanga,Barheh,Banni,Byedaar,Killeh, Dera Lal Khan and Meerajani.There is no comparasion in beauty with these places upon the earth.Unfortunately the picnic spot, Valley of Dawansar is disappeared from the eyes of the people because of having no facility of Road there.
    When beautiful flowers are waiting to kiss the hands and figures and a valley looks like a parodize upon the earth.When smiling needles and hairs of pine trees are moving and and seen as dancing /singing and clouds bring an aanchal and birds sings a song.When streams and rivers express their emotions/ affection and funny . When greenery is waiting to kiss the bare feet and fresh and cold breaz of air, full and loaded of perfume of flowers and rose prattles are waiting to embrace and the cold and clean water of the valley is thirsty to touch the sweet and soft lips and voices of the songs of birds are touching the ears. When shadows of the trees give proof of faithfulness and waves of waters are touching the neck and make an act of piety.When birds do throw the flowers and leaves prattles upon the head and the trees make listen the loari and the grassy land having shadow of trees takes in the lap. How you can forget the Galyat and Beautiful vally of having in the lap the Dawansar,Ghuchh,Barheh,Naanga,Banni ,Dera Lal Khan and meerajani near Beerangali and at front of Thandiani at its double hight from where the kashmir is seen underfeet.

    Abdul Waheed Qureshi Says:

  • All people of the world worship God but the God sends Darood and “Salaat”upon his beloved Prophet Muhammad ur Rasoolullah (peace be upon him) and not only this but also assigned this duty to the angles to do so.and ordered those who beleive him to do so also as it is favourate routine of the God Almighty and a matter of love and effection.
    The pilgrammage of the angles is that a group of them come to the Grave of the Holly Prophet everyday in the morning/Dawn and the group came once will never have a chance to come again till the end as they are in majority.
    Neither the God has sent us to collect the wealth nor make properties but to worship him and follow his beloved Prophet who loves God and to whom the God almighty loves more than all.

  • THE UNITY OF 58 MUSLIM COUNTRIES AND GATHERING THEM UPON ONE PLATFORM IS AS MUCH IMPORTANT AS THE CIRCULATION OF BLOOD INTO the VEINS FOR A BODY.

    1. The UNO is working for the interest of only and on;y the Jews and Christ in the world. Is it not necessary to establish UMCO (United Muslim Countries Organization) in its response for protection of the interests of the Muslim World? Why is it essential?

    2. Why is it necessary to sell the raw material and Oil @million dollars to Western/ non Muslim Countries and @only some rupees to the Muslim countries of the world?

    3. Why do we get F-16 @ billion dollars and in response sell raw material on nominal low prices. If they can not adopt sympathetic attitude to us, why do we have sympathies for them?

    4. Why is it necessary for us to establish New Economic policies and Trade procedure separate and easy for Muslim Countries and costly and difficult for non Muslim countries?

    6. How to get the sympathies of Arab Countries

    7. Why it is unforgivable Crime for a Muslim Country to get nuclear technology and development in any field of science and technology and is a noble act for a country belonging to the zone of Jews and Christ.
