Plenty more where this came from can be found here.

Hubba Hubba...where you been all my life....LOL

Thanks to Sohail Mailk for the find!

Wait am I the only person who didnt know about...

Aisam Ul Haque's divorce? There is obviously more to the story but Pakistanis should rise above the western obsession with gossip, tabloids and kardashian-esque wedding/divorces.

That being said....if someone wants to email me and share some gossip...I'll get the kettle ready for tea ;)

Reminds me of a time Alisha and I once took a Rickshaw to Muddys!

Karachiites...why must you be so cool. Cant wait for it to come to Isloo by my next trip.

Call-a-Rik at your door-step for an affordable price of Rs10 per kilometer.

The Call-a-Rik project, launched by Penta Enterprises on July 24, initially has 27 rickshaws with spotless doors and glass windows. The rickshaws’ backseats are as big as Suzuki Mehran, an LCD screen for entertainment, and headphones for every passenger to buffer the noise outside.

The Vehicle is designed in considering the Passenger’s comfort. “It is safe and secure from sound & dust pollution. Passenger’s especially accompanying children safety is our prime objective. You can see that its lockable doors will keep you and your clothes safe from dust,” the company claims.

“Each vehicle is installed with a tracking device so that our office knows exactly where each and every passenger is. If you put your child in one of our ricks you can find his exact location from us whenever you want,” Pakistan leading English daily The News quoted Mohsin Dharsi, as company representative, as saying.

The vehicles, manufactured and assembled in Pakistan, will travel to any place in Karachi, apart from Lyari, North Karachi and Kati Pahari, and a few more conflict-ridden areas. However the company charge Rs.10 per kilometer but Rs100 is the minimum fair of any ride below 10 kilometer.

The project aims to increase the number of rickshaws in the city to 100 by December, and after that there are plans of introducing them in the cities of Lahore and Islamabad.

“We have received an overwhelming response by the public, way more than expected. Yesterday, I received a call from a Pakistani living in Germany who wanted to invest in 50 rickshaws with me.”

Dharsi claims that he has also received feedback from friends in Bangladesh, who want to replicate the project there.

“It is neither a Taxi nor a Rickshaw. We have named it “RIK”,” the company says.

You can call or SMS for booking at 0331-CALLRIK (2255 745).

Ink stain fights...ah memories of Pakistan in the 90s

Nostalgia. I was definitely a Dollar girl. Piano ball points and saved my Shaffer ka pen for special assignments. =)

Snooze Cubes!

Brilliant idea! I always wanted to quit my advertising job and start a business of nap pods in downtown Manhattan. The idea came to me Dario and I as we sluggishly walked around during our lunch break after a long night of clubbing on a weeknight we found ourselves at work a few hours later. Sleep in our eyes, red bulls for breakfast and how another 5 hours at work seemed impossible. It was then at a deli when I announced to Dario that I was going to quit my job and start this business. It was perfect for travellers waiting for their buses and party-monsters like us that would spend all night dancing and yet had to come to work the next day. Dario brought me back to reality by reminding me that it could become a haven for the homeless, hookers tricking with johns in our nap pods and of course all it would take would be ine infestation of crabs for me to go bankrupt. It was back to work we went. =(

But this is great and the next time Im going home...I know I have a place to nap, be lazy and even blog in Dubai! =)
