Nor are accusations of a furtive love; Stride in the bazaar today, shackles on your feet. Stride with arms spread open and in wild abandon; Stride with dust-covered hair and blood-stained shirt; Stride, all the beloved city watches the road. The official and the commoner; Arrows of slander and stones of insult. Sad mornings and barren days; Who but we can be their companion? Who in the beloved town remains free of guilt? Who remains worthy of the killer's hand? Broken-hearted ones, prepare to leave; Let us stride to meet our death today.

You enjoy the moment because you are sad. you never forget the instances when you are forlorn and with your one. Rest of it is desperation." 26 January Cold Night beside Gulf (Voyage of Longing)After Whole Day's busy life; which I try with all my desperation to live as unnoticeably as possible, I have some moments which I can live for myself. I grabbed my coat and set out to explore the rain, Persian Gulf and my Life; My Comfort remains; the bits of embodiment of my past; my woes; my You... Cold tantalizing breeze is enchanting and I am walking on the long road of Ajman with my silent thoughts and my precious guilt. I always wanted this moment, when I walk along to the belief that there is someone mighty than me... someone who has the power to take me in his cradle and make me forget myself. The beauty and serenity of gulf captured my attention the moment I laid down my eyes upon her and I knew that instant, that my inspiration is driven wild by her. But now that I am sitting on a bench near her; I am thinking about you. And perhaps, I realized that the moments I steal from life for myself are the thoughts of you. How strange is the idea, that I have none my own... not even my special moments, and while thinking about you I am smiling there is some connection of you with happiness or perhaps that was the only happiness of mine and now it is spread all across me like white sand. Sitting here... thinking about you is the best feeling I ever have in my life, almost the way we shared our presence to each other or perhaps even more.. It's amazing how my precious guilt is more liberating than overwhelming. There was a fear that I may have cried at this moment but all this time I was expecting that you will silently come behind me, put your hand on my shoulder and sit with me beside the bench and we don’t utter a single word; you, me and the sea... This is life. It's almost around 4:00 am, the time when I always happen to wakeup and see the line around your jaw. Just because I never happened to see it while you were awake. It is my secret.. There came the sound of my song; 'voyage of faith'.. Which you dedicated me once and i started looking the place I had your mark... But it is gone. It is almost a year since we met and then parted and your birthday is approaching; I wont even be anywhere near you. I will celebrate your birthday in my own way I know.. Standing still, coming every night of my stay near to my Gulf... 20 January Why rightnow...?have you ever had feeling like crying out loud... but you cant because you are surrounded by your office mates.. and you dont want to look crazy... I am unable to do a single thing rightnow... but i am doing the same code again and again and again just because i have to... why is it so hard to live upto the expectations of others... am i going a bit crazy or does it happens to everybody... God Knows... And now to clean dripping eyes continuously isnt working... and i dont know why am i crying... hahaha crazy me... 01 January The Youth Magazine Site LaunchedFinally after all this time, I was able to launch the website http://www.theyouth.com.pk Magazine's Launch is postponed though till February due to present conditions of Pakistan, after Benazir Bhutto's Death... Let's all of us Pray together to get out of the current political and social Crisis ... 30 October Methods of Below the Line sales promotion1. Price promotions Price promotions are also commonly known as" price discounting". These can be done in two ways: (a) A discount to the normal selling price of a product, or (b) More of the product at the normal price. Price promotions however can also have a negative effect by spoiling the brand reputation or just a temporary sales boost (during the discounts) followed by a lull when the discount would be called off. 2. Coupons Coupons are another, very versatile, way of offering a discount. Consider the following examples of the use of coupons: - On a pack to encourage repeat purchase - In coupon books sent out in newspapers allowing customers to redeem the coupon at a retailer - A cut-out coupon as part of an advert - On the back of till receipts The key objective with a coupon promotion is to maximize the redemption rate – this is the proportion of customers actually using the coupon. It must be ensured when a company uses coupons that the retailers must hold sufficient stock to avoid customer disappointment. Use of coupon promotions is often best for new products or perhaps to encourage sales of existing products that are slowing down. 3. Gift with purchase The "gift with purchase" is a very common promotional technique. In this scheme, the customer gets something extra along with the normal good purchased. It works best for - Subscription-based products (e.g. magazines) - Consumer luxuries (e.g. perfumes) 4. Competitions and prizes This is an important tool to increase brand awareness amongst the target consumer. It can be used to boost up sales for temporary period and ensure usage amongst first time users. 5. Money refunds Here, a customer receives a money refund after submitting a proof of purchase to the manufacturer. Customers often view these schemes with some suspicion – particularly if the method of obtaining a refund looks unusual or onerous. 6. Frequent user / loyalty incentives Repeat purchases may be stimulated by frequent user incentives. Perhaps the best examples of this are the many frequent flyer or user schemes used by airlines, train companies, car hire companies etc. 7. Point-of-sale displays Shopping habits are changing for the people living in metropolitan cities. People prefer big retail outlets like Big Bazaar to local kirana stores. Most of the decisions of buying are taken by the virtue of point-of-sale displays in these retail outlets. 17 October Discover Yourself

31 July Dont SlideEven on a day like this when you're crawling on the floor
Reaching for the phone to ring anyone who knows you anymore It's all right to make mistakes you're only human Inside everybody's hiding something Staring at the same four walls, have you tried to help yourself
The rings around your eyes they don't hide, that you need to get some rest It's all right to make mistakes you're only human Inside everybody's hiding something Take time to catch your breathe and choose your moment Don't slide, don't slide Even at a time like this when the morning seems so far
Think that pain belongs to you but it's happened to us all It's all right to make mistakes you're only human Inside everybody's hiding something Take time to catch your breathe and choose your moment Don't slide, don't slide You brought this on yourself and it's high time you left it there Lie here and rest your head and dream of something else instead Don't slide, don't slide 21 July Harry Potter and the Deathly HallowsDownload Original Version of Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows
