———-  UPDATE ———

I’d like to RETRACT this message totally - a friend Hasnain Shahban did a little googling to find out that these rates are of Indian Parliament - not Pakistan National Assembly 

Link: 
No food inflation in Parliament canteen by Times of India 


But a public request is to be made to find out what the Pakistan National Assembly canteen rates are in reality - im sure they are more of less the same

Thank you Hasnain for clarifying this fact

Copy of secret letter Bush left for Obama

In the grand tradition of…uh, tradition, outgoing president George W. Bush left something for Barack Obama on the Oval Office desk. And no, it wasn’t a steaming pile of excrement. It was note wishing the new president well and offering some advice on life in the White House.

The content of the note is supposedly a big secret, though luckily, our spies in Washington were able to sneak past White House security, infiltrate the Oval Office, make a copy of the letter (portable scanner, natch) and get it back to us so we could post it for your reading pleasure. What advice does 43 have for 44? Take a look. (Credit HuffingtonPost)

A Poem Dedicated to the IDP’s [Urdu]

Wo jo Darbadar, Khak basar hoe,
Wo jo Lut gae, Be ghhar hoe,wo na mange tm se tmhara ghhar,
Na tmhara Sukh, Na tumhara Dar,

Wo to chahte haen guzar basar,
Un he wadiyo me ummer bhar,


Ye Karra waqt, ye talkhiyan, Ye gradishen, ye bijliyan,
Chalo Qaflo ko karo Rawan,


Aao mil k unka sath do, Jo madad karey wo hath do,
K ye apni dharti k log haen, unhen zindagi ki soghat do,
Unhen phir wohi
SAWAT do!!!!!

SWAT do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spreading of Malicious SMS’s against our President

It has been noted with GREAT concern that certain vested elements are spreading malicious messages against our president and we are forwarding them ourselves

Not realising the damage being done to our beloved country

Zara sochen

Wo beghairat aap ka sadar hay !
Us kameenay ki bhi kuch izzat hay !
Khabardar jo kisi ne us gadhay ko gaali di! Haya karo !
Zaleel kanjar hamara sadar hay!
Hum us chor ki izzat nhi karengay to wo fraudia mulk ko bhi baich da ga
.

Please DO [not] forward - you have been warned

Hell, Pakistani Style

An Pakistani dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there is a different hell for each country. He goes first to the German hell and asks “What do they do here?” He is told “First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day.”

The man does not like the sound of that at all, so he moves on. He checks out the USA hell as well as the Russian hell and many more. He discovers that they are all more or less the same as the German hell.

Then he comes to the Pakistani hell and finds that there is a very long line of people waiting to get in. Amazed he asks “What do they do here?”

He is told “First they put you in an electric chair for an hour.Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour.

Then the Pakistani devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day.” But that is exactly the same as all the other hells - why are there so many people waiting to get in? “Because maintenance is so bad >that»the electric chair does not work, someone has stolen all the nails from the bed, and the devil is a former Govt servant, so he comes in, signs the register and then goes to the cafeteria… “
