A question that has been buzzing all the way to International level.
Mohummad Karim is a skier who will be participating in Sochi Winter Olympics in order to represent his nation,Pakistan.He has held the nation with immense pride.

“I started skiing at the age of four years on wooden skis made by my uncle. Our schools were closed in the winter and skiing was the only way to spend our holidays,” he told.

“We made skis ourselves and went skiing on local slopes, then later the air force organised a competition in which we learnt more and then started this profession.” he further elaborates.

Asia Cup 2014:Pakistan vs India

Ok so yesterday that is on 2nd March 2014, aired the most exciting and thrilling match for cricket lovers. India vs Pakistan  You never know who will win the match that makes this match all too exciting. India had given target of 245 to Pakistan which had although seemed distant but was yet accomplished. The game plan did flip flops in the last five overs when Pakistan was at strike. After the catch out of Umer Gul, the match had seemed quite out of grip. Later Saeed Ajmal went out developing pressure on Pakistani team. It was all on the shoulders of Shahid Afridi which he not only suceeded but also did it quite remarkably with his last and amazing match winning six. One thing interesting is that such scenario between India and Pakistan had also occurred once during the Sharjah cup back in 1985/86 with only one wicket remaining. At that time,Javaid Miandad had hit the match winning sixer and now it was Shahid Khan Afridi. There is indeed similarity in the two Asia c...

Robot to the rescue: Emerging Pakistan

I am quite pleased to announce this is a good news about Pakistan. A student of MSc Sulaiman Khan  at the Institute of Physics and Electronics, University of Peshawar has earned himself an honor of devising a robot such to defuse bombs. “I got the idea from the movie. The situation in K-P was the final straw, people dying while trying to defuse bombs and save lives,” he told The Express Tribune over the phone. The student used his limited financial resources to make this robot taking the time span of three months.Approximately Rs.82000/= was consumed in the process. The student claims that if the project is well funded, he could have made a better robot with sensors and other specifications rather than compromising to give away a cheap model. “the movement assembly is like a car’s”. It is battery operated and has one arm, but another can easily be added. “The hand has a five directional motion, and the rotator cuff can move 360 degrees.” Sulaiman Khan plans on building ...
