Inter-city Rail Network in Lahore.
Today I read in the news paper that the city of Lahore is finally going to have an intercity rail network. The government was sayin that the project was going to be completed in about four years which would also consist of an underground rail somthing like a tube. But I dont think that its going to be completed that soon. Anyway lets see. Pakistan really need a good mass transit system in the big cities! Although Islamabad isnt that big as lahore and karachi but it also need an immediat form of transit system because of the large increase in its population and ever increasing traffic on the roads.

The Kingdom of Beauty
This title is perfect to define the beauty of Neelum Valley in Azad jammu and Kashmir which is in Pakistan's Control..The Beautiful forests continue on their way across the line of control into the Indian held Kashmir and finally mountains converts into the flat plain of Kashmir Valley.This area is not far from the soul of Kashmir THE KASHMIR VALLEY which is in Indian Control.On the northern side (further into Pakistan)the forests end soon and these mounatins become even more high and finally Snow capped.The very calm Indigo Blue Neelum River can be seen in the picture.

Traffic!
In the last 2 to 3 years a lot of people have noticed the large increase in traffic of vehicles in Islamabad. This increase can be associated to easy access of cars to the people through banks on easy installments! Due to this people have to wait for several minute at a single intersection. The Capital Development Authority(CDA) instead of making underpasses and overhead bridges is expanding the roads which do not help much. Pollution is also on the increase due the traffic increase. More over CDA has cut a lot of trees to make more roads which cause a further loss to the beauty of Islamabad. I hope some result oriented steps ar taken to curb this issue otherwise Islamabad is soon going to look like karachi and Lahore.

Encounter with death!
Yesterday while coming back from Skaser( a sort of a hill resort) I and my family had an encounter with death. We had quiet a fatal car accident. There wasn't much traffic on the road at that time so my father increased the speed of the car. It was not 15 minutes later that a truck started to turn right with out giving an indicator! The next sound I heard was of tires squealing when my father tried not to collide with the truck. We were very fortunate that our car collided with the tires of the truck instead of going underneath it and then going off road. After that we had half an hour of confrontations with the truck driver after which he agreed to give us the money for the damage that he caused. Anyway I would thank Allah for saving our lives.
Pakistani trucks look like one off these. We collided with one like the truck shown above.

Terrorism!
Yesterday the Pakistani government passed an ordinance which would enable women not to go into jails until they had committed murder or an act of terrorism. I totally laughed my head off when I heard this news. Our government is doing so much to make the American government happy that the word terrorism is being added after every sentence. The president talks about curbing terrorism while apparently there seems to be no such threat. Innocent civilians have been killed in the western parts of the North West Frontier Province. On the contrary our policy makers should solve the more important issues like the lack of availability of power. More and more power breakdowns happen around the country. People are getting poorer day by day and the prices of the basic commodities are increasing. The frustration among people is quite immense.

Hike
Lets start with the fact that Brasil has finally lost its winning streak(Thanks God)! I have been playing tennis for quite some time now. So I am challenging anyone out there who wants to play with me. I also saw Underworld Evolution yesterday! I think its one of the coollest movie ever. I havnt got much time today so I would write a little about the hilly areas around islamabad. In the north of Islamabad there are the margala hills. U can alway go on a hike on Sundays to enjoy a good work out and the beautiful environment and the greenry of the hills. The surroundings in the hills is always cool under the trees. One of the best places to hike is the starting point near the cricket ground above sector F-6. So people enjoy the hike.

Argentina lost!
Man Argentina just lost the match to Germany. I totally hated the win by the German. Argentinian deserved to go to the semi-finals! Anyway now I am supporting the germans(Isnt that strange).
Sleepy and boring!
According to the people from rest of the Pakistan, Islamabad is a boring city with nothing fun to do.But on the contrary it is not. U can visit a lot of places if you are in the mood for party and U must have the right friends in some cases! One place that has become quite popular these days is the Hotspot. Its a cool place to chill out. Recently Dunkin' Donuts have also opened a lot of there outlets in almost every big markaz( Central Market of a sector). They are also a cool place to visit. Apart from these there are many other resturants which U can visit! I would be adding more names soon with pictures.

I would start with the fact that the people of Islamabad are quite liberal if you compare them with the rest of the Pakistan. Most the population is educated and a lot of them can speak English fluently. Many have accepted the western ideas. Girls specially talk with a made up American accent.
Let me now tell you about the atmosphere in my school. Most of the students that study in my school can be presumed to be belonging to the upper middleclass rather than the elite class of citizens. A large percentage of boys and girls would mingle with each other and converse quite freely on various subjects.Boyfriends and girlfriends are quite common. Students try to be more trendy and fashionable to gain popularity and attract others attention.Music is a popular topic the teenagers here. Most have the latest information about the western music scene. Boy are particularly influenced by the rock music and the hip-hop culture. A lot of people in school can afford latest gadgets like expensive mobile phones. Portable mp3 players are quiet common and their head phones can be seen clanged to their ears.Some even own cars. So the environment here can be associated to a western high school (except that we don't have lockers here).
I am explaining this due to the fact that Islamabad is quite different for the rest of the cities of Pakistan.Activities that happen in Islamabad do not happen in other cities except for bigger cities like lahore and Karachi. Unlike the other cities Islamabad is quite liberal.Although I would say that we as a nation are losing our identity and culture.

For the next two years I had to do my A-levels from The City School. As I had already studied in this school I was looking forward to meet my old friends.I went to the school in the morning and confirmed my registration in the school.While confirming my registration another boy was also registring, who turned out to be in my class. This boy was to become one of my good friends in the future. I went to my class along with him on the first floor. There were only a few students at that time in the class, so I waited for others to come.I soon met with quite a lot of my old friends. The first class of the acedamic years was to start in the second period,so we just lingered in the corridors of the 1st floor. The first classes were quite boring. After they were over I returned back to were I lived. I found my self difficult to accomodate my self in this new envirnoment. But things would soon change.

My journey starts of with me sitting in a bus moving towards Islamabad. It was the first time I was traveling in a public transport bus. I was going there to study for A-levels which meant that I had to live without my family for the first time. I was going to live with my step-aunt who was living in sector G-10( Who is still living there) at that time I didn't knew them that well but I didn't have other options at that time.
The first night that I spent in there was quite difficult! I couldn't even sleep because of the thoughts that were racing through my mind. I kept on thinking about tomorrow and the things that I had to do. For the first 2 week that I spent in there I slept in my cousins room who worked in a bank and was usually out most of the time.
After being wake all night and waiting for the morning to come, I finally got up and started to dress up for school.
