Google Doodle Celebrates Independence Day of Pakistan

I Guess this is first time ever happened in Google’s history Finally Google has given Pakistanis a doodle for Pakistan's Independence Day. The design of the doodle is not very artistic. Just something thrown in a hurry. The doodle does not reflect on people and culture of Pakistan or even the importance of the day. They have used minar-e-Pakistan as L in the Google. Minar-e-Pakistan was built to remember the day when Pakistan resolution was passed by All India Muslim League on 23rd March 1940. This building represents another day that we celebrate which is called the Pakistan Day. The head of the second g is shaped like the Crescent and star in Pakistani flag. There are other stars thrown in which are all green and the one with the Crescent is white. Perhaps other stars, and then the one different from other stars point to some sort of symbolism on how Pakistanis are very much like rest of the world yet uniquely different. Happy Independence day...

Photo Editor , the World’s number one seller, in all categories, on Blackberry App Store happens to be ‘Made in Pakistan’. Developed by a Lahore-based software company Pepper.PK , the Photo Editor for blackberry has made it to the top of list for paid applications. Tech Lahore has detailed post on the topic, it says: Pakistan’s IT industry has come a long, long way. The capabilities and skills of our companies are developing not just in the area of software engineering, but project management, product marketing and promotion. It’s no easy feat to leave HUGE names like Facebook and Monopoly, among dozens of others, behind! But what Pepper.pk’s laudable achievement proves is that not only are Pakistan based software companies ultra-competitive, they are, quite literally, second to none.{via: propakistani }

Asian Games 2010: A bright day for Pakistan

Pakistan brought gold home at the Asian Games on Thursday.  Many believe that it is Pakistan’s right to be the holder of so many medals since, traditionally, Pakistan has been good at hockey and squash and has been world champion in the past. Pakistan is considered to be the greatest ever squash-playing nation of all time, and credit for this goes to the Khan dynasty. It all started with Hashim Khan, who, at the age of 36, opened Pakistan’s participation in the international arena at the British Open in 1951. Hashim went on to dominate the squash arena by winning seven British Open titles and three North American titles. With Hashim’s success, squash became a “family game” and the Khan dynasty dominated the scene from 1951to1998, producing great players like Roshan Khan, “Shariff the sheriff”, Jahangir Khan and Jansher Khan after Hashim. Many tournaments and finals were dominated by this single family. Jahangir Khan won the British Open 10 consecutive times, a reco...
