JULY UPDATE: New tabs, Growth etc

I remember starting this blog a 4 months ago and I'd never expect it to grow as it has today. As of 29th July, I'm ranking 1,200,000 in Alexa. *tears of joy*

I was a bit surprised to learn that most of my visitors came from India (40%)and NOT Pakistan (35%). This blog's been a bit of a roller-coaster for me and it was fun blogging during the summer at times when I would have other wise been bored. Though, now my Summer Vacation's coming to close (effective August 2nd) and I won't be able to blog as much as I would like thanks to monthly tests, homework and what-not. But I'll keep it updated when ever there's a story that really 'Grinds my Gears'

I've added  a couple of new tabs like 'Other Kick-Ass Blogs' which as you can tell by it's name will be listing Blogs which I find awesome. And in a couple hours after this post is published I'll be adding a 'My Publications' tab where you can keep track of any of my works published else where. And in the future, I plan on getting something published on the newspaper, for now guest-posts will do. 
 

Got any suggestions? Put them in the comments, dammit!

A Compilation of My Funniest Tweets (July 2012)

For those of you who don't know or are new to this blog, every-month (starting from June) I make a compilation of my funniest tweets of a particular month. 

The tweets are selected 0n the number of re-tweets, mentions I got and the help of some of my friends.

And did I mention it was a pain in the ass manually looking for each and every tweet and than embedding them here?

So. Here goes nothing: 

What's Wrong With Being Brown?

I think we're all aware of India's (and Pakistan's) obsession with being fair. Want proof ? 

Let this video do the talking:

And believe me, I've seen even more pompous crap like 
this. Ever seen something soo retarded that you stand there looking all awe-struck? Not sure about you but me, plenty. I mean..what's wrong with being brown? 

Veena Malik's Ramadan Transmission dropped

Glad to know they've finally came to their senses. Though, AFTER getting their much needed publicity.

Hero TV (before this I've never heard of this channel before) decides to drop their transmission of Veena Malik's Ramadan show called "Astaghfaar". 

The promos show us a teary-eyed, over dramatic Veena wearing a modest duppata over her head. In stark contrast from her usual attire.

The people expressed their annoyance through blogs (like this one), twitter, Facebook etc. Sure, turn the Holy Month of Ramadan into a race of ratings. 

Shame on you. 

In Other News: Veena Malik to host an Ramadan TV Show

She couldn't get any more controversial, could she? After the recent nude cover shot for FHM India (or top-less as she would call it). She decides to get all Religious and decides to host a Ramzan show on Hero TV called "Astaghfaar"

Now I know what your thinking " *face palm* Paagal Aurat (Crazy woman)".  But then again, this is VEENA MALIK we are talking about here, she's no stranger to firing mufti's up. 

The Curse Of A South Asian Couch Potato

 
 Note. This is a Guest Post by Adeena Siddiqui. She Blogs and tweets.
 
I gave no interest in Pakistani shows whatsoever and in this post I’m going to tell you just that. Thank you Mirsub for giving me a chance to tell all of you the error of our television industry.

So first off, let’s talk about the horror that is the morning show phenomenon. *dhang dhang dhaaaang*

Not far are the days when somebody just smashes their heads in the TV because of Nida Yasir’s ‘wedding week’ or Shaista Wahidi’s take on Supernatural. I mean, morning shows are about waking up and enjoying a cup of coffee  with your viewers and talking about current affairs and have interesting guests around. I’m sorry but I don’t remember the last time I saw that happen.

Supposed ‘Blasphemer’ Burnt Alive by Angry Mob

When I first heard about this, I was a little taken away. I couldn't believe what I was reading. 

A MENTALLY unstable man was burnt alive by a mob on 4th July in Bhawalpur, Pakistan after being 'accused' of blasphemy.  They poured petrol on him and set him on fire. 

This isn't the Islam/Pakistan I know. If this trend goes on for a few more decades, the few people who still have their sanity would have packed their bags and left years ago as the country heads into deeper turmoil. 

I mean the man was CLEARLY INSANE and everyone was well-aware of his condition and what'd they do?
Burn him alive and beat him mercilessly, of course. 

Are You Addicted to Blogging? (Well, So Am I)

If you're a Blogger, you know what I'm talking about.


Ever felt anxious or paranoid when you haven't made a post in a while? Every thought "Come on dammit, think of something". If you said yes, then you Sir (or ma'am) are a Blogging Addict.


Hell, this very post you're reading kept me thinking all-night. It takes anywhere from a few hours (If I'm planning on posting it today) to a week to write a good post and let's face it. All my posts are good ;)


Wanna know some tell-tale signs of a Blogging Addict?

Colours that 'Define' Us

Who has made it so abundantly clear to human-kind that it is okay to not have boundaries? Who let us become this way? So unclear about anything, so confused and vulnerable.
