Hey there guys, sorry for not posting again after some time. Blogging been taking a bit of a back-seat for me lately. Started making music again (After almost year, due to school).
Anyways, back to topic. The past few weeks for Pakistan have been volatile to say the least. Another MQM official shot dead in Karachi, and Tahir Ul Qadri; a Pakistani-Canadian Sufi Scholar turned Politician/Messiah is taking the centre stage.
His call for a "million-man march" in favour of reforms and against corruption has propelled cleric Tahir-ul-Qadri to the status as the champion of Pakistan's middle class. Although the protest in Islamabad will achieve little, it casts a spotlight on the population's growing displeasure and it's dwindling faith in Pakistan's mainstream political parties. His liberal views, his open condemnation of terrorism does have my support; though not sure on his motivation for suddenly returning to Pakistan. If he is what he says he is, then he might just turn things around or be another let-down.
Hey guys, I've been taking a long break.This blog will be back on track soon. I've noticed the Alexa rank for this blog has went up, which is bad. Hopefully I'll get everything sorted out. Pakistan's been in a bit of a turmoil these past weeks and I really wanted to blog on that. But meh, don't blame me I was vacation.
I was gonna write more for this post but I need to start researching for a MUN (Model United Nations). To be more specific, I'm taking part in MUNIK 2013 held at IBA university in Karachi. Wish my delegation luck!
This is Mirsub Ali Fazlani signing (or should I say blogging) out!
A lot of things have happened this year. This blog which I started for fun turned out to be bigger success I thought it would be, survived the possible end-of-the-world (and not to mention those grueling exams at the middle and end of every year).
There was joy, turmoil, boredom and long nights (blame it on insomnia and the ole' coffee) and then more turmoil but this year has a been an eye-opener to say the least. Though, school's been a bit of a pain in the arse, it has it's moments. After being stagnant for months on end, I'm back on Youtube. I've also started writing a book entitled 'The Chronicles of an Insomniac Pakistani Teenager'. Yes, I know that titles quite a mouthful.
After all this, all I can say is I hope next year is even more wonderful then this year. And to all those reading, an (early) happy new year! Since I'll be busy celebrating ;)
Facebook is the world's most commonly used social networking site, boasting over one billion regular users. Twitter is becoming increasingly popular as well. These networking sites are by far different than the primitive MySpace and Friendster that used to be popular among teenagers and young adults in the early 2000s. Today we'll discuss how these new and improved social networking sites can actually have drastic impact on our society.
The Arab Spring
In the spring of 2011, many countries in the Middle East had dramatic revolutions and government changes. The citizens in these countries came together in mass numbers and demanded changes. Facebook and other social networking sites played a role in the organization of these gatherings by spreading the word to as many people as possible. Unfortunately, when the governments discovered what they were doing, they took away access to Facebook or to the Internet altogether.
