For Pakistani Cricketers

on Tuesday 31 August 2010

Some poetry about the pakistani cricketers as quoted on cafe pyala.



Faqeerana aaye, kamaa kar chalay
Mian khush raho, hum tau khaa kar chalay

Ye akhbaar waalay ajab loag hain
Jo sara maza kirkira kar chalay

Jo utray thhe maidaan mein dhoom se
Barri shaan se dum daba kar chalay

Kissi ka bhala iss mein jaata hai kya
Agar ik qadam hum barrha kar chalay

Jo hum ne buzargon se seekha tha kal
Wahi daao hum aazmaa kar chalay

Ye spot-fixing barri cheez hai
Jo cricket ki naao duba kar chalay

Faqeerana aaye, kamaa kar chalay
Mian khush raho, hum tau khaa kar chalay

Champions League Draws

on Friday 27 August 2010

So the champions league draws are out and there are some pretty interesting pools to look out for, Barca and Chelsea have relatively easier pools as Barca has to face greek Panathinaikos and the danish side Copenhagen and Rubin Kazan which are definitely easier sides when we look at the big spending Barca .
 Chelsea will face the french side Marseille and slightly tough Sparta Moscow who on their day could be lethal.
Holders Inter and Rafa will face the super charged Spurs who are in a great form after thumping Young boys and finally reaching the champions league after decades. Fc Twente and the German Werder Bremen are also in the same pool.
Bayern Munich who had a great tournament last year and they had the honor of being registered in my revenge book :) will Face AS Roma and Basel. and in my opinion they can easily qualify from this group and I hope this time the Red Devils teach them some lessons.
My Devils will face Valencia and Rangers, Valencia are on a low after loosing David Villa and Silva and some body will have to step up to fill the gaps. Kingdom mates Rangers can be a bit of problem as both teams have some history when it comes to crucial ties also Rangers' Coach is Fergie's good friend and is ready to take on the challenge.
And the group of Death this time is the one to anticipate where Almighty Real are facing Ajax and and AC Milan. This will be a real test for Mourinho and his big guns as they can not afford to drop the ball yet again at the group / second stage, and If even Mourinho is not able to take them to the glory then the Real President (and may be some one else) should jump from the top of Bernabeu. :)
Arsenal would also be delighted as they will face Braga, Partizan and  Shakhtar Donetsk.

The tablet war

Apple's almighty Ipad has reinvigorated the tablet market for sure but still it hasn't managed to seek the attention of many geeks and business related people, but what they have managed to do is that they have simply acted like a catalyst in the slow developing tablet manufacturing business and now many companies are working on their own versions of tablets / pads including Samsung, HTC, Google, Notion Ink etc. Here are some sneak peaks of these upcoming tablets.
1) Google HTC Chrome tablet.



The rumored specs are that it would be running a multi touch version of chrome OS, with special attention given to web apps like facebook, twitter etc.

2) Rumored Samsung galaxy tablet.

Supposedly Samsung is working on a tablet which looks like samsung galaxy on steroids, it could be running Android, and is rumored to have high res TFT screen and would be 7" in size hmmm sounds good.


3)  Notion Ink ADAM.

This is the one which has intrigued me the most. Adam would be running Android on a Tegra chip. According to SlashGear's sources, there'll be four different models of the Adam. One will use the superior Pixel Qi display, the other an LCD panel. Then, customers will have to decide between Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi and 3G. It also has a swiveling camera on the top.The price range is from 400 to 500 USD, and if it gets the FCC clearance by December than probably it can see the light by January.
