Nobel Peace Prize

European Union wins the 2012 Nobel peace prize? I cant even laugh at the absurdity of  this. I think the image speaks for itself.

Meanwhile, Abdul Sattar Edhi was nominated this year. I dont need to go into details of why he was more deserving of this award. His lifetime work speaks for itself. "No religion is higher than humanity," says Abdul Sattar Edhi, Pakistani Philanthropist, who has dedicated his life to Pakistanis.

Last but not least, the president of United States, Obama, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009: His contribution to the world peace, you might ask? Inherited wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and increased the number drone attacks in Pakistan (estimates by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, which has reported extensively on drone strikes, of 474 to 884 civilian deaths since 2004, including 176 children). Dont believe it? Read the article here.Yes the article is from LA Times and researchers were from Stanford and New York University.

12 Rules for being a Pakistan cricket supporter

1. You will likely suffer from high blood pressure or a heart attack while attending the game or watching it on TV. Have prior arrangements made with the local hospital for your arrival.

2. When the decision for OUT/NOT OUT is pending, it must be defeated by praying. No questions asked.

3. A supporter must scream at least one obscenity (either at the player or at the TV) if something goes wrong. Everybody enjoys a good heckle, whether it’s telling a player how poorly they are playing or something about his mother.

4. If you’re not dressed in a Pakistan cricket jersey, painted green from head-to-toe or not waving or wearing a Pakistani flag it will be your fault if they lose.

5. Have a radio on standby if a power outage is imminent.

6. We are an unpredictable team…never count them out. If Pakistan needs 100 runs to win with 1 wicket remaining, 50% of the time they will win.

7. Opposing teams’ fans should be ignored until after we beat them….that’s when we heckle them out of the ground. In rivalries however , all bets are off. Your rival is the scum of the Earth and you should let him or her know about it.

8. After hitting that clutch six in the final overs of a game, you should proceed to slap everyone’s hand and jump up and down.

9. If we hit a six, four or bowl someone out, let the world know on Twitter and Facebook (and how happy you are).

10. If you see Chacha Cricket in the stands, say hello.

11. If we lose the match, write down all the possible reasons why the match was fixed and who the most likely culprit is.

12. Punch anyone in the kidney who attends to their mobile during the match. No excuses.

A Guide To Punjabi Curses

Punjabis don’t just swear only to offend and insult, we swear to divulge information, communicate ideas and enrich each other’s lives with meaning. We strive to make this world a better place by substituting mundane phrases with colorful curses. The following are just some of the ways in which we accomplish this.

     Ø Ja Pehn Yahvaa: Go away
     Ø Teri Bund PaaR Deyanga: I don’t like you.
