In Karachi most Beatle nut leaves sellers make more money than IT professional


Yup...but that`s Karachi...and Pakiland...When all you export is 40million $ a year, there`s very little to go around... Your other IT professionals make more money than your infotech guys..

behram: i would be interested in learning about your what you find out, though, about the economics of investing in solar energy in pakistan. as the rebuilding work gets underway, this could be one of the things that could be built into the ``model towns`` that shaukat aziz is talking about. hope you will update us on chowk about it.

Re# 204
Tahmat ji,

> all of kashmir is ALREADY ours
So when r u calling them all home ?

> the pakistani people have felt this misery of the kashmiri people as if it was their own
> children who were trapped inside the fallen buildings
Not that its going to change anything on the wrong side of the border .... but u make like to read this.

Also, the scale of devastation was much less then in Pork. So obviously the response was much less.

> many of them showed their subhuman qualities by joking about the widespread deaths
> and misery
subhuman as in
qualities shown by a member of the species H0m0 Islamus ?
Awww , c`mon most of us are just glad that your Allah fingered the Jehadis. Whats wrong with that ? :)
I had been looking for a reason to have beer. I will have one next week, in celebration of the martyrdom of Jihadis :-)

As for the common folks, I m dismayed and heartbroken at the death of the Hindus in Pork.
You get my drift .....

regards,
SN

Ahmed Madani Sahib,
Hope u are keeping a good health.
Your posts always make a mark, sometimes for the wrong reasons!
I don`t agree with anything u say but that is besides the point.

madani sahib,

``My observation is there is no money in high tech or low Tech but real money is in No Tech business``.................... this is probably the smartest thing anybody has said so far on this board - like you say, ``tech is lufangebazi`` ............ most techies, which includes code coolies and help desk engineers, can`t tell their elbow from a hole in the ground without consulting a manual .............

ahmedmadani: hope your health is better now.

on kashmir, while i dont think all of kashmir (i.e. the land) is worth even one single life (pakistani or indian), and we should accept the realities at the LoC and move on.

However, the response of the general publics in india and in pakistan to kashmir indicates that while india may have physical control of half of kashmir, all of kashmir is ALREADY ours. That is, the pakistani people have felt this misery of the kashmiri people as if it was their own children who were trapped inside the fallen buildings. While in india, it was politics as usual.

I read the Hindu newspaper during the earthquake, and all it had to say for several days while kashmiris were suffering was about their precious damned helicopters - while pakistani papers to this day are dominated with talk about the suffering of the earthquake victims. on chowk, while some indian chowkies showed commendable decency, too many of them showed their subhuman qualities by joking about the widespread deaths and misery even as people (their own supposed ``countrymen`` as well) were trapped and dying in kashmir. about these subhumans, the less said the better.

Even the in distant US, the washington post had pictures of earthquake victims on the front page for 3-4 days after the earthquake. even the people of the middle east have demonstrated great humanity - TV telethons in saudi arabia and jordan, vast public fundraising in turkey. but from india and also china it has been basically pro forma government to government transfers of stuff.

behram: i come to chowk to avoid work (or to take a respite from work, as i like to think). :-) so if chowk starts generating work (i.e. getting serious about investing in solar energy in pakistan, as i assume is why you wish to discuss this offline), then i kill the purpose i come to chowk. but let me know if you have any questions on solar energy on chowk, rather than via emails, and i will try to get the answer for you. regards.

Ref ahmedmadani # 193

[What is % of coal produced energy in energy mix of Canada and USA?]

I am sorry I don`t have answer. But you may be able to ggogle your way to answer. The ssociation of electrical utilities probably has some useful statistics for you... sorry, I don`t know exactly what the association is named.

[What are % line losses ? ( How they prevent theft of power?).]

Line losses are well within norms. No one steals electricity because the electric utilities will have the thieves arrested and the legal system is quick and efficient. It is far cheaper to pay for the electricity than pay for the lawyer to defend you in court.

[Is natural gas used big way in energy generation ?]

Yes. Gas turbines are used to generate electricity.

PS. Please give me your e-mail address, mine is harimau1947@hotmail.com. I have the complete collection of a definitive introduction to classical music produced by EMI-Pakistan. It is 19 LP records transferred to CDs. I can ship you a set either from India or from the US.

``You are a freakin moron.``

ahmedmadani sahib has a way of coming back to surprise his critics.

He does have his thousand year war running against Hindus, and other equally charming fetishes, but still....:)

`` Mr.Arjun ``Kashmir`` is not accounting problem of loss and profit like your baniyas.
Founder of Pakistan was nhot fool to start action. Kashmir is important for 100 reasons.
The author you state was former Economic Minister of my country and he did not do good
to country just added debt. You can not use him as extremely bright person or has greaest
insight. He is just failed economic minister and now armchair usa sitting writer nothing
more nothing less. Kashmir struggle has started under leadership of greatest leader of
Pakistan QAMA Jinnah many pakistanis even forget and surely you do not know. !965,1971
and Kargil humilation of of India is all due to Kashmir problem. Without kashmir there will
be no wars and no problems. Long term trends are more favourable to Pakistan than India
on war front. You big fat army number is big but it is divided on your eastern front. That is
China keeps indian army struck up in rarified air. So ratio on your westernfront is 1:1 and
no advantage to India in numbers. Also intelluctuals of India hate india, iIndian educated
men women hate india and are dissatisfied with state of things and they have contempt for
everything in India. Look at writers from India many women like FV, recent few women
articles ( lady who is internationalist went to usa from arab lands, many women are against)
everything in India that is not very good sign. These are educated, foreign educated
intelluctual type women and many men , why they hate India you can tell me.
Also unlike Pakistani military leaders Indian leader /military can not take or start action so
they are always handicapped compared our our supreme leaders. Soon F-16 are coming
70 in numbers and that is big problem for india. Israel useing this planes destroyed 84
migs and varients without any loss. India has got little time to prepare as till usa is staying
in A-stan our generals will not start anything but once they exist this time will be different.
so better watch and give kashmir and get out safely. ``

Yawn !!!

Try getting more than 20 transport helicopters before you try start a war to capture Kashmir.

What is this ``Supreme leaders`` stuff ?

Re: # 187

Sir, I disagree, education leaves you crippled and you just look for safe job.

Most of time more you study more you become foolish and lazy for 99.995% people.

My observation is there is no money in high tech or low Tech but real money is in No Tech

business. In Karachi most Beatle nut leaves sellers make more money than IT professional

high Tech Person - IT person working in Karachi and he is not stressed like in IT tension

cubicles.
