How US (Their TV Series) Sees Pakistan

This is an interesting article on how US sees Pakistan and the furor in Pakistan about it. 

Does Pakistan see itself as a country that will do nothing to abet terrorists? Matter of fact, does USA see itself the same way? Strange.

One Of Those Trivial Online Tests

http://bitecharge.com/play/birthmean

Result!

Supreme Intellect

You are remarkably brilliant. You are very thoughtful and you can solve hard problems without a flinch. Your friends know that you can help them out with the things they consider hard, but sometimes you don't want to be bothered. You focus deeply on the things you consider important in life. But everyone agrees that you are an extremely fascinating person!

A little about the test:

This test is more a personality test and takes the month and approximate date of birth and asks you five or six multiple choice questions.. 

For the question: "Which applies most to you?" choose "I tend to enjoy interesting challenges." For the rest of the questions choose any answer. The result will be what I got...

Not bad, huh? I assume this must have originated from a post in FB.

And of course, don't be misled by the result...

Men Waste Their Time To Feel Proud

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=811661875567993&id=100001725650888&refid=28&_ft_=qid.6081907046235526600%3Amf_story_key.-5668749174989142759&__tn__=%2As

The article seems to have two issues. 

• The author has taken an example of a loose late working man and a very hard working double shift woman, neither of whom is typical.
• A second issue which the author has perhaps not taken into is that late working in office (and the attendant better rewards) do not and need not take into account the woman's double shift (granted that most men don't do much at home) but this is irrelevant while judging a person's performance at work. If your maid doesn't do a good job at home, would you accept it if she said she has an alcoholic husband who doesn't give her money and that she has 4 kids? True, she has a very difficult life much more difficult than most working women have but does it matter? Wouldn't you rather have a maid who is more reliable? Does it matter if the maid works more than you do? 

I am, of course, assuming that most men don't waste time discussing Sachin or other useless things while staying late at work. The same way I am assuming most working women don't have cooks and don't send their kids to tuitions and attend parties. That there is some double shift involved for most (though not all women / housewife).

The life of a working woman is much more difficult than the life of a working man which is much more difficult than the life of a non-working woman (a stay at home woman).

How did the last man know that the General needed glasses (i.e., that he didn't have perfect vision)?

Interesting to know that the most important thing that the general thought he needed in the headquarters staff was maturity and diplomacy in a candidate. Or did he need those primarily because he was too sensitive about his appearance?

On Islam

http://m.thehindu.com/opinion/lead/islam-and-its-interpretations/article6455101.ece/

This is a scholarly article on Islam.

I dont agree with one part of the article. The author indicates that since some muslims feel that way it shouldnt be taken as the thinking of all/most of muslims. I think a majority of muslims share a strong feeling about Islam and the use of violence to justify a subjugation of other religions and religious intolerance.

If this is so, then it's not some few muslims who feel this way. It's some few muslims who are tolerant and that is sad.
