To My Friends Who Are...........SINGLE

 

Love is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you.  But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it.  Love can make you happy but often it hurts, but love's only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it. So take your time and choose the best.

 

To My Friends Who Are...........NOT SO SINGLE

 

Love isn't about becoming somebody else's "perfect person." It's about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.

 

 

To My Friends Who Are............PLAYBOY/GIRL TYPE

 

Never say "I love you" if you don't care. Never talk

about feelings if they aren't there. Never touch a life

if you mean to break a heart .  Never look in the

eye when all you do is lie. The cruelest thing a

guy can do to a girl is to let her fall in love when

he doesn't intend to catch her fall and it works both

ways...

To My Friends Who are..........MARRIED

 

Love is not about "it's your fault", but "I'm sorry." Not "where are you", but "I'm right here." Not "how could you", but "I understand." Not "I wish you were", but "I'm thankful you are."

 

To My Friends Who Are............ENGAGED

 

The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together but how good you are for each other.

 

 

To My Friends Who Are............HEARTBROKEN

 

Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to go. The challenge is not how to survive heartbreaks but to learn from them.

 

To My Friends Who Are.........NAIVE

 

How to be in love: Be able but don't

 stumble, be consistent but not

  too persistent, share and never be

 unfair, understand and try not to

demand, and get hurt but never keep the pain.

 

 

 To My Friends Who Are............POSSESSIVE

 

It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy

with someone else but it's more painful to know

that the one you love is unhappy with you.

 

 

 To My Friends Who Are…….AFRAID TO CONFESS

 

   Love hurts when you break up with someone.

   It hurts even more when someone breaks up

    with you. But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.

 

 

To My Friends Who Are............STILL HOLDING ON

 

A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it. If he isn't worth it now he's not going to be worth it a year or 10 years from now. Let go.....

 

TO ALL MY FRIENDS.......

 

My wish for you is a man/woman whose love is honest, strong, mature, never-changing, uplifting, protective, encouraging, rewarding and unselfish.

 

  

 

I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN LOVE AND LIFE.

STAY WELL & BE BLESSED.

"Beautifully Stated"

Subject:  "Beautifully stated"

Hi Friends!

  • As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
  • You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.
  • You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
  • You'll fight with your best friend.
  • You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
  • You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
  • So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
  • Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

 

Have a great weekend :-)

Releases fact sheet on ‘atrocities against humanity’ in Balochistan


 


ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Mohammad Ali Durrani said on Sunday that Akbar Bugti, killed in the Kohlu incident, changed his political path to open confrontation against national interests and the opposition should desist from playing politics over his body for its vested interests.

“During the last six months, Bugti changed his trend of politics to open confrontation ... the government tried its best to resolve the issues through dialogue,” Durrani told journalists here.

Durrani also released a “fact sheet” containing atrocities against humanity in Balochistan committed by three prominent chieftains “having an outlook of terrorists”. The fact sheet is so comprehensive and contains details of crimes allegedly committed by Akbar Bugti, Khair Bakhsh Marri and Attaullah Mengal that “it is unchallengeable”. These include human rights violations, murder of 60 persons since 1992, sabotage activities, landmine incidents, terrorist activities against law enforcement agencies, anti-development activities, activities of the defunct Balochistan Liberation Organisation, and what not.

Durrani said there were no anti-Pakistan political moves in Balochistan or elsewhere but influx of arms via Afghanistan through establishment of Indian consulates etc was creating problems and helping terrorists to disturb law and order.

Addressing the opposition, he said they should see the ground realities as no politics or negative trends against Pakistan would be acceptable. “We welcome any criticism with open mind, but no one will be allowed to harm Pakistan and its interests,” he added.

The minister said Akbar Bugti left the Centre, during Nawaz Sharif’s time, and was taken to task during Benazir Bhutto’s government. He said even the MMA leader Liaquat Baloch complained during an election that a Jamaat candidate in Dera Bugti was killed by Bugti. Majority of those now supporting Bugti were against him or were subjected to humiliation or stopped from political activities by Bugti in the past.

He alleged that Bugti even ousted his own tribesmen from their lands and forced them to take shelter in other provinces. Now these people have returned to their places and there is no sympathizer for Bugti in the district. “No point scoring,” said Durrani, while referring to activities of the opposition leaders, adding, “They are trying to exploit the Kohlu incident, which is unfortunate and against the national interests”.

The people of Pakistan, he said, never accepted any politics based on anti-state notions. “Flow of narcotics, armaments and money to Pakistan from Afghanistan is a hard fact known to all.” The government, he said, knows against whom it is being used. Bridges, pylons, railway tracks and gas pipelines were blown up and innocent people killed, he said and added that the writ of the government was challenged.

In Balochistan, he said, some elements were using weapons to stop even the process of development. They have no backing of the people of the province as they never won significant seats in elections, he added.

He, however, maintained that the development process of building dams, roads, ports, canals and other mega projects to bring about socio-economic development for the people of this province would continue unabated.

“The government also wants to give a sense of respect and participation to Baloch youth,” he added. He raised important questions as to who took action in Balochistan in the 1970s, adding the kind of actions taken by Benazir and Nawaz governments in their tenures are known to everybody. “Akbar Bugti stopped coming to Islamabad in Nawaz Sharif’s government,” he said.

He said facts are being shared with the public but national security cannot be compromised. The opposition is trying to play politics by setting negative trends. The opposition moved a no-confidence motion against the government, which was responded effectively, he added. But blowing the petty issues out of proportion cannot be justified, he said.

Durrani said the opposition should have played its role in bringing back Akbar Bugti to the mainstream politics, but it did not do so. The minister said it is not only the responsibility of the government but also of every Pakistani to build this country and ensure its national cohesion. All those elements and political parties, which are involved in negative politics, will ultimately have to come back as they cannot face the people, he added.

He said the armed forces of Pakistan have ensured security of Pakistan and they had offered sacrifices in every hour of need. The nation has witnessed them working in the earthquake-hit areas where they worked relentlessly. He said their sacrifices couldn’t be ignored which they offered for the security of the country. It is our duty to remember them, he added.

Responding to a question, he said the people of Pakistan and all the four provinces are integrated with each other culturally, socially, economically and linguistically and their interests are linked with each other. Any attempt to sow the seeds of discord among them cannot succeed, Durrani said.

Nawab Akbar Khan Bugti's death


Pakistan ideal place for investment: Musharraf

ISLAMABAD: President General Pervez Musharraf on Thursday said that Pakistan has an ideal environment for investment and it was right time for foreign investors to invest in the country.



"We have opened up all sectors for foreign investor providing ideal environment for investment," President Musharraf said while addressing foundation stone laying ceremony of $350 million project, "The Centaurus" which besides a seven-star hotel would also include three towers of residential and office apartments and a shopping mall.

The Pak Gulf Construction (Pvt) Ltd (PGCL) Company, a joint venture of Sardar Builders of Pakistan and Al Tamimi Group of Saudi Arabia, is executing the project. Musharraf said Pakistan was pursuing a liberal foreign exchange regime with no limitation on remittances and provides a level playing field for foreign and local investors. "The environment in Pakistan is changing with liberal policies of the government," he said.

The president while inviting more foreign companies to invest in the country said already 700 foreign companies were functioning in the country. "Pakistan offers highest rate of profit as these companies are getting 20 to 60 per cent profit," Musharraf said.

He said the high rate of profit being received by foreign companies was due to the large demand-supply gap and a large population backed by an educated and highly skilled workforce.

The president said that greater investment in Pakistan was also helping the country fight extremism and terrorism as these stem from poverty, lack of education and economic opportunities. "We are also thankful to investor of this project in fighting the extremism and terrorism by investing in Pakistan," he said.

President Musharraf inviting investors from across the world to Pakistan said it was the right time to invest in Pakistan, adding the economic environment and policies would be sustained. He said Pakistan's geo-strategic location makes it a hub for all economic activity in the region. "We want to sustain upsurge of Pakistan economy," he said.

The president said the scourge of red-tapism and bureaucratic delays were being done away with. "We are going to clear all the bottlenecks," he said. President Musharraf said the policies of de-regulation; liberalization and privatisation have helped bring in more foreign direct investment.

He said whatever was happening in Pakistan was being done in the interest of the nation. "Whether it is relations with some country, diplomatic ties or our attitude towards investment, it is being done in Pakistan's national interest."

Welcoming investment by Al Tamimi Group of Saudi Arabia in the project, Musharraf said the brotherly relations between the two countries would further strengthen with this huge investment.

Musharraf said the government wanted to bring life in Islamabad and for this purpose a number of projects were in progress. He said the heritage museum located near Lok Virsa is one of the international standard such places in the world while the project of national monument at Shakarparian would be inaugurated on December 25. "It will also house a museum putting on display artefacts of Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Mohammad Iqbal," he said.

Interior Minister Aftab Ahmed Sherpao said the government has undertaken several projects in the federal capital and in three years time, 1000 five-star hotel rooms will be available in the city.

He said a number of three-star hotels to cater to all segments of society would be built besides a number of recreational centres for the people. The Chief Executive Officer of the PGCL Sardar Tanveer Ilyas said the structure complies with all building codes of the CDA and could easily sustain an earthquake of 9.5 Richter scale.
