    South Africa's Wayne Parnell converts to Islam

    You people getting all koila here won't understand. Rather you cannot understand. It is a Muslim thing to express happiness when a person accepts Islam, a sort of spiritual happiness (that u'll probably never experience). Now if you don't like our celebrations too bad, we don't give a damn. 8-)

    Shamsi Air Base under UAE control: Air Chief

    Shamsi was (it was actually a disused WWII recovery field IIRC) built by UAE to facilitate the royals whenever they came for hunting just like the airfield at Rahim Yar Khan(or was it DG Khan?).

    Famous Pakistani Stage Actor ‘Mastana’ Died in Bahawalpur

    RIP Mastanay. All the people who are against stage actors, ought to know that Mastana belonged to a cadre of actors who rarely (if ever) resorted to vulgarity in their performances. People of his ilk like Baboo Baral, Waseem Ahmad, Irfan khoosat etc have already left the industry. Suhail Ahmad...
