Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi

 I don't believe I didn't really have any post on Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi. I think he is the most decent and of course quite a good looking celebrity of Pakistan. He is also the most popular tennis players of our country.

The best thing is that this guy is really hard working and dedicated to tennis. Also, he knows how to carry himself and talk well.Thus, unlike many other celebrities and players of our country, he actually gives Pakistanis a chance to feel a bit proud. 

Aisam has also done lots of work promote peace through his game. His partner from India and himself promoted "Stop War Start Tennis" while playing and this was something that has been recognized by all communities and people from around the world.

In Pakistan, tennis is never really the highlight such as cricket. The passion for cricket makes the whole nation mad and absolutely crazy. Though Aisam ul Haq has been actively playing for a long time now, he was only very recently recognized after he gave a memorable speech at US Open Finals. It was like one fine day they realized they had a tennis star and so for a few weeks there was hardly any channel that didn't talk about him. Now, the fever is all down.  But he remains a star for his fans forever.

Eid Mubarak!

Wishing all my Muslim friends and all the Muslims around the world a very happy and peaceful Eid. Hope the Eid will bring joys and bless your lives. More importantly, I pray in these times, that we all stay safe.

Like always Ramzan went by so quickly. I cherished it spiritually but our realities tell us to be in misery, fear and sadness. I hope that the people who lost their loved ones in the plane crash have more courage to move on in life in the least painful way, if there is ever a less painful way. Miss my friend Ali a lot and I hope his wife Kiran and son Rayyan will make it through strongly.

It was in this Ramzan, that the world saw how two innocent brothers were brutally beaten to death while barbarians made videos of their misery. Hope their family will find justice as they wished. Their pain is unbearable to imagine. But our prayers are with the family.

And then the losses of the man made floods...though people in general have done a lot to make a difference. One mistake in Pakistan only breeds to more. We do not know what it will bring ahead.

This month, however, our tennis player Aisam did quite well internationally and Pakistanis realized this is the new sport to go crazy about, and thus facebook status updates are now updated in the same peculiar fashion :P although he was there for many years and has improved with time. He qualified in the finals of both mixed doubles and mens doubles with his partners of the US Open championship. Brings us pride. His speech was peaceful and honest.
