STINGgggg Operation!! The 3 M's


Inspired by my favorite news channel IBN CNN I decided to click some pictures of what's latest in the world of "make more money". Talking about the traffic police department let me tell you they have always lived up to their reputation and always fail to surprise us by coming up with new techniques of 3M's (Make More Money).

So what is this officer in the picture doing to satisfy his MMM ego, well here is the new technique!! He has teamed up with one of the "Pollution Testing" guy's and bring him more customers by stopping vehicles and asking for their pollution certificate, people who do not have it don’t have to pay the fine but have to get the pollution test done right there. So this way we are reducing pollution, the pollution testing guy is making more money and the officer is getting his 3 M's. Good job officer!!

Don’t be surprised if you see these pictures in any of the newspapers one morning, because I am sending these pictures to one of the leading newspapers and hopefully they will publish it.

The invincible MMM urges these people have and the techniques they come up with to Make More Money have been around since forever, do not expect or complaint about it unless you attempt to stop it!

Book Bazaar @ Abids





This is one of the oldest book bazaar I have seen, I did try to find out but couldn't get the actual date or the year. I spoke to Afzal one of the shop owners there he said he has been setting up a book stall there since about 20 years. You will find any book you want here pretty cheap, except hardcore computer scripting books.

Bookworms: this place is highly addictive don’t be greedy or you will end up spending a fortune here!

Water turns Red today! (Ashura)

WARNING!!! The pictures in this area may be sensitive to some viewers. Viewer Discretion is advised.







What is Ashura:
In the month of
Muharram 61 AH (approx. 20 October 680 AD), an event took place in Iraq at a place known as Kerbala on the bank of the river Euphrates.

The leader of the small band of men who were martyred in Kerbala was none other than Husain (A), son of
Ali bin Abi Talib (A) and grandson of the Holy Prophet (S). Who was Husain? He was the son of Fatima (A) for whom the Holy Prophet (S) said, "Husain is from me and I am from Husain. May God love whoever loves Husain." [1]

Ashura.com, Please visit the site to learn more about Ashura.

It was one of those days when I am deeply in touch with the spiritual side of mine! One thing which I miss in my daily routine is my spirituality. I don’t blame anyone but me for not being as religious as I should have been.
