Ufone vs Mobilink TV Commercial 1 Minute Package

Talal Masood — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 22:44:18 +0000

Ufone on-aired a TV Commercial of their new package “Minute Per Minute Free Offer” in which the characters are standing on a railway station, and villain is trying to kill the heroine. Everyone found out that commercial to be hilarious and laughed on it a lot. But just after few days, Mobilink strikes back with their new package on Jazz Octane “Jazz Bemisaal Ramdan Offer – 1 Minute Per 1 Ghanta”. Mobilink taunted the TV commercial of Ufone with the similar setup in which two guys are sitting on a railway station and laughs on the people who are busy watching the Ufone commerical of Minute Per Minute and tells them the Mobilink Offer. Watch both these commercial and decide yourself, which one is funnier?

Highest Road in The World – Karakoram Highway

Talal Masood — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 19:37:11 +0000

Karakoram Highway which connects Pakistan with China is known as the highest international paved road in world and is also reffered to as the “Ninth Wonder of the World”. Karakoram Highway is closed since January 2010 because of the massive landslidings of 15km in Hunza. Karakoram Highway took over 25 years (1959 to 1986) in construction and around 810 Pakistani and 82 Chinese constructors died during the construction. Karakoram Highway also known as Silk Road connects Gilgit-Baltistan of Pakistan area with Xinjiang, China.

According to the artile of Wikipedia:

The Pakistani section of the highway is 806 km long. It starts from Abbottabad (though N-35 of which KKH is now a part, officially starts from Hassanabdal). The highway meets the Indus River at Thakot, and continues along the river until Bunji, where the Gilgit River joins the Indus River. This is the place where three great mountain ranges meet, the Hindukush, the Himalaya and the Karakoram. The western end of the Himalayas, marked by the 9th highest peak in the world, Nanga Parbat can be seen from the highway. The highway passes through the capital of the Gilgit-Baltistan, Gilgit, and continues to the beautiful valleys of Nagar and Hunza, along the Hunza River. Many of the highest mountains, lakes and glaciers in the Karakoram can be directly seen from the highway in this section. Finally, the highway meets the Pakistan-China border at Khunjerab Pass.

The Chinese Section of the Karakoram Highway follows the north-south Sarykol (‘Yellow Lake’) valley just west of the Tarim Basin, which is barely visible in the satellite image at left. The road from Kashgar goes southwest about 80 km and then turns west to enter the Gez (Ghez) River canyon between Chakragil mountain on the north and Kongur mountain on the south. From the Gez canyon the population becomes Kirgiz. Having climbed up to the valley, the road turns south past Kongur, Karakul Lake and Muztagh Ata on the east. Below Muztagh Ata a new road goes west over the Kulma Pass to join the Pamir Highway in Gorno-Badakhshan, Tajikistan. The main road continues over a low pass (where the population becomes Tajik) and descends to Tashkurgan. Further south a valley and jeep track leads west towards the Wakhjir Pass to the Wakhan Corridor. Next the road turns west to a checkpost and small settlement at Pirali, and then the Khunjerab Pass, beyond which is Pakistan, the Khunjerab River and Hunza. (In 747 Gao Xianzhi, a Tang general crossed the Broghol Pass into what is now Pakistan – the furthest Chinese penetration in this direction. He was later defeated at the Battle of Talas, and the Chinese withdrew from the region.)

talal.pk my new domain

Just to show my identity of Pakistan, I purchased this domain. Where ever I go, where ever I live, I am a proud Pakistani and I will always be identified by that.

Pakistan Youth Revolution, Go Green Pakistan and Me

Talal Masood — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 07:34:44 +0000

Pakistan is my soul, Pakistan is my life, Pakistan is my world. I am a Pakistani and I am proud to be one. Where ever I’ll go in this world, I will be recognized with my identity and my identity is the name of the nation to which I belong too. In August 2009, Farhan Masood and I started an online campaign called “Go Green Pakistan” which took a strange turn in the online community of Pakistan. The patriotism that we were losing in our busy life, started to return back. Oh, by the way Farhan Masood is not my blood related brother. Our last names matched by coincidence

Beside Go Green I joined a group called “Pakistan Youth Revolution” (PYR) started by Muhammad Jahanzaib Khan, a youth community which started gathering people online who wants to do something for Pakistan. First of all, I would like to clearly mention that PYR is not a political organization nor it’s some kind of NGO. PYR is only a group of people who wants to put the positive impact of Pakistan on the map of this world. Daily we hear some strange news about Pakistan which creates a negative image of Pakistan, but no one is looking at the positive things happening in the country. I would only say, Pakistan is the land of opportunities. Yes, but only if you love your motherland and stop expecting things back from her. Isn’t it more than enough that Pakistan gave us space to live an independent and free life?

Many people contradicted and criticized us, and I became the target of many strange words from people I thought who are Pakistani. The first thing we heard was “You did all this to become famous” and then about Go Green Campaign some people said “GGP is collecting photos of people to misuse them“. I have nothing to say in return to them, because my Allah knows the purity of my heart better than people. About fame, I or anyone else who is the part of PYR or GGP are not looking for fame. If we appear on any TV Channel, it is only to deliver our message to those people who are just hearing bad news about Pakistan all day long. We want to deliver our message to Pakistan and the whole world. If you have any other better idea then tell us. Now I’m sure, everyone will get quite because there is no other medium to reach the 13 crore people of Pakistan and tell them that there are many young people in Pakistan who wants to work for their land and has a message of LOVE & PEACE.

One last thing that I would like to request to all the Pakistani people is to stop sharing bad news and videos of our country in online social network communities like facebook, orkut, myspace, etc. and also stop criticizing the happenings in Pakistan. Online community made this world a global village, but by writing such negative blogs about Pakistan puts a 10 times more negative image on the world as compared to a simple TV News. In my next article, I’ll write about “How online blogging community is powerful than electronic media” which will help you understand what I said in a better way.

Pakistan’s Real Heroes – The Rescue Teams

Talal Masood — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 20:55:56 +0000

Today on Chand Raat (21st September 2009) at around 1:45am in the night, I saw an accident on Wahdat Road, Near Multan Road Chungi - Lahore. A Suzuki Mehran was turned upside down. The two guys in the car received minor injuries and were walking again within few minutes. I don’t know what and how the accident happened. The time I reached there, the Rescue 1122 ambulance came there.

The people around that place who saw the accident called the emergency rescue 1122 and also rushed towards the car, turned it up and pulled out both the teenager from the car. I had my camera mobile with me and took the pictures of the real heroes of Pakistan. Yes! The people of Pakistan, and the Rescue teams are the real heroes of day to day life in Pakistan. Tomorrow is Eid in our country, the families are out there in the markets for shopping. Family members want their dads and brothers to go with them to shops, but these rescue team men are still on their duties. No matter its Eid, any off-day, Saturday or Sunday; these teams are 24/7 at their work. Leaving their families alone at home, these people work for others. Hats off to these real super heroes of Pakistan who work on daily basis to help the victims and people of our country.

Pakistan Prime Minister Liaquat Ali Khan History

Talal Masood — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 05:36:52 +0000

A talk show called “Kal Tak” on Express News hosted by Javaid Chaudhary is one of the most unique and beautiful show. The best part of the show is that Javaid starts and ends the show with a very informative detail of something usually from the history of the world. Few months back he hosted a show and gave a sort of tribute and details on a former prime minister of Pakistan, Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan. On 16th October 1951 Liaquat Ali Khan was assassinated in Rawalpindi during his public meeting. Let me share the video with you people so that you can know why he was liked by our nation.

Pakistani Actress Meera Wedding Scandal Videos

Talal Masood — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 22:32:08 +0000

A weeks back, Pakistan was struck with a shocking news about the Lollywood actress Meera that she was married to some guy named Attiq ur Rehman secretly. The news came in when Attiq ur Rehman came home from an international tour and tried to enter his own home, when the new security guards appointed by Meera didn’t let in. Then police was called on about all the issue and the things went from bad to worst. The following video clip by City42 channel exposed everything including the Photos taken on Meera’s wedding Attiq. I wonder that even after the photos are being shown to the whole Pakistan, how come Meera called an emergency press conference and denied all that?

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

God knows the real story, but Meera is missing from her home and no one knows where she is hiding. She has gone underground somewhere, hiding from the world. Attiq cleverly recorded a phone conversation with Meera and then even exposed the email conversation with Meera over their blackberry mobile phones. According to the some news sources Meera left Pakistan without even telling her parents and went straight to Indian director Mahesh Bhatt knocking at his home in the night around 1:30am. Mahesh Bhutt even didn’t let Meera inside and asked her to leave.

You can hear the conversation between Meera and Atiq too ..!!

Go Green Pakistan campaign hits media – Geo News

Talal Masood — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:08:06 +0000

Farhan Masood (http://facebook.com/farhan.masood) started the Go Green Pakistan campaign at the start of August 2009. He started created custom display pictures for his friends and designed a green background image with the Pakistani flag on the display picture. He started manually editing the photos using Adobe Photoshop. Then Talal Masood (http://facebook.com/taalz) was the second person to join hands with Farhan and started this campaign on a bigger scale. Within just 5 days we made over 500 DPs. And within these 2 weeks time we created 9000+ Display pictures for the people all over Pakistan and even Non-Pakistani people for their facebook and twitter profiles. Within a little time, more volunteers started to flow in and it became a very huge campaign. The volunteers were not just from Pakistan, they were from all over the world.

There were some graphic designers which actually edited the pictures which people were sending in. On the other hand there were some promotors who were promoting this campaign. So it just came up with something strange that even those people who does not have any idea about editing they somehow stepped in and wanted to be the part of this moment.

Purpose of Go Green Pakistan: was to establish the unity, love and faith back in the younger generation of Pakistan. No one on the media and around the world is showing the positive points of our country, so by this campaign those people who somehow stopped loving Pakistan are back on the track. We gave them a new hope in this era of technology through technology and gave them an opportunity to show their love for Pakistan in a nice and unique way.

People send us their pictures from a basic form which Alam (alzeee) created on http://pakiology.com/go-green. Users simply fill out the form there with their photo. We receive their photos at our end and someone from our whole team, whoever is online at that time edits the picture and send them back.

Initially Farhan Masood started the Go Green Pakistan campaign at the start of August 2009. He started created custom display pictures for his friends and designed a green background image with the Pakistani flag (moon and star) on the display picture. This work is done by manually editing the photos using Adobe Photoshop. Then Talal Masood was the second person to join hands with Farhan and started this campaign on a bigger scale. Within just 5 days we made over 500 DPs and just after 2 weeks time (till 14th August, 2009) we created over 9000 display pictures, for the people all over Pakistan and even Non-Pakistanis for their facebook and twitter profiles. More volunteers started to flow in by that time and the very little thing became a huge thing and even the media couldn’t resist us.

[There is a video that cannot be displayed in this feed. Visit the blog entry to see the video.]

On 13th August, 2009 – GEO News broadcasted the Interview of Farhan Masood (@farhanmasood) and Talal Masood (@tAALz), thanks to Maria Memon for making the report on us. (by the way don’t get confused, its just a coincidence that Farhan’s and Mine’s last name are same. Oh but we are Pakistanis so we are brothers.) Within these last 2 weeks, the whole Go Green Pakistan team made Facebook and Twitter entierly Green. Everywhere there was Pakistan’s flag and those who never cared were even forced by their inner being to become patriot and put the Go Green Pakistan display picture of themselves. The volunteers team is of two types, one who actually edited the pictures and the others are who promoted the Go Green Pakistan campaign in different ways.

Purpose of Go Green Pakistan was to establish the unity, love and faith back in the younger generation of Pakistan. No one on the media and around the world is showing the positive points of our country, so by this campaign those people who somehow stopped loving Pakistan are back on the track. We gave them a new hope in this era of technology, through technology and gave them an opportunity to show their love for Pakistan in a nice and unique way. On average 10% of Pakistan’s total population is now Online and using Internet, so this was our one step to make all those people love Pakistan who somehow just got stuck infront of the computer screens and are too lazy to do something to show their love for Pakistan.

People send us their pictures via a website called Pakiology donated to us by Alam (@alzeee). Users simply fill out the form with their photo and we receive them at our end. Then someone from our whole team, whoever is online at that time edits the picture and send them back to them through email.

Following is the list of all the Volunteers who participated in this campaign. Farhan and I; both are very much honored and thankful to all this team, because without them we just two were nothing.

How many NEWS Channel we need?

Talal Masood — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 13:02:55 +0000

As you all know I’m from Pakistan so I would like to have a little discussion about the Pakistani TV Channels. After the millennium (year 2000) the government started allowing private companies to open TV channels on a very nominal licensing fee. Before year 2000 there were only 3 TV Channels working in Pakistan namely, PTV, NTM (aka STN) and PTV 2. There was no concept of Cable TV system and the TV Channels were broadcast over the wireless wavelength signals which were caught by the TV Aerials (Antennas). As soon as the Nawaz Sharif government got over in 1999 the new CEO of Pakistan, Gerenal Pervaiz Musharraf started giving licenses to private companies to open new TV Channel.

The cable system was introduced and the avalanche of TV channels started. I can bet even in USA which is the first world country people don’t get that many channels which we Pakistanis get. There are over 80 Channels now on regular given by every TV Cable Operator (excluding Indian TV Channels). Some TV Cable Operators also give Indian and other nasty TV channels so on average there are 90+ TV channels in each home of Pakistan. And the most amazing thing which I am going to tell you now is, there are 115 Pakistani TV Channels on air. Some of the TV Channels are local area based channels like City42 which is only broadcasted in the city of Lahore. Out of these 115 TV Channels 25 channels are NEWS Channel.

Come on people! Pakistan’s population is around 170million estimated in year 2008. Out of these 170million about 120million are TV viewers. I just have one mysterious question to ask from the government. What are you showing to these 120million people of Pakistan? Believe me! in 90% of the home across Pakistan people don’t watch entertainment channels anymore. A daily on average 12hours to 14hours viewership is of the NEWS channels. The people of Pakistan were already depressed since last 60 years and now we found a real good mass communication platform to haunt the terror among the countrymen.

Geo News, City 42, Apna News, Business Plus, Channel 5, PTV, Express News, Express 24/7, Din News, Royal News, Dawn News, KTN News, Duniya News, CNBC Pakistan, Khyber News, Samaa TV, Singh TV News, iTV News, Waqat News are the ones I could remember and list right now. A friend of mine studying Mass Communication told me that there are 52 pending channels which are in the process and the license has been granted to them. Out of those upcoming 52 TV Channels 27 are NEW Channels. I can just say “HOLY SHIT”. Don’t we have anything else to do? Can’t you people put up some other kind of TV Channels? Who the hell you want to show all these news? A 120million TV viewers with 75 Damn NEW TV Channels. Does this make any sense? Pakistan’s younger generation is getting polluted mentally with a hatred for their own country just because of these News channels. 24/7 all the news channel are putting Talk Shows criticizing on everything they get their hands on including politics, daily life, men, women, children, education system, blah blah blah. Stop Talking – You are not motivating the public instead you are demotivating them.
