Semi-Final, the final straw

Pakistan lost. It is unhealthy to blame someone for the lack of an entire team's performance, but we also know that had it not been for one individual we would not have spent 2 hours begging for a six. When the six finally came nobody cared, not even the bowlers. Even they went "Oh a six! how cute, here's another one, try for more distance this time". It's like Misbah interpreted every delivery as an interference in his Yoga routine and simply shooed the ball away anytime it got close.

The story of the Sun

Once upon a time there was the Sun, proud little thing that.

Used to shine really bright and was all in everyone's face about it on how it was so cool that people couldn't even get up if it weren't for him. The people appreciated this very much and some even started worshipping it.

This didn't sit well with God and he invented teenagers, he was all "You go ahead and be shiny, these critters won't even be awake long enough to take you seriously" and the Sun went "but I provide vitamins and allow for the secretion of melanin and whatnot, they need energy to function"and then God said "You'd think that...but no, they're teenagers, they can stay up 5 days in a row and will still have enough energy left over to go "NYAH NYAH" in your face before falling asleep only to wake up once you've gone. Take that stupid Sun.

The Sun was all pissed and soon children that was how global warming started...which was also put to shame with an impending ice age. The Sun sits quietly now, you don't mess with pros Sun.

I'm busy with work these days so you guys won't get much in the ways of comics, but soon enough I'll have a new domain up and running and it'll be cool, i'll have movie reviews (short short short ones) and all the ringtones I've used (and am using), sort of like a 90's website. Here's hoping I do it someday before I die, because I hear it's hard to post stuff when you're dead.

No Comic Today Just Text

I used to be good at this whole writing thing, used to get people’s attention like I was talking to them. Now that I think about it, I think I know where I lost the will to continue. That happens when you remove 220 megabytes of conversations from your inbox at some point in your life.

Robin Williams states that in order to be funny you need to show your weaknesses, mine is that I can no longer type bodies of text longer than 2 paragraphs. If it’s work I could probably push it up to 3 paragraphs.

So now that my vulnerability is exposed, I just drank what must have been a whole liter of mountain dew and that was (even I’ll admit) over-dewing it.

Anyway, we’re reviewing a few things about how things are going to be done around here and every revision wreaks havoc on our schedules.

For example, right now I wish to complete an article I’ve been working on for a month. I can’t right now since I’ve switched to Windows Live Writer. While we’re on that subject, all hail the Microsoft. This thing can’t import a draft if…I dunno, you think of some clever analogy and let me know, I’ll put that here.

Ahanyway, I thought it is high time the public got to know what’s been up. www.google.com (my way of saying “you figure it out”) and on that note, I will see you all when I finally finish that little entry for what I feel will the first of many. Also, I’m thinking of getting started on writing a book (. So by the age of 45 I might actually have published something worth reading (or making a quick buck off of).

I leave you with a parting thought. Everyone has a story to tell, every story has a tragedy, the funnier the text the greater the tragedy. Thanks Pastry, you were a good friend for when you were, then…not so much. After that I too lost interest. I guess that worked out quite nicely in the end. Watching mythbusters lately? No? It’s fun. So’s top gear.

Cruel jokes

Hey Guys (or joke mongers as Ultay Haath Ki calls you), Timi here and this is when a Donkey decides to travel 900 kilometers to make a donkey feel like an ass...

(EDIT: He did try to confirm the distance between here and Kalaam before he quoted the 900, we here at Ultay Haath Ki refuse to acknowledge having any information about geographical distances, that's what maps are for)

Stating the obvious

I think it's time to go more topical than to just go with the jokes as they roll along. But I must present this one before going right into commenting on wikileaks and stuff. You may find the stick figures an interesting twist, doling out an ultay haath ki to an unfortunate recipient (like life)  but we will not be turning stick figures into a pattern, we're pretty much rehashing memes to the brink of plagiarism as is it, we'll stick to what we've got rolling.

Chrome OS cometh

Looking into the upcoming release of the Chrome OS for which I am as excited as I am weary. Excited because...well, I'm a sucker for tech and weary because...I was just planning my next PC upgrade, we all know what they did to the mobile market with Android and if history is any indicator we are in trouble yet again.  Here's what you can expect from the thingy and following is how I think it will create a technological divide among the masses.

Help stop child abuse but not by acting like one

This is a humor blog where I post to make people's lives just a little easier by showing them a lighter side of things. There comes a time when people don't need to lighten up, instead they need to realize certain follies of their ways. There is a campaign active on Facebook, it requires you to put up cartoons for your display pictures and this (just as the useless ribbon days) will somehow prevent child Abuse.

Today I come to you not with jokes but with a plea. This whole campaign to put up cartoons as display pictures on Facebook is the online version of the nuclear debate, only that it's retarded to an extent that everyone (or everyone I know at least) questions the reasoning that led to this movement. On the one hand we have people who say this will raise awareness which is better than nothing and on the other (myself included) we have people who say this is a useless gesture which does nothing but promote the false satisfaction of contributing without actually doing so.

In Pakistan child abuse isn't just household abuse or children who are victims of war, those aren't even considered issues around here, people who have spent time here, specifically our rejected exports (people who leave the country "for good" but have to come back eventually) will notice the worst form of abused child...the kind begging on the street. 

These are victims of such circumstances that they walk up to every car, every motorcycle bare feet in scorching heat or freezing cold just so they can stretch their arms out to you and hope not for what you think is your precious money but they just want their lives back and their well being assured. What kid can you imagine would go around saying "Allah tujhe Hajj karaye" (May Allah send you to Hajj) In exchange for the loose change people would only part with if it were weighing down their pants? They do so because they have no other choice. They are only children.

Some of them play around while they wait for traffic to cycle along while some of them sit in fear for what the last person did to them for asking more than once. They will ask for food if we're holding any and we'll just shrug it off, thinking they don't deserve anything from our worthy pockets. We are a flawed people and all our gestures however grand in our eyes will mean nothing if we don't look past our own petty lives and see that the world isn't as simple as your social networking website making a statement for you.

These are children who were either kidnapped or were orphans. If you have ever stopped at a traffic light in Pakistan you will see how these kids would want nothing more than release. Perhaps some even retain memories of the lives they had before taking such a turn. I personally fear to even imagine, but I don't have to. 


I've met with families who lost their children to such incidents, their dull expressionless faces still haunt me, wishing their child had died instead and they would not have to imagine what horrors they might be facing. Nobody knows for sure, but we all fear the worst and only the unfortunate few have to live it.

The most common reason to not spend that extra money is lethargy  "What happens if someone undeserving gets my money? What if it's just a scam? I'll just update my picture, because I KNOW what that is doing is raising awareness and awareness is not a scam." There is a saying in Islam (the Hadith is as follows - not a literal translation) Give in the name of Allah regardless of weather someone deserves it or not and Allah will reward you regardless of weather you deserve it or not. But that isn't enough for some.

If you really want to help, donate to someone who you think deserves it. It takes less time googling a worthy recipient than it does finding new ways to keep you ahead in farmville (or mafia wars or World of Warcraft or whatever), if you are interested in actually helping. 


Following are the charities (I know of) that will make sure it goes to someone who deserves it, then you will have earned the right to feel good about changing display pictures. I personally suggest you find a reliable friend in whichever country you wish to help and then go about things through them.

1- SOS Village

2- Saya Trust

3- Edhi Foundation

These are the just the ones I know, this being a blog, I can add any sites that my public shares with me. Those who know me and wish to donate to local orphanages, I can personally arrange for that too. This is a far better way to help a child than to change your display picture to a cartoon and pawn it off on to someone who takes picture to heart. This one is far better (image courtesy SOS Village website).

What applies to three applies to all

We can no longer pretend to be hiding under a rock and talk about only satire and soft humor. There is a cruel cruel world out there. Being Pakis we understand the word cruel like a Lion understands meat (intimately and a little selectively). But that doesn't change how the world sees us and it's our fault too. For which only a handful actually doing something to change this perception, the rest...well...

National Policy vs National Response

I know these political jokes have been done to death but we haven't done any of them not even to hurt slightly. I present to you all what is exactly going on. I'm sleepy right now otherwise I'd have written a rousing article that'd change the course of history, it will have abated by the time I wake up but know that it would have been a humdinger.
Note: It's censored, the whole "taking offense to implication" doesn't apply here.

Talking in song

This post is somewhat an inspiration (note: not a rip-off) from a segment they had in Whose Line is it Anyway? Every now and then (more then than now) I tend to do things like Movie quotes not working in certain circumstances and  Misplaced Emotions in the interest of continuing which I present to you: If people used songs to converse.
