You heard the lady, apparently we are Pakistan’s largest Tea house (Chaai Khana). Now thats a compliment eh? ;)

Bits and Bytes is a Technology program produced by Samaa Television. If you’re wondering what’s going on with Information Technology  in Pakistan, Bits and Bytes is the program you need to be watching. And if I am not wrong among hundreds of Pakistani Channels Bits and Bytes is only program that exclusively covers IT industry in the country.

There is a little funny story behind this video as well. For those who don’t know this Bits and Bytes episode went on air last week and  none of the Teabreak team member had a clue that our site will be featured on it. So we were totally taken by surprise. And boy was it a good one.

It all started when the Reds (Russians) attacked Afghanistan in 1979. A military dictator by the Name Zia Ul Haq was ruling Pakistan. And as good Muslims we opened our arms and borders to the Afghans under the Russian oppression. And along came the dark era of “West” supported Radicalism, Kalashnikov culture and loads of drugs. People say never heard of any of these items before the Afghan war.

 

Despite the drugs and arms that Afghans brought to our country in exchange of our hospitality the worst thing that happened to Pakistan in the 80’s was Zia. He imposed his version of Islam on the country that was not very different from the Islam which the Taliban and Al Qaeda are trying enforce. Sectarian violence in the country is another gift of Zia to the country.

 

 

History Of Lal Mosque:

 

Coming to Lal Masjid, it was founded by Maulana Qari Abdullah in 1965. Lal Masjid was frequently visited by Pakistani officials including military leaders and ministers of the government through out. The mosque is located near the headquarters of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, After the Soviet war in Afghanistan ended in 1989, and the mosque continued to function as a center for radical Islamic learning and housed several thousand male and female students in adjacent seminaries.

 

 

Pakistani President, General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq was also very close to Maulana Qari Abdullah and according to Aijaz son of the dictator their friendship goes a long way back. Maybe that’s one of the reasons that when Maulana Aziz was caught red handed with a car which was full of illegal weapons and ammos he was allowed to let go and that was in 2003.

 

So when did we hear about them?

 

The conflict started when the female students of the mosque illegally occupied the Childeren Library and then we all saw how they expanded their radicalism through militancy and all was done in the name of the religion. All that was happening under the nose of Musharraf and military in the heart of Capital city and nothing was done while they were gaining power. The main reason of apparent ignorance on Government side was to portray the radical influence in the country and to tell the west that Musahrraf is their only hope in the region.

 

And when the time came, we all witnessed what went around for so many days. And Maulana Aziz who was the engineer of this catastrophe was caught in a very embarrassing manner as he was sneaking out in a (ladies) burqa. He is still alive today but the poor orphans that were brainwashed (by people like him) died in the massacre.

 

Conclusion

 

People blame Musshraf for the killings. But he is not alone to be blamed. The administration of the Mosque and the militants inside it were equally responsible. What happened in the 80’s and what is happening now in North has more than one villain to blame. And the sad part is that everyone is taking God and religion’s name to fulfill their evils.

Yes the answers you get when you ask a not so simple question, and in return you get an answer which is obviously anyhting but the truth. Here are my favorite Top3’s

3) We are just friends

You can witness them glued together. Talk, walk, eat, drink together and when you ask either of the one who also happens to be your friend. You get,”Nah we are just two friends irrespective of gender :P “. Yes that and Musharraf likes to wear lipstick when nobody is watching irrespective of gender :P

2) Iran got WMV’s and its a threat to world peace

The same way that the poor Iraq had WMV’s which were never found? But the troops are still in Iraq and now you are making up the same bullshit story for Iran. How original :P

1) We will restore the Judges, Zardari

Mu Ha Ha Ha! Okay you got me on this one uncle :D

I know the poor Awam (masses) are bunch of idiots but we aint that stoooopid. We know you cant make up your mind with NRO on one side and the American Pressure on the other. So please give up on that story and come up with a better one. Because its hardly been 100 days and we hate you!

Teri Majbooryo se waqif hoo!

Tu nai Pehlay bhi kaii baar mujeh,

Aesay Dekha kai jesay kabhi mujey dekha hee na ho!

Aesay socha tha Kai jesay kabhi socha hee na ho!

Aesay chora tha rah mai aksar tu nai,

Jesay mujh se koi rishta koi naata hee na ho!

Jesay tu nai mujeh, Mai ne tujeh Chaha hee na ho!

———-

Mujh Ko Maloom Nahee, Hijr ke Qatil lamhay

Tu nai kis Aag mai Jal Jal kai Guzaray hongay,

kabhi Lafzo mai thakkan tu ne sameti hogi,

kabhi kaghaz pai faqat ashk utaray hongay,

Yeh bhi mumkin hai kai guzra hua lamha lamha

Jis ko mai aj bhi seenay se laga rakhta hoo

Terey nazdeek faqat Yaad ki parchai ho

——

Teri Majboriyoo se waqif hoon!

Is liye mai tujay Ilzam nahee de sakta,

Apni chahat ko koi naam nahee de saktam

Ek peghaam hai trerey liye; Yeh Khamoshi,

Aur tau koi peghaam nahee de saktaa,

terey lafzo, terey ashko terey ankho ki qasam,

Zabt Ab saath kisi Gaam nahee de sakta,

—–

Yeh Kahani tau mere Saath chalegi Atif

Is Kahani ko anjaam nahee de sakta!

From the very start of Teabreak.pk we faced some allegations and criticism from a particular section of the blogging society. Now being a reasonable being we firmly believe in positive criticism. In fact positive analysis can help you revaluate points that went unnoticed for any reason. And we are not only open for suggestions and feedbacks but there are quite a few examples that we took criticism from one of our subscribers and made changes that also turned out to be helpful for us.

But here are few issues that I want to clear here;

Is it fair for the writers to publish their full posts on Teabreak.pk website?

First of all every blogger has total control over the amount of material that can be published through RSS Feeds. So if any blogger ever have a similar objection they can their self put a lid on their bottle.

Secondly and most importantly the very aim of TB is to promote bloggers. Teabreak.pk is visited by 10,000 visitor’s everyday which is 10 times the amount of traffic that many blogs fail to achieve in years. So if any blogger can produce quality blogposts we are helping that particular blogger by redirecting the traffic to its blog. We are not publishing their whole archive but giving the teaser of their work and what the blogger is capable of writing.

Today more than 200 blogs are subscribed to Teabreak network. In fact the turnout has been so great by the grace of God that we have decided to close these subscriptions for some time and we are not taking any more requests for the time being. So that completely nullifies the very idea that we are in some pathetic way breeding on the Write-ups of bloggers.

Why Teabreak is not for you?

Big Blogs who have been the part of the blogosphere for quite some time and who for some reason believe that we can destroy their ranking; please read the Terms and Conditions page carefully and bare yourself the trouble of writing long withdraw emails.
